PARK BUSINESS Bills and Invoices Motion by Malick, second by Larson to approve Park bills totaling $25,376.10, carried. Homestead Parklands Chair Raymond would like a report that the Committee can understand on monies spent on the park. The report should be very brief and concise. Kling, Grant and Dave Larson will meet on the subject tomorrow. Some small items are not completed such as the playground border. We will wait until spring to do the black- topping because heavy equipment is still being used. Final plans for Phase II will io to the DNR on Wednesday, July 18th. The Public comment period will begin on July 26 . Permits for erosion control, beach development and the fishing pier will be applied for this week. Kling was told that the DNR would fast -track the permits. Barley straw will be put in the infiltration basin by the cabin in the spring and left for about two years for algae control. The deadline for the contractors is May 15, 2002. The beach development should be done by that date also. A handicap access will be created for the beach development. Lavane Hessler has approved the plan. Capital Outlay Plan A revision by the Parks Department on the plan was submitted. Grant said the cost status column is ranked 1 -4, "One" being an exact bid and "Four" being a vague amount. The Committee questioned Grant about the item marked "buy parklands" and requested a change. The money is a different "kind of money" and cannot be used for anything except the purchase of land and park improvements from fees collected. Chair Raymond emphasized the importance of segregating that money. Park Reorganization The new position requests have been forwarded to Personnel. Brief discussion on the reorganization. The Personnel Committee will meet on July 18"` to review personnel requests. W ildwood Trail -FEMA Grant has been informed that we will receive $7,147.00 from FEMA. The Federal share is seventy five percent, twelve and one -half percent from County funds and twelve and one -half percent from the State. The hole by the bridge on the Wildwood Trail is approximately six feet deep and may need additional rip- rapping and planking. Ninety percent of the work is completed. Troy Park -FEMA The approved cost is $14,144.00 for restoration work. We may not get approval of the flood hazard mitigation project (HMP) without showing a cost - benefit analysis. The mitigation team will decide the outcome. If FEMA approval is granted we will need a DNR Chapter 30 Permit. Park Manager's Report The playground equipment at Glen Hills is installed. Good comments were received. The heated shop is nearing completion. The electricity, plumbing and heating needs to be done. The new wood shed is complete except for electricity. The Committee decided to tour Glen Hills Park today while on the rezoning tour. Recessed at 10:15a.m. Resumed at 10:20 a.m. PLANNING BUSINESS Bills and Invoices The Revenue Report of $1,095.79 was reviewed. Planning Bills for the month of June are $14,963.17. Motion to approve that amount was made by Malick, seconded by Jensen and carried. Town Plans Fodroczi reported lots of activity. Pleasant Valley is having a town picnic on July 15` A town planning kick -off meeting is scheduled for July 25 A special meeting will be held in August to formalize a Town Planning Commission. The Town of Hammond is getting organized to build a new town hall by fall. The Town Planning Committee would like to delay a kick -off meeting, so it can be held in the new town hall. Jim Janke and Brett Budrow met with town officials last evening on the Planning Commission structure. Rush River is regrouping after the Chairman of the Planning Committee resigned. They also have a new Town chairman and board member. A meeting with Erin Prairie is scheduled for July 11 Denzer has met with Stanton and will do so again in August. Town of Baldwin met and is anxious to move forward. Three villages may work together as well. Fodroczi felt the towns are motivated because of things happening in their respective communi- ties. State regulations are part of their motivation, so the interest is two -fold. They have been very 2 open and co- operative. Census/Redistricting Denzer informed the Committee that a lot of changes have been made. The Town of Hudson, New Richmond, Roberts and Somerset have had many annexations to consider. The City of Hudson and the County need to work out the aldermanic lines by the July 22nd deadline. Denzer held two workshops, but only nine representatives of the Towns attended out of twenty - one persons. She met with the majority of those that did not attend last week to review their concerns and requests. The final Redistricting Committee meeting is scheduled for July 27` The final drafts will go to the County Board for public hearing in August and adoption in September. Parcel Mapping Conversion Budrow is working day to day on the conversion process. Fodroczi informed the Committee that the project manager changed, although the original person will continue to oversee quality control for the project. He assured the Committee that it was more a "shifting of chairs" than new people. Budrow has sent Cylon, Stanton, Glenwood and Emerald to SDS. All mylar half section maps have been scanned and are ready to be sent to the vendor. The pilot project in the final format will be received shortly. A suggestion was made to share a booth at the County Fair July 20 -22 with Land and Water Conservation. Fodroczi agreed to check with Bob Heise for available space to show the GIS system. Land Information Program Fodroczi alerted the Committee that our main software is going through an upgrade process. Computer Services will be reviewing equipment. Licensing for the system has changed, which will save money. Fodroczi will form a users group with Budrow being involved in the process. We currently have multiple departments on three different sites using the system, and organization of a user group will help each other. Fodroczi has been tracking an adjustment to our Land Records funds in the budget bill. The funding allocation has changed a little. We would now retain $5.00 per document, instead of $4.00 per document in the Register of Deeds Office. The Realtor's Association has been successful in the legislature in saying how to use that money. They would like ready access to sales and housing data which is generated in the Register of Deed's Office. We may not know until late October on the State budget. With the changes in software we will still be able to maintain our old projects. Real Property Lister Report Fodroczi reported that staff are in the middle of processing the work rolls and assessment rolls for the Board of Review. We are still waiting for work rolls from ten communities. Timing has been great for processing and the flow is better than usual. Fodroczi added that our temporary staff was increased to half -time hours. He has heard more than once from the staff the value of the additional support. Malick questioned Fodroczi if the delay by the communities has caused overtime pay in the past and if we have a mechanism to charge costs to them. Fodroczi stated that any extra hours have been adequately handled with compensatory time. 3 2002 Budget Fodroczi stated that budget instructions were received June 22 °d . Fodroczi indicated the need to think about a budget meeting for all departments. Budget due date is August 17 . After brief discussion, a budget meeting was scheduled for August 1 at 1:00 p.m. Capital Outlay Plan Our Capital Outlay Plan will be formatted soon. Other Business We have received a notice of a transportation study for State Highway 65. The Department of Transportation has hired Ayres Associates to do traffic analysis from I -94 to Highway 12 and potential by -pass routes east of Roberts. They will also do a study of STH 3 5 from I -94 to River Falls for possible freeway design and overpass changes. Waste water treatment expansion on those corridors will also be reviewed. ZONING BUSINESS Town of Star Prairie Escrow, Funds Fisher received a request to add chain link fence and parking lot for $12,890.00 to be paid to the Town of Star Prairie from the Escrow Funds. Motion by Jensen, second by Larson to approve payment. Motion carried. Municipal PlatsNine Hills /City of Hudson The County is an objecting authority for municipal plats.
