Johnson CountyDennis WeiserMissouri Courthouses: Building Memories on the Square Johnson County’s first courthouse

(1838-1878) survives today due to the restoration and preservation efforts of the Johnson County Historical Society. The foursquare style was one of the most popular designs for courthouses during the 19th century, and is the only remaining example of its type in Missouri.

County commissioners used the large first-floor courtroom for meetings when the circuit court was not in session. The Johnson County Historical Society restored the building to its original

specifications and furnished it with appropriate period pieces. The building is one the National Register of Historic Places and is now used as a museum.

In 1896, Johnson County constructed the current courthouse. Made with locally quarried sandstone, the building is the first of four Missouri courthouses designed by architect George E. McDonald of Omaha, Neb. Completed in 1898, the Romanesque-designed courthouse continues to serve the people of Johnson County and is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

For nearly 50 years, MAC has been a voice for county governments. As president, I commend the support our members have shown throughout the years in the halls of our Statehouse, fighting for our citizens and communities. Now, more than ever, we need to continue that support, not only at the Capitol, but for each other. During these uncertain times, we need to be a resource for one another and try to solve the difficult issues our communities are facing every day.

Securing a digital infrastructureAs a former Apple Education Consultant and owner of

an Information Technology business for more than 22 years that focused on network security, infrastructure and workstations, Tracy Graham knows having a strong and secure digital infrastructure may be the most important piece of infrastructure a local government can have against cyber criminals.

Last year, a school district in Southwest Missouri was the target of a ransomware attack, prompting the district to shut down its network as a precaution when ransom notes began coming out of district printers. In Texas, Lubbock County was one of 23 local government systems that was hit by a ransomware attack in August.

Hackers see local governments as an easy target due to limited IT resources, aging computer systems that may be vulnerable

to attacks, or the lack of up-to-date cybersecurity training for employees. And Graham, who is the Western District Commissioner of Audrain County, believes the amount of attacks on local governments will continue to grow.

“It used to be that you only heard that the bigger stores or companies were being targeted,” Graham said. “Now, the ‘actors’ or ‘bad guys’ have figured out that it is a lot easier to go after someone that doesn’t have any security than trying to hack those with fairly reasonable security standards.”

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that is, “designed to deny access to a computer system or data until a ransom paid,” according the Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. It can be released through email attachments or by clicking on links that place the malware on a device before it expands throughout a network.

Photo courtesy of Tracy Graham, Audrain County Western District CommissionerAudrain County Associate Commissioner Tracy Graham traveled in the fall of last year to the Multi-State Information Sharing & Analysis Center located in New York. NACo has partnered with MS-ISAC to be a resource in protecting and preventing counties from cybersecurity threats.


Cybersecurity for CountiesProtecting digital information has become a new challenge for counties. NACo has partnered with the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) to promote increased cybersecurity for county governments.

Cybersecurity for counties can provide: • 24x7 support, • Vulnerability Management Program, • Real-time monitoring and early threat detection, • Professional teams to assist with cybersecurity incidents,• Cyber intel advisories & alerts.

This program is free for county governments.

Learn more at www.NACo.org/cybersecurity

The malware can then encrypt files on the network and lock users out of their computers. After that, hackers typically demand some form of payment to unlock the files or computers.

Six years ago, Graham was working for his company when he heard of a ransomware attack on a local private company in his area.

“It took us a little bit to figure out what was going on,” he said. “It locked every piece of data they had. They could not do anything. Now, it’s a daily occurrence, if you’re not protecting yourself.”

Counties will soon have resources that they can turn to if they need help when it comes to cybersecurity. The IT Standing Committee for the National Association of Counties (NACo), which Graham serves as a vice chair, slightly changed its function last year. The committee used to be for internal IT issues for NACo, but now is focused on promoting webinars and a portal where counties are able to access other resources to help educate employees and strengthen their networks. The portal will roll out soon and be known as Tech Xchange.

NACo’s recent partnership with the Multi-State Information Sharing & Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) is already helping with some of the work. The MS-ISAC is the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s key resource for cyber threat prevention, protection, response and recovery for state and local

governments.

At no cost, counties can get involved in this cybersecurity program, which can provide:

• vulnerability management program,

• IP and domain monitoring,

• notifications of possible compromises,

• incident response resources,

• tools for simplifying security updates,

• secure portals for communication and document sharing,

• cyber intel advisories & alerts,

• malicious code analysis platform and

• self-assessments for cybersecurity management.

Graham got to see the operations center of the MS-ISAC, which is located near Albany, New York last year, as he was part of a group that was invited to tour the facility.

While it may have not been exactly like the ‘War Room’ as depicted Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove, Graham said the walls of the operations room inside the MS-ISAC were filled with nothing but monitor screens. On those screens, staff were watching their clients’ internet traffic. Graham said that

continued on page 6

www.mocounties.com6

the MS-ISAC had other client offerings that would allow them to monitor a client’s inside internet traffic, which is vital because of the information counties are in charge of securing from getting into the wrong hands.

Graham said the MS-ISAC is not like a firewall, stopping attacks. He said the objective of MS-ISAC is to identify patterns that could lead to an attack or a vulnerability in one’s network that could allow for cybersecurity attacks.

“You can identify, by traffic patterns, opportunities or vulnerabilities that you would otherwise not know of,” he said. “So, some traffic patterns going out of your network to specific locations, they’re monitoring those types of things.”

Graham got to sit with an analysis in the ‘War Room’ at MS-ISAC and said the staff was showing everyone how they look at code and the traffic that is coming in and out of a network, and

what is in that traffic. Graham then took the opportunity to ask the MS-ISAC staff to test Audrain County’s website.

“They have all these special tools they use and they were doing the evaluation

on the website and they said that our website was a really good, secure website,” he said. “But there were a couple of things that they pointed out that we needed to implement. Since then, we’ve implemented those changes to (our website) to make it a little more secure.”

Graham said webinars will be scheduled for this year and NACo already has an Enterprise Cybersecurity Leadership program that IT employees can take at a reduced cost for members. He also said the MS-ISAC has templates that IT employees can begin to implement that will harden a county’s network servers and workstations.

“If we can get more involvement with MS-ISAC and NACo Tech Xchange, it will really push the counties in Missouri to a better point than where we’re at, because I know there are a lot of counties that don’t have anything.” Graham said.

Graham said the best advice he could

give to his peers in local government based on his experience in the IT field is to make sure that they do their due diligence on whoever they hire or contract to build and maintain their digital infrastructure.

“Vet your providers and service providers,” he said. “Even some of the hardware that is coming from overseas is already hardwired, so you have to be very careful. You pay for what you get. If someone is coming in and doing your network or infrastructure on the side for free, it’s really time to look at a professional group to assess and monitor that.”

He also suggested employees brush up on their c y b e r s e c u r i t y training and learn how to recognize malicious emails

or links.

“About 85 percent of all hackers and infections are because users clicked on a bad link or a bad email,” he said. “End user training is the top thing that counties need to look at.”

The information in this article provides counties with operational and workplace guidelines on responding to issues and questions related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). These guidelines may be adjusted as the state and counties learn more about the spread and impacts of COVID-19. MAC encourages counties to develop their own guidelines and policies in cooperation with state and local health officials and only offers this as a template for consideration. MAC also encourages counties to look at these guidelines as the state and counties begin to lift stay-at-home orders and reopen the state.

Gov. Mike Parson lifted his stay-at-home order on May 3 and information on his guidelines on reopening Missouri can be found at showmestrong.mo.gov. The four pillars of the governor’s Show-Me Strong Recovery Plan, which began on May 4, is “intended to protect those most at risk of exposure to COVID-19 while returning Missouri to a new normal.”

The governor’s pillars include:

• Expand testing capacity and volume in the state;

• Expand reserves of PPE by opening public and private supply chains;

• Continue to monitor and, if

necessary, expand hospital and health care system capacity, including isolation and alternate care facilities for those that cannot self-quarantine at home; and

• Improve ability to predict potential outbreaks using Missouri’s public health data.

Other resources for coronavirus information include the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services at health.mo.gov, and the CDC at cdc.gov/coronavirus. The federal government’s plan on reopening the country can be found at whitehouse.gov/openingamerica.

The Federal and state guidelines can change quickly during this pandemic so visit the websites that are suggested

to ensure the guidelines are up to date when considering responses to COVID-19.

Here are some things that members may consider that are still a factor as Missouri reopens for business:

Steps to take regarding daily office operations

Managers and supervisors must encourage employees to remain home when they are sick.

Take steps to maximize telework options for as many employees as possible. For employees who do not ordinarily telecommute, ask supervisors to identify tasks that employees can do remotely, or provide alternative options for telecommuting, if circumstances

later necessitate an expansion of telework.

Conferences, meetings and business-related gatherings

Consider, where possible, canceling or adjusting non-essential in-person employee meetings and gatherings of 10 or more individuals for the time being. Please work with staff to develop alternatives for conducting these meetings and use good judgment when determining which meetings are essential. If meetings can’t be canceled, make sure any social distancing guidelines are maintained.

Work with staff to develop alternatives for conducting these meetings to minimize risk, including the use of remote meeting technology.

Direction related to travel

All business travel to impacted areas on the CDC list Warning Levels 3 and 2 is cancelled.

Limit all non-essential business travel. Essential travel should be determined by the governing body.

When determining what is essential travel you should consider several factors, including: is the travel related to the Agency Continuity of Operations; what is the destination and is it currently impacted; what is the mode of travel and does it involve movement through impacted areas; what is the mission, and does it take the person into a higher exposure situation (i.e. large conference); and are there alternative methods that can still accomplish the mission?

Guidance when considering office closure

Decisions on office closure are to be made in consultation with the impacted elected officials when possible. For offices housed with multiple agencies, impacted directors are to coordinate with each other prior to closure. Essential functions of the office must be maintained as part of your Continuity of Operations Plan.

When determining whether to close an office please consider several factors, including: impact to the mission and public; risk to employees and public of remaining open; alternatives to continue effective operations (remote location, telecommuting); span of impacted area or potential for further contamination; impact of closure on employees and public; and ability to conduct a partial

closure of office.

How should our organization navigate questions on possible exposure

The steps an organization should take when an employee reports a possible exposure to COVID-19 depends upon the specific circumstances but employers are asked to error on the side of caution.

ti

continued on page 12


When preparing for issues related to exposure, please follow the steps:

First: get familiar with existing CDC risk assessment resources found at cdc/gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/index.html.

Second: consult with your local health jurisdiction to assess next steps.

Third: based on the advice of the local health jurisdiction, take appropriate action. If the employee is directed to stay away from the workplace, determine if remote work is an option while the employee is away from the office and able to work. If the employee is unable to work remotely, explore leave options for the employee. Agencies should administer leave in accordance with the employee leave provisions of their applicable collective bargaining agreement or rules. The U.S. Department of Labor has guidelines on leave in the Families First Coronavirus Response Act: employee Paid Leave Rights that can be found at dol.gov.

Note: If working with an employee confirmed to have COVID-19, agencies should inform employees of their possible exposure but maintain confidentiality as required by ADA and/or HIPAA.

Quarantine

Prior to taking action regarding office closure, work restrictions, or quarantine, consult with your health department staff/health officer/board of health and county attorney’s office.

Rep. Allen Andrews, R-Grant City, speaks to MAC board members during the January board meeting at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Jefferson City. Rep. Andrews was recognized by the board for his help and support in passing House Bill 220 last year, which allows the tax revenue on wind farms owned by a public utility to remain local.

Andrews receives recognition Missouri Rep. Allen Andrews, R-Grant City,

received recognition from members of the MAC Board of Directors during their January meeting for his work last year on House Bill 220.

HB 220 ensures any tax revenue generated from publicly owned utility companies that uses wind to generate electricity will remain within the local taxing jurisdiction. Gov. Mike Parson signed the bill into law last summer.

Andrews represents several counties in Northwest Missouri that already have several wind farms scattered throughout his district. He worked closely with Atchinson County Clerk and MAC President-Elect Susette Taylor and Warren County Assessor and former MAC President Wendy Nordwald to get the legislation passed.

MAC board members thanked him for the work he did on passing this vital piece of legislation that benefits local governments.

The federal Medicaid Inmate Exclusion policy (MIEP) is putting undue hardships on county judicial, law enforcement, public safety and human services systems across the nation, and is a threat to the balance of health care costs, quality and access.

The impacts of this policy are poorer health outcomes and quality of life for our residents – as more than 95 percent of inmates and those being detained eventually return to the community, bringing their health conditions with them.

It drives the over-incarceration of those suffering from mental health and substance use disorders, as our county jails are now among the largest behavioral health facilities in the nation.

It also puts an undue financial burden on local taxpayers to provide the full cost of health treatment services that would normally be shared among federal, state and local government partners.

In early 2019, the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Sheriff’s Association (NSA) convened a joint task force to identify and raise awareness about the negative impacts of MIEP. The joint task force is made up of members representing both county law enforcement and local elected officials.

The group’s goal was four-fold:• Educate federal partners and the

general public on the negative impact of the inmate exclusion policy.

• Amend this federal policy and identify local innovations that would complement legislative changes and strengthen the local health care safety-net for inmates returning to their communities.

• Develop resources that provide context to the negative impacts of

health care discontinuity for jail detainees – especially for individuals plagued by significant substance use disorders and mental illness.

• Consolidate information gleaned in task force discussions into a comprehensive report outlining recommendations and best practices that spanned federal, state and local governments.

Though advocacy efforts of the task force, two key pieces of legislation have been introduced in the U.S. Senate that will amend a section of the Social Security Act and protect access to health care benefits for pretrial detainees. The Equity in Pre-Trial Medicaid Coverage Act and the Restoring Health Benefits for Justice-Involved Individuals Act were introduced last October. Since then, the task force has aimed to obtain bipartisan support for the bill and secure companion legislation in the House.

Beyond federal policy change, the task force outlined ways in which states and counties can look to regulatory changes to build the local capacity to provide health services, such as:

creating flexibility around the Institutes for Mental Disease (IMD) exclusion policy; expanding mechanisms for data-collection and sharing; and strengthening partnerships between counties and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The group also identified best practices for improving the provision of health care for justice-involved individuals by reinforcing community partnerships, identifying individuals with health care needs, creating linkages to health service providers and leveraging federal grant funding.

The work of this task force has made the need for reform evident.

Amending federal policy is vital to turning around our nation’s behavioral health crisis, and the responsibility of change must fall equally among federal, state and local governments.

Reform needed for Medicaid Inmate Exclusion policy

Missouri owes its counties and the City of St. Louis more than $33 million in jail reimbursement after making third quarter FY 2020 payments on claims that have been audited by the Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC). This amount only includes bill of costs claims and does not include any claims made for transportation and extradition.

Missouri reimburses county jails for detaining state prisoners for the number of days they spend in county jails while their court cases are processed. If convicted and sentenced to serve time in the DOC, Missouri counties will be reimbursed for the number of days an inmate spent being detained before being transferred to the custody of the DOC.

The state appropriated $38 million for jail reimbursements in FY 2020. Any remaining funds appropriated for jail reimbursements will be used toward unpaid claims.

The DOC begins paying claims after they have been audited and when funds are released by the state, which occurs on the first business day on or after July 1, Oct. 1, Jan. 1 and April 1.

The board rate for jail reimbursement in FY 2020 is $22.58 per day, per inmate.

Information about jail reimbursements, including instructions and forms for making a claim can be found the DOC’s website at https://doc.mo.gov/divisions/human-services/county-reimbursement.

EPA finalizes new Waters of the U.S. definitionThe U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) finalized a new “Waters of the U.S.” (WOTUS) definition in January to replace the 2015 WOTUS rule issued under the Obama Administration. The announcement comes two years after President Trump signed an executive order directing the EPA to withdraw and rewrite the controversial 2015 rule. The rule goes into effect on 60 days after being published in the federal register.

The new definition creates four categories of regulated waters and includes 12 exemptions. The four categories of WOTUS include:

1. Territorial seas and traditional navigable waters

2. Tributaries3. Lakes, ponds and impoundments

of jurisdictional waters4. Adjacent wetlandsThe rule specifies that if water

does not meet one of the four listed categories, it will not be considered a WOTUS and clarifies that certain other waters will also no longer be considered a WOTUS. These exemptions include:

1. Waterbodies that are not included in the four WOUTS categories

2. Groundwater3. Ephemeral features

4. Diffuse stormwater run-off and directional sheet flow over upland

5. Certain ditches6. Prior converted cropland7. Artificially irrigated areas8. Artificial lakes and ponds9. Water-filled depressions10. Stormwater control features11. Groundwater recharge, water

reuse and water recycling structures

12. Waste treatment systemsNACo is working on a detailed

analysis of the rule and will continue to track WOTUS activity.

Background Information

The term WOTUS has been around since 1899 when it was added to

the Rivers and Harbors Act, which is the initial authority for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) permit program in “navigable” waters. In 1972, WOTUS was added to the Clean Water Act (CWA) to differentiate which waters fall under federal versus state authority. Since its inclusion in the Act, the definition has been redefined several times. In the 2000’s, the U.S. Supreme Court decided two WOTUS related cases which caused further confusion about the scope of WOTUS in the field. As a result, more counties and other stakeholders had to obtain CWA Section 404 permits for some construction and maintenance projects, which can be costly, time-consuming

and complex.

Consequently, in June 2015, the Obama Administration finalized a controversial new definition for WOTUS. NACo expressed concerns about the final rule because it would increase federal jurisdiction over road, bridges, flood control channels and ditch construction and maintenance projects. Almost immediately after the rule was finalized, numerous lawsuits were filed in the district and appeals courts.

Since President Trump’s 2018 executive order, EPA has been drafting a new WOTUS definition. In February 2019, EPA and the Army Corp released the Trump Administration’s proposed new WOTUS definition. In response to the proposed definition, in April 2019, NACo submitted two sets of comment letters. The first letter, with the National League of Cities and the U.S. Conference of Mayors, highlighted the opportunities and challenges that counties, cities and mayors

potentially face. The second letter was exclusively focused on counties and went into greater detail on how the rule could potentially impact county-owned infrastructure. It also offered recommendations to the agencies.

On September 12, the Trump Administration released a final rule to repeal the 2015 “Waters of the U.S.” (WOTUS) definition and reinstate the pre-2015 WOTUS definition from 1986, which is currently in effect.

Serving our member counties since 1987

Maries County and Henry County recently became new members in the MAC Trust. Membership in the Trust now currently stands at 91 of 114 Missouri counties.

The MAC Trust was created to provide a service tailor-made for the needs of counties that would save millions of dollars in premiums, compared to the cost for similar workers’ comp coverage on the commercial market, as well as to provide revenue to the association so there would not be a need to increase member service fees.

Membership in the Trust is open to counties which are members of the Missouri Association of Counties, to cities located within those counties, and other governmental entities established by MAC member counties whose employees have the same status as county employees for the purposes of workers’ compensation. The Trust is governed by a five-member board of directors, all of whom are county officials. They are elected to serve three-year staggered terms by a majority vote of the fund members at the MAC fall annual meeting.

The Trust started in 1987 when MAC formed its Workers’ Compensation Fund. In 2010, the fund changed its name to MAC Trust from the Missouri Association of Counties Workers’

Compensation Fund.

The program NURSENOW is a 24/7 call-in service. It was launched with afterhours and weekend employees in mind, but can be used by any worker provided the county has approved utilization of the service. Calls are triaged by a registered nurse who can offer prompt medical direction to an

injured worker, making it ideal for use immediately following a non-life-threatening emergency. For more information about NURSENOW, contact Julie Weir at 866-825-9800. Claims can also be filed by fax or online by setting up an online account with CCMSI’s Tom Dressler, who can be reached at 314-418-5515 or at [email protected].
