Procurement is the process through which requisitions are received, solicitations issued, vendors selected, purchase orders issued, and goods and services are received. The person(s) entrusted to represent their department as buyer procures goods and services for St. Croix County (the County) by performing the following tasks: process purchase requisitions; issue purchase orders and change orders; issue and evaluate bids, proposals and quotations; review specifications; draft contracts; update assets list; manage surplus property disposition; verify license and insurance coverage as needed. Wisconsin procurement laws are longstanding and based on nationally accepted best practices. County employees are required to follow procurement rules for various reasons: Provide vigilant stewardship of taxpayer funds Comply with Wisconsin Statutes and Administrative Codes Inspire public confidence in county government by following consistent and transparent processes Avoid individual liability for illegal purchasing ! 2/3!Qvsqptf! The purpose of this policy is to provide for a fair, accountable, and transparent public procurement system in the County implemented in compliance with Federal Law, State Statute, and County Board policy, maximizing efficiency with the use of public funds and establishing a consistent public purchasing process that meets high standards of integrity. 2/4!Tdpqf! This policy applies to all county departments and all organizations for which the County is the fiscal agency and where not superseded by State or Federal law, rule or regulation, or other funding agreements or contractual provisions. ! 2/5!Bvuipsjuz The following agencies have the responsibilities assigned them under this policy in addition Buubdinfou;!Qvsdibtjoh!Qpmjdz!!)2161:!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bnfoejoh!Qvsdibtjoh!Qpmjdz* to those assigned under other policies, State and Federal laws and regulations. 4| Page Qbdlfu!Qh/!75 7/5/2/b !2/5b!Efqbsunfou!pg!Benjojtusbujpo;! Except as otherwise provided in this policy, the purchasing policy must be implemented and administered by the County Administrator or his/her designee. In so doing, the County Administrator or designee must: Oversee all solicitation specifications based on information furnished by the department for which the purchase is to be made, ensuring that the solicitation specifications fully describe the goods or services to be purchased and clearly differentiate the same from similar goods or services; Determine the form and required contents of all requests for proposal and requests for quotation; Ensure compliance with all written policies, administrative practices and procedures as adopted by the County Board; Ensure the maintenance of the fixed asset inventory; Periodically review and recommend modifications and changes to purchasing policies, administrative procedures and practices where necessary; Ensure departments have adequate funds available to undertake a requested purchase and, if not, modify or cancel the purchase to ensure budget compliance; Review and, as needed, amend the quality and quantity of goods or services requested or otherwise make substitutions; Ensure all solicitations are adequately publicized to inform responsible bidders; and Maintain oversight over department purchase requests as they relate to need, quality, price, and conformity with County standardization practices. 2/5c!Efqbsunfou!Bqqspwfs;! The Department Approver is a department head or division manager with the authority to approve budgetary expenditures. It is the responsibility of the Department Approver to: Ensure that there are funds budgeted to pay for purchases at the department level; Report to the County Administrator any purchasing deviations from budget; Ensure documentation of the receipt of all merchandise or services purchased; Approve appropriate invoices for payment; Properly record purchases made under the proper line item account code; and Designate a buyer, determine the method of purchasing that is the most appropriate, and ensure buyer compliance with responsibilities. 2/5d!!Efqbsunfou!Cvzfs;!

County employees must meet the highest standards of integrity in public procurement and failure to do so will be subject to disciplinary action. Accordingly: Some vendors provide gifts or gratuities for placing orders with them. County employees shall not solicit or accept anything of value for the performance of any services or duties. Any items received, such as gifts or gratuities, become the property of County. Purchases by the County for the personal use of an employee or official are prohibited even if reimbursement is made to the County for the cost of the purchase. County employees shall not, by act of commission or omission, in their capacities as employees of the County, exercise discretionary power in a manner inconsistent with the duties of their positions or the rights of others or with the intent to obtain dishonest advantages for themselves or for others. Specifically, if any staff member feels that there may be a possible conflict of interest or an appearance of a conflict of interest in his/her role regarding the purchase of any product or service, he/she shall bring it to the attention of the Department Approver/Corporation Counsel for review. If it is determined that a conflict of interest exists, that person shall be removed from the decision making process regarding that specific purchase. No employee may disclose confidential proprietary information from solicitations to other vendors or use that information for personal gain. Such as personal financial data submitted in support of a bid proposal. All procurement transactions shall be conducted in a manner that provides maximum open and free competition, based on merit and objectivity, and free from any influences of prejudices, personal bias, or conflicts of interest. Any purchase made by an employee or county official that is contrary to these ethical provisions must in no way obligate the County for payment. Any such purchase will be Buubdinfou;!Qvsdibtjoh!Qpmjdz!!)2161:!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bnfoejoh!Qvsdibtjoh!Qpmjdz* considered a personal liability of the involved employee or official. ! 6| Page Qbdlfu!Qh/!77 7/5/2/b Tfdujpo!3!!Dpotjefsbujpot!jo!Qvsdibtjoh! 3/2!!Fofshz!Dpotvnqujpo! The County Board of Supervisors recognizes the importance of energy conservation in cost control and in environmental protection. Accordingly, in purchasing capital equipment that has significant energy use, a department should work with the Facilities Department to request energy consumption data from all vendors in request for proposals and consider potential energy costs in determining the most advantageous bid for the County. 3/3!!Dpousbdujoh!Bvuipsjuz! Only the County Board Chair, the Highway Commissioner pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 83.015(2)(b) or the County Administrator or his/her designee can legally bind the County to any total lease valued or contract valued at or above $25,000 unless State law requires the signature of the County Treasurer or the County Clerk or any other party. ! 3/4!!Qvcmjd!Xpslt!Qspkfdut! If the estimated cost of any public works is between $5,000 and $25,000, a Class 1 Notice is required before a contract for the work is awarded or a contract is awarded with a person qualified as a bidder/proposer under Wis. Stat. § 59.52(29). Pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 59.52(29), all public works, including any contract for the construction, repair, remodeling or improvement of any public work, building, or furnishing of supplies or material of any kind where the estimated cost of such work will exceed $25,000 shall be let by contract to the lowest responsible bidder. A contract, the estimated cost of which exceeds $25,000, shall be let and entered into under Wis. Stat. § 59.52(29), except that the Board may by a three-fourths vote of all the members entitled to a seat provide that any class of public works or any part thereof may be done directly by the County without submitting the same for bids. This subsection does not apply to highway contracts which the Highway Commissioner is authorized by law to let or make. The Highway Commissioner, pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 83.001, shall: purchase and sell county road machinery as authorized in the budget; determine whether each piece of county aid construction shall be let by contract or shall be done by day labor; enter into contracts in the name of the County, and make necessary arrangements for the proper prosecution of the construction and maintenance of highways provided for by the County Board.

If funds for that purpose have not been appropriated, the procurement process may not be initiated until such time as funds are appropriated. 4/3!Qspdfevsft!gps!Dpnqfujujwf!Cje! Departments must use a bidding process in purchasing unless otherwise provided in this policy and even if not required are encouraged to do so. Awards must be made to the lowest responsible bidder. In determining the lowest bidder, the buyer may consider cost of operation over the life of the item. When comparing bids, proposals or quotes, the following elements must be considered: price, conformity with original specifications, warranty, delivery date (if specified), and freight charges. Upon reviewing the bid results, the buyer may elect to solicit additional bids.

Documentation requesting sole source purchases must include a copy of those provisions specifying this source. 4/5d!Vovtvbm!boe!dpnqfmmjoh!vshfodz; The department or agency's need for the supplies or services is of such an unusual and compelling urgency that the County would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals. Solicitation from as many potential sources as is practicable under the circumstances is required. This urgency may also extend to delays in procurement through other vendors that would be unacceptable to the County. This authority will not be approved if it is determined that the urgency is due to a lack of advance planning by the department or agency. Documentation for an emergency purchase must also include an explanation of the emergency, the financial or operational damage or risk of damage that will or may occur if needs are not satisfied immediately, why the needs were not or could not be anticipated so that goods or services could not have been purchased following standard procedures.

It should indemnify or protect the County for a certain percentage of the value of a contract in the event of default on the part of the supplier, or the supplier in performance of the work covered under the contract. The payment bond should serve as a guarantee that all suppliers and sub-suppliers are paid for labor and materials furnished to the prime supplier for use on the project and work described in the solicitation document and agreement.

For purposes of this policy, any purchase made from the State of Wisconsin cooperative purchase contract constitutes compliance with any competitive bidding requirements. Further, the State contract amount may be used Buubdinfou;!Qvsdibtjoh!Qpmjdz!!)2161:!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bnfoejoh!Qvsdibtjoh!Qpmjdz* as price comparisons for the purpose of the competitive bidding requirements for comparable items. ! 13| Page Qbdlfu!Qh/!84 7/5/2/b 5/3!Dppqfsbujwf!Qvsdibtjoh!

In addition, all such purchases must be made with full disclosure, meaning discussion at a meeting of the Administration Committee prior to the purchase. ! 5/6!Qspdvsfnfou!Dbset! Procurement cards must be issued by the Finance Director. Each card must have a dollar limit set by the Finance Director; no purchase in excess of this limit may be made without the authorization of the Finance Director. Other than as specified, use of a procurement card does not negate any other requirements of this policy. 1. P-Card purchases require the attachment of documentation to the statement prior to payment. 2. Meals covered by a per diem and paid from an expense report submission shall not be purchased on a P-Card. Putting meals on the P-Card creates a double payment of expenses. 3. Fuel covered by a mileage reimbursement and paid from an expense report submission shall not be purchased on a P-Card. Putting fuel on the P-Card creates a double payment of expenses. 4. Department Approvers are responsible for approving all P-Card purchases made by them and their department staff, confirming all purchases are made in conformance with County procurement requirements. 5.

Follow requirements under 1 (construction) or 2 (all other) below depending on applicability. 1. Sealed Bids for Construction Contracts: Note that a federally funded public works project shall follow the lower dollar threshold requirements of Wisconsin Statutes §§ 66.0901 and 59.52(29) outlined in the public works projects section above. Bids are publicly solicited and a firm fixed price contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming to all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids, is the lowest in price. In order for sealed bidding to be feasible, the following conditions should be present: (i) A complete, adequate, and realistic specification or purchase description is available; (ii) Three or more responsible bidders, unless special circumstances warrant otherwise, are willing and able to compete effectively for the business; and (iii) The procurement lends itself to a firm fixed price contract and the selection of the successful bidder can be made principally on the basis of price. If sealed bids are used, the following requirements apply: (i) Bids must be solicited from an adequate number of known suppliers, providing them sufficient response time prior to the date set for opening the bids. For state, local, and tribal governments, the invitation for bids must be publicly advertised; (ii) The invitation for bids, which will include any specifications and pertinent attachments, must define the items or services in order for the bidder to properly respond; (iii) All bids will be opened at the time and place prescribed in the invitation for bids, and for local and tribal governments, the bids must be opened publicly; (iv) A firm fixed price contract award will be made in writing to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Where specified in bidding documents, factors such as discounts, transportation cost, and life cycle costs must be considered in determining which bid is lowest. Payment discounts will only be used to determine the low bid when prior experience indicates that such discounts are usually taken advantage of; and (v) Any or all bids may be rejected if there is a sound documented reason. 2.

It is generally used when conditions 16| Page Qbdlfu!Qh/!87 7/5/2/b are not appropriate for the use of sealed bids. If this method is used, the following requirements apply: (i) Requests for proposals must be publicized and identify all evaluation factors and their relative importance. Any response to publicized requests for proposals must be considered to the maximum extent practical; (ii) Proposals must be solicited from an adequate number of qualified sources; (iii) The non-Federal entity must have a written method for conducting technical evaluations of the proposals received and for selecting recipients; (iv) Contracts must be awarded to the responsible firm whose proposal is most advantageous to the program, with price and other factors considered; and (v) The non-Federal entity may use competitive proposal procedures for qualifications-based procurement of architectural/engineering (A/E) professional services whereby competitors' qualifications are evaluated and the most qualified competitor is selected, subject to negotiation of fair and reasonable compensation. The method, where price is not used as a selection factor, can only be used in procurement of A/E professional services. It cannot be used to purchase other types of services though A/E firms are a potential source to perform the proposed effort.! 3. Noncompetitive Proposals:! Procurement by noncompetitive proposals is procurement through solicitation of a proposal from only one source and may be used only when one or more of the following circumstances apply:! (i) The item is available only from a single source; (ii) The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation; (iii) The Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity expressly authorizes noncompetitive proposals in response to a written request from the non-Federal entity; or (iv) After solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate. 6/3!Tvtqfotjpo!boe!Efcbsnfou!Wfsjgjdbujpo!Qspdfevsf; Formatted: Font: Bold The County will not award any federally funded contracts to a third party vendor or Formatted: No underline Buubdinfou;!Qvsdibtjoh!Qpmjdz!!)2161:!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bnfoejoh!Qvsdibtjoh!Qpmjdz* debarred parties (as published on https://sam.gov/).

This historic rate was accomplished through new residential, commercial, and industrial growth, along with appreciating property values and conservative spending patterns. Another accomplishment of this budget is a significant step forward in addressing the most pressing service needs in the County. While the Public Safety Referendum in 2023 failed to pass, we were able to address some of our biggest needs in public protection, with the assistance of additional shared revenues from the State. St. Croix County continues to lead growth in the state of Wisconsin with Net New Construction up rd highest in the State. Estimates show our population increased to 97,347 residents, making 2.73%, the 3 th our County one of the fastest growing counties in the state of Wisconsin. St. Croix County has the 8 lowest levy rate in the State and our rate continues to decrease. The 2024 County Administrator’s Recommended Budget focuses on priorities established by the County Board, addressing the top 10 of the 16 established priorities. 14 of the 24 positions requested were incorporated into the 2024 budget, without creating any structural deficits. The employee compensation package included a 1% increase in health insurance premiums, a step increase, and a 1% cost of living adjustment (COLA). Revenue increases included a tax levy increase of $920,648, additional state shared revenues of $753,487, increased sales tax projections of $1,100,000, and increased interest earning projections of $450,000. Part of the County’s financial philosophy includes budgeting below State sales tax estimates to recession proof our budget and allow for fund balance accumulation to help with the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The County’s Aa1 bond rating and strong fund balance are a confirmation of the County’s excellent financial health and wise financial policy decisions. We have made great progress on capital projects over the past few years, positioning the infrastructure of the County to best serve the needs of the public for decades to come. We have prepared a viable plan for continuing to maintain and expand our infrastructure with the current five-year CIP, with the goal of avoiding the use of debt for all but the larger building projects. While the debt levy increased last year with the $80 million government center expansion, the amount has peaked and will start to decrease in a couple of years. We are using a small amount of fund balance to further reduce debt service and provide some taxpayer relief. Operating levies are growing below the inflation rate. Buubdinfou;!Cvehfu!Cppl!3135!DPUX!Sfdpnnfoefe!\\Sfwjtjpo!2^!!)21619!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bepqujoh!3135!Cvehfu!boe!Ftubcmjtijoh!Uby!Mfwz* 5 Qbdlfu!Qh/!:9 :/2/b 1.Levy a.The proposed 2024 property tax levy is $45,100,429. A 3.24% increase from the 2023 property tax levy. Increase in Property Tax Levy County Operating Levy Increase $920,648 Debt Service Levy Decrease -128,078 Special Purpose Levy Increase 624,585 Total $1,417,155 b.The special purpose levy increase may look misleading without the backstory. The Hudson Joint Library, with four member communities, became a city of Hudson only library. The additional special purpose levy is a shift of the three exiting members from levying directly for library support. This shift results in the County levying for them in support of the library based on rural circulation numbers. The special purpose levy only applies to municipalities that do not have a library (mostly towns). The special purpose levy rate is down with the addition of the three new members’ tax base in the denominator of that formula, dropping from .0002427 to .0002044. c.A Net New Construction of 2.73% plus two Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) closures resulted in an increase in operating levy capacity of $920,648. TIF’s in New Richmond and Hammond closed, adding base value increments of $27 million and $17 million respectively. d.Equalized value increased 12.68% to a value of $15,960,844,400. e.The 2024 County Administrator recommended mill rate of $2.83 is a reduction of 8.37% from the 2023 mill rate of $3.08. This marks our lowest recorded mill rate in the last 50 years. Previously the lowest recorded rate was $3.02 in 2007. 2.Fund Balance a.The General Fund unassigned fund balance at the end of 2022 (before the transfer resolution) remains above policy minimums at 41.9% or $18,257,921. County policy calls for a fund balance of 35%, plus or minus 3%. The best use of the excess fund balance is for CIP projects. Using cash instead of debt is part of the methodology we use to reduce the number of debt issuances and a contributing factor of why our tax rate is lower than our peers. b.Historically conservative estimates of sales tax revenue have helped contribute to increases in the unassigned fund balance. In 2024, sales tax is budgeted at $11,600,000 compared to $10,500,000 in 2023. We are below the State projections. We continue to collect more sales tax than budgeted, which helps contribute to the unassigned fund balance. This conservative approach also helps us avoid having to make budget cuts in years with economic downturns in retail sales. The positive variance in the budget as compared to State estimates is an important planned component of the budget that provides financial stability for the County.

Fund Cost Center Reason Balance $67,000 Land & Water Conservation Draw down of fund balance $67,999Land Information ProgramDraw down of fund balance $3,665,000 Capital Projects Use of fund balance for projects Projected budget increase of fund $(306,494) Health Center Campus balance (operating profit) $400,000 Debt Service Fund Used to reduce tax levy 3.Self-Funded Health Insurance Account a.Costs in the health insurance market continue to increase faster than our ability to pay. For several years we had shifted costs onto the employees to reduce the fiscal impact to the County. Recently we have been working on creating new employee programs and incentives to help guide employees to wise health insurance choices. These programs are starting to help and we are only projecting a 1% increase in health insurance premiums, in large part to a positive experience rating. b.For 2024 we are adding a second health insurance option with a high deductible health savings account (HSA) plan. The dual option will allow the employees to choose between the HSA or our traditional plan design. c.Self-funded plans experience ups and downs based on actual usage. In 2021 our cash reserves declined by $1,344,032 to $2,356,848. For 2022 the fund balance bounced back, increasing $883,585 to $3,240,433. 4.Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) a.The County Board approved the first five-year CIP in May 2014. The plan is reviewed and updated each year. The CIP was updated this year for the 2024 – 2028 period. b.The funding for the 2024 CIP is projected to come from the fund balance and will not require any borrowing. Buubdinfou;!Cvehfu!Cppl!3135!DPUX!Sfdpnnfoefe!\\Sfwjtjpo!2^!!)21619!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bepqujoh!3135!Cvehfu!boe!Ftubcmjtijoh!Uby!Mfwz* 7 Qbdlfu!Qh/!211 :/2/b 5.Compensation a.During 2016, the County implemented the Unified Compensation Plan recommended by McGrath Human Resources Group. All employees were placed on the grid at a new grade and step that did not result in a pay decrease. In 2019 McGrath updated the plan. We are completing a re-evaluation of the grid. Because the information was too late to incorporate into the 2024 budget, we will present the findings as a separate item in early 2024. The re- evaluation will address any positions that should be moved on the grid and adjust the grid for market conditions. b.A 1% COLA is built into the proposed 2024 wage grid. A step increase is budgeted for all th employees. This is the 8 consecutive year with a step increase. Inflation has come down to the 3.7% over the past twelve months. 6.Position Changes a.24 new positions were requested for 2024 at a cost of $2,235,637. b.18 positions are included in the 2024 budget at a cost of $1,932,637. c.Public Protection and Children Services were the two largest areas of increase as we look to fill the greatest service needs of the County. The Finance Director and I would like to thank all the staff that have put in significant staff resources and work to prepare this budget. There were many meetings with department heads, their support staff, elected officials, and the public. Everyone was very cooperative to help bring a balanced budget forward for consideration. The process began in March and will finish in November with the adoption of the County Board of Supervisors budget resolution. The County Board Supervisors’ commitment of time and attention are appreciated by staff. We respect the role of the County Board in setting priorities for the limited public resources we have available. Thank you to all who participated in the 2024 budget process. Excellent job!

In 20234, Justice Services looks to continue building a civilian-run model for pretrial services with industry best practices in mind. Much of this work involves using an evidence-based assessment tool to identify appropriate conditions for pretrial release. As part of this best practices operating standards for pretrial services, Justice Services continues to work with the Center for Effective Public Policy (CEPP)/Advancing Pretrial Policies and Research (APPR) as a learning site and receive technical assistance from their staff. This designation continues to provide Justice Services with technical and implementation assistance until the middle of 2023. Starting in January 2023, Justice Services took over the facilitation of Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), which is a cognitive-behavioral program offered to justice-involved persons and has been running consistent groups since that time. Justice Services continues to collaborate with other county government departments. In July 2023, Justice Services helped write a grant which was awarded in the amount of $243,000.00 through the Wisconsin Dept. of Health Services (DHS) to continue offering medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals in jail suffering from substance use disorder. In February 2023, Justice Services cowrote an article with the Child Support Division on the need for continued investment in child support, which was published in the Wisconsin Counties Association magazine. Justice Services also houses the Adult Treatment (drug) Court for the county. As part of Treatment Court, an annual request for Treatment Alternatives & Diversion (TAD) funding is prepared. For FY 2022, a competitive grant proposal was put together and awarded to the county. This began a five-year non- competetive grant cycle where funding will be requested each year. For FY 2024, again, a pre- application phase was added by the WI Dept. of Justice and was due in August 2023. This has been completed and we are asking for the same amount of support as in 2022 ($179,000.00). Starting in August 2023, Justice Services began a partnership with UniverCity Year through UW-Madison where graduate students from the university are placed with communities to work on collaborative projects. 2024 Budget Changes As Justice Support Services continues to rebrand itself from the law enforcement (SheriffÔs Department) to the civilian-run model, the budget has become clearer and in line with industry best (evidence-based) practices. Budget Highlights Supporting Strategic Plan Justice Support Services continues to collaborate with various departments to meet the public safety, accountability, and change needs of justice-involved persons in the county. Our department operates not only with county funding but also grants and other partnerships with outside agencies. The services we offer are grounded in evidence-based and best practice standards.

Throughout this year, we continued to incorporate proper evidence-based practices including incentives and sanctions for behavior. Collaborated with staff in the Justice Services Center to establish procedures for managing testing violations. Continued modification and examination of Victim/Witness policies and procedures as it relates to Marsy’s Law, a constitutional amendment passed in May 2020. 2024 Budget Changes Increase in fees for expert witnesses from $2,000 to $15,000 due to the number of pending homicide cases and other case types set for jury trial in 2024 requiring expert witness testimony. Eliminated $35,000 in legal services for a part-time CHIPS prosecutor. Effective January 1, 2024 this case type is going to be handled by Corp Counsel to lessen the caseload for the Department. Addition of a 1.0 FTE Legal Assistant position and 1.0 FTE Diversion Program Case Management Specialist. While it is understood that these positions are at #14 and #15 on the list of budget priorities for 2024, these positions are significantly needed in our department. The last Legal Assistant position was added in 2004. The increase in the number of cases referred to our office, the passage of Marsy’s Law and the growing use of digital evidence (e.g. body camera, video surveillance, cellphones, etc.) are the driving factors behind this request. This increase in workload of both our professional and administrative staff is creating delays entering referrals, filing complaints and producing discovery. The Diversion Program has grown significantly over the past 10 years. The Diversion Program has 2.5 employees with the last new position (.50) added in 2014. Caseloads for Diversion Program staff are higher than that of Probation. Stringent requirements of participants in the program has also lead to significant time spent with participants.

(Below $3.50 projected rate is good, at $3.11 is great with a flat tax rate, below $3.02 is exceptional and breaks our record low). Accomplished: 2023 Budget was created with a tax levy rate of $3.08. The County Board adopted the St. Croix Tax Levy on November 1, 2022. Work Plan Item 2 Communication: Create budget outreach plan to share the good work the County does. Accomplished: Additional website enhancements around the budget were created and an annual report was created. The County website was enhanced with additional data related to the budget County Administrator | St. Croix County, WI (sccwi.gov). An annual report was created with a direct mailer to all households notifying them of the annual report, sent on a postcard in tandem with the referendum information. The annual report lives on the County website https://www.sccwi.gov/DocumentCenter/View/8220/St-Croix-County-Annual-Report-2022 and provides additional information about the good work the County does. Work Plan Item 3 Service Review: Complete the mandated services review and recommend policy changes to items highlighted by the standing committees. Accomplished: Service reviews completed. All department heads were instructed to provide mandated service reviews at their standing committees. Those reviews were spread out over several months of meetings. Very little policy change came from the reviews, but it was very helpful in sharing the work the County is mandated to perform and the limited flexibility we have in performing the mission of the County. Work Plan Item 4 Facilities: Keep the Government Center building project on time and on budget. (2-year goal). In Progress: So far so good. The project is on time for completion in 2025. First big move scheduled for July 2024. Project has $3.9 million in contingency funding currently available. Work Plan Item 5 Employees: Create an enhanced onboarding plan for new employees. Accomplished: New monthly onboarding program has been implemented as of July 2023. The previous onboard system was half a day of information on the employees first day. We have enhanced that process by adding a half day once per month to expand upon the resources employees need to be aware of to succeed at their jobs. The County Administrator starts off each monthly onboarding session with a discussion on the role of County government and the values of the organization.

Provide highway/bridge maintenance and construction including storing, preparing, and providing winter maintenance services for local units of government. 2024 Budget Changes Budget levy increase accounts for approximately 40% of the additional costs associated with the proposed benefit changes/costs and labor increase for 2024. Operating budget was held static for 2024. Inflationary costs are reducing the amount of maintenance that can be completed as increases in machinery and materials have been noted. 2024 will be the first year in the 2024-2025 LRI-P (Local Road Improvement Program Ï WisDOT). Revenue streams assumed to be relatively static. We have seen a decrease in our GTA funds slightly from 2021-2023. Inflation management continues to be a challenge. Construction materials cost increases have reduced the amount of work that can be completed. Employee turnover has created training and staffing challenges. 2022-2023 has seen 16 employees separate employment in a non-retirement status. Budget Highlights Supporting Strategic Plan Material/Equipment inflation. Trends Ï We are watching negative highway surface trends and looking for opportunities for extending the useful life of highways throughout the county. Equipment purchases Ï Equipment purchases have been difficult in both cost and lead times. This has caused department challenges in keeping equipment operational. We have been unable to purchase equipment in some cases and have seen lead times over 18-months. Federal/State Funding Ï Highway continues to aggressively pursue all outside funding opportunities for infrastructure improvements. Local Road Safety Program Ï We will beginning work on the Safe Roads and Highways for All grant which will include completing a local road safety plan. Five Year Plan Development Ï We continue to develop capital improvement plans to look for potential cost savings and proper management of the system. Growth Ï Property development and traffic growth are expected to continue and causes areas of traffic congestion. We will examine those intersections and look to maximize highway life cycles. Traffic Capacity issues are anticipated and further highway expansion will be necessary to safely support growth in certain areas (i.e. CTH A in New Richmond).

Foster parent recruitment eventwasheld in March 2023 in partnership with United Way of St. Croix Valley. Received a multi-county grant awardto identify foster homes for children with complex needs in St. Croix, Barron, Polk and Pierce counties. Recovering Together CafÔsoffered at the Services Center in partnership with Family Resource Center of St. Croix Valley, providing support for parents of young children with an interestinrecoveryfrom substance use and other conditions. Children Services is participating in a Judicial Engagement Team(JET)with legal partnersin St. Croix County which helps identify best practices when the law directly impacts a child or a family. Nation-wide, there continues to be a movement towardevidenced based practices, not only as theypertain to Child Welfare, but alsoforthose involved with theYouth Justice system. TheJETteam has identified areas in which our system can improve to help reduce the number of children in out-of-home care, increase legal representation for families, and have timely outcomes for the families we serve (this includes permanence for those children in out of home care).

It is too early to make predictions of overall impact resulting from increased caseloads and recipient numbers. Comprehensive Community Services (CCS): CCS has maintained enrollment over the last year. There has been an increase in adult referrals from previous years while referrals of children remained steady. Focus continues on outreach to raise community awareness of CCS services for youth and adults. Maintaining a robust variety of contracted providers that can provide psychosocial rehabilitation services has been a focus over the past year to effectively meet recipients needs. CCS added 11 new providers thus far in 2023. Behavioral Health: Outpatient Mental Health therapy appointment wait times continue to be greater than past years. The Division continues to work to improve service coordination and arrangements for access to other community-based therapy options. While there continues to be a shortage of available inpatient hospitalization beds, regional psychiatric hospitalization beds at Amery Behavioral Health and Eau Claire Sacared Heart Hospital have been more available than in the past allowing for additional options and somewhat reducing the burden on law enforcement for transportation. Positions funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) have assisted in providing early interventions services that help coordinate care and better address social determinants of health, such as housing needs, access to health care, employment assistance and social connectedness. Records: Continuing work to improve HHS onboarding & training. In process of adding DepartmentÔs Operational Policies & Procedures manual to our Loop system for consistent tracking of all HHS staff and assigned trainings. Continued work with Netsmart to improve the operability of our Electronic Health Record system. Monitoring quality improvement measures to ensure timely completion of documentation, aligning with HHS strategic directive of Ñanalyzing workflow to improve service deliveryÒ ADRC: Social isolation and loneliness continues to be a focus of statewide initiatives, therefore, emphasis on congregate dining and social activities remain priorities in the aging side of the ADRC. Congregate dining participant numbers continue to increase post-pandemic while home-delivered meal counts are decreasing as criteria has returned to pre-pandemic guidelines. Ultimately, total meal counts are projected to stabilize in 2023. Catered meal costs have increased while staff expenses and unprepared food costs have decreased due to closure of another cooking kitchen (Deer Park) in 2022. The ADRC continues to provide transportation to Nutrition Sites and community appointments for consumers while the price of fuel has increased from previous years. Caregiver Support and Dementia Care services continue to see an increase in activity and demand. The ADRC has been selected as a partner with DHS to faciliate the Independent Living Skills Pilot Project which is now scheduled to commence in September of 2023. This grant has provided $70,459 in administrative funding to the ADRC to support a part-time Social Worker II to coordinate the program. Referrals to the ADRC Information and Assistance/ADRC Specialists continue to increase in volume and acuity and, therefore, this grant is anticipated to help bridge services for individuals who would otherwise not meet publicly-funded, long-term care programming. The aging population continues to increase with significant demand for placement Buubdinfou;!Cvehfu!Cppl!3135!DPUX!Sfdpnnfoefe!\\Sfwjtjpo!2^!!)21619!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bepqujoh!3135!Cvehfu!boe!Ftubcmjtijoh!Uby!Mfwz* 190190 Qbdlfu!Qh/!394 :/2/b opportunities that only continue to diminish due to workforce and funding challenges. Additionally, there are increasing demands being placed on Elder and Disability Benefit Specialists, resulting from an aging population and the ÑunwindingÒ of benefits associated with end of the Public Health Emergency. Public Health: Public health continues to utilize COVID-19 funding through 2024, specifically a public health workforce grant and funding through Public Health ARPA . Pre-COVID programming has returned to near full capacity and Medical Assistance revenues will continue to grow in 2024. In 2022 the State Department of Health Services-Division of Public Health applied for funding from the CDC titled Strengthening U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce and Data Systems (PHI). This funding will span five years and St. Croix county should receive it before the end of 2023. Healthier Together, a partnership with Pierce County, continues to work implementing our community health improvement plan also known as a CHIP. The current health priorities are: mental , social and emotional wellness and promoting thriving, livable communities for all. 2023 Budget Changes Continue to experience increased demands related to child out-of-home placements, Adult Protection referrals, and placements in Institutions for Mental Disease (IMDs). IMD facilities are not eligible for Medicaid reimbursement and often not covered by private insurance. All of these services are mandated, difficult to forecast, and of primary concern with respect to budget impact 2023 state biennial budget provided a minimal increase to ADRC base-funding ($5 million state- wide in each year of the biennium). County allocations currently unknown. Growing aging population will continue to strain ADRC resources state-wide State budget provided a very small increase to counties for Adult Protective Services ($1 million, state-wide). County allocations currently unknown Increase in referrals for behavioral health care leading to extended waitlists. County-operated and provider resources are strained as demand exceeds capacity. Workforce challenges, primarily in the area of substance use services continue and negatively impact revenue The state budget includes a 2% increase for income maintenance (IM) administration and additional fraud funding. Until we receive additional information we will budget current numbers for 2024. HHS will request clarification from DHS on how fraud funding can be used and how it may affect overall administration budget. We may realize a slight reduction in tax levy for IM The Great Rivers Consortium (GRC) has made changes to the structure of the Child Care Team that will impact claims for most or all counties in the consortium. Depending on how other counties are claiming funding there may not be Ñleftover/unspentÒ funding from our partners to de-obligate/re- obligate and make SCC whole as in past years. While currently unknown, HHS may realize a slight increase in tax levy related to Child Care Workforce challenges continue to migrate between divisions and specific position titles. Current challenges involve recruitment/retention in areas of nursing, substance use, crisis, and Children Buubdinfou;!Cvehfu!Cppl!3135!DPUX!Sfdpnnfoefe!\\Sfwjtjpo!2^!!)21619!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bepqujoh!3135!Cvehfu!boe!Ftubcmjtijoh!Uby!Mfwz* 191191 Qbdlfu!Qh/!395 :/2/b Services. Workforce issues involving extended vacancies, utilization of temporary agency staff, and retention have a negative budget impact In 2023, 1 vacant FTE in substance use services was re-assigned to Adult Protective Services in response to increasing demands. Additionally, a ÑLead Social WorkerÒ position was created in APS to assist in managing cases. This will result in slightly lower revenue through substance use services, but prevents budgeting an additional FTE in Adult Protective Services Budget Highlights Supporting County Strategic Plan HHS Strategic Plan: Completed HHS strategic planning process with facilitation by the UW Extension Office and established 5 strategic directives to guide the HHS Department for the next several years. HHS plan is based on county strategic plan goals established in 2022. HHS strategic directives are: 1.Pursue a culture of change and innovation 2.Analyze workflow to improve service delivery 3.Align budget priorities with vision 4.Explore and expand legislative advocacy 5.Enhance technology proficiency American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Initiatives: In 2021, the St. Croix County Board allocated funding through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for HHS to develop new, innovative early intervention initiatives targeting underserved populations within our county. HHS partnered with Justice Support Services, the SheriffÔs Office, law enforcement agencies (throughout the county), and community providers. All initiatives have been implemented with the broad goal of reducing high cost crisis events/placements Opioid Settlement: Funding received in 2022 to support 1 FTE mental health professional embedded within the county jail. Proposing a portion of 2023 settlement funds be allocated to support 1 FTE substance use professional, embedded within Child Protective Services, to provide family-based care addressing substance use and related trauma. These efforts are intended to address needs of families impacted by addiction and assist in maintaining family unity while reducing out-of-home placements Retention and Recruitment: Tele-work/health and flexible work environments were implemented and continue in response to workforce challenges that began during the pandemic. Public Health grant funding utilized to strengthen Public Health workforce, allowing for addition of a Public Health Educator. HHS continues to partner with Human Resources to find creative solutions for improving recruitment and retention in all areas of HHS Business Practices: Intentional focus to align HHS budget priorities with vision to improve efficiencies and reduce costs in line with new strategic plan. Applied ARPA/COVID-19 funding to expand upstream intervention services to underserved residents. Continued focus on reducing purchased service costs in shift to upstream, preventive care.

Back Indexed 40,115 documents so all electronic documents have indexing by names and tract completed to 2/7/1963 with name only indexing from 2/7/1963 to 1848. Increased the number of documents recorded electronically from 79% to 84.5%. Performed title searches for properties with delinquent taxes to assist county with InRem Tax Foreclosures. 2024 Budget Changes Revenue expectations are being decreased significantly. One reason is high interest rates and low number of real estate recordings being experienced in 2023. This correlates with the higher federal reserve rates and high cost of overall living making it difficult for individuals to be able to afford buying a home. Another cause is with less land transfers there are less business partners that are searching and fewer paid searches for information. Decreased office supplies. Number of vital records being issued by our office has continued to increase in 2023 so the increased cost of issuing vital records is offset by the decrease in the cost of recording and processing real estate recordings. Slight change in costs associated with conferences and staff development-The WRDA has left the WCCO association and joined the WCA Legislative conference so one less conference to be attended. The change is not significant because overall conference perdiemÔs continue to increase. Software subscriptions are decreasing because there are fewer paid search subscriptions for real estate. Budget Highlights Supporting Strategic Plan Continued value is being placed on staff development to support the goal of ensuring staff are continually trained to keep up with the evolution of technology and to encourage job satisfaction and employee retention. Utilizing remote access and electronic recording as often as possible to decrease certain supplies, postage & staff time. This allows staff to focus energies on improving information available to the public using the internet The software programs of AVID and LAREDO are from Fidlar Technologies. This company is very advanced in their efforts to protect our data from illegal access and they even provide a program (Property Fraud Alert) to help homeowners in our county with protecting their property interests. Continued efforts to digitized and make information available on the internet creates the ability for convenient access to companies needing access to real estate records and keeps county workers and our customers safe, but working, during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Staff continue to plan for only one collection event in 2023 and 2024. Collection is with the local vendor which reduces mobilization costs and has allowed this budget to decrease. Will also continue to charge participants for disposal of paints, stains & varnishes to cover a portion of disposalcosts. Land Information revenues are down and related costs have been reduced. Park attendance has continuedto be strong in 2022 and is expected to increase along with camping due to the new group sites in 2023. Increased revenues will offset increased park operating expenses including electrical, solid waste,porta potty pumping,maintenance, supplies and fuel. Land & Water budget is down due to decreased revenues for practices. Aquatic invasive species education efforts have been added and are covered by a $10,000 grant. Water quality funding is down and the budget adjusted to match funding available. Recycling budget is down due to no longer acting as a pass-through for tire collections. Sale of compost bins and compost pails continue to be strong, these funds are used for educational materials.

To accomplish this goal, CDD staff have worked on emergency service area (fire, ambulance, law enforcement) and address data clean-up for several years with the final push taking place in 2022 and early 2023. Addresses county-wide (city, village, town) and 911 GIS data layers were standardized to meet the required 98% accuracy level. A major step up from E911, NG911 allows 911 calls from virtually anywhere to be physically located precisely by GPS and cell phone technology. CDD’s newly hired GIS Analyst was able to accomplish the 98% accuracy objective and meet the clean- up deadline with minimal outside assistance. The Department does not assign addresses for the cities and villages within the county, but we consult with them, and we maintain all the GIS address information for the entire county, which consists of over 41,000 total address points that are used in the County’s 911 emergency dispatching system. CDD has contracted to purchase GeoPermits, cloud-based software to improve management and tracking of Land Use applications and permitting and provide online public access to status of applications in the review and permitting process. The program should be fully usable early 2024. Updating the County Comprehensive Plan, conducted a statistically valid public opinion survey through the UW-River Falls Survey Research Center and conducted a similar online survey to broaden public access. Final survey results are available on the CDD project webpage https://www.sccwi.gov/369/Comprehensive-Plan In 2022, CDD contracted for professional stormwater and erosion control review for land divisions, shoreland, riverway and floodplain conditional uses and remediation of violations. Also contracted for additional soil test and sanitary system applicaton review to get caught up and provide better timely service. 2022 County parks attendance was up by approximately 6,000 visitors with 5,510 annual passes and 6,905 daily passes sold. This is a record number of annual passes. Parks fees and rents for the 3rd year in a row were over $400,000. The 2022 revenue was $408,974, down about $6,700 from an all-time high of $415,645 in 2021. The reduced revenue is not unexpected as 17 Glen Hills camping sites were closed because of the new campground construction and the second camper cabin did not become available for rental until July. Thefts of park fees from self-pay stations and theft of the stations also impacted 2022 income. New in 2023, QR Code signs, Mobile Pay, at County parks make it possible for visitors to pay for passes online.

The 2024 request reflects a 1.73 percent increase from St. Croix County’s 2023 membership support of $115,500 noting the county’s membership has been at the $115,500 level from 2020-2023, inclusive. The county’s membership will support the EDC’s proposed 2024 budget of $232,475 as outlined in the attached documents relating to income and expenses. Other EDC income is attributable to private sector memberships, newsletter/event sponsorships, program administration, interest income, and membership from towns-villages-cities. The county’s portion of the EDC’s 2024 budget is 50.5 percent, which falls under the target of a 60/40 split first implemented in 2012. Lastly, the EDC board will consider a one-time financial ask of St. Croix County at its meeting on September 12. As currently envisioned, the EDC will take the financial lead in business recruitment initiatives into Minnesota, along the lines of recruitment trips led by the former Forward Wisconsin organization.

CROIX COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES. COVER MEMO TO: County Board of Supervisors FROM: Ken Witt, County Administrator Jason Kjeseth, Community Development Director DATE: November 7, 2023 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance Amending Chapter 13.10.B - Road Setback Reduction within the Land Division Chapter of the St. Croix County Code of Ordinances. ______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND INFORMATION St. Croix County is proposing an amendment to St. Croix County Chapter 13 - Land Division. Land divisions that were processed under the Land Division ordinance prior to 2006 were required to have a 100-foot structure setback line from the road right-of-way drawn on the approved map of record - either a final plat or a CSM (Certified Survey Map). After 2006, the Land Division ordinance no longer required the setback line to be placed on a plat or CSM. The zoning ordinance was amended to require a 50-foot setback from a road right-of-way. This created a conflict between the amended structure setback of 50 feet allowed by the revised ordinance and the previously recorded plats and CSMs that had the 100-foot structure setback line drawn on them. A property owner can submit a road setback reduction request with the Community Development Department to reduce the 100-setback requirement. Currently, a public hearing is required to be held by the Community Development Committee (CDC). The revised ordinance would address any setback reduction requests to be completed through an administrative approval/denial process through the Zoning Administrator within the Community Development Department. A Class II notice was published in the Star Observer on October 5, 2023 and October 12, 2023, establishing a public hearing on October 19, 2023 at 5:00 PM with the St. Croix County Community Development Committee (CDC) in the St. Croix County Government Center Board Room, 1101 Carmichael Road, Hudson, Wisconsin. Qbdlfu!Qh/!4:2 :/4 Prior to the public hearing, staff has conducted the following outreach with respect to the proposed ordinance amendment: 1. On August 21, 2023, CDD (Community Development Department) staff sent an email to all of the towns in St. Croix County with background information and the proposed draft changes relating to road setback reduction processes in Chapter 13 - Land Division. The email also directed towns to contact CDD staff with comments and/or questions. 2. On September 25, 2023, CDD staff sent an email to towns with the public hearing notice and draft ordinance information relating to Chapter 13 - Land Division. 3. On September 25, 2023, CDD staff mailed notice of the public hearing to towns in St. Croix County. As of October 12, 2023, CDD staff had not received any comments on the proposed amendment language.

Maintaining and rebuilding highway infrastructure and bridges, and maintaining the quality of Wisconsin's roadways are vital to the state, counties and all municipalities to support commerce, tourism and safe transportation of people, goods, and services. Wis. Stat. § 341.35 gives authority to counties to enact an ordinance imposing an annual flat registration fee on all motor vehicles registered in the county. On August 21, 2007, the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors enacted Ordinance No. 760 (2007) creating Chapter 77 - Annual County Vehicle Registration Fee of the St. Croix County Code of Ordinances with an effective date of January 1, 2008. At the October 12, 2023 Committee of the Whole meeting, a request was made for the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors to increase the annual County Vehicle Registration Fee from $10 to $20. The revenues generated are an integral part of the St. Croix County Highway Department's business plan that assists the County in highway maintenance efforts on County highways along with various associated facilities and infrastructure.

Issues, Concerns and Restraints opportunity to not have a criminal conviction or charges being amended to a lessor offense. Significant supervision is required of the participants in the program to ensure compliance. This is due to stringent conditions added to the agreements. The Diversion Program operates with 2.5 staff. With caseloads continuing to grow, a request for additional Diversion Program staff is warranted. The caseload continues to increase due to the population growth in St. Croix County and the continuing meth/heroin crisis continues to put additional pressure on CHIPS caseload and felony caseload. We currently have six pending homicide cases. The migration of CHIPS cases to Corp Counsel beginning in November 2023 comes at a pivotal time. This will help the prosecutors to be able to devote more time on the pending homicide cases and other felony cases. Staying current with technology. Our office receives digital media in a lot of different formats from law enforcement sometimes causing issues for our office and defense counsel when trying to play the media. Staffing levels of our Legal Assistants as our caseload continues to grow and quicker deadlines with which documents need to be filed with the court and produced for discovery. Goals and Objectives 2024 Establish a secure, CJIS-compliant solution for the sharing of digital evidence between law enforcement, our office and defense. Submit a successful yearly renewal for the Treatment Alternatives and Diversion Program (TAD) 2024 grant application. Get a therapy dog, either in DA office or SCSO, to provide comfort and emotional support to victims, especially child victims, during trial preparation/testimony.
