COVER MEMO
TO: County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ken Witt, County Administrator
DATE: October 4, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Amending Personnel Policy
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The personnel policy affecting long-term sick leave bank (LTSB) payout was referred back to
committee. Based on the additional input from the County Board, a different approach was
taken with this version. This is a longer term fix, but creates no harm to any current employee.
The new policy eliminates any LTSB payout for any employee hired after the adoption date of
the policy. All current employees will be grand-fathered in under the current policy terms.
This does create more fiscal impact that will need to be addressed with fund balance
transfers or reallocation of budget resources.

2.4 Paid Time Off and Long-Term Sick Bank
2.4.1 Policy.
The County offers a leave package consisting of Paid Time Off (PTO) and a Long-Term Sick Leave
Bank (LTSB).
2.4.2 Purpose.
To provide for effective planning of work hours and time away from work.
2.4.3 Definitions.
Paid Time Off (PTO): An account that combines traditional sick leave and vacation time into a
singular package.
Long-Term Sick Bank (LTSB): A bank of hours to which the employee has accumulated when PTO
hours in excess of the max rolled into annually. The employee may use LTSB hours anytime a
Full-Time Employment Status: Full-Time employees should have an FTE of 0.75 or greater.
Part-Time Employment Status: Part-Time employees should have an FTE between 0.5 0.74.
2.4.4 Usage.
PTO hours are for the personal use of the employee only; unless hours are donated per the PTO
Donation Program.
LTSB hours may be used for any qualifying reason per the Family Medical Leave Act.
An employee may not be paid for time at work and also receive PTO pay simultaneously.
PTO may not be used in the same pay period in which it was earned.
When missing work due to an illness/injury totaling three days or less, PTO should be used for
the missed time.
After the third day the employee may begin deducting time from their LTSB account. The
employee may choose to update their timesheet so that all days reflect LTSB time (including
days 1-3).
When utilizing the LTSB hours the employee may be asked to submit documentation from a
physician to verify illness or injury. The county reserves the right to have a second medical
opinion at its own expense.
An employee requesting unpaid leave must have exhausted all paid leave options available
before the request will be considered. This includes LTSB (when applicable), PTO account, and
any compensatory time.
Exceptions will be made for employees on approved Wisconsin FMLA and/or receiving

PTO hours may be taken in increments not less than one-quarter (1/4) hour; although some
Department Heads or supervisors may stipulate that PTO be used in increments substantially
greater. Employees should review any applicable departmental rules to determine specific
restrictions.
Law Enforcement Employees subject to the WPPA Union Contract should also refer to contract
language in regard to usage of PTO, LTSB, and Compensatory time.
2.4.5 Multiplier.
The total number of PTO hours earned each pay period is based on the number of regular hours
paid to the employee that same pay period. Payroll hours are tied to a multiplier that is based
upon years of service (noted below). **

** Employees in non-represented status prior to May 1, 1995 shall increase according to the
2.4.6 Approval and Documentation.
All PTO/LTSB requests are dependent on the
approval.
If an employee is requesting PTO for an illness or injury, the employee must report the need at
least one (1) hour before the start of the work day or shift (except in cases of emergency or
development of the illness during work hours).
Employees designated as providing uninterruptible services (Emergency Support Services, Direct
Patient Care, etc.) should report an illness or injury at least two (2) hours prior to the start of the
work day or shift (except in cases of emergency or development of the illness during work
hours).

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING FUND BALANCE TRANSFER
COVER MEMO
TO: County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ken Witt, County Administrator
DATE: October 4, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Authorizing Fund Balance Transfer
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Every year we analyze the fund balances and make transfers between funds as necessary. We
have a fund balance policy that sets target ranges for the amount of fund balance in each fund.
This year, the recommendation is to take the amount of excess unassigned general fund
balance and transfer to three other funds. The debt service fund to cover a negative fund
balance and to provide the County Administrator with flexibility to offset part of the tax levy.
The RHS fund will need additional cash transferred in to accommodate the grand-fathered
payouts guaranteed in the recent policy change to LTSB payout. Any remaining unassigned
general fund balances are generally transferred into the CIP fund to reduce the need for
future debt issuance.

Issues, Concerns and Restraints
In 2020 the Agency and Corporation Counsel met with Judge Vlack, and we discussed options in
establishing an additional court date or program that will assist the Agency with early intervention and
chronic delinquent participants. We were
and implement in 2021.
As a collaboration, we (Corporation Counsel and Child Support Administrator) decided to not pursue
during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Once the pandemic has lessened, we will commence discussions and
collaboration of a viable plan. This does not seem feasible currently because the pandemic is still lingering.
Goals and Objectives for Current Year 2022
In compliance with St. Croix County strategic plan, we have focused on the following:
Responsibility by reviewing current practices and procedures to be more fiscally productive
(postage, printing, supplies etc.).
o Developed a process to fax all notices to employers and other government entities to
save on postage, printing, and supplies.
Respect, Accountability, Integrity, Transparency and Cooperation by reviewing our customer
service plan and improve our Service Delivery internally and externally.
o Multiple staff reviewed our in-house and external standardization document and have
updated to improve customer service and provide consistent customer service.
Innovation by reviewing current program information to best provide our services.
o Developed and improved customer service information handouts and packets.

Summary of Responsibilities:
recordkeeping functions of the court including: custodian of the record, court administration, jury
management and court finances.
the areas of: civil, jury, criminal, traffic, small claims, accounting/financial, family, paternity, county
ordinance violations, and juvenile ordinance violations. Each division provides specialized support services

Goals / Objectives Achieved in 2021
Participation in the Wisconsin State Debt Collection program (SDC) has enabled us to turn over
outstanding debts for collection by the Department of Justice. We collected the incredible amount
of $539,296.61 in 2021 through this program! From December 2018 through December 2021, the
total collected was $1,039,721.59. From January 2022 September 2022, we have collected an
additional $344,793.94, bringing the total amount collected since entry in this program is

Cross-training of staff was accelerated due to necessity. The Clerk of Court office has prided itself on
having employees cross-trained in multiple divisions not only for the acquired knowledge but to
also assist with workloads and scheduling. In 2021, six tenured employees left the department in
seven months, there was little choice except to train as many people in as many different divisions
as we could.

paper files. There are Wisconsin Supreme Court rules that mandate the term of retention for court
files based on case type. The time frames vary from two years to permanent retention. Converting
paper files to electronic format decreases the amount of time it takes to locate documents and files
and therefore increases productivity. Interfaces between departments and agencies outside the
court system has led to increased collaboration and efficiencies within our department as well as
other departments including:
Support officepartment and WI
State Patrol, Register of Deeds office, private attorneys and the general public.

Other Accomplishments
Continue to enhance customer service and court processes in order to provide efficient, effective
and expeditious administration of justice and ensure equal access to court services.
All four courtrooms had major technological upgrades
and enhancements in them which helped immensely as we were holding hearings in person and
remotely via Zoom and other means. Currently, most hearings are in-person but litigants may
appear remotely with court approval. Additionally, traffic and forfeiture intake courts as well as first
appearances for small claims actions are being held via Zoom with the court commissioner. These
upgrades were completed in 2021 and we are very appreciative of the assistance from Facilities and
the IT department for all of the work they did to support these upgrades!

Issues, Concerns and Restraints
Recruitment, training and retaining knowledgeable staff was a major concern for our department in
2021 and continues to be in 2022. Our employees are our most important resource as we are a
customer service entity serving not only judges and the court system, law enforcement and
attorneys, but the general public as well. Statutory obligations and requirements and critical
deadlines must be adhered to at all times. Due to the demanding nature of the work performed by
the Clerk of Court office, staff retention is difficult. We lost six court clerks between May 14, 2021
and December 31, 2021 and were only able to hire three new employees in that time period. We
have had four resignations in 2022, including one of our new hires from 2021. We hired 5 new
Qbdlfu!Qh/!79
21/3/b
employees in early 2022, one has already resigned. In addition, we had two 12-week FMLA claims in
2022. We were already struggling with our workloads and this has compounded our struggles.
Thank you to my supervisors, Melissa Warrick and Shelly Fox, for going above and beyond in our
efforts to recruit, train and retain employees.
There is serious compression within the wage grid for the Clerk of Court employees as they are
primarily in Step 4 and Step 5 of their respective pay grades regardless of their years of service. We
have little leverage to hire new employees at a step higher than the minimum since our current
employees are not even at the market level of Step 6. A compression study was completed for our
department in 2022 and nearly all of our employees were moved to higher steps in the wage grid.
Thank you to Administrator Witt and the County Board for approving that resolution.
The number of hearings heard by all court officials has increased over the past several years, most
impactful for the Clerk of Court staff is the increase in the number of hearings for the court
commissioners. We have requested two new positions for our department for 2022. The first
position requested is to handle the courtroom duties, clerking, for our two court commissioners. All
staff are cross-trained in at least one additional division other than their primary division. We have
have at least one other division of expertise in which they perform case management functions.
With all of the increased responsibilities due to the technological upgrades and statutory
responsibilities, courtroom clerks are not able to simultaneously perform the case management
functions that are additionally assigned to them, which leaves a larger burden on our divisional desk
clerks. Currently, we do not have dedicated clerks for the two court commissioners so we have to
pull our divisional desk clerks to clerk for the hearings that the court commissioners preside over.
This leaves the divisional desk clerks with an even bigger strain to complete their case management
functions since they are in court more frequently. We are also requesting a second position to
perform duties in our criminal division as that division is experiencing tremendous growth in the
number of cases filed and our case management processing time is increasing which is causing not
only a backlog, but a great deal of stress on staff. I am happy to report that one new position was
approved for 2022! Thank you again to Administrator Witt and the County Board!
Updated technology in all courtrooms and hearing rooms has made it essential for all staff to have
the knowledge to set up, turn on, monitor, and troubleshoot Crestron and Polycom equipment in
Buubdinfou;!3133!Boovbm!Sfqpsu!Dmfsl!pg!Dpvsu!!):831!;!Dmfsl!pg!Dpvsu!Boovbm!Sfqpsu*
the courtrooms and hearing rooms as well as setting up Zoom hearings and video conferencing.
The Clerk of Court staff members are called upon to assist any time there is a problem with any of
the systems, at a moment's notice, often times while court is in session. There has also been a new
digital audio recording (DAR) system installed in the court commissioner hearing rooms that
requires Court Clerks to operate and troubleshoot immediately if the equipment isn't working.
Before each hearing begins, Court Clerks are expected to: turn on the DAR equipment, log into the
Qbdlfu!Qh/!7:
21/3/b
software, confirm that the audio is working properly, test each microphone in the hearing room,
record the hearing, monitor the audio throughout the recording for quality assurance, mark the start
and stop times of each hearing and troubleshoot the equipment. Troubleshooting equipment
during any court hearing is disruptive, stressful and time consuming for all involved.
Goals and Objectives for Current Year 2022
Child Support Interface with CCAP was completed in 2022. It was
developed to create an easier process for Child Support Agencies to interface directly with CCAP.
Our family division clerk, Melissa Benoy, worked collaboratively with the CSA staff and Corporation
Counsel staff to make it a smooth transition!
A major upgrade of our case management system software was implemented in late June 2022.
CCAP3 provides for a cloud-based format to make it easier to maneuver in. It has been a challenge
system since its inception in 1993.
Properly train new employees and those with limited experience in their current assignments or
wanting to achieve Court Clerk II status, so they have the knowledge to successfully perform their
duties and serve the public.
Continue commitment of time and resources for the collection of unpaid debt through the State
Debt Collection program.
Continuing advancement of mandatory eFiling and learning and developing new processes as
needed. We have been making system changes and there will be shifts in staff work loads and
procedures as we continue converting files to electronic format and becoming paperless.
We appreciate the collaborative efforts of all the county departments we work with including: the
Judges and judicial assistants, Register in Probate and staff, Court Commissioners and staff, Child
Treasurer, County Clerk, Administration, Finance and Facilities.
Most importantly, I want to thank my staff for their tireless work, commitment and dedication!

Secured collaboration with Polk County in interest with 4 other counties.
Issues, Concerns and Restraints
Fatigue of staff is a primary concern the biggest restraint. The ability to retain the staff we do have and to
hire. The Program Coordinator has been a great addition to our team we will need to investigate how this
department will evolve over the next decade as the need for service increases.
Goals and Objectives for Current Year
CAT program up and running collaborating with all our partners. Keep providing the best postmortem
service to our community. We are establishing a business model that includes sustainability of this
equipment.
Adding Ergonomically designed equipment to be utilized when moving a larger population will have an
impact on all who assist in moving decedents from point A to point B. A mechanical lift to enhance our cot
system will be a key component to lessoning back injuries. Our cot weights 125 lbs. add to that the weight
of an average weight of an average American which is 177 lbs. that is a 300-pound lift into the van and out
of the van. Most of this lifting is done collaboratively with
fire department more with lift assists and I see this to be a resource that will grow.
Work with the UW Extension on the free Planning ahead program to educate community members the
