Chair Standafer thanked Supr. Filipiak for his service on the
committee.
Chair Standafer also updated the committee on opening ceremonies
for the start of the Sesquicentenial celebration. The official
cutting of the State birthday cake, will be held May 29. Sandy
Koneman from Woodville and her husband Denny will be going to Madison for the festivities . The Governor has asked each County to
send a representative whose birthday is on May 29.
Supr, o' Connell felt that the Legislative Breakfasts which are held
periodically should be combined with Health & Human Service who
also meet with the Legislators. Krizek feels Health & Human
Service has enough issues to substantiate the separate meetings.
Review of Per Diem Payments for Non-Supervisors: The committee
discussed at great length whether the rules of the Board of
Supervisors also applies to non-supervisory members of standing
county committees. Supr, o'Connell stated that as long as he has
been a County Board Supervisor the same rules have always applied
to both. After 90 days the per diem is not paid to anyone. Supr.
Luckey felt that it was unfair to non-supervisors because they do not receive a copy of the rules and by-laws where this ruling is
written. Furthermore, the rules only mention "supervisor", not
non-supervisor.
Motion by G'Connell, 2nd by Filipiak to leave the rules unchanged.
No payment to anyone after the 90 days. More discussion followed.
Chair Standafer said "the rules are here and clear, but they need to apply to the non-supervisors as well." Standafer stated that
the Board rules identify standing committees and their memberships,
including citizen members, and therefore it is implicit in the
reimbursement rules that they apply to citizen members too. Rules
i ~ - ~ ,
need to be distributed to "all" members of committees. It was the
consensus of the committee members, Krizek, Loney and Timmerman
that a number of areas in the rules and by-laws need to be
researched and clarified. Motion failed.
Motion by Filipiak, 2nd by o'Connell to indicate to the Finance
Committee to follow past practice until the rules and by-laws can be clarified to refer to non-supervisors. Carried. Luckey voted
no, stating that the board rules regarding per diem do not say that
they pertain to citizen members of committees. She also said, the
board rules were not routinely handed out to citizen members, and,
citizen members of some committees are not even being paid a per
diem while those on other committees are.
Motion by Filipiak, 2nd by O'Connell to recommend to the future
Administration Committee that clarification of the rules needs to
include non-supervisors on committees. They should adhere to the
same rules as County Board Supervisors. Carried.
Chair Standafer was invited to attend a Metropolitan Counsel Inner-
County meeting. The date has not been set yet. Standafer will present it to the County Board Chair as to who should attend, if
anyone.
Motion by o'Connell, 2nd by Filipiak to adjourn at 10:45 A.M.
Carried.
