plan.

PARK BUSINESS
Park Bills & Invoices
Parks Director Joe Grant presented a list of the July bills for $2948.51. A bill for $46.02 in July is now
reimbursable through the Snowmobile Aids Program. Grant also submitted invoices for mileage by use of
private vehicles for County business. Motion to approve bills by Larson, seconded by Jensen. Motion
carried.
Park Manager's Report
Grant reported he worked with International Trade Economic Development Company. They filmed a
paddleboat segment and trout fishing on the Kumickinnic River. It will be aired on Channel 18 out of Eau
Claire sometime in March of 1999. Grant also Glen Hills Park Watershed was mowed. Rustic Lore Days in
Glenwood will be September 11-13th. Budget was given to Finance on August 21, 1998. Grant will notify
Planning if he needs to be put on agenda for his budget.
Perch Lake
Grant reported he had nothing new concerning Perch Lake. Committee member Linda Luckey questions
Grant regarding a report of possible parties at the cabin. Grant was not aware of a problem recently. He had
visited the area earlier this spring, but saw no evidence of a problem. Staff will follow through.
Troy Park Road
Grant has had no contact with the landowners or contractors. Hense has noticed riprap on a number of
properties that appears to be completed by barge.
Bass Lake Boat Landing
The County built the boat landing with a Department of Natural Resources Grant with a sponsorship from
Land Conservation. The County does not have a right to that land. It is against the rules of the DNR to be
the owner and the operator of that landing. If the County doesn't take control then a great deal of the grant
must be paid back. Grant's concern is that maintenance will be needed in the future and that the distance for
maintenance could present a problem. Chairperson Raymond and Jensen will investigate this issue and
return it to the Committee.
PLANNING BUSINESS
Planning Bills, Invoices & Revenue Report
Committee members reviewed the Planning Department Revenue Report of $194.25. Bills submitted for
approval in the amount of $19,574.78 were approved by motion of Larson, seconded by Luckey. Motion
carried. Of that amount, $10,000.00 was submitted for Bonestroo Professional Services on the Perch Lake
Plan.

Development Management Plan and Ordinance
Planning Director Fodroczi received extraterritorial map shortly before the meeting today. He will review
and report to the Committee at a later date. A second town meeting will be coordinated with the townships
of Eau Galle, St Joseph and Kinnickinnic and staff. Fodroczi and Committee discussed what they
interpreted as issues. Fodroczi wants a workable plan with all townships and is looking forward to another
meeting. Due to the absence of a Zoning Administrator, the Workgroup meeting for August 24th was
canceled.
Committee member Jensen gives scenario on what options a landowner would have with the County's
Development Plan in place. Discussion on that matter.
Lower St Croix Riverway Management Plan
Luckey reported on the recent meeting where the Lower St Croix Riverway Management Commission
voted on the remaining unresolved land use issues. The height restriction was lowered to 30 ft on rural
residential structures, they eliminated any lot size, but must meet the setback requirements. On the
management structure, they voted to retain the Lower St Croix Management Commission, but add two non-
voting members, one being from Boundary Area Commission and one from a proposed new group called
the Lower St Croix Partnership Team. Fodroczi reported that he met with staff of the Boundary Area
Commission and Natural Park Service to discuss a draft watershed statement that is the remaining step in
the Riverway planning process.
Stillwater Bridge
A task force has been formed to work out the final plan and design for the bridge. A meeting will be held at
the St Croix County Government Center on September 9, 1998 in the Community Room. Dick Braun, from
a consulting firm, is holding one on one meeting with individual groups. Braun and his consultants are
developing new traffic projections and origin -destination surveys to evaluate the original bridge data.
Land Information Program
Frodroczi informed the Committee he would meet the second Wednesday of every month with various
Land Records Departments to update our land information plan. State law requires the update to be
completed by early 1999. It was originally updated in 1992. We have received a grant for $23,000.00
plus to work with staff and, surveyors office on parcel mapping. Fodroczi will go through a formal
request for a proposal to make selection. Staff is also reviewing GIS software. The State has already
selected their software. Fodroczi has discussed software with Computer Services and the Land Records
Committee and will probably select the same. Four surrounding counties are running the same software
as the State. Fodroczi will meet with a representative from that company this week and report to the
Committee with pricing.
1999 Budgets
Bill Rubin, Executive Director for St Croix Economic Development Corporation, presented his budget of
$37,635.00 to the Committee. The requested allocation from the County will support the department's total
budget of $103,543.00. Other sources of revenue include $35,001.00 from cities villages and towns,
$28,407 from private sector membership contributions, and $2,500.00 from interest income. Committee
member Hense commended Rubin and staff on their excellent job, stating the corporation is much more
important than originally started. Motion by Hense, seconded by Luckey to approve budget as requested.

The Committee also approved the Park's Budget previously. Planning Director F'odroczi reviewed grant
monies, software training, Register of Deeds automation and mapping grant with the Committee. Motion by
Jensen, seconded by Luckey to accept budget as presented. Zoning Director Sherman reviewed her Mission
Statement, operations by program, expenses, salary and fringes with the Committee. She noted that a
County vehicle was not requested for the new employee. Sherman also noted the largest increase in her
budget is due to the request for new employee and software. Increase in publications was noted for copies of
proposed new zoning ordinance. Motion by Hense, seconded by Jensen to adopt budget as submitted.
