FOR THE YEAR 2000
Resolution No. / q (Tql
St. Croix County, Wisconsin
WHEREAS, the annual budget process provides County departments the mechanism for
requesting new positions; and
WHEREAS, requests for new positions outside the budget process are strongly
disfavored; however predicting the future is an inexact undertaking; and
WHEREAS, the Finance Committee and Personnel Committee recommend a freeze on
requests for new or upgraded positions for the year 2000, except as set out below, as one way to
achieve the County Board's goal of holding down property taxes of St. Croix County residents, to
maintain the integrity of the County budget process, to emphasize the need for departments to
plan for future needs, and to reduce reliance on the contingency fund.
THEREFORE, be it resolved by the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors that a freeze
is hereby imposed on any requests for new or upgraded positions for the year 2000 after the
County Board adopts the budget for the year 2000, unless the position: (1) is funded from a
source other than property taxes; (2) produces revenue; (3) becomes necessary as a result of a
department /office reorganization; (4) becomes a substantial necessity as a result of unforseen
circumstances.
