ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
April 1, 1997
Meeting called to order at 9:00 A.M. by Chairman Daryl Standafer.
Members Present: Filipiak, Kellaher, Luckey, O'Connell and
Standafer.
Others Present: Bill Rubin, St. Croix County Economic Development.
Adoption of Agenda: Motion by Kellaher, 2nd by Filipiak to adopt
the agenda. Carried.
Next Meeting Date: May 6, 1997
Adoption of Minutes: Motion by Filipiak, 2nd by Kellaher to adopt
the March 4, 1997 minutes. Carried.
Rules and By -Laws: Chair Standafer feels the rules and by-laws are
in need of some housekeeping and re -drafting. He would like each
committee member to read them and jot down anything they feel needs
to be addressed or changed.
Statewide Legislative Issues: A copy of the Analysis of the State
Budget for 1997-1999 was distributed to the committee members.
Chair Standafer suggested that the committee have specific issues
ready to present to the legislators for discussion at legislative
meetings. Some examples being, gas increase, bridge update, free
wheeling or nursing home issues. When the letter of invitation is
sent to the legislators, a list of issues that the committee would
like addressed would also be included.
Stillwater Bridge: The proposed bridge resolution never made it
out of committee, therefore, it will not be debated or discussed in
either of the Minnesota houses.
The St. Croix River Regional Commissions main topic of discussion
is which corridor should be used versus a "no build" attitude.
This was decided at "committee" level not by the full "commission".
Where are we at with the biggest picture possible was asked of Bill
Rubin by Chair Standafer. Senator Luther (MN) doesn't see
litigation or mediation as an answer. An executive order from the
President of the United States may be necessary to settle this
issue. Senator Kind (WI) will be here for an open meeting on April
3, 1997. This concern should be brought to his attention on behalf
of Wisconsin citizens.
Motion by O'Connell, 2nd Filipiak to have Chair Standafer attend
the open meeting. Carried.
Revoving Loan Fund: There is still a lack of understanding on the
part of County Board Supervisors.
Bill Rubin explained how the revolving loan fund works. An outline
of potential policies and procedures was distributed to the
committee. The main problem is trying to get the board to
understand the revolving loan procedure.
The committee reviewed the original draft presented by Rubin, and
gave suggestions on ways to present the procedures more clearly to
the County Board for a better understanding. A "flow chart" was
one suggestion that the committee felt would better clairfy some of
the misunderstandings.
There was much discussion on the make up of a loan advisory
committee. It was decided that it should consist of seven members
from all of St. Croix County. 2 county board supervisors, a
minimum of 4 professionals (bankers, loan officers etc.) and 2 lay
members. All geographically dispersed with staggered terms.
A rough draft will be drawn up and sent to committee members by the
end of the week. This will give the members a chance to read and
make any comments, changes etc. before the final draft is drawn up
for presentation to the full County Board.
Motion by Kellaher, 2nd by Filipiak to approve the draft as
submitted, subject to various suggested revisions to be presented
at the April 15, 1997 County Board session. Carried.
Discussion on Chair Standafer' s letter to Senator Luther urging the
construction of the Stillwater bridge as soon as possible. Motion
to send the letter by Kellaher, 2nd by Filipiak. Carried.
Wisconsin Sesquicentennial: The 150th anniversary of Wisconsin.
Many celebrations are being planned throughout the state in honor
of this important anniversary. Any plans or celebrations in St.
Croix County should be reported for recognition by the
Sesquicentennial Commission.
Motion to adjourn at 11:00 A.M. by O'Connell, 2nd by Filipiak.
Carried.
Respectfully submitted,
Lee Kellaher, Secretary
