Carried unanimously. 6. Resolution #16(2011) Creating the Office of County Administrator - Motion by Supr. Sicard, 2nd by Supr. B. Hurtgen to approve.

March 1, 2011 Page 3 of 7 7. Resolution #17(2011) Approving Position Description of County Administrator and Recruitment Process - Motion by Supr. Sicard, 2nd by Rebholz to approve. Discussion regarding ad placements in addition to the primary places listed. Human Resource Administrator Tammy Funk confirmed additional ad placements will be made. Supr. Norton- Bauman asked that all committee chairs be involved in the screening. Supr. Hermsen questioned responsibility changes to oversight committees, enforcement over departments and County Administrator backing if there is a conflict. Timmerman stated this comes down to policy - making versus direct management/supervision. Timmerman indicated if conflicts arise between a committee and County Administrator, resolution of the conflict depends on if it's a policy or management issue. If personnel changes need to be made within a department, that's a management matter and the County Administrator is responsible for final action (if a Department Head position is involved this requires the consensus of the County Board to approve some personnel action regarding the Department Head). If a policy decision is involved, the County Board is responsible for final action. Overall County policies are set by the County Board. Within the parameters of the county Board policies, committees can have additional policies for departments they oversee. Timmerman stated the County Administrator is responsible for carrying out County Board policies. Carried unanimously. Chair Standafer stated this is a positive step for the county's organizational structure noting the recruitment process will begin immediately. 8.

Discussion regarding changing the number of months of employment from six to five for two of the seasonal help positions. Supr. Hermsen requested confirmation regarding the retirement benefit kicking in at a lower level than five months of employment. Funk confirmed Wisconsin Retirement eligibility is if someone is excepted to work a year and up to six hundred hours. The only caveat she would add to the park's positions is they are seasonal and returning so the same six month person returns each year and is working over the 600 hours so Wisconsin Retirement could still apply. Parks Director Bob Heise confirmed he plans to hire the reoccurring individual to come back as she has been working for the Parks Department for seventeen years. Malick confirmed it costs less to employ for five months rather than six and wished the Administration Committee would have realized the cost savings in retirement. Carried: Yes — 13; No - 1.

Larson, 2nd by Rebholz to approve. Emergency Services Director Casey Swetlik explained the concept behind this is to speed up replacement of vacant 911 positions. It is to garner support for recognition of the base number for 911 dispatchers. Should there be an opening, this is to attempt expeditious to replacement of the individual and is financially desired because by contract he needs to fill openings by overtime which is time and one -half. Swetlik stated his 2011 budget was made up with the concept of the overtime component with the filling of March 1, 2011 Page 6 of 7 position without delay. If there are multiple steps with soft hiring freeze that would create a delay in filling the positions. Carried: Yes — 10; No — 4.

Norton - Bauman -D14 voted: Y 22. Report from Emergency Management Committee per Supr. Norton - Bauman's December 7, 2010 request on the issue of half -time clerical position in the Emergency Management Department. Swetlik explained the restructuring process done in 2009 and the number of responsibilities needed to be addressed from Emergency Management. The working group put together a number to accomplish the needs addressed. Swetlik reviewed the positions. The 2011 budget contained the .5 position which was removed by the County Board and the budget meeting. Swetlik reviewed the responsibilities of the .5 position. Swetlik confirmed the uncertainty in the budget at the state level but noted the upcoming spring thaw and possible flooding. Swetlik highlighted the .5 position workload and what it means for the county. With the .5 position needs can be met more efficiently and quicker. Chair Standafer asked Supr. Norton- Bauman if she is satisfied with the response. Supr. Norton- Bauman asked what needs the prior administration left the Emergency Management Department. Swetlik stated the department is behind in being electronically up to date. Supr. Rebholz spoke in support of the .5 position. Supr. Hermsen reviewed past and current department structure and feels the .5 position is not necessary and to make effective use of the staff we have. Discussion regarding contracting the .5 position or use of volunteers. Swetlik confirmed this position would do highly technical administrative work which would require oversight. Motion by Supr. Schrank to go through the hiring procedure for .5 position in Emergency Management. Char Standafer stated this motion is out of order as there is no action item on the agenda and will take this as an advisory request to have on the County Board agenda at the next meeting for consideration. Supr. Hermsen asked since a motion made and passed at the annual meeting, it is set for the year and once recorded in the minutes, cannot be rescinded. Supr. Hermsen added that in the event a motion was to come forward, it could only be by a person who voted in favor of the motion that passed at the annual meeting. Chair Standafer stated he will take that under advisement and consult with Corporation Counsel on that process. The well intended motion would not be a permitted motion to consider today but prior to the next regular County Board meeting the answer will become apparent and then we will know how to proceed as to whether or not it is an appropriate motion for the next board meeting. Supr. Norton - Bauman thanked committee and Swetlik for the effort in explaining this to the County Board on the rationale of this position. 23. Resolution Approving Receipt of Established Rate of Compensation for Sheriffs Deputy Sally Standaert — Chair Standafer indicated this resolution was not distributed 5 days before the meeting and a motion to suspend the rules to act on this matter requires a two - thirds vote (9 votes). Motion by Supr. Larson, 2nd by Supr. Sicard to suspend the rules to act on this resolution today. Supr. Malick stated the payments are retroactive and asked why it needs to be done today. Motion failed: Yes — 8; No — 6. Chair Standafer stated the resolution cannot be considered today.

Chair Standafer noted the governor's budget will be released to the legislature today at 4:00 p.m. Chair Standafer asked Committee Chairs to look carefully at the 2010 department budgets and to potentially withstand some reduction in funding in this budget cycle. Most reductions will be in the next biennium and encouraged review of department priorities.
