Approval of minutes: Jensen moved to approve minutes of May 22, 2002, seconded by Anderson and carried. Minor Subdivisions: See attachment A: Major Subdivisions: See attachment B: The committee recessed from 10:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Zoning Business Bills, Invoices and Revenue Report: Motion by Jensen, seconded by Anderson and carried to approve April 2002 bills of $15,425.92 and to note revenue of $37,485.50. Tower Ordinance: Fisher handed out a copy of the draft copy of the tower ordinance to the committee, dated 10/23/01. The committee had previously approved this copy to send to County Board, but then the cell tower VoiceStream case came up, and this ordinance was put on hold until a decision was made in that case. The VoiccStream Motion for Summary Judgment went in favor of the county, and is now over. Buck Malick joined the group and discussed the Judge's decision in this matter. Malick went over the changes to the ordinance, and explained that the DNR and the National Park Service govern the St. Croix Riverway District. This ordinance would be a county ordinance. He said that the DNR Chapter N.R. 118 is going to be changing and is in the process of being re -written at this time. The amendment should be completed in about one year. Discussion held on stealth towers. The committee agreed that another public hearing should be held on the tower ordinance, and may possibly hold a hearing on July 23 Discussion held on a possible moratorium for towers until the new ordinance is adopted. Fisher will check with Corporation Counsel on this. The committee will discuss again at their meeting on June 26"'. Violations and Citations: The Committee reviewed the report. A discussion was held on how the staff goes about resolving these issues. Fisher told the committee that several of the violations have ended up in court, but it is a very slow process. Jon Sonnentag spends most of his time working on the violations, along with other duties he has in the zoning office. Fisher will check on where the money from the fines end up, with the state or the county. Fisher will keep the committee updated on the current violations. Parks Reclassification: Joe Grant handed out a request for a reclassification of two positions, Parks Director and Assistant Parks Director. He went over the procedure for this. Discussion held by the committee. The committee told Grant that they are concerned about granting reclassifications at this time, as the budget is so uncertain, and the county is not sure what the state is going to be doing. The committees have been told to hold off on reclassifications for this year, due to the budget problems. Motion by Jensen, seconded by Luckey and carried to deny the request for reclassification request. Municipal Plats: The following municipal plat was reviewed: Horseshoe Heights in the NE 1 /4 & SE 1 /4, S36, T3 IN RI 8W, City of New Richmond. Motion by Jensen, seconded by Luckey and carried to certify no objection. No opinion is expressed concerning adequate sewer service. Rezoning Scheduling: The following rezoning request was scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on July 16th at the Agriculture Center in Baldwin: Mike and Connie Van Keuren, Town of Rush River. Rezoning Decisions: No rezoning decisions at this time. Personnel Requests — Zoning: Fisher held a discussion with the committee on the septic contract position in zoning. The position is budgeted for $65,000 per year, and Fisher would like to look into hiring another full -time septic inspector, rather than the contract position. He believes that we could have a full -time employee, that would be available the entire year, rather than just the summer months, for the same amount of money. Fisher believes this to be more cost effective for the county. If this is not approved, Fisher said that it is important to at least have the contract person again, as it has been very helpful to the department. Motion by Jensen, seconded by Luckey to support the zoning department's request, if it is found to be more cost effective to hire a full -time employee, rather than the contract position. A roll call vote was taken, and the motion passed on a unanimous vote. Zoning Fees: Fisher handed out a list of the current fees for zoning. The committee reviewed the list and a discussion was held on increasing some of the fees. Fisher will bring back to the committee at a future meeting. Capital Outlay: Kay Walsh, Register of Deeds, presented the Capital Outlay Plan for the Register of Deeds department. She handed out research that has been done on the one -time purchase of the software verses the Life Cycle yearly rates. Walsh has met with Chuck Whiting, Rich Loney and Tom Boron regarding this matter, and they support the yearly Life Cycle plan, rather than the one -time purchase. They believe it to be the best plan for the money. Discussion held by the committee. Motion by Jensen, second by Anderson and carried to approve the Capital Outlay Plan as presented, and to approve the yearly Life Cycle plan for the software. Walsh added that she will bring the contract to the meeting on July 9 for the committee to review. There is a possibility that this software could be installed now, rather than January, at no extra cost to the county. Personnel Request — Planning: Dave Fodroczi asked the committee for their support in hiring a permanent' /4 time employee for the real property department. There is a % time LTE person working in that position, and would like this to be increased by /4 time, and become permanent. The volume of work in that department has increased tremendously, and another person is needed there on a permanent basis. The software for this department is very complicated, and there is a lot of training involved, so he would like to hire someone that is there permanently. Discussion held by the committee. Motion by Jensen, seconded by Luckey and unanimously carried to request that the Personnel Committee extend the deadline for the new position requests. The committee believes there is much uncertainty with the 2003 budget at this time, and asked that any personnel requests from the Planning, Zoning and Parks Departments be allowed to be turned in at a later date. The committee will review this again at their meeting on July 9"'. LESA Presentation: The date of August 14 at 7:00 p.m. at the Agriculture Center in Baldwin was set for the LESA Presentation. Fodroczi will contact the Land and Water Conservation Department.
