County Board approved in 2010 for various projects and equipment. The balance remaining is
$117,156 .13. Thompson explained once all projects are complete there will be approximately
$2000 remaining in debt issuance. That amount will be applied to replacing the damaged sod on
the east side of the building. The bond money must be used by April 1, 2013.
4. Resolution Amending Rules and Bylaws of the Board of Supervisors of St. Croix County

to the March County Board meeting. Motion by Supervisor Standafer, 2nd by Supervisor Ring to
approve the changes to the Rules and Bylaws. Corporation Counsel Gillen went over the
proposed changes with the Committee. Discussion ensued. Ring commented that three minutes

5. Mailroom Badge Access for County Board Supervisors
Thompson briefly explained the history of County badge access. In 2007 the County board
passed a resolution that supervisors do not have badge access to county buildings. A badge
access swipe has recently been installed on the mailroom hall door. A question arose about
giving badge access to County Board supervisors to enter the mailroom. Discussion of options.
Consensus of Committee was to not provide badge access to supervisors and to proceed with the
plan that County Clerk staff delivers mail to supervisors at the counter.
6. Land Auction and Capital Projects Update
Ziliak handed out the Real Estate Auction Agreement with Barry Hager, Agreement between
BNA Realty, LLC (HHS relocation) and St. Croix County and Land Auction & Capital Projects
Update. Administrator Thompson gave an overview of the terms of the two agreements and
explained the RFP process for the HHS and 911 relocations. Two RFP selection committees will
be formed and will include County Board representation from HHS and Public Protection. Ziliak
reviewed the auction timeline and capital projects update with the Committee. Administrator
Thompson referred to a previous Committee of the Whole Powerpoint that identified the five
drivers for the HHS project that will determine elements in the RFP - IT connectivity, proximity
to the judiciary, medical records, functional and financial eligibility. Determinations will be
made whether HHS can be housed together or split up. Discussion regarding medical records.
Administrator Thompson will provide updates of the projects to the HHS Board, Public
Protection, Administration and the County Board on a monthly basis. Expenditures will be
tracked and provided to the committees and County Board as the project progresses.
The committee took a five minute break.
