ing out. Ivir Sanden explained that this project is sponsored by the Federal
Gov't. and an effort has been made to locate elderly people elegible for
Food Stamps. The Nixon Administration felt that older people were not getting
the Food Stamps. Notices were sent through Social Services checks. F.I.N.D.
solicited help from O.E.O. to seek elderly pwople to find out if they qualify.
Mr Sanden also stated that St. Croix County has not felt a real impact.
Superv. Rock questioned the possibility of Welfare costs being taken over by
State L'c Federal Government. How would that affect St. Croix County if that
happened? Mr Sanden stated that certain portions of that program are happen-
ing; when Congress passed the Social Security changes last fallthey did
provide for a take over of O.A.A. , Aid to Blind, Aid to disabled. Federal
Government is assuming responsibility for those programs starting Janaary 1,
1974. That will give some financial relief on the local level. Alos Governor
Luceyts State Budget proposal is recommending that the State assume respons-
ibility for all the Welfare Programs throughout the State of Wisc. Mr Sanden
believes the State would assume the financial responsibility and administration.
Superv. DeBoer questioned if this wouldn�t mean the local control is lost.
Mr Sanden agreed that this is part of the pasture and Hearings will be held in
Madison. Superv. Boche questioned if Mr Sanden is familiar with the Talmadge

RE S 0 L U T I O N
RESOLUTION #11. L01,1za ST . CROIX SCENIC RIVEAWAX
District attorney Williams was present to answer nay questions on this Res-
olution.
Superv. Pierson questioned whether this Resolution was in conjunction with the
Minn-Wisc. Boundary Commission Model Ordinance. Dist. Att'y. explained it was not
entirely in conjunction with the Model Ordinance and gave some back --ground inform-
ation and possible out -comes if the Resolution #11 is adopted. The Boundary
Commission felt that the Model Ordinance put out could be enacted or should be
enacted in order to protect the River Area during this "Interim Period". The
"Interim Period" is from the passage of the Lower St. Croix River Act of 1972 until
October 25, 1973, at which time the Federal Government is required to promulgate
Standards. This leaves a hiatus period from time of passage until Oct. 25th,
which time development of the lands abutting the river could go on in accordance
with previous controls. In other words, the County Zoning Ordinance and the Shore -
land Protection Act. It is felt that their standards are going to be changed
radically by the Federal Government Standards. The Dist. Atttys. opinion is that
the Federal Standards will control after the "Interim Period". The Boundary Comm.
feel that if the Counties would adopt the Model Ordinance it would put a stop to
all undesirable buildings and bldgs. that would not satisfy Federal Standards. in
that way there would not be any land rush to get in there and build what is legal
now and which may not be lagal later. This comes under the heading of what is
known as "Interim Zoning".
Resolution #11 is presented with idea of drafting it for consideration by the
County Board under the standards which St. Croix County has under the existing
Zoning Ordinance.
Y

It was the Dist. xtttys, opinion that to pass the Resolution as the Boundary
Commission put it out-, would result in a manner of amending ordinances which
previously exist as St. Croix County already has this area zoned. There is
procedure specified in the acts for amending the Acts that St. Croix County has
already put on this land. If St. Croix County went ahead and passed this Reso-
lution we would be attempting to amend the Zoning Ordinances by a manner inconsist-
ent with that procedure specified in the Ordinance. It was the Dist. Atty�s.
opinion that St. Croix County could not go ahead on the "Interim Zoning's as the
Commission recommended. However he felt on revievi.ng the situation St: Croix
County could go ahead and put an absolute moratorium on lands under the theory that
there is going to be a new Master Plan which is the Federal Plan, Dist. Atty,
felt St. Croix County could say there could be no building during this period of
time. Looking at Resolution #11 the date specifies July 15th which is sorter than
Oct. 25th period. R ason for shortening the period is betrause the Boundary Comm-
ission reports that fhe standards from the Federal Gov't, will be promulgated by
that time. The Dist. Atty. opinion is that if St. Croix County is going to pass
Resolution #11 it should be in an area that he thinks Courts would sustain if
tested. The shorter the period the County restricts the moratorium and the less
restricted the better chance of having it sustained. Figure of 1,000 feet in the
Resolution was put in because the County has authority to zone land like this
pursuant to Shorelands Act, 1,000 feet from high water mark. This footage could
br adjusted by an amendment by the County.
NOTE: The Model Resolution referred to as put out by the Boundary Area Commission
should read as put out by the intergovernmental Boundary Commission as noted from
the floor at this time in the discussion.
Following the information related by the Dist. Atty. together with his opinions
