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. 3 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.
