BUSINESS ITEMS

2. Discuss Resolution to Authorize the Sale of Vacant County Land and Assign Proceeds to
Create a Separate Capital Projects Fund
Relocation of 9-1-1 Center and Sale of Vacant Land - Discussion
Administrator Thompson stated since the resolution addressing the sale of vacant land
was presented at the December county board meeting staff have been working to get
additional information on the project to present to each of the standing committees. The
presentations and discussions at each committee will address supervisor's questions.
Health and Human Services Director Fred Johnson and Emergency Support Services
Director Casey Swetlik will both present information to the committee.
Thompson stated the county has owned this land since the 1800’s. The lease on the
vacant land expires the end of this year. The County has critical capital outlay needs
which will be addressed later in the meeting. The intent is to retain 30 acres (shown on
handout outlined in blue). Consultants have recommended to the county to retain 7 - 10
acres to accommodate nursing home and assisted living facilities. Research from staff has
indicated the method of sale for agriculture land of this size and magnitude is best done at
auction.
Health and Human Services Director Fred Johnson presented to the committee how the
Health and Human Services department would proceed if the sale of vacant land occurs.
The plan addresses vacating the current building, cleanup of current site, continuing
services to the residents of St. Croix County, determining a new infrastructure while
implementing new Health records, working with IT and HR to support a mobile
workforce and relocating in a location which best achieves efficiencies for all county
departments.
Emergency Support Services Director Casey Swetlik presented to the committee options
for the 9-1-1 center relocation if the sale of vacant land occurs. His report addressed
location options of a new 9-1-1 center, current status of critical technological
infrastructure, planning required for moving the existing 9-1-1 center and Emergency
Support Services offices, a transition plan for accomplishing the move and the final
cutover of services.
Discussion.
