Bradley to remove this Ordinance from the agenda and postpone action until October. Dorsey explained a protest had been filed with the County Clerk on September 16 by adjacent landowners. The Zoning staff needs more time to verify if the landowners are adjacent. Carried. 1993 Audit Report: Steve Tracey from the auditing firm of Tracy and Thole provided an overview of the 1993 audit. He referred to the Undesignated Balance as Percentage of Expenditures which is 13.160-. in 1993. In the bond market a good rating is needed and the very minimum is 5. Tracey believes 15. to 20o is a good place to be. St. Croix County is financially sound and copies of the audit are on file in Administration, Finance and County Clerk's offices. Administrative Coordinator: John Krizek noted he and Chair Boche attended the Wisconsin Counties Convention in Green Bay at which Governor Thompson spoke. Thompson indicated he would not change local aids to counties and municipalities but there will be no increases. The Governor now believes $150 million, rather than $1 billion, will be needed in both 1995 and 1996 to reduce property tax rates for schools. The Governor is relying on increased growth and decreasing medical assistance to fund schools. Krizek stated in the 1995 County Budget the expenses total $45,392,996, a 7.26 increase; revenues total $45,469,650 a 7.4% increase. Sales tax revenue is estimated at $2,100,000. Krizek outlined the Revenue and Expenses by category. Finance Committee budget reviews will be held at the Government Center on September 27 and 28. At a 5.54 mill rate the budget now stands at $76,654 in 11 excess revenue over expenditures and includes a $250,000 contingency fund. Double celling in the jail is not included in the budget at this point. Chair Boche commended Krizek on his fine presentation given at that WCA convention on maintaining a mill rate. Boche also noted very few counties with casinos receive any form of payment for services and they requested a copy of our agreement with the Tribal leaders. Highway Department Six Year Improvement Program: Highway Commissioner Dan Fedderly distributed the program booklet and indicated figures included were for the construction portion only and not for general or winter maintenance, mill and overlays and chip seals. A long range project color coded map showed during the years of 1995 to 2000 which projects would be completed. The extension of Carmichael Road is scheduled for 1996 :at a cost of $440,000. Installation of stop lights at Carmichael and UU is included in the 1997 construction goals. Total project costs are $9,100,000 and $896,500 of local funds will be needed. Fedderly invited Supervisors to attend the Fall District 6 meeting hosted by St. Croix County Transportation Committee October 14 at Rivers Edge. Cost of lunch is $10 and no expenses or per diem will be paid.
