Communications Director Bruce Brantner, Corporation Counsel Greg

The meeting was called to order at 1:05 p.m. by Chair Linda Luckey.
Motion by Krueger/Breault to approve the agenda as published.
Carried.
The next meeting will be Feb. 8th at 1:00 p.m.
Motion by Breault/Giese to approve the minutes of Dec. 7th.
Carried.
SAFETY & SECURITY: Bruce Brantner reported that we are getting
prices on a surveillance video camera for the lower parking lot.
We also have a quote from Johnston Communications of $4000 for an
intercom for the entire building. There has been no action taken
on the other recommendations. The Committee requested that Ralph
Robole report back with an update of prices for the remaining
projects at the February meeting.
MEDICAL EXAMINER'S REPORT: The report was reviewed. Motion by
Breault/Giese to approve the bills of $4283.31. Carried.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY BILLS: Motion by Giese/Breault to approve the
bills of $6715.50. Carried.
LARGE ASSEMBLY ORDINANCE: Greg Timmerman reported that he thought
an ordinance with restrictions for large assemblies would be better
than an ordinance that prohibits concerts altogether. The basis for
regulating concerts could be noise levels, traffic control problems
or trespass concerns. The ordinance could address a detailed
control plan for sufficient parking, a totally enclosed area with
fence and stationary seating. It will also have fines and
injunctions for violations. Greg will have a rough draft of this
for the next meeting.

CLUES UPDATE: Bruce Brantner reported that we have purchased eight
terminals with a package that is tied into State files. These are
used in the District Attorney's office, Clerk of Court, and
Sheriff's department.
JAIL CAPTAIN'S REPORT: Karen Humphrey requested the use of Jail
assessment funds for upgrading the Jail law library according to
Wisconsin State Statutes. This will probably cost around $3000.
Library Director Maureen Farrell will help her with this project.
No action was taken at this time.
CHIEF DEPUTY'S REPORT: Max Ihrke presented some material on an IBM
VoiceType Dictation computer. VoiceType Dictation transforms spoken
words into accurate text that is available within seconds without
typing and without the time-consuming, labor-intensive process of
manually transcribing dictation. Discussion was held. Motion by
Giese/Breault to investigate the possibility of pursuing this
technology and the cost. Carried.
SHERIFF'S REPORT: Double bunking reports for the month of December
were reviewed. Discussion was held. Motion by Krueger/Breault to
approve the Sheriff's Department bills of $21,907.68 and Jail's
bills of $31,630.72. Carried. Total revenue for the month of
December was $71,612.63. Total Jail revenues for 1995 were
$716,276.40.
Sheriff Burch reported that the Humane Society has contacted him
offering to take over any cruelty to animals calls from his
department if they can receive the excess dog money from the
County. No definite answer was given to them at this time.
CHILD SUPPORT ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: Lynn Holmes requested an
additional amount of $1275.91 for the hook-up of the KIDS program.
Motion by Giese/Breault to approve this expense by taking it from
the 1995 Kids budget line item. '
Lynn reported that the KIDS program is scheduled for implementation
on March Sth.
Motion by Giese/Breault to adjourn at 3:15 p.m. Carried.
