2002 BUDGET
Regional Planning Fodroczi presented the requested budget indicating that the calculations for
annual contributions to West Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission are based on a
uniform mill rate applied to real estate valuation in the County. Budget totals of $49,533.00
were approved by motion by Malick, second by Jensen and carried.
Planning Fodroczi presented his budget to the Committee. A request for a significant change in
staff development line item was addressed. The National Planning Conference will be held in
Chicago in 2002. He would like Denzer, Budrow and himself to attend this once -in -a- career
opportunity. Malick suggested a County presentation at the conference. Planning budget does not
have final figures at this time. Personnel costs for Fodroczi himself will be reduced 5% in Land
Records Budget, adding to the Planning budget. Fodroczi will have the maintenance cost of the
large format copier on August 14"'. Postage budget will go up due to work with the Town plans,
but this will generate revenue as well. Request for new color laser printer is due to high
maintenance costs and low productivity of existing printer. The proposed budget includes a
copier with a ledger size paper drawer to better serve mapping requests. Fodroczi would like to
replace his PC with a laptop. The Committee was satisfied with the budget, pending final costs of
the maintenance agreement for the map copier.
Real Property Fodroczi indicated line item 3440 (Operating Supplies) has a separate line for
forms. The amount was transferred from a previously separate budget that will be eliminated to
the Real Property budget. This was not part of the Real Property budget until this year. Fodroczi
asked to postpone action on this budget as the Real Property Lister is on vacation and may need
to look at replacing a printer.
Economic Development Corporation President Jerry Brandt and Executive Director Bill Rubin
addressed the Committee. A presentation will be given in the near future. Comments by the
Committee were accepted. Everything will be ready for the last budget meeting. Brandt thanked
the County for its continued support.
Zoning A discussion was held concerning a position divided between Land and Water
Conservation and Zoning budgets. A contracted septic inspector position was discussed along
with increased budget, fee increases or reduced service. Staff will present options at next budget
meeting.

Register of Deeds Walsh presented a rough draft of her budget. After review, some equipment
and software items appeared to belong in the capital outlay plan. She will review and adjust. A
forecast of revenue will be made. The Committee and Walsh had a discussion concerning the
public access for real estate information. The Committee advised Walsh to amortize no longer
than three years on the Internet access project. The Committee requested that they review the
plan before it is implemented. Staff hours will be increased on a volunteer basis to eight hour
days.The 2002 budget includes an eight hour working day for all employees. Part-time help is
included in the budget.
Parks Kling addressed the Committee on Homestead Parklands. Only one contractor bid on
Phase III and it was far above the engineer's estimate. The engineer recommended "value
engineering" analysis, as well as re- bidding it this winter. Kling showed estimated 2002
expenditures of $474,166. Grants comprise only $4,000 of it. The Committee requested that he
come back with an improved estimate of the minimum that the park can survive with in 2002.
All Parks budgets were reviewed. They will be revised for the next meeting.
The next budget meeting will be August 6, 2001 at 2:30 p.m. Adjourned at 5:15 p.m. kk qt (ct, ci _____
