Veterans' Service Office Budget: Lorin Sather Veterans' Service Officer presented his budget to the committee for approval. Sather referred to highlighted areas of his budget and explained the reasons for the increases or decreases for the year 2002. Chair Bieraugel asked that Sather report back to the committee in January to see how 2001 expenses and revenues ended up. Supr. Peterson asked if there is a decrease in service to veterans because of the loss of so many World War II vets. Sather stated that St. Croix County is growing so rapidly that it is making up for the decrease in the loss of these war vets. Chair Bieraugel questioned the increase usage of Veteran's relief for the year 2001. Sather stated more Vet's were in need of emergency help (gas, groceries, rent). Sather, along with the Board of Commissioners, screens individual's needs as best they can. It is usually a one time assistance for each recipient. Motion to approve the Veterans' Service Office budget was made by Luckey, 2nd by Peterson. Carried. Rules and By -Laws: No discussion. Legislative Issues: A resolution in support of the Boundary Area Commission was discussed. Without the Governor's veto the Boundary Commission would be eliminated. No action was taken. Whiting shared a letter from Racine County stating they agreed and supported St. Croix County's feeling in regard to WCA's involvement in the gambling industry. Supr. O'Connell strongly feels the whole County Board should approve who is appointed to the WCA Committees. Whiting has mailed out to all supervisors a list of the WCA Steering Committees and their responsibilities, along with a nomination form. Redistricting: All villages, towns and cities have submitted their resolutions approving the County Redistricting Plan. The Redistricting Plan will be mailed to supervisors about August 10 A public hearing and resolution will be on the August 21 County Board meeting agenda. Committee Structure: Committee structure and how it relates to the personnel needed to run County Government more cost effectively was briefly discussed. A special meeting will be set up to go over committee structuring. Role of Officers: The committee discussed briefly what would happen if the Chair of the Board's office were vacated. Should the Vice Chair move to the Chair position and a new Vice Chair be elected by the County Board? This would require a change in our by- laws. Further discussion at a later meeting. Tourist Information Center: Supr. O'Connell had heard that the tourist information center could possibly be moved to Menomonie. A resolution supporting keeping it in Hudson should be drawn up, but we need to make sure this is not just a rumor. Whiting will check for more facts before anything is done. Motion by O'Connell, 2 nd by Peterson to adjourn at 11:15 A.M. Carried.
