An error occurred wherein the two zoning districts were mistakenly swapped and incorrectly applied to the structures. This rezoning process will correctly assign the R-2 zoning district to the residential structure and the C-3 zoning district to the structure with the auto repair use Pertinent information regarding this application, including a map of the property, is available from the St. Croix County Community Development Department, Hudson, Wisconsin. Interested persons may submit written or oral comments related to this matter any time prior to the hearing, or at the hearing.

Exempt Timekeeping Guidelines Exempt employees shall enter all hours worked daily. Full-time (1.0 FTE) exempt employees should have eighty (80) paid hours on their timecard per pay period. Any hours worked in excess of eighty (80) hours should be recorded as excess hours on their timecard. Exempt employees assigned less than a 1.0 FTE should report their prorated hour requirement as paid hours on their timecard every pay period. For example, exempt employees assigned a .8 FTE should have sixty-four (64) paid hours on their timecard every pay period (.8 FTE x 40 hours/week x 2 week pay period = 64 hours). Any hours worked in excess of an employee's assigned FTE should be recorded as excess hours. The County is committed to work-life balance and will strive to manage workloads effectively. Still, there may be times when exempt employees need to work beyond their FTE to fulfill job responsibilities. Due to the employee's exempt status, these excess hours are unpaid. Tracking excess hours on the timecard allows for data insight into workload, position and FTE needs.

CROIX COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION Mission Statement The Mission of the St. Croix County Fair Association is to promote Agriculture, Stock Raising, Dairying, Horticulture, Manufacturing, Education, Art, and all such activities that shall tend to develop the resources and promote the prosperity of St. Croix County. Summary of Responsibilities The primary responsibility of the St. Croix County Fair Association is to provide educational events in which members of St. Croix County 4-H, F.F.A., other youth clubs, and other people exhibit individual and group projects. While the fair is a five-day event, the process of conducting the Fair is a yearlong process that begins immediately after the current fair. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the St. Croix County Fair Association to act as the coordinating body between the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors, St. Croix County Community Development Committee, Senior Citizens groups, and the Association for Home and Community Education (HCE) to carry out our Mission Statement. Further, the lease agreement between St. Croix County Fair, Inc. and the County Administration places in the Fair Association control to manage, develop, maintain, and act as the rental agent for the St. Croix County Fairgrounds. This is accomplished through a volunteer Board of Directors who as a whole, or divided into committees handle every aspect of planning and managing the St. Croix County Fair, and who manage all non-fair events that take place on the fairgrounds. The Board includes representatives from all the coordination bodies listed above. The Board oversees the development of enhancements and improvements to the fairgrounds, and is responsible for maintaining the grounds and buildings. With a few exceptions, the responsibilities of the Fair Board in the process of conducting the Fair are volunteer positions. In the weeks before, during, and a few days after the Fair, individuals contribute anywhere from 30 to 200 hours. Outside of the Fair itself, all the activities of Fair business are coordinated from home offices where time to accomplish Buubdinfou;!Boovbm!sfqpsu!Gjobm.!Gbjs!Cpbse!!)21821!;!Tu/!Dspjy!Dpvouz!Gbjs!Cpbse!Sfqpsu* these tasks can amount to hundreds of volunteer hours. Program Summary The core program element of the Fair is the heart of all agricultural fairs in North America today. Our community comes together annually to celebrate and promote all the agricultural and domestic products of our county. The Fair provides industrial exhibits, demonstrations, and Qbdlfu!Qh/!85 8/2/b competition for the advancement of livestock, horticulture and agriculture with special emphasis placed on educational activities such as 4-H, FFA, and similar youth development programs. It cultivates curiosity, learning, creativity, and leadership skills in our youth who participate. For the adults of St. Croix County, the Fair provides a place to foster cultural and fine arts, serves as a place to display and share our heritage, and connect with others. This great community event affects people all over St. Croix County. Not only is the St. Croix County Fair a place for people to share their talents, meet and socialize, entertain and be entertained, but it allows everyone the opportunity to see, hear, touch, smell, and taste the richness and variety of what our county has to offer.

It offers a wide variety of enjoyment and activities , mud volleyball, kiddie tractor pull, professional and local entertainment, K-9 demonstrations, and of course all the youth animal exhibits and non-animal exhibits from youth and adults.

Generally speaking, 55% of our budget revenue is Fair related which is generated from grandstand events, State aid, parking revenue, commercial vendor space rental, food and beverage concessions, carnival percentage, camping fees and sponsorships. 15% comes from winter storage and non- fairgrounds rental fees. Though not an official department of the County, the Fair Association falls under the Community Development Committee. Our budget request to the County typically accounts for about 30% of our total operating budget. On the expense side of our budget, about 50% is directly fair related for such things as non- volunteer labor, equipment rental, concession products, compensation, judges, premiums, tags, ribbons and trophies. It also includes entertainment, special event expenses, advertising, printing, and office supplies.

Qbdlfu!Qh/!91 8/2/b Goals and Objectives for Current Year 2024 --The main priority needs to be broadband service and stable and reliable Wi-Fi connectivity at the fairgrounds. --Purchase new/used triple mower for grounds maintenance --Install more speakers in judging arena to further improve sound quality -- Resurface the floors in the bathrooms on the main grounds -- Develop a communication plan to all locations on the fairgrounds (41 acres) by installing a suitable public address system that would link 90-100% of all buildings and areas for broadcast of general announcements, but more critically for safety and emergency information. Not only would this be of benefit during the fair, but also should the site be used for any community or county, effective communication would be necessary. This project could be accomplished in phases; however, costs would only increase over time. $30-$40,000. On behalf of the entire Fair Board, we would like to convey a very special thank you to the entire County Board and to the Supervisor representatives on the Fair Association Board, Bob Swanepoel and Greg Tellijohn, both of whom have been a genuine asset to our board. We thank Greg for his commitment and support over the last several years, and we welcome Lisa Lind to our fair family. Thank you all for your continued support.

AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Establishing 2025 Budget Priorities ______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND INFORMATION Qbdlfu!Qh/!9: :/2 Resolution No. RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING 2025 BUDGET PRIORITIES 1 WHEREAS, St. Croix County is one of the fastest growing counties in the State of 2 Wisconsin, with an expanding population requiring additional services; and 3 4 WHEREAS, St. Croix County Department Heads provided background information on 5 projected 2025 expenses at the April 25, 2024 Committee of the Whole meeting and the County 6 Board of Supervisors questioned and discussed the budget requests to establish priorities; and 7 8 WHEREAS, revenue limitations by the State continue to require tough decision 9 prioritizing which expenses will be covered with limited revenues; and 10 11 WHEREAS, the St. Croix County Board annually establishes budget priority guidelines 12 for the County Administrator to consider when putting together a budget recommendation. 13 14 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the St. Croix County Board of 15 Supervisors hereby establishes the following budget priority guidelines for the County 16 Administrator to consider when putting together the 2025 budget based on final sources available 17 to match expenses: 18 19 A. Consider increasing sales tax projected revenues closer to the state estimates to cover 20 some of the projected expenses if deemed necessary and appropriate to cover the priority 21 expenses. 22 B. The County acknowledges there will be an increase in health insurance expenses, 23 projected between 5-10%. Work to keep the expense to the lower end of the projection. 24 C.

Stat. § 43.11 governs county library planning committees. Specifically, Wis. Stat. § 43.11(1) indicates that a county board may appoint a library planning committee, but it is not required to do so. The main function of a county library planning committee is to prepare and/or revise the plan of library services. However, creation or modification of the plan of library services is not required to be completed by the county library planning committee and instead can be created or modified by the county through other means. St. Croix County participates in a federated public library system, specifically the Inspiring and Facilitating Library Success (IFLS), pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 43.15(4)(b). A county may participate in a federated public library system if three criteria are met. The first criteria is to adopt and maintain a plan of library services. Therefore, the County Library Planning Committee can be disbanded with the understanding that the function of revising the plan of library services is delegated to another person or committee within the county. The Administration Committee is currently responsible, pursuant to Article Four, Section I.1.c.19 of the Rules of the Board of Supervisors, to recommend to the County Board changes to the St. Croix County Library Service Plan. Qbdlfu!Qh/!:3 :/3 Resolution No. RESOLUTION DISBANDING COUNTY LIBRARY PLANNING COMMITTEE 1 WHEREAS,the County Library Planning Committee was created with Resolution 2 27(2015) in October 2015; and 3 4 WHEREAS,the County Library Planning Committee has no pressing agenda items or 5 concernsto address; and 6 7 WHEREAS,the formation of a library planning committee is optional and not required 8 by statute; and 9 10 WHEREAS,the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors would like to streamline 11 government processes whenever possible. 12 13 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVEDby the St Croix County Board of 14 Supervisors, that the County Library Planning Committee is hereby disbanded until such time 15 that reconstitution of the committee is deemed necessary.

Two recent acts were adopted that address mental health treatment services, which are: 2023 Wisconsin Act 117: Ώ Waiver of IMD restriction (AB 616/SB 635) - Requires the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to seek a federal waiver to allow federal Medicaid reimbursement for mental health treatment services in facilities considered Institutions of Mental Disease (IMDs), such as the Winnebago Mental Health Institute. 2023 Wisconsin Act 249: Ώ Crisis urgent care and observation centers (AB 467/SB 462) - Authorize crisis urgent care and observation centers as a new type of mental health treatment facility. Allow the Department of Health Services (DHS) to promulgate an administrative rule for licensing and seek federal approval of a new Medicaid benefit to cover care at the centers. Allow DHS to request release of $10 million set aside in the 2023-35 state budget for start-up funds to create new centers. Status: SB 462 passed Senate. Assembly passed with Qbdlfu!Qh/!:6 :/4 amendment authorizing crisis hostel facilities. Senate concurred with Assembly amendment. However, there is still an immediate need to address inpatient psychiatric care in Western Wisconsin. This resolution requests Governor Evers and the Legislature to take additional action to provide funding for inpatient psychiatric care to be provided in Western Wisconsin to alleviate the numerous placements at Winnebago Mental Health Institute. Qbdlfu!Qh/!:7 :/4 Resolution No. RESOLUTION URGING LEGISLATORS TO APPROVE IMMEDIATE FUNDING FOR INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC CARE IN WESTERN WISCONSIN 1 WHEREAS, mental health conditions affect individuals of all ages, races, and 2 socioeconomic backgrounds, and the demand for mental health services continues to rise; and 3 4 WHEREAS, access to quality mental health care, including inpatient psychiatric care, is 5 crucial for individuals experiencing acute mental health crises; and 6 7 WHEREAS, Western Wisconsin faces significant challenges in providing adequate 8 mental health services, including limited availability of inpatient psychiatric beds and resources 9 since the closure of HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, Wisconsin in March 2024; and 10 11 WHEREAS, the lack of sufficient inpatient psychiatric care options in Western 12 Wisconsin results in individuals having to travel long distances to access treatment, causing 13 undue stress and barriers to care, in addition to being hours away from friends and family who 14 could be support for the individual in need; and 15 16 WHEREAS, one of the only options available to individuals in Western Wisconsin is 17 Winnebago Mental Health Institute in Oshkosh, which is approximately 260 miles from Hudson, 18 Wisconsin; and 19 20 WHEREAS, in 2022, St. Croix County spent approximately $800,000 for emergency 21 placement of adults experiencing behavioral health crises, and law enforcement spent an 22 estimated $44,000 in the same year consisting of deputy time and other transportation costs, 23 preventing those deputies from responding to other public safety needs; and 24 25 WHEREAS, in 2023, St. Croix County placed over 38 individuals, including both 26 juveniles and adults, at Winnebago Mental Health Institute, which cost the county $707,236 27 (which does not include what St. Croix County spent for emergency placements at other 28 inpatient psychiatric facilities within Wisconsin); and 29 30 WHEREAS, the time spent by local law enforcement agencies and/or contract 31 companies to transport individuals to Winnebago Mental Health Institute is a separate expense 32 incurred by the law enforcement agencies, which has increased due to the closure of HSHS 33 Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire in March 2024; and 34 35 WHEREAS, investing in inpatient psychiatric care facilities and services in Western 36 Wisconsin will improve access to timely and appropriate mental health treatment, enhance 37 community safety, and promote overall well-being to our citizens while also saving money for 38 the taxpayers of the county. 39 40 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the St. Croix County Board of 41 Supervisors urges the state government to prioritize and fast track mental health funding and Qbdlfu!Qh/!:8 :/4 42 allocate resources specifically for the expansion and enhancement of inpatient psychiatric care 43 facilities and services in Western Wisconsin. 44 45 BE ITFURTHER RESOLVEDby the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors that a 46 copy of this resolution be transmitted to Governor Tony Evers, state legislators representing 47 Western Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Counties Association (WCA), and other appropriate 48 stakeholders to inform them of the urgent need for increased funding for inpatient psychiatric 49 care in Western Wisconsin.

I want to begin by thanking the HHS and County Boards, and Administrator Witt for your continued support over this past year in our efforts to better serve the citizens of St. Croix County. As always, any credit for our Department’s work goes to our employees who are among the finest people I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. Human service work is continually shaped and influenced by dynamic social, economic, and political factors that result in an ever-changing landscape. Our teams are not just focused on the events of today but are continually looking to the future to gauge how current events may shape what comes next. This perspective allows us to address the needs of the moment while always planning for the future. With that in mind, HHS undertook a strategic planning effort in 2023 that identified five key strategic directives to guide our work. With assistance from the University of Wisconsin Extension Office, HHS developed our 2023-2026 strategic plan which outlines our priorities within specific areas of focus. In short, our strategic plan lays the groundwork to pursue a culture of innovation and change; improve workflow and efficiencies; align our budget with our vision; expand legislative advocacy efforts and; enhance our use of technology to become more proficient. Our leadership meetings are structured around these strategic directives to better organize our priorities and stay true to the strategic goals in our plan. Despite our best efforts to anticipate change, we sometimes get surprised. In 2023 we saw a significant increase in adult protection cases and children in out-of-home placement. Additionally, we saw a significant strain on our crisis service system as placement costs rose substantially while resources remained limited. Our Economic Supports division was also tasked with the “unwinding” of benefits associated with the end of the federal public health emergency, and our Aging and Disabilities Resource Center saw dramatic increases in service demands in nearly all areas.

CCS supports recovery by stabilizing and addressing mental health and substance use concerns while helping the individual learn new ways of coping that works for them. The ability to choose from a variety of flexible supports that has meaning for the individual allows them to obtain the best possible level of functioning, stability, and independence as they define it. CCS is based on a Teaming model that regularly brings together a group of people to support the individual in achieving their goals related to recovery. The Recovery Team includes the individual (and if a minor, legal decision maker), a Service Facilitator, a Mental Health Professional and/or Substance Use Professional and any other supports of the individual’s choosing. The Recovery Team helps the individual identify their preferences, strengths, needs, and priorities as part of an assessment. They partner with the individual in developing a Recovery Plan that outlines the services and supports that will help the recipient realize their goals. Regular Recovery Team meetings allows the individual and their Team to monitor progress and make changes in services and supports as needed until the individual has achieved their goals and graduates from the program. To support recovery, CCS maintains a robust provider network that includes offering (put a picture with these options rather than just a list?) various types of mental health therapy, peer/parent peer support, substance use treatment, yoga, meditation, canine therapy, employment skills, nutrition coaching, equine assisted learning, medication management, and life skill development. 25 Qbdlfu!Qh/!263 21/2/b CCS Division by the Numbers in 2023 156* 43* 52 Referrals Program Graduations Contracted Providers 143 Average Monthly Enrollment * All asterisks denote an increase for 2023 Notable Projects and Milestones Program certification changed to non-expiring due to a change in Administrative rule CCS Staff trained in Crisis DHS 34 and Columbia Suicide Scale Promoted 2 internal staff to higher level CCS positions: Lead and CCS Supervisor Joined the UW Green Bay Behavioral Health Training Partnership that provides behavioral health related training for all County employed staff Challenges & Opportunities Oversight for the Coordinated Service Teams grant will move to CCS from Children’s Services Review cross-departmental meetings for efficiencies and consistent information sharing Continual review of internal forms to minimize having multiple similar forms across divisions Buubdinfou;!Ifbmui!boe!Ivnbo!Tfswjdft!3134!Boovbm!Sfqpsu!!)21:2:!;!Boovbm!Efqbsunfou!Sfqpsu.!Ifbmui!boe!Ivnbo!Tfswjdft* 26 Qbdlfu!Qh/!264 21/2/b Adult Community Support Services (ACSS) The ACSS team is a made up of one supervisor, one clinical coordinator, two social workers, and two behavioral health technicians. Our team also collaborates regularly with St. Croix County’s Behavioral Health psychiatrist, Dr. Platz, and his Behavioral Health nurse, Kristen Eckman. The ACSS group consists of folks who support two programs: Targeted Case Management (TCM) and the Community Support Program (CSP). TCM and CSP both serve adults who live with severe and chronic mental illness in our community. Many of our clients are struggling with severe mental illness that effects their everyday lives and contributes to homelessness, physical health issues, employment difficulties, economic stress, and loneliness. Targeted Case Management (TCM): Provides short-term case management, connecting clients to resources to support them in meeting their mental health and basic needs. Staff work collaboratively with clients in accessing professional and natural supports to enhance independence and promote community integration. Community Support Program (CSP): Offers coordinated professional care and treatment in the community for adults who live with severe and chronic mental health needs. Staff focus on collaboration, hope, personal choice, and respect. CSP focuses on recovery and is specific to a client’s needs and goals to support them in living a higher quality of life. 27 Qbdlfu!Qh/!265 21/2/b TCM/CSP by the Numbers in 2023 24 27 19 TCM Clients Served CSP Clients Served On-going Monitoring of MH Commitments or Agreements The folks who do this important and difficult work support some of the most vulnerable in our community.
