The Committee reviewed labor issues including the imple-

information regarding the current pay levels of elected officials
and comparisons with the same positions in other counties. At 1:45
the elected officials met with the Committee to discuss the setting
of wages for the term of office from 1999 through 2000. Attending
the meeting were Paul Burch, Sue Nelson, Mary Jean Livermore, Kay
Walsh, and Lori Meyer Frascht.
Frascht referred to data indicating that the St. Croix County
positions, excluding Sheriff, were paid at levels $2,500 to $4,000
less than their comparable counterparts. The gap between St. Croix
County and the comparable counties had increased since the wages
were last set in 1996. Burch noted that St. Croix County's
Sheriff's operation included more staff and a greater budget than
in most surrounding counties. The officials were dismissed from
