Next Meeting bate: Legislative Breakfast — April 30 — 7:00 A.M. Hudson House
May Administration meeting is May 1, 2001 900 A.M.
Rules and By -Laws: The county needs to have a uniform way of getting minutes done
and distributed. Many are questioning putting the "unofficial" minutes on the web site.
Administrator Whiting will try and draw something up that would be workable for all
committees and departments. More discussion at the May meeting.
Legislative Issues: Supr. O'Connell stated Rep. Rhoades is working on getting an
administrative rule in place that would allow smaller rural areas to staff only one
paramedic on the scene versus two, which is the current rule. It will be referred to the
Emergency Management Committee and they will draw up a resolution to present to
County Board for approval.
Planning Director Fodroczi briefly explained a resolution endorsing maintaining funding
for municipal recycling programs. Motion by Bieraugel, 2nd by Luckey to support the
resolution offered by the Resource and Education Committee. Carried.
Redistricting: A resolution was drawn up and will be presented to County Board for the
establishment of a county redistricting committee. Motion by O'Connell, 2nd by
Peterson to present the resolution to County Board. Carried.
Planner Ellen Denzer presented census figures to the committee. The official census
population for St. Croix County is 63,155 an increase of 12,902. Each County Board
Supervisor will now have 2037 constituents versus 1600. Denzer will be presenting the
census results to the County Board at the April 17 meeting. Copies of the presentation
will also be given out.
Veterans' Sergice Officer Evaluation: Chair Bieraugel feels that the evaluation should
be done by Administrative Coordinator Whiting. He works more closely with Lorin.
The committee could then add supplemental comments. Motion by Peterson, 2nd by
Standafer to have Whiting do the evaluation on Lorin Sather. Carried. The committee
will then review the evaluation in closed session at the next meeting.
Supr. Standafer was dismissed at 10:00 A.M.
Committee Structure: Whiting explained the committee structure options he drew up,
one of which included an Executive Committee made up of the chairmen/chairwomen of
each standing committee. The Executive Committee could prepare the County's budget,
an idea that is endorsed by some supervisors. The Finance Committee would then be
responsible for administrating the budget and helping to resolve problems throughout the
year. Supr. Peterson thinks a separate meeting should be scheduled for restructuring
discussion. Whiting will continue working on improving a committee structure model
for the county using suggestions and ideas from supervisors and staff.
Tobacco Settlement Monies: The committee discussed the Governor's plan to sell the
settlement payment plan in exchange for a lesser amount of money now. Some of the
money would be used to help balance the budget. More information is needed in order
for St. Croix County to take a position on this proposal. Supr. Standafer had stated
earlier that he would try and get more information about this subject when he was in
Madison. We will discuss further at the next meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 10:30 A.M.
