(A) At the July 14th Session discussion on the possibility of the necessity of
more County Board Committee meetings than the Statutes allow per year was not
taken up. Statutes provide for a limit of 26 Committee meetings per year and
if some Supervisors are on more than one Committee this presents a problem.

change the number of meetings that can be held. Supervs. Dahm and Pierson both
urged some revision. Motion by Superv. Dahm, 2nd by Superv. Best that this
problem be referred to the Genral Service Committee to study and present to the

using $1,000.00 as a salary for a helper for the balance of the year and apply-
ing $1,000.00 as part payment for a Boat under the establishing of a i2i icipal
Water Patrol. Superv. xrnquist spoke on Warden Stavlo's suggestion for better
supervision of inland waterways. Discussion by Chairman Anderson on the neeo for
County Ordinances. District Attorney stated that the County could not enforce
City Ordinances. ��arden Stavlo stated that due to the Conservation Dep t. cut-
back this year, the new boat and equipment promised him probably will nbt be
forth -coming. Further discussion by Supervs. Dahm, Rock, Wdl:droff,'C. Thompson
-2--
and Sandeen. Superv, Pierson asked questions on this County warden assistance
at this time. Warden Stavlo assured the Board this present amount of money
asked for, was only until a Municipal Water -Patrol could be established under
which the State pays 75% of the operating cost - St. Croix County 25%.
The District Attorney informed the Board that if County Ordinances are adopted
regulating some of the Lakes and Streams problems, they could be self-supporting.
Fines would then be paid into the County. Motion by Superv. Best, 2nd by Superv.
Torgerson that the sum of $3,000.00 be set-up in a Water -Patrol Funds and auth-
ori.xation to transfer this amount from the General Fund. Warden Stavlo stated
that under this appropriation $1,500.00 should be under Conservation for Warden
man -power and $1,500.00 under the Sheriff Dept. for Municipal Water -Patrol
equipment. Chairman Anderson called on Finance Chairman, Dahm, who stated that
this should all be in a separate department of Water -Patrol. Superv. Rock
