Part 6 (2009/074): Additions, 1973-1998
Physical Description: 3.4 cubic feet (3 records center cartons and 1 archives box) 
Scope and Content Note: Subject files, 1973-1998, containing memoranda, appeals, legal opinions, notes, research information, planning, inspections and correspondence created by department attorneys related to legislation and general areas of departmental interest such as nursing homes, hospitals, clinics, child care, safety codes, pharmacy, medical records, and sanitation among other subjects. Of special interest are files pertaining to a lawsuit filed by Tomorrow's Children Inc. against Sheboygan County in 1994. Sheboygan County claimed that the care center for special needs children had broken their contract with the county through an excessive reserve fund while Tomorrow's Children claimed that their contract with the county was ambiguous with regard to the reserve fund. The dispute was brought to the Sheboygan County Court where the ruling favored the county and was subsequently brought before the State Court which ruled in favor of Tomorrow's Children. Files include audit files by Sheboygan County of Tomorrow's Children, past audits of other similar cases, available cost manuals, case research, notes, correspondence, court briefs and testimony.
