2014 LIBRARY EXEMPTIONS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA
1.2014 Library Exemptions
The 2014 Library Exemptions item was removed from the Consent Agenda per the request of
Malick. Malick explained based on the opinion received at the October 23, 2013 Committee of
the Whole (COTW), Assistant Corporation Counsel Rohl advised if column 9 in the table listing
Exemption from the County Library Tax, shows a positive balance then under state law, the
County Board could not deny the exemption. Malick noted the discussion at the COTW meeting
was why this isn’t an administrative action. Malick added he asks to abstain on the grounds his
vote on this matter would be ineffective. He noted the extreme ranges in the contributions
column of the table. Malick referenced a 2002 resolution passed by the St. Croix County Board
approving the Hudson Area Joint Library consisting of the City of Hudson, Village of North
Hudson and Town of Hudson, and later adding the Town of St. Joseph. Malick referenced
language in the resolution reading: “FURTHER, be it resolved that the City of Hudson, Village
of North Hudson and the Town of Hudson are exempted from the County library tax levy
pursuant to Wisconsin statutes §43.64.” This language addressed the county library tax. Malick
added within the body of the 2002 resolution it states: “WHEREAS, pursuant to discussions with
the Finance Committee, the Mayor of Hudson, President of North Hudson and Chairman of the
Town of Hudson have all acknowledged that the joint library board intends to reimburse any
public library in the County for any negative financial impacts for loss of collections for "rural
circulation" that would have been received had the joint library members remained subject to the
County library tax levy”. Malick noted the minutes reflect the importance of this paragraph.
Malick requested to abstain and referred to an article recently published in the Hudson Star
Observer which indicates a substantial threat the Hudson Area Joint Library will not make those
payments in 2014, for the first time since 2002. Malick opposes the exemption for the Joint
Library’s failure to meet the important conditions and the vote on this is unnecessary with
respect to the outcome.
Chair Standafer recognized Scot Simpson, River Falls City Administrator who requested to
speak on the county library levy. Simpson expressed his appreciation for the county’s library
support. Simpson noted discussions by the River Falls City Council since the October 19th
notification by the Hudson Area Joint Library which provided it will not honor agreement in
place for reimbursement. He said that decision has been met with disappointment and in a
typical year is a $20,000 impact on the River Falls library. The City of River Falls is not asking
for specific action but is disappointed and requested the County Board be mindful of the network
of library services throughout the County.
Standafer said the County Board gave permission to those municipalities to form the Hudson
Area Joint Library and the County is not a party to the agreement. Any administrative decision
the Joint Library makes is not a county issue and requested Corporation Counsel’s or Finance
Director’s response. The reimbursement issue is not an exemption issue and before the County
Board is a notification there is a qualification of all municipalities in the County to be exempt
from the county library levy.
Corporation Counsel Cox reported the County’s role is to approve the formation of the Joint
Library. The county is not a party to the agreement. If a municipality meets the exemption
requirement and has a positive balance, the county is required to exempt them from the library
tax. Cox indicated in some counties this is handled as an administrative issue.
Discussion regarding rescinding the resolutions passed in 2002 and 2004. Malick indicated later
in the meeting he intends to ask Corporation Counsel to research the County’s options regarding
this matter. Kiesler indicated the County Board is allowed rescind resolutions previously passed
and asked if Standafer would entertain a motion to rescind. Standafer indicated if a formal
request is made he would refer it to the appropriate committee.
Motion by Hood, 2nd by Yoerg acknowledging receipt of the notifications from the
respective municipalities for exemption from the County Library Levy. Requests to abstain
from various County Board members for the same reason previously requested by Malick.
Passed: Yes - 10; No - 1; Abstentions - 7.

RESULT:DISCUSSED
OLD AND NEW BUSINESS
1.2014 County Administrator's Recommended Budget
Thompson summarized the proposed budget is $67.7 million which is approximately one-half
percent lower than the 2013 budget. The net new construction increased 1.364 percent. The
proposed 2014 property tax levy is $28,021,926 which is under the state imposed maximum
allowable property tax levy by $830,656. The County Administrator’s recommended mill rate of
$3.99 is a reduction of 2.33 percent from the 2013 mill rate of $4.09. The General Fund
unassigned fund balance remains at approximately 40+ percent. Thompson reported bonding in
2014 will be in excess of $10,000,000 and a strong fund balance is favorable to bond counsel.
Thompson indicated if the County Board approves the bond resolution in 2014 this fund may be
used to reduce the amount of borrowing by the use of the undesignated fund reserve subject to
County Board approval. Review of self-funded health insurance account noting a 1% increase
for employee and health insurance benefits. Review of capital project expenditures
recommended in 2014 in the amount of $930,827. Human Resources budgeted $400,000 for Pay
for Performance (P4P). Thompson indicated the balance in that account will be brought forward
to 2014 for Human Resources and compensation adjustments only. There is a recommendation
that $26,000 be used from the P4P budget to purchase an electronic evaluation system (E-
Appraisal). Thompson reported $169,000 will carry forward at the end of 2013 to 2014.
Discussion regarding P4P balance and the purchase of E-Appraisal software. The purchase
price is $26,000 with an annual maintenance fee of $19,500 and includes 500 licenses. Ring
cautioned use of funds budgeted for P4P for anything other than employee pay for performance.
Thompson agreed.
Thompson reviewed department reductions noting approximately $800,000 was reduced or
changed from the initial 2014 department budget requests. Thompson highlighted staff position
changes and listed the new positions in the proposed budget including a full time CJCC
Coordinator with partial funding by a TAD grant if approved, full time Human Resource
Generalist, full time Sheriff Deputy and full time deputy in the Register of Deeds, noting this
position ends when funding ends. Thompson reported seven position requests were denied.
Thompson reported on minor adjustments to the proposed budget since the October COTW
meeting, noting a $10 adjustment in the library levy, adjustment made for the Nursing Home
average census a change of $35,000, and operationally Administration is recommending
soliciting a private vendor for food service in the Nursing Home which results in an
operationally savings of $145,000 in operation levy.
Discussion regarding the District Attorney’s drug prosecutor position request. Thompson denied
the request as it would be a State of Wisconsin position which the County would need to
reimburse. He added the District Attorney provided examples where other counties have a State
of Wisconsin position which is reimbursed by counties. Thompson recommends Community
Justice Collaborating Council (CJCC) review this need. Discussion regarding grant funding for
this position.
2.Public Hearing on 2014 Proposed Budget per Wis. Stats. 65.90(3)
Chair Standafer opened the public hearing at 10:52 a.m.
Greg Berg, Hudson spoke in support of a drug prosecutor position in the District Attorney’s

Standafer concluded the public hearing at 11:13 a.m.
3.Resolution Adopting 2014 Budget and Approving Other Expenditures
Chair Standafer entertained a motion for the Resolution Adopting the 2014 Budget and
Approving Other Expenditures. Motion by Kiesler, 2nd Peterson.
Motion by Kiesler, 2nd by Schachtner to amend the budget to include the fulltime Drug
Prosecutor position in the District Attorneys’ office with a two-year sunset. District Attorney
Eric Johnson spoke in support of the position and provided statistics noting the immediate need
for this position. Discussion regarding case load, data on the impact of having this position and
grant funding. Hood would like to see prevention measures before it becomes a prosecution.
Review of areas to fund the position including undesignated general fund. Discussion regarding
CJCC’s role to review and make recommendations. Motion by Schachtner to amend the
amendment to take funds from the undesignated general fund. Motion failed for lack of second.
Discussion regarding indicating a funding source in the motion. Cox stated it is preferable to
identify a funding source but not necessarily required but before the end of the meeting, the
budget needs to be balanced. Failed: Yes - 8; No - 10.

Discussion regarding staff position changes. The proposed budget includes: three positions
move from contract positions to benefit eligible; three positions reclassified to a different title;
seven positions have slight increase in hours worked; nine job classifications allocated to new
pay grade; and four career development job series created. Thompson provided a breakdown of
the staff position changes. Hawksford asked if the pay grade increases also qualified for P4P pay
increases. HR Director Funk confirmed this and the pay grade increases are based on her market
analysis. The proposed budget contains $49,000 for the nine pay grade increases.
Discussion regarding Government Center renovations proposed 2014 amount of $200,000 and
2013 budget of $340,000 for renovations. Hansen indicated costs for 2013 projects have not
been determined and projects are not complete. Discussion regarding security issues at the
Highway Department. Ziliak indicated the Sheriff’s Office assessment report will include
security enhancements but there are no funds set aside in 2014. Ziliak reported the 2014
renovations include CDD and Veterans Service Office and audio/video and furniture upgrades in
the County Board Room.
Motion by Hood, 2nd by Hawksford to amend the budget to reduce the annual county
vehicle registration fund by $739,000 thereby effectively eliminating the annual county
vehicle registration fee set in Ordinance 760(2007) now Chapter 77 of the St. Croix County
Code of Ordinance and showing a zero revenue and diverting the money from the Highway
Department to the General Fund. Cox explained his understanding is the motion eliminates the
revenue designated for the vehicle registration fee and believes that is allowable but the motion
will not repeal the ordinance and the collection of the fee. Repealing of the ordinance needs to be
done by another ordinance and gone through the committee process. Cox confirmed the State
needs to be given a 60-day notice after the adoption of the ordinance repealing the existing
ordinance. Standafer indicated the ordinance is still in effect and the $10.00 would continue to
get collected. Discussion regarding registration fee designation for transportation purposes and
Highway Department fund balance of $1.8 million. Highway Commissioner Ramberg explained
the number being referred to must be the Highway Department working capital balance and is a
combination of encumbered asset values and fund balances assigned to projects that extend over
several years. Discussion regarding the motion and repealing the existing ordinance. Motion by
Kiesler, 2nd by Horne to call the question. Standafer indicated if there is no objection from the
County Board he will take that as a motion to close debate. Hood confirmed he realizes the
vehicle registration fee will still be collected but wants to show zero revenue in the budget under
that line item. Thompson added there will need to be subsequent action by the County Board
because there will be a $700,000 hole in the budget. Motion by Horne, 2nd Kiesler to refer this
matter to the Transportation Committee until it comes forward with a recommendation.

Motion by Malick, 2nd Ostness to amend the budget to pay from the Sales Tax Fund any
reimbursements, not to exceed $40,000 to libraries in the County which the Hudson Area
Joint Library does not pay in 2014; and to request legal advice be given to the County
Board, not later than the March meeting, whether the County can 1) require the Hudson
Area Joint Library to pay these and future reimbursements, or 2) rescind the County
Board’s approval of the Hudson Area Joint Library. Malick explained the $40,000 is for
River Falls, Roberts and Somerset libraries that made the request for reimbursement and the
amount of their request for reimbursements are slightly less than $40,000. Standafer questioned
a statement made in the motion “which the Hudson Area Joint Library does not pay”, and
indicated it’s not the joint library that pays, but rather the four municipalities, which are part of
the joint library. Hansen confirmed the 2008 agreement provides the Hudson Area Joint Library
will reimburse other libraries in St. Croix County for any shortfall between what they receive for
library services from St. Croix County and the rural circulation funding they would have
received if no towns participated in the Hudson Area Joint Library. Yoerg asked why the County
would get involved in a local issue. Malick responded this readdresses the victim problem and if
the County does not do this for them, then they are out the money, and second, Malick feels the
Sales Tax Fund is the proper way to fund this. Discussion regarding setting precedence and the
need to fulfill another’s obligation. Malick feels this is temporary and is hopeful the findings
will be the joint library has to pay it. Passed: Yes - 12; No - 6.

Motion by Hood, 2nd by Ottino to eliminate from the 2014 budget the CJCC Coordinator
position and use the $54,000 to reduce the property tax levy. Discussion regarding the
newly formed CJCC and the need for a fulltime position. Motion by Malick, 2nd by Horne
to amend the proposed amendment to reduce the amount in the budget by fifty percent and
make the position available in July, contingent upon County Board approval before the
July date. Discussion regarding TAD grant funding. Thompson explained he will know if the
grant application was approved by December and noted the grant will fund more than a portion
of the position. Thompson added Clerk of Court Meyer has assigned, on a temporary basis, a
Clerk of Court staff member to work with the CJCC and the work of CJCC needs to be staffed in
order for CJCC to be effective. Amendment Failed: Yes - 7; No - 11.

Motion by Hawksford, 2nd by Ostness to designate $5,000,000 of the unassigned general
fund balance to pay for the 911 upgrade expense, and if not spent for 911, use it for the
New Richmond Services Center.
Hawksford reported it appears the County is $5.9 million above the policy threshold and appears
it will grow by $1,000,000 in 2013. He would like to set aside the funds now to reduce what the
County will have to bond. Thompson confirmed the bonding is scheduled for mid-2014 and is
unsure of the amount and recommends taking that matter up at that time for a more thorough
analysis. Discussion regarding overall bond rating and the importance of a healthy fund balance.

Motion by Brinkman, 2nd by Horne to amend the budget to remove the funding allocation
for the new pay grades for the nine job titles and reduce personnel costs by $49,000. Malick
asked if the Administration Committee made an analysis. Thompson indicated this is an
operational exercise in which the HR Director did an analysis and provided a final
recommendation to Thompson. Questions regarding conflicting with P4P. Funk explained she
reviews the local labor market and is committed to making sure wages are competitive.
Discussion regarding Carlson Dettmann study in 2011. Funk provided a history of the study and
comparisons. Kiesler expressed concerns regarding seven of the nine positions are administrative
type positions. Motion Failed (Tie Vote): Yes - 9; No - 9.

Horne and Yoerg left the meeting at 3:15 p.m.
Hawksford questioned the Parks budget and the large decline in revenue. CDD Director Denzer
explained total revenue for 2013 shows just over $600,000. Denzer explained Parks is treated as
a standalone fund and non-lapsing. Improvements to the facilities are paid for by surplus funds
to offset expenses. Denzer indicated revenues from fees are up. Hansen reported the parks
balance has a fund balance because it’s a standalone fund and the fund balance was determined
too high so they are spending it down for a parks software system ($20,000) and park
improvements ($30,000).
Standafer indicated there is a main motion on the floor to approve the 2014 budget with
one amendment for the library issue. The motion was made by Kiesler 2nd Peterson.
