FINANCE COMMITTEE
Budget Review September 25,26,27,2000
Summary of changes is attached.
September 25: Meeting called to order by Chair O'Connell at 8:30
a.m. Present: Tom O'Connell, Tom Dorsey, Stan Krueger, Ralph
Swenson and Nancy Bieraugel (arrived 8:42 a.m.). Staff - Admin.
Coordinator Chuck Whiting, Finance Director Rich Loney and County
Clerk Sue Nelson.
Currently the levy stands at $16,829,713 and 3.88 mill rate which is
a 200 levy increase. The new Health Insurance increase is not
included in these figures.
O'Connell said this is a big project with some big budget items
including Insurance, Nursing Home, Health and Human Services and
Parks. Whiting said capital outlay items were changed by
Departments in their budget after they were submitted to him.
Loney noted the budgets have requests for capital outlay items
included. The County hasn't borrowed much in the past few years.
The State Trust Fund Loan is available with 4 1/2% interest for up
to a four year loan and for five to 10 years a 5% rate. The County
could borrow up to $3 million.
O'Connell told Ayres and Assoc. to deal through the Finance Comm.
and not Public Protection for a Huber study. He believes $75,000 is
too much for a study.
In regard to Health Insurance, Loney said the specific stop loss is
$50,000 per person. The aggregate is used after reaching 125% of
anticipated claims. If the County funds at 125% of claims, there
would be an $875,000 increase; if fund lower, for example, at 113%
the impact would be $550,000. Funding at 125% leaves no liability
to the County. Swenson said Personnel Comm. recommends funding at
125%. Whiting will ask Corporation Counsel Timmerman to draft a
policy to adopt for the insurance program.
Fair Board: President Dick Sullwold and Budget and Planning Comm.
member Greg Warner present. Warner stated the requested increase is
due to decreased Fair revenue and additional expense incurred in
moving and expanding the size of the track. The electrical power
was off on Friday night from 7:30 to midnight. A new transformer has
been installed but now circuits are blowing. The Board is having
trouble generating money to operate the Fair.
Bierauguel suggested charging food vendors a percentage of sales.
Warner said this has been studied but is not feasible.

Finance Budget Review Sept. 25,26,27, 2001
Warner outlined the 5 year plan to improve and add additional
facilities. The 2002 Fair will begin Wednesday evening for open
class entries. Their budget request for 2002 is $77,500 to run the
Fair and finish projects. It includes $25,000 to finish the track
moving and expansion. In 2003 to 2007 it will be placed in an
escrow account for new Fair buildings.
In regard to fencing the Fair and charging admission, Sullwold said
it would cost $150,000 to $200,000 to fence in 40 acres and people
would have to be hired to monitor the gates. Krueger will donate
his next per diem check to the Fair Board.
Health and Human Services: Chair Bob Stephens, Director John Borup,
Nursing Home Administrator Carolyn Krieger, Accounting Supervisor
Judy Ziegler and Board member Einar Horne present.
The budget request is $4,208,667 which is a $523,565 increase. An
additional $222,908 for Health Insurance increase funded at 1250
would need to be added. Borup said the budget has a 4% increase
including $664,936 for salary/fringe/step increases, new positions
at $32,606, increased maintenance costs of $85,041 and State
Institutional costs increases of 12 to 14% with no additional State
funding.
The Deputy Director would work on getting more revenue. Stephens
said the Director works 60 hours a week and someone is needed to
take over if the Director is not available during vacations and sick
leave. The cost for a Deputy Director to start July 1, 2002 is
$27,697.
Borup recommended H&HS continue to administer the W-2 program
because we can bill off in-house expenses such as Director Judy
Ziegler, W-2 director and three or four staff. The County costs
would increase if we do not administer W-2. If staff is cut and
caseloads increased, there is a cost savings right away but in the
long run out-of-home costs for children, mentally disabled, etc.
increase dramatically.
Horne believes we should get rid of W-2. If the County doesn't
administer, some agency or private contractor will be found to run
it. The request for 2002 is $79,357. Borup said the County Board
would have to vote on eliminating W-2. Seven counties have and
there are problems. Stephens commented if private contractors
cannot administer it, the State mandates Counties to run it.
Borup noted the courtyard addition is to facilitate moving the
collections staff to the front area of the building. It is not
easily accessible to clients where it is now. Stephens said people
2
Finance Budget Review Sept. 25,26,27, 2001
leave without paying or leaving insurance information and the costs
are not in the budget presented.
Whiting said farmland use should be reviewed to increase revenues
for county programs.
Nursing Home: O'Connell said the County Board will get a report on
Oct. 9 and direction is needed from the Board. Stephens indicated
the Nursing Home Study Comm. will meet on Oct. 1 for the last time
and then will present options to the County Board on the 9th. The
County budget allocation requested is $1,000,000 plus increased
health insurance. The Nursing Home Comm. will give a recommendation
to the full Board. O'Connell objected to a recommendation from the
Committee. The Board will decide in November or December on Nursing
Home options. Swenson said the home would be run for one year no
matter what decision is made.
Borup said the census averaged 92 this year and budget is based on a
93 census average.
Krieger outlined the levels of care - private pay, medicare and
medical assistance residents. MA controls payments and sometimes
takes 18 months for reimbursement. In the IGT program the Federal
money was turned over to the State and the State decided to keep it
to balance the budget. Private pay charges have increased $5 a day
in the last several years. The Nursing Home charges are competitive
in the area along the river; less expensive than the Twin Cities but
higher than the rural homes. Ninety percent of the census is St.
Croix County residents.
The estimated cash decrease for 2001 is ($352,295). Salary and
fringes make up 78% of the budget.
Krueger excused at 1:30 p.m.
Emergency Management: Chair Chuck Mehls and Director Jack Colvard
present. Mehls indicated the Amateur Radio antennas can be removed
because the amateur radio group disbanded. Motion by Swenson, 2nd by
Bieraugel to remove $700. Carried.
Discussion on the defibrillator costing $2,200. Mehls said this
would be used at the Government Center and a 4 hour training session
would be provided. The County has no liability under the Good
Samaritan statute. O'Connell was concerned about other county
employees located at Highway, Health Center and Ag. Center not
having access to a defibrillator. Mehls said training would be
provided by WITC and Colvard has training money in the budget:.
3
Finance Budget Review Sept. 25,26,27, 2001
Motion by Swenson, 2nd by Dorsey to remove $1000 from Emergency
Exercise line item. Carried.
Emergency Communication: Chair Mehls and Director Gary Kollman
present. Mehls indicated the $22,000 budgeted for a storage
facility for the Comm van could be removed. Mehls said Maintenance
is considering new storage, the impound lot needs to be improved and
the plan should include storage for the Comm van.
Motion by Swenson, 2nd by Bieraugel to remove $22,000 from building
outlay and place $1200 for rental storage in the appropriate line
item. Carried. Reduction of $20,800.
Kollman said the PBX for Van phone system could probably be used one
more year. Motion by Dorsey, 2nd by Bieraugel to remove $3,300 for
PBX. Carried.
Motion by Bieraugel, 2nd by Swenson to remove PC in Comm Center for
$3,000. Carried.
Krueger returned at 2:25 p.m. Kollman said if the four part time
were made full time, overtime costs would be eliminated and would be
a wash for cost. The Technical Lead Tele-Communicator would have to
be reinstated at a cost of $50,000. Consensus of committee was to
leave staffing as is for this year.
St. Croix County Library Funding: Kathy Setter, Deer Park Librarian
present. Loney said the request this year is $516,074. Last year
libraries within the County were paid the higher of Act 150 or
previous allocations made by the County. Setter encouraged the same
formula for payment this year. Consensus of Committee is to refer
to County Board with no changes. Bieraugel offered to pick up books
for the Jail Library.
O'Connell excused at 3:00 p.m.; Vice Chair Swenson conducting.
Planning, Zoning and Parks: Committee members Clarence Malick, Art
Jensen, Einar Horne; Parks Director Joe Grant and Assistant Dave
Larson and County Planning Director Dave Fodroczi present.
Planning: Fodroczi said staff worked with four Towns this year and
plan on 3 or 4 more next year to develop a comprehensive growth plan
which is required by Statute. Towns can get a grant for 50% of cost
and staff helps Towns get grants. Towns reimburse for staff costs.
If Towns do on their own, cost is about $40,000 and is cut to
$20,000 using County staff.
Real Property: Fodroczi noted operating supplies for assessors and
clerks distributed by Real Property office was a separate budget
4
Finance Budget Review Sept. 25,26,27, 2001
that has been eliminated. Costs have been placed in the Real
Property budget and the Treasurer has included related supplies in
that budget.
Recycling: Fodroczi said this is a non levy account. Recycling
director was contracted in prior years but now will be funded by
tipping fee collections. Tipping fees increased from $.30 per ton
to $3.00 per ton.
Hazardous Waste: No changes.
Regional Planning: County membership fee this year is $49,533 which
is based on set mill rate in regard to real estate evaluation.
Land Records: Fodroczi indicated this is segregated funds supported
by recording fees set by Statute. The $4.00 fee was raised to $5.00
with the $1 to be used for better public access to land records.
zoning: Administrator Steve Fisher noted $60,975 was included in
Other Contractual Services for a septic system inspector. Over 800
permits have been issued with only one full time person to conduct
the inspections. Other counties have 4 or 5 inspectors. This
person will be funded by the budget and increase in fees.
Discussion on raising fees and the benefits to developers. Fisher
said the county has the highest fees in the area and the slowest
service. Whiting suggested an hourly rate for each inspection and
Malick commented good inspections protect people other than the
homeowner.
Swenson said the budget stands unless Committee notifies you
otherwise. Fisher was asked to check the merits of charging
developers the actual costs for surveying.
Parks: Grant, Larson, Project Manager Pete Kling and Donna Seim
from Friends of Perch Lake present. Grant said the levy was
$937,932 and after cuts made to Phases II and III, the levy request
is $713,000. Bonestroo will not be used for Phase III and the bid
received to complete Phase II was too high and will be re-bid next
year.
Swenson asked Kling about the value of opening the Park on August
15. Kling said it could be used the remainder of August, September
and October and for cross country skiing in the winter. An August
15 opening would help the Friends of Perch Lake's fundraiser for the
Visitors Center. More cuts would mean the Park would not open next
year.
5
Finance Budget Review Sept. 25,26,27, 2001
Grant said the Phase III grants will not be available. Whiting
noted the $85,000 loan made from last year could be covered with
other options such as this year's Contingency Fund and the money
could be borrowed to finish the project.
Swenson said there are three choices - debt financing, delay the
opening of the Park or proceed with the plan.
Register of Deeds: Kay Walsh said the increase in salaries is due to
budgeting for 8 hour days rather than 7 hours and budget includes
part time help. There is a 51% increase in document filings.
Committee recessed at 5:00 p.m. until 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
September 26: Called to order at 8:40 a.m. by Chair O'Connell. All
members and staff present.
Public Protection: Chair Julie Speer and Committee members Esther
Wentz, Tom Rose, Bob Gunderson and Chuck Mehls present.
Medical Examiner: Speer said there has been an increase in salaries
and on call charges. Wentz noted there were 800 cremations last
year.
Child Support: Reference was made to letter sent by Assistant
Corporation Counsel Don Gillen regarding placing Child Support
supervision under Corporation Counsel office and eliminating the
Director position. Speer said the letter had merit but should have
come to the Public Protection Committee. Speer sent a letter to
Child Support staff requesting input on this proposal. Applications
for the Child Support Administrator have already been received.
Sheriff's Department: Sheriff Hillstead, First Deputy Ron Volkert,
Patrol Captain Robert Klanderman and Administrative Secretary Mary
Martell present. Discussion on overtime costs. Sheriff said more
overtime is used early in the year due to concerts and river
activities. The request is less for 2002 because two new patrol
officer positions should alleviate some overtime. A more probable
figure would be adding $50,000 for a total of $229,176. The
$140,100 for gas should be $160,000.
Of the 17 new vehicles requested, 9 are squads and 8 are unmarked
cars. There are 36 total vehicles in the Sheriff's fleet.
Klanderman said 2 cars were cut last year and now trade in is $1500
rather than $5000.
Swenson asked if Clerk of Court gets video conferencing equipment
would transport costs for the Sheriff's Dept. be less. Sheriff said
the transport budget was not cut due to many unknowns.
6
Finance Budget Review Sept. 25,26,27, 2001
Sheriff has requested two new positions due to growth in population,
increased traffic flow and increased calls. Municipalities over
5,000 population are required to have law enforcement coverage.
Under that number, the County Dept. has to cover. Klanderman said
better patrol means less burglary. Rose said it is difficult to
predict overtime because environmental conditions such as bad winter
weather can't be predicted.
Jail: Jail Captain Karen Humphrey present. Swenson asked why the
overtime total for 6 months was more than 70% of what was budgeted.
Sheriff said there is a lot of turn over which has been unusually
high this year. Humphrey said turn over is not due to pay because
the County is high in the area and State. Most Jail staff do not
want to have a career in Jail corrections.
O'Connell asked how much the County is mandated for medical service.
Humphrey replied any County has to provide medical, dental or
psychological treatment. The Jail contracts with H&HS for some of
these services.
Sheriff reported the budget includes 29 more cameras for the Jail
areas not presently covered. The wiring for the cameras needs to go
in at one time and this is the most costly part. He is going to
meet with Ayres to get cost of study for Huber addition. The usual
cost is $110 a square foot but may be more if an addition is made to
the present building. If a separate building is built, it must be
fully staffed. No out-of-county residents are taken for Huber.
Committee requested the Sheriff to look at the impound lot, storage
for Comm van, Huber and juvenile detention addition.
Sheriff Hillstead explained the Jail Assessment Fund and proper use
such as buildings, additions, improvements to Jail or part of real
estate. There is presently $225,000 in the fund.
Supr. Horne recommended use of home monitors for Huber inmates.
Cost is $4.50 per day to monitor and Huber people are charged $15.00
per day. Suggested spending one-half time in jail and one-half time
on home monitoring. Hillstead thinks monitoring is a short term
solution.
District Attorney: Office Manager Jane Ebensen Moore present,.
Committee requested a reduction on cost of letterhead and paper
budgeted. Moore will check on phones and coding with Facilities
Manager Ralph Robole.
Victim Witness: Director Ann Gustafson present. No changes.
7
Finance Budget Review Sept. 25,26,27, 2001
UW-Extension: Chair Chris Bethke, member Art Jensen and Kim Reaman
office chair present. Reaman explained the budget requests includes
a one day a week Horticultural agent to handle individual calls.
The two day a week Hort agent could devote more time to commercial
garden owners.
Bethke commented the Master Gardener program has increased
participation and the Hort agent is working to re-establish the
orchard at the farm in New Richmond. The fruit will be given to the
food shelves. Krueger thanked Bethke for the success of the
Community Garden and donations to the food shelves.
Land and Water Conservation: Chair Art Jensen and County
Conservationist Bob Heise present. Heise explained some additional
expenses this year are Cedar Creek flume repair, warning system
installed on Dam #7 in Glen Hills Watershed, a professional services
contract for information and education programs and repair for pipe
separation on structures 3,4,5,7 and 8 which will be reimbursed by
NRCS. Levy dollars increased from $230,651 in 2001 to $313,259 in
2002.
Discussion on flume repair and liability to the County.
Actions on Budget: After adding in increased Health Insurance costs
and error on private pay revenue, the levy now stands at $17,867,000
which is $4,165,000 more than last year. This equals a 4.12 per
$1000 mill rate which is a difference of $52.50 per $100,000 over
what was paid last year assuming property value remains the same.
The 2002 has $250,000 budgeted for Contingency Fund.
Sheriff: Motion by Swenson, 2nd by Krueger to delete $62,400 for
cameras and convey to Public Protection to pay this from the Jail
Assessment Fund. Carried.
Motion by Krueger, 2nd by Swenson to remove $5,000 for boat escrow
from Sheriff's budget. Carried.
Child Support: Discussion on proposal regarding Child Support
Administrator. Bieraugel likes new ideas presented in order to save
tax dollars.
Department on Aging: Increased in some line items but total levy
increase is $2300. No changes.
Highway: Motion by Swenson, 2nd by Krueger to approve Highway budget
as presented on September 7th plus appropriate adjustment for health
insurance. Carried.

Vice Chair Swenson conducted the remainder of the meeting.

ECHO computer update for a $300,000 savings.
