Park Manager's Report Grant reported the lawn mowers were delivered last week and he should have things ready for the Memorial Day weekend if the weather is good for a couple of days. Grant handed out a copy of a news article from the St. Paul Pioneer Press regarding the tax freeze in St. Croix County and referred to a quote by John Krizek in the article regarding mandated County services. Grant discussed the fact that the funds that we received in the past for the parks have strings attached --we cannot just abandon the parks. Grant then read a letter to the editor from a local newspaper complimenting the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors, Joe Grant and the park staff for the good job they do at Glen Hills. Grant noted that he has not had time to post the Woodville Trail. Luckey talked to County Sheriff Ralph Bader and he suggested that the ordinance number also be posted on the signs. Luckey stated that she had talked to law enforcement about the motor vehicles illegally using the trail. Grant then asked the Committee about ATV's on the trail. The Committee agreed that the trail use should be limited to snowmobiles, bicycles, and hikers. Grant noted that he has signs he purchased previously stating "No motor vehicles except snowmobiles permitted on trail." However, since the Parks Ordinance as last updated, the ordinance number on the sings is incorrect. He will correct the ordinance number with an overlay before putting the signs on the trail. Grant will contact Corporation Counsel and Sheriff Bader for correct wording for the signs. Grant reported that there are 47 reservations for the Memorial Day weekend and he is expecting an overflow crowd. Chairperson Dorsey excused at 9:50 a.m. Secretary Luckey chaired the meeting in Rather then create obligations in the County, we could warn people of the three conditions as an addition to the CSM.

Timmerman will work with staff and Supervisor Luckey on these issues.

Park Dedication Fees Denzer distributed copies of more letters she received from the Town of Cady and the Town of Hudson stating they oppose additional park fees. She stated that staff is trying to find an alternative plan to raise funds for County parks. If this is not possible, maybe the Park and Outdoor Recreation Plans should be changed. Denzer stated that she will provide the Committee with all the information compiled up to this time prior to the June meeting and will ask the Committee how staff should proceed on the Park and Outdoor Recreation Plan. Apple River/Huntington Property Denzer reviewed the meeting she and Fodroczi had with Al Nyhagen and County Surveyor Jim Rusch. Fodroczi pointed out on a parcel map the properties that adjoin the County property that are of primary concern and were discussed at the meeting. It was decided that these properties will have to have an abstract done, with a private surveyor, not using the County Surveyor to avoid any conflict. The Committee asked staff to get cost estimates. County Surveyor Fodroczi reminded the Committee of a motion passed at the joint meeting last December with the Transportation Committee to do a review of the County Surveyor's job in time for preparation for the budget process. Fodroczi stated that he feels the County Surveyor's work activities are important elements of the County Land Information Plan and feels that all the other land and property offices would like the County Surveyor to be located with them at the new Government Center. He further informed the Committee that by statute, the County Surveyor's office is supposed to be located in the County seat. Fodroczi pointed out that our County is in good shape regarding remonumentation compared to surrounding counties, but not in Geodetic control and satellite surveying. Discussion of equipment and budget needs. Chairman Dorsey directed Fodroczi to prepare a budget and justification for review. Real Property Lister Counterwork Fodroczi explained the problems and disagreements with the architect over change orders for counters in the Register of Deeds, Treasurer's, and Real Property Lister's offices. He explained that the original drawings only showed exterior dimensions and that staff did not see the final drawings and interior dimensions before construction. The file drawers and assessment roll storage areas are too small. The Building Committee met the Tuesday night before County Board meeting and agreed to pay half the cost to change everything except the assessment roll storage compartments. Fodroczi asked the Committee for their support in getting this change order reconsidered by the Building Committee. The Committee all agreed that the correction should be made. Chairman Dorsey encouraged Committee members to contact members of the Building Committee and instructed Fodroczi to attend the June 3rd Building Committee meeting to request reconsideration. 1994 Budget Fodroczi reported that the Department Heads will receive budget instructions at 5 the July Department Head meeting. He asked the Committee for direction with the Land Information budget. Fodroczi was directed to prepare a plan to spend the monies on land information projects. Overall Economic Development Program Fodroczi distributed and reviewed copies of a draft resolution for 1993-1994 and a copy of the resolution from 1992-1993 along with the projects being proposed in St. Croix County. This was put together by Regional Planning and they are asking for the Committee's recommendation to the County Board for approval. Motion by Boche, seconded by Luckey to present to the County Board for approval. Motion carried. Any Other Business Fodroczi distributed copies of other county adult entertainment ordinances for the Committee to review before the June meeting. Cyril Cernohous asked the Committee if the Committee was going to discuss or act on the letter he gave them previously. The Committee agreed to look into the Cernohous letter.
