Child Support : Director Lynn Holmes explained the department is reimbursed 66% of all direct and indirect costs . Better 1 U UNG-i"'FlOiAL R performance brings in additional revenue; this department is at 65% compared to the state at 55% . In 1999 $485 , 445 was brought into the General Fund and it cost $378, 535 to operate the Child Support office. They had $7 . 79 million in collections through August 2000 . Holmes explained the increase in other professional services was due to the MN Department on Economic Security now charging for wage detail services . Sheriff : Sheriff Hillstead, Chief Deputy Ron Volkert, Patrol L Captain Bob Klanderman, Jail Captain Karen Humphrey, Administrative Assistant Mary Martell and Committee member Tom Rose and Supr. Mary Louise Olson present . Sheriff has applied for grant money for the investigator but has no guarantee of this money. The Jail Assessment Fund cannot be used. The Polk, Pierce and St . Croix Drug Fund can be used for overtime and equipment . There will be additional revenue of $22 , 000 for concert fees and $15, 000 for DOT grant . Sheriff Hillstead said a new boat is needed. Plans are to sell the old one outright rather than a trade in. Estimate to repair old boat is $24, 000 . Four bids were received and $38, 000 was U the best deal . DNR will reimburse 65% over a five-year period. The County gets 50% of citation fines and $19, 000 has been collected this year.

Office supplies increased due to requirement of giving a form to every victim. More citation books are needed. Sheriff Hillstead said he, along with the County Board, has the responsibility to provide the highest level of service to 2 ONOFFICIAL RECORD citizens of the County. Citation totals for 1999 were 4, 869 and 7, 000 are expected this year. The Towns want more service and more coverage . Jail : Karen Humphrey said rental from INS in Minnesota was lost to a US Marshal Service in MN because their jail was not full and INS was ordered take inmates there . The State of WI boot camp residents used to come to the County Jail for a three day to a _- week stay but now only stay overnight . Other Counties are building new jails and do not need to rent space . The Jail has contracted for 25 female inmates that must be returned to the State. Humphrey said the County Jail is required to provide medical services . There is 42 . 5% increase in medical services partially due to any inmate transferred must have a nurse consultation. Swenson and Rose asked if we are losing money renting beds due to medical costs . Humphrey said county inmates create the medical charges; out of county inmates are reimbursed. A new Huber officer would eliminate $12 , 000 of overtime. Humphrey noted the high turnover is due to new police science grads wanting to go on the road.

Borup said wages and fringes are the big item in the budget . The Health Insurance increases due to employees paying less of the premium. In looking beyond 2001 Borup said the census needs to improve and the Nursing Home industry is at risk. The Home will need County funds for the next 3 to 5 years . There is a need to operate the home to provide more specialized care. If 34 special care people were sent elsewhere, the cost would be $600 per day to the County. We should have a joint meeting with H&HS and Finance to develop a future plan. The budget request for 2001 is $530, 382 . 4 UNOFFICIAL RECORD Long Term Support : Coodinator Ron Lockwood explained this program and the various programs it covers including the Sheltered Workshop.

The block grant funding to H&HS has remained the same for several years . To counteract this emphasis has been placed on increased revenues through collections and fewer therapy days have been bought . Kiesler said the Accounts Receivable department needs to be closer to the front door so clients can provide insurance information before they see a therapist . The farm money of $45, 000 is budgeted for this item. The Intoxicated Driver program, he was sorry to say, is booming. Kiesler thanked the Committee for their fairness and respect .

Warner expressed appreciation for the help from the County Board. Swingle showed the area of the land purchased in 1998 where the Board would like to move the tractor pull, mud bog, and truck pull events .

They are behind in equipment replacement due to planning for a new Somerset Highway Shop. The department gets $1, 000, 000 in General Transportation Aid which is the gas tax refund. 6 UNOFFICIAL RECORD Discussion on increase in Surveyor costs . Fedderly advised when the Highway Dept . took over the position, they were expected to do usual county survey work. The Zoning Office has increased requests because of subdivisions, plats and certified survey maps relative to zoning and development . The Surveyor also reviews and approves the developer' s road plans . There is no time for regular work such as GPS and monumentation. Developers pay $500 fee for review and some do a poor job to get their money' s worth. Fedderly said we need to give incentive to developers such as charge per hour for review and they will do a better job. Transportation is working with Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee to charge developers per hour for plat review, subdivision maps and certified survey maps . Fedderly was asked to check with other vendors to reduce cost per month for cell phone usage. Dan said absorbing wage increases with no levy could be a problem if there is lots of snow. One storm could cost $70, 000 to $100, 000 . King commented trying to keep the mill rate the same or lower hurts the County. He has collected taxes for 30 years and people do not look at the County' s assessment . The County has more people who need more services .

The U. S . Post Office in Hudson would offer the passport service . Land and Water Conservation: Chair Art Jensen, Committee member Ron Raymond and County Conservationist Bob Heise present . Loney asked why every program has some county levy this year. Heise said this is only for the liability insurance charged to each account . This department is the sponsor for running money through the program. Money allocated to the County for cost sharing is the landowners . Only cost to the county is liability insurance. Heise reorganized the office and took a State funded position and moved it to a County position to work on environmental issues at the large dairy farms . The two interns have been in place the last 3-4 years - one could be reimbursed and one is needed for watershed work. For the work study person, the county pays $1 . 75 per hour.

Staff present: Administrative Coordinator Chuck Whiting, Finance Director Rich Loney, Corporation Counsel Greg Timmerman and County Clerk Sue Nelson (7 :10 a.m. ) . General Comments: With the present budgets submitted, the levy increase was 23 .4% . The average daily population in the Jail is dropping due to lower jail rental and Huber. Project revenues have decreased for 2001 to $1, 162 , 000 but overtime costs are projected to increase by $10, 000 for 2001 . O'Connell said in order to maintain the present mill rate of 3 .58, we need to take $1 .3 million out of the budgets . He suggested removing all new positions and addressing them during individual budget review. Loney suggested looking at non levy funds, such as Jail - Assessment and Drug Fund for some projects like the jail cameras. Loney also noted Perch Lake budget has a levy amount of $243 ,433 . Health and Human services a $993 , 000 levy request for 2001 and the Nursing Home $606, 382 . Whiting said the Contingency Fund should be used for totally unanticipated expenses, not for anticipated expenses . There is $250, 000 in the Contingency Fund for 2001 budget at the present . Krueger said the Administrative Coordinator' s Secretary' s salary should be listed in Department 12 and not part of Workers ' Comp. Motion by Swenson, 2nd by Bieraugel to take out the temporary help positions that were denied by Personnel Committee. Carried. Discussion on Clerk of Court not issuing passports if temporary help is denied which was referred to Personnel Committee. Motion by Swenson, 2nd by Bieraugel that new positions remain unless Finance wishes to remove them after Department Heads presentation. Roll call : Swenson-yes; Bieraugel-yes; Dorsey-yes; O'Connell-no; Krueger-no. Carried 3 to 2 . Public Protection: Chair Julie Speer, member Esther Wentz present . 1 Sheriff Hillstead said he, along with the County Board, has the responsibility to provide the highest level of service to citizens of the County. Citation totals for 1999 were 4, 869 and 7, 000 are expected this year. The Towns want more service and more coverage. Jail : Karen Humphrey said rental from INS in Minnesota was lost to a US Marshal Service in MN because their jail was not full and INS was ordered take inmates there. The State of WI boot camp residents used to come to the County Jail for a three day to a week stay but now only stay overnight . Other Counties are building new jails and do not need to rent space. The Jail has contracted for 25 female inmates that must be returned to the State. Humphrey said the County Jail is required to provide medical. services . There is 42 . 5% increase in medical services partially due to any inmate transferred must have a nurse consultation. Swenson and Rose asked if we are losing money renting beds due to medical costs . Humphrey said county inmates create the medical charges; out of county inmates are reimbursed. A new Huber officer would eliminate $12, 000 of overtime. Humphrey noted the high turnover is due to new police science grads wanting to go on the road. They do not want to make a career of Corrections . In our County a person has to work in the jail before they are eligible to go on the road. Hillstead said the new washer and dryer are coin operated, heavy duty and should last 15 years . Cost is $3900 . Huber people are responsible for laundry of their clothes. The CERT (Correctional Emergency Response Team) equipment would be used inside the jail to extract a prisoner or stop a riot without using lethal weapons . Cost is $16, 000 . Bieraugel commented on $2000 budgeted for the jail library and asked if donations could be pursued. Wentz said people who donate books give what they don't want . Rose indicated the present relationship of the levy and mill rate would mean a $58 tax increase on a $200, 000 home. District Attorney: Office Manager Jane Ebenson Moore and Victim Witness Coordinator Ann Gustafson present . District Attorney Eric Johnson arrived later. 3 Long Term Support : Coodinator Ron Lockwood explained this program and the various programs it covers including the Sheltered Workshop. The total request from Health and Human Services is $3, 933 , 989 which is a $1 million increase over last year. Borup suggested the use of pool cars which can operate at $ . 10 a mile, 20, 000 miles per year and can keep the car 4 to 5 years. O'Connell asked if it would be possible for a $300, 000 overall budget reduction. Borup will review the budget and try to find this amount . Mental Health, Alchohol and Drug Abuse: Coordinator Ron Keisler, who is also the Acting Director when Borup is absent, said 1999 and 2000 were record years for emergency detentions. The block grant funding to H&HS has remained the same for several years. To counteract this emphasis has been placed on increased revenues through collections and fewer therapy days have been bought . Kiesler said the Accounts Receivable department needs to be closer to the front door so clients can provide insurance information before they see a therapist . The farm money of $45, 000 is budgeted for this item. The Intoxicated Driver program, he was sorry to say, is booming. Kiesler thanked the Committee for their fairness and respect . Health and Human Services will report at the October 10 Finance meeting. Committee recessed to 8 : 00 a.m. , September 27 . Wednesday, September 27 : Meeting called to order at 8 : 00 a.m. by Chair O'Connell . All members and staff present . Motion by Krueger, 2nd by Bieraugel to remove all new positions approved by Personnel Committee at this time. Carried. Bieraugel requested Department Heads complete a survey on County committee structure to give some ideas to Administration Committee. From the Sheriff, she would also like specs for the new boat, justification for new programs and equipment and a list of cars, year and mileage . She suggested possibly delaying some requests until 2002 . 5 Discussion on increase in Surveyor costs . Fedderly advised when the Highway Dept . took over the position, they were expected to do usual county survey work. The Zoning Office has increased requests because of subdivisions, plats and certified survey maps relative to zoning and development . The Surveyor also reviews and approves the developer' s road plans. There is no time for regular work such as GPS and monumentation. Developers pay $500 fee for review and some do a poor job to get their money' s worth. Fedderly said we need to give incentive to developers such as charge per hour for review and they will do a better job. Transportation is working with Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee to charge developers per hour for plat review, subdivision maps and certified survey maps. Fedderly was asked to check with other vendors to reduce cost per month for cell phone usage. Dan said absorbing wage increases with no levy could be a problem if there is lots of snow. One storm could cost $70, 000 to $100, 000 . King commented trying to keep the mill rate the same or lower hurts the County. He has collected taxes for 30 years and people do not look at the County' s assessment . The County has more people who need more services . Register of Deeds: Kay Walsh said salaries are reduced because of no office aid this year and she budgeted for 7 . 5 hours per day rather than 8 . Walsh offered to reduce hours of extra time from 520 to 200 . The new docutrac and scanner system has been - implemented. The revenue of the department covers the operating expenses . Number of documents filed is down by 800 so far this year. The total should be close to last year' s . The State gets 800 of the transfer fees. Bieraugel said WCA should be working to get more of this fee back to the Counties. Department on Aging: Director Sandy Gehrmann, Assistant Director and Council on Aging Chair Rich Peterson present . The budget has a 10 . 86% increase. Out of a fleet of 11 vehicles, one is assigned to each dining site. There is a paid driver for 4 days a week providing rides around town reserved by a call a day ahead. Volunteer drivers are used for out of town Dr. visits. Blaisdell said the department does fund raising to purchase vehicles . 7 with one more in the planning. Someone is needed to review conditions, water quality and keep the area environmentally safe. Raymond noted farmers are expanding and need some environmental controls and there is a need to get legally viable fees. Corporation Counsel Timmerman said a per head charge is not in compliance with the present Zoning Ordinance. Farmers are charged per lot for processing and zoning fees . The levy request for Land and Water is $230,652 and last year it was $175, 596 . UW-Extension: Office Chair Kim Reaman and Committee Chair Chris Bethke present . Reaman said some copy expense is reimbursed by other agencies in the Ag. Center. The Horticulture Agent is shared by three counties. Employee travel is up because of increased rates . The next day Reaman reported to the Committee that $7, 000 was included to increase the Family Living Agent to 85% time from 75%. So far the State has not matched the salary for full time hours . Parks: Director Joe Grant, Assistant Director Dave Larson, County Planner Ellen Denzer, committee members Linda Luckey, Jerry Larson and Ron Raymond and Friends of Perch Lake present . Grant said the DNR grant of $75, 000 was not approved for Glen Hills, Troy and Pine Lake Parks . The Stewardship Grant Phase II was lowered from $70, 000 to $50, 000 for Perch Lake. The Park Dedication fees were anticipated to be $45, 000 but will be $75, 000 the end of 2000 . For 2001 these fees are expected to be $130, 000 . The fees can' t be used to pay salaries or for maintenance but can be used for new development and acquisition such as playground equipment and new canoes . Raymond said this money would be used at Glen Hills Park. The present levy request is $607, 356 which is $1, 000 less than last year. A new brochure for Glen Hills and another to advertise all parks were budgeted at $14, 000 . Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee recommended a construction manager at Perch Lake costing $25, 000 . The consulting firm of Bonestroo is budgeted at $16, 000 for final design of Phase II . Grant said the Perch Lake Plan was adopted by the County Board in 1998 which was a 3 year plan to maximum funding. Total cost for 9 Discussion on new cameras for the Jail and the request to replace 39 and add 29 new cameras. Best said there is not much difference in price between black and white and color cameras but there is a big difference in monitors (color $586; black and white $163) . Replacement of 39 cameras and 10 color monitors would cost $51, 000 and 29 new cameras would be $59, 000 . Loney suggested replacing cameras as they fail . Use the Jail Assessment Fund in increments for replacement . Motion by Krueger, 2nd by Bieraugel to reduce the Maintenance budget by $110, 000 and use $35, 000 from the Jail Assessment fund for purchase and installation of 10 colored monitors and colored hardware . Coordinate installation with Maintenance . Carried. Krueger suggested checking with Twin City area hospitals for used generators . He asked if enclosure of the courtyard at the Health Center for offices was a good idea? Robole replied he didn't really know. Robole said humidification of the Ag. Center needed to be done at a cost of $5, 000 . O'Connell requested all building changes come through the Finance Committee first . Personnel: Director Deb Kathan said the $8, 000 in Other Professional Services was for the labor negotiator used for arbitration and grievances that need legal counsel . O' Connell asked if Corporation Counsel should know what is going on with grievances filed. Timmerman said the practice is in disagreement with Personnel . All legal matters should go through Corporation Counsel . Dorsey said Personnel has handled grievances through labor negotiator Steve Weld but this practice can change if you wish it to. Kathan explained the employee appreciation award banquet . Recruitment: Kathan said advertising rates have increased. It is harder to recruit in today' s job market . The Nursing Home has had a large turn over. The average recruitment of employees for the county is 150 to 200 per year. Whiting suggested using League of MN Municipalities weekly bulletin for advertising. Computer Services: Director Tom Boron said 10 hours for a total of $1500 of consulting fees could be removed from Other Professional Services. 11 Elections: Motion by Kreuger, 2nd by Bieraugel to recommend to tion machine County Board to loan one half elecref2 od from theGeneral municipalities interest free for one year pe Fund.
