DATE: August 2, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Town of St. Joseph Rezoning 5.88 Acres from the Rural Mixed Use Zoning
District to the Traditional Commercial Zoning District
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Wis. Stat. § 60.62(3) requires that counties review and approve all amendments to town zoning ordinance
text and maps prior to the amendment taking effect. The Town of St. Joseph, which has a town zoning
ordinance, has approved a map amendment that requires County Board approval.
In summary, the proposed rezoning of property is for 5.88 acres located in Houlton - see location map.
The zoning would change from the Rural Mixed Use Zoning District to the Traditional Commercial
Zoning District on the Town of St. Joseph Zoning Map.
Community Development Department staff have reviewed the information provided by the Town of St.
Joseph regarding the rezoning of the land and the process and procedures for town review and adoption
and recommend approval of the resolution to approve the rezoning.
The Town Board approved the rezoning on March 10, 2022.

STANTON FARMLAND HERITAGE PRESERVATION AG ENTERPRISE
AREA PETITION
COVER MEMO
TO: County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ken Witt, County Administrator
Ellen Denzer, Director, Community Development
DATE: August 2, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Stanton Farmland Heritage Preservation Ag Enterprise Area Petition
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Stanton Farmland Heritage Preservation Ag Enterprise Area Petition
Farmers in the Towns of Stanton, Star Prairie, and Cylon have been meeting over the past year
preparing an application for submittal to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and
Consumer Protection (DATCP) to establish an Ag Enterprise Area in accordance with the Ag
Enterprise Area (AEA) and Farmland Preservation program requirements.
An AEA is a designation that can be applied for by local landowners that if approved, will
provide the option for landowners to sign farmland preservation agreements keeping the land
in agriculture while also requiring compliance with Administrative Codes NR151 and ATCP 590
practices. AEA and farmland preservation enrollment also grants the landowners eligibility for
state tax credits. Please see attached DATCP handout describing the AEA program and its
requirements. As required, the proposed Stanton Farmland Heritage Preservation AEA complies
with the AEA requirements: it is contiguous, has over 5 eligible landowners in support, and is
consistent with the County Farmland Preservation Plan standards and the three towns'
comprehensive plans.
The final requirement in the AEA petition application process is signed petitions of support by :
landowners in the proposed AEA, non-petitioning cooperators i.e., businesses that may benefit
from farmland preservation but will not be able to collect any tax credit, the County
Conservationist and local political subdivisions including the involved Towns and the County.
The final signature to be collected is St Croix County. Please see attached AEA Signature Page
for St. Croix County.
County Board action approving and authorizing the County Board Chair to sign the petition is
Qbdlfu!Qh/!81

Issues, Concerns and Restraints
Variance in winter maintenance requires shifting in budgeting priorities to minimize disruption to general
maintenance and construction. Construction projects have been postponed ensuring budget is available for
winter maintenance activities.
Transportation Demands As population centers and traffic demands shift the St. Croix County Highway
Department and infrastructure must be flexible and adaptable to changing demand. The Department
continues to evaluate corridors for necessary capacity increases and safety enhancements. This is becoming
evident in areas of the county with continued growth. We will continue to monitor corridors and
intersections.
Material Inflation Construction material costs have risen significantly in 2021. These increases have caused
a delay of construction projects to ensure budget capacity for required maintenance activities. Highway
continues to look at methods to reduce impact of material increases.
Fleet challenges Replacement equipment has been difficult to obtain and caused extended life cycle costs.
The Department will continue to adapt its procurement cycle to minimize disruptions where feasible.
Goals and Objectives for Current Year 2022

2021 Annual Report
ST. CROIX COUNTY REGISTER OF DEEDS DEPARTMENT
2021 was a year of finding a new normal in the Register of Deeds office. We were fully staffed for the first time since before
COVID-19 shut down operations in many offices. The staff are happy and excited to finally be back in the office and servicing
the citizens, businesses, and customers of St. Croix County.
The Register of Deeds office continued to be a steady constant in the title industry. The work was kept current during a time
when housing costs skyrocketed, land splits/subdivisions increased, and the housing market inventory was low. Workers in the
Register of Deeds office alternated between home office and the government center for the first few months of the year and
then all returned to full-time in the office. Workers in the banking, real estate, and attorney industry started going back to the
brick-and-mortar offices too and customers again started coming to the government center to search land and vital records.
Signs of the pandemic work environment started fading away.
In times when the world around us seemed to live in fear and uncertainty, one thing remained constant and secure. The Register
of Deeds office continued to be the foundation for county records that can be relied on and available whenever the need occurs.
For over 173 years our mission remains true: to provide the official county repository for real estate records, vital records, safe
archival storage, and convenient access to these public records. We implement statutory changes, system modernization,
program and procedure evaluation and staff development to assure a high level of timely service for our citizens-customers. We
were always open for business during 2021 with excellent service and representation for the county we are so proud of.
Mission Statement: Provide information and advanced assistance to county stakeholders with the support of
technologically advanced electronic programs to provide safe archival storage and convenient access to real estate
records, vital records for birth, death, marriage, domestic partnership, termination of domestic partnership and
military discharge records for St. Croix County in compliance with local, state, and federal requirements.
Summary of Responsibilities and services:
Record or file, index, maintain and provide access to all real estate documents authorized by law to be recorded.

Goals / Objectives Achieved
In 2021 we continued with our obligations regarding the redaction requirements of 2009 Wisconsin Act 314. We
view images to see if redaction was needed and created indexing for 21,923 documents to allow searching by
names and legal descriptions within our county computerized.
We continued signing up people for property fraud alert and in 2021 we signed up 294 people and now have
4158 subscribers to this program. This program is designed to be an early notification system of potential fraud
so that property owners better protect their property interests.
Promoted our program that thanks our military veterans by connecting them with discounts at businesses within
St. Croix County. The program is called Honor Rewards. There are now over 104 businesses offering discounts to
veterans. At the end of 2021 we had 359 veterans signed up to receive these discounts. That is 188 veterans
signed up, mostly thanks to Philip Landgraf and staff of the Veterans Service Office.

Other Accomplishments
Information was back indexed so all documents back to 9/22/1966 can be searched by names and legal
descriptions with the computerized tract index. In addition, most documents have name indexing from 1848to
1966. This allows searching from remote sites and greatly improves the ability of title companies, attorneys, and
banks to obtain the real estate information needed for homeowners.
Received upgrades to our Laredo and AVID software systems.
Recorded 26213 documents in 2021. Prior year recordings were 25105 in 2020, 18700 documents in 2019,16847
in 2018, 18058 in 2017, 17958 in 2016, 17176 in 2015, 15232 in 2014, 20373 in 2013.
Increasing the number of documents being recorded electronically to 79% in 2021. In 2020=69%, 2019=60%,
2018=53%, 2017=45%, 2016=42%, 2015=39%, 2014=32%.

Qbdlfu!Qh/!217
:/3/b
Issues, Concerns and Restraints
Cybersecurity-All Register of Deeds records and indexing are permanent. In the digital world it is highly
important to ensure these records are safe from cybercrime and loss. Cybercrimes could even shut down
searches & recording while the criminals wait for ransom.
Real estate market issues such as interest rates, low inventory, fluctuations in the market that affect the workflow
of our business partners and their ability to keep pace with customer needs. This could influence the revenue
either positively or negatively. For 2021 it was again a positive influence because many properties were sold at
highly inflated prices, but we remain alert to the eventual downturn that affects home ownership and businesses
in the real estate industry.
COVID-19 affected our ability for staff to attend training that ensures they can handle changes in statutes and
administrative rules.
Inability to control the workload. Wisconsin is a race notice state so all work must be done immediately to serve
our constituent/business partners. Customer service, issuing vital records and recording of real estate records
need to be completed immediately. Work cannot wait for an employee to return from vacation or during a shut
down from COVID.
During the pandemic we worked through the constraints of having limited staff in the office to maintain proper
social distancing and ensured that staff working from home had the ability to meet their work needs.
Potential future of Confidential Record Information Shielding (CRIS). Judges and government elected officials
and their families are increasingly becoming the victims of attacks because the internet allows stalkers to find
their home addresses. Much of this started with Daniels Law. Daniel Anderl was murdered at the door of the
home he shared with his mother, U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas. The Register of Deeds office is truly stuck
in the middle. We have a requirement to provide public access to records, but at the same time we truly want to
protect the lives and well-being of our citizens. The Wisconsin Register of Deeds Association is active in finding
a statutory way to do both.
Goals and Objectives for Current Year 2022
View previously scanned historical documents for completeness and scan and index those that are missing.
Continue to back index real estate documents to increase the ability for remote searchers to fulfill a 60-year
search or a search back to patent.
Continue to redact Social Security Numbers showing on real estate documents when viewed on the internet in
compliance with Wisconsin Act 314.
Continue increasing the number of documents recorded electronically by scheduling demonstrations & visiting
business partners to discuss the benefits for their customers.
Complete the vitals database project by connecting vitals tif images to the indexing.
Research and locate if possibly 3500 missing images in our database repository and complete all county imaging
back to 1848.
Start working on a project that will connect tax parcel identification numbers to both legal descriptions and
addresses. This will help connect Register of Deeds information to our tax and GIS information. Buubdinfou;!Sfhjtufs!pg!Effet!3132!Boovbm!Sfqpsu!!):662!;!Boovbm!Efqbsunfou!Sfqpsu.!Sfhjtufs!pg!Effet

ST. CROIX COUNTY VETERAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Mission Statement
whether federal, state and/or local to which they are rightfully entitled.
Summary of Responsibilities
Counsel, advise and advocate for veterans and their family members in obtaining compensation, pension and
insurance claims under Federal Law as well as assisting in applications for medical care, loans, grants and educational
benefits at the federal and state level.
Program Summary
Provide outreach in the form of speeches, informational visits and events. Assign powers of attorney for federal
benefits applications. Provide technical assistance in applying for compensation, pension, education and medical
benefits for veterans and their families. Verify eligibility for all federal and state benefits. Apply for property tax credit
for totally disabled veterans. Assist in discharge corrections. Apply for burial benefits. Transportation of veterans to
Minneapolis VA healthcare visits. Prov
the federal and state agencies relating to denied benefits.
Goals / Objectives Achieved
We have gone paperless and scanned 16,551 files to our veteran database. We saved a good deal of money by
doing the scanning in-house, and our Administrative Associate Kathy Leisch was instrumental in attaining this goal. It
took a little over 3 ½ years, but it is completed. We have initiated a St. Croix County Veterans Coalition, but the
attendance has been spotty, and the VSOs may not prefer the in-person meeting format. We will continue to attend
any outreach events we are invited to including the St. Croix County fair, Memorial Day & Veterans Day services. We
maintained effective communications with local Service Organizations and will continue to work closely with all VSOs
to meet their needs. There has been a new outreach opportunity at the DMV. This was discovered during the
planning phase of the Mental Health Symposium. Also, with the newly allocated ARPA money of $30,000 we will
review options to utilize these funds with the best return for the veterans here in St. Croix County.

Other Accomplishments
Instrumental in acquiring $48,829,000 in Federal expenditures to the veterans and dependents of St. Croix County in
2021. This was an increase in over $3.2 million from 2020. Also, our office assisted in the reimbursement of 202
Disabled Veteran & Surviving Spouse Property Tax Credits returning $743,228 to St. Croix County. The dollars directly
end up in the households of St. Croix County veterans and assists in growing and maintaining the St. Croix County
economy as well as reducing tax-levy dollars needed to fund other St. Croix County Departments. We also dispersed
124 Medallion Markers and 1135 American flags to the Veteran Service Organizations to be displayed on St. Croix
within the county for Memorial Day.
Issues, Concerns and Restraints
There will be a planned retirement from one of our staff within the next few months, and we will be likely searching
for a new staff member in 2023 or late 2022. There will be a loss of institutional knowledge and there will be some
growing pains in training a new staff member and getting that individual up to speed with the policies and
procedures of our office, and the specific veteran benefits we advocate for. I will inquire and hope to re-classify the
position at the time of retirement. In my mind, re-classification of the position to another Assistant CVSO position
would be ideal. The ability to have another individual who could 1) administer benefits to our veterans, 2) statutorily
must be a veteran and 3) learn the requirements of the CVSO position and groom them for my job. Also, within the
Wisconsin County Veteran Service Officer Association (WICVSOA) Assistant CVSOs can take leadership and
additional roles within the organization and would be a strong recruiting tool for qualified candidates. Also, we will
press hard to find new veterans who do not know of the services we provide. Generally, the St. Croix County
veterans are very pleased with the services we provide, but some do not know we are a resource for them. I would
like to continue to find a way to market our services to those individuals. Furthermore, we will be cognizant of the
after-effects of the COVID-19 lockdowns, and emphasize mental health outreach for our veterans, and financial
assistance/responsiveness due to the likely recession in 2023.
Goals and Objectives for Current Year 2022
1) Maintain the VSO relationship in St. Croix County, and attend American Legion and VFW meetings as
well as public speaking engagements as needed.
2) Review options for recently re-allocated ARPA dollars.
Buubdinfou;!Efqbsunfou!Sfqpsu!.!3132!Wfut!!):663!;!Boovbm!Efqbsunfou!Sfqpsu.!Wfufsbot!Tfswjdft*

family members from Fiscal Year 2023.
4) Prioritize, analyze and increase outreach for mental health services and financial assistance for St. Croix
County veterans.
