Bids will be accepted for all five areas. Grant contacted Diggers Hotline to locate the natural gas and electric line. Sherri Buss, from Bonestroo, received permission from two adjoining neighbors to walk on their property to review areas for screen plantings. Native plants that were chosen for the screen plantings are hazelnut, sumac, chokecherries, viburnum, aspen and oak. A thank you was sent to the O'Connell's and the Clubb's by Bonestroo. Bids will be taken for the work. Pete Kling cut foxtail and did some mowing at the site. Park Manager Report Bacteria were found in the campground well at Glen Hills. Grant chlorinated again. The State will retest today. Grant suspects the holding tank, which is about 150 feet away. The Committee advised Grant to have the tank inspected and monitor.

Development Management Plan The Town of Pleasant Valley is reviewing the LESA system for their own purposes with their town planning committee. The Planning, Zoning, Land&Water and Extension staff will meet with the Town Chairman tomorrow afternoon to organize the process over the next few weeks. They are expecting rezoning applications this fall for a couple of large agricultural parcels. Their goal is to develop a way to better evaluate potential rezonings. Pleasant Valley will be the first town to try this program. Fodroczi will keep the committee informed. Fodroczi and Denzer met last evening with a committee of the Town of St. Joseph that is working on a conservation design ordinance. They reviewed the process and the product that we had in drafting a similar zoning ordinance. Fodroczi sees this as a great opportunity for the county to work with them to further develop our final language while they are working on theirs. The Town of Somerset is also interested. Fodroczi will keep the committee informed. Smart Growth A chart on Comprehensive Planning Grant scoring methodology based on WI Stats. Sec.16.965 (4)was reviewed. Fodroczi indicated that the 50% of the base funding would be matched. This will be informally done in 2000-2001. The emphasis for county projects is on multiple jurisdictions working together, particularly local governments in adjoining towns. The Town of Warren applied individually and was denied. The challenge for additional staff will be to have the towns up and running. We will not have problems finding candidates. We still have a lot of work to do to finalize the Zoning Ordinance. 2 County Properties The County Board Chair appointed a committee to look at county properties. The Planning Staff will also be part of the committee to scope the issues. Tom O'Connell, Jack Dowd, Ralph Swenson and Jack Breault will look at the Hudson property.

Proposals are due back on September 29`h and will be reviewed for a couple of weeks. Malick will work with Fodroczi to help finalize the contract selection. Fodroczi is targeting the start of the project by the first of November. New Position/2001 Budget Fodroczi reviewed the adjusted budget figures for the Land Information Program and the Planning Program with the Committee, which includes the new position for Planner/GIS Specialist.
