124
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:42,120
by way of introduction here um my name
is Jake Lenell I'm representing CLA

125
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:47,959
that's your external audit team so our
role as it relates to um the the county

126
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:52,800
is really performing an audit of the
financial statements that are prepared

127
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:57,759
by your team as well as the a an audit
of federal and state Grant programs in

128
00:13:55,560 --> 00:14:02,360
accordance with the various regulations
that the federal and State Grant

129
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:08,480
authorities have related to those
dollars so we perform audits for similar

130
00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:13,199
organizations all across uh Wisconsin we
work with over half of the counties here

131
00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:19,240
in Wisconsin in a very similar similar
role um and we work with over 500

132
00:14:16,839 --> 00:14:23,160
municipalities as a whole across across
the state so we also have a national

133
00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:27,600
practice but really the the point of
sharing this background information with

134
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:32,000
you as it relates to your audit team is
is just to share with you that this uh

135
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:38,399
perspective that we have is is really
based in the Wisconsin local government

136
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:42,880
uh environment and uh we try to bring
that to our audit approach and share

137
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:47,600
those best practices that we have both
in in performing our work as well as if

138
00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:52,959
we see opportunities to improve
efficiencies uh with your staff as

139
00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:56,360
well um so I do want to share with you
uh the the results of the audit work so

140
00:14:54,880 --> 00:15:04,800
the the work that we performed is
related to the 12312 23 calendar year uh

141
00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:10,440
we've completed our audit of that work
um that involves really testing all of

142
00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:14,560
the financial information that your team
brings together in terms of the

143
00:15:12,199 --> 00:15:19,440
financial statements and related
disclosures and Performing sampling and

144
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:24,639
testing around those balances to see
that they're appropriately supported by

145
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:28,639
the underlying supporting documentation
that they're consistent with what we'd

146
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:32,360
expect to see uh based on that
information provided and and based on

147
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:37,240
what we see within the industry as a
whole uh so the result of that work is

148
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:41,800
we issue an opinion on those financial
statements that opinion is unmodified

149
00:15:39,959 --> 00:15:45,920
opinion or what's commonly referred to
as a clean opinion that's the highest

150
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:50,519
level of assurance we can provide you as
your Auditors uh that those financial

151
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:54,279
statements are free of any material
misstatement that they appropriately

152
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:59,000
reflect the activities of the county as
a

153
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:03,800
whole um also included as part of our
work we issue a letter that covers some

154
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:09,920
of the required Communications around
the audit process one of those matters

155
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:14,959
focuses on accounting policies um in
particular as it relates to new

156
00:16:11,959 --> 00:16:22,800
requirements proposed by the financial
statement Community um so gasby 96 is a

157
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:28,000
new standard requiring the evaluation of
uh Information Technology contracts and

158
00:16:25,639 --> 00:16:31,360
evaluating um the long-term nature of
those contracts and determining if

159
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:37,079
there's any additional disclosures
required as a result of those new

160
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:41,519
standards uh so we were able to review
the work that your uh management team

161
00:16:39,199 --> 00:16:47,319
performed in terms of being able to
implement that new policy and procedure

162
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:51,399
and had no objections to the way in
which that had been

163
00:16:48,839 --> 00:16:55,720
implemented um also included in our
letters is is a description of the

164
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:59,680
accounting estimates involved in in
preparing those financial statements so

165
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:06,280
as as this information is being brought
to a close as of December 31st uh it

166
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:11,679
involves Pro um providing some estimates
included in the financial statements and

167
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:17,559
our work is really surrounding uh
evaluating those um estimates and in

168
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:21,319
determining that they're appropriate and
consistent with what the County's

169
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:26,120
experience has been as well as
consistent with what the industry

170
00:17:22,919 --> 00:17:30,480
standards um would would be uh
portraying as well so again no no

171
00:17:28,919 --> 00:17:35,760
changes to the way in which those
methodologies and those estimates have

172
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:41,720
been brought into the financial
statements um we had no difficulties in

173
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:46,559
counter performing the audit um the one
area in which we uh I'm sorry it was

174
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:51,880
there a
question I don't I don't see okay Sor

175
00:17:50,039 --> 00:17:56,679
sorry I thought I had heard someone pipe
in for a question but um the uh

176
00:17:55,120 --> 00:18:02,760
uncorrected misstatements what this
relates to is it as we evaluate valate

177
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,840
um some of the balances that are are are
reported within the financial statements

178
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:11,360
if there's anything that is uh a small
difference in terms of what the

179
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:16,240
standards would would report versus
what's included within your fund

180
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:21,480
financial statements we we identify
those amounts to you and um really what

181
00:18:18,919 --> 00:18:26,200
these two matters relate to are the two
new standards one which I just talked

182
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:32,120
about as it relates to uh Information
Technology contracts um similarly last

183
00:18:29,159 --> 00:18:39,200
year there was a new standard related to
long-term leases and if any of those um

184
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:42,760
balances had been material or
significant enough to bring into the

185
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:48,320
financial statements then you'd be
required to do that but because they are

186
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:52,360
insignificant uh you're able to to leave
them as they've always been reported

187
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:56,480
which is really on on really the cash
basis of how those activities are

188
00:18:54,320 --> 00:19:00,720
reported it's how you budget for it and
it's how you track it so it may Mak

189
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,640
sense it's um something where you've got
flexibility around it and makes it a

190
00:19:02,159 --> 00:19:08,039
little bit more efficient to bring your
financial statements to close so your

191
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:11,919
management team has uh gone through the
work to evaluate what the impact of

192
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:16,000
those would be and um we were able to
perform work around that to say uh we

193
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:20,559
agree that those amounts are
insignificant and do not require any

194
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:25,039
further work or any further effort on
the county side so we do include those

195
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:28,960
amounts just so that you're aware that
those were missed there those are

196
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:33,840
conscious decisions Within in the
financial statement process um what's

197
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:37,720
not included on this slide and which is
actually significant is that we didn't

198
00:19:35,799 --> 00:19:43,559
have any corrected misstatements so if
we had corrected misstatements we'd also

199
00:19:40,159 --> 00:19:46,600
identify those to you as well um and
that would what that would mean is that

200
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:50,799
as we're performing our work we're
finding things that need to get changed

201
00:19:48,679 --> 00:19:54,360
that need to get altered to be in
compliance with the reporting standards

202
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:58,840
but that's not the case when we perform
our work with the county um the

203
00:19:56,679 --> 00:20:03,960
financial information that we're re
receiving is consistent with what needs

204
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:08,720
to be done for for external reporting
and that's important for you to know um

205
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:12,520
in in your roles in that the financial
information that you're receiving

206
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,320
throughout the year we're not coming in
at the end and making a bunch of changes

207
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:21,120
to that information to get it in
accordance with the standards it's

208
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:26,799
already in the proper reporting format
structure and um and methodologies so

209
00:20:25,159 --> 00:20:30,440
that that's important to note it's it's
kind of a thing with Auditors where no

210
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:35,559
new news is good news and that's why we
don't have any information for you on

211
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:41,720
any on any corrections that we had to
make uh no disagreements with management

212
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:45,000
um also included within the letters is
Management's representation letter which

213
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:49,840
is really management accepting
responsibility for the financial

214
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:53,919
statements and indicating to us that uh
they've provided us with everything that

215
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:58,120
they know to be true for the financials
as well as all of the supporting

216
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:02,440
documentation in terms of being complete
and accurate as well and no

217
00:21:00,679 --> 00:21:06,919
consultations with other accountants as
we performed our

218
00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:12,640
work um also as part of our our work
with the county we perform review of um

219
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:17,760
major federal and major State programs
as required by the federal and state

220
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:24,440
agencies and as we perform that work
we're required to test for certain

221
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:28,919
uh sorry was there a question there
you're good Jake okay I might be getting

222
00:21:27,279 --> 00:21:33,440
a little bit of feedback on my ear P
sorry about that

223
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:38,279
um as as we perform our work on the
federal and state programs um we will

224
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:44,159
continue to work through that process
that that uh timing of that work isn't

225
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:48,600
uh due until the end of September um
we're working through that actively now

226
00:21:45,919 --> 00:21:51,760
with your team and uh are are making
great progress we'll be well ahead of

227
00:21:50,159 --> 00:21:57,720
that kind of timeline of of that
September 30th deadline so um just in

228
00:21:55,039 --> 00:22:02,080
good in good State there but um the one
thing I'll note is that there are new

229
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:05,760
programs uh this year as it relates to
the requirements and that's really just

230
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:09,919
dictated by the level of the funding
that the county was able to get uh once

231
00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:15,400
you once you get over a certain level of
funding um and if it hasn't been tested

232
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:21,320
in a in a while the fed or the state
agency will require that testing so um

233
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:24,679
it's not um it's not uh a bad thing that
these programs are subject to testing

234
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:28,600
it's really just a function of the cycle
in which they they arrive but you do

235
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:34,000
have new programs this year that we will
be working with your team uh to to uh

236
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,000
complete that

237
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:43,559
work and then um as always we will
continue to work through any upcoming uh

238
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:48,520
areas um gasby 101 focuses on
compensated absences so similar to what

239
00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:53,880
we've done with the past few uh new
requirements we'll we'll work with your

240
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:58,679
management team to see that those um
those standards have been evaluated that

241
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:03,200
if any are any new changes are required
that they've been implemented um and

242
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:07,320
we'll continue to focus on on those
additional Grant dollars as they come

243
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:12,640
through to and and rotate our testing as
required by those federal and state

244
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:16,760
agencies um so really in summary I'll
share that we we shared the same uh

245
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:24,360
feedback with the finance committee uh
early last week as well um we we do

246
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:29,000
intend this to be a a an area where you
um have that open Outreach and open

247
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:34,679
communication with us if there's other
areas in which um you know from from a

248
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:39,039
planning perspective or from uh a future
audit plan perspective uh there were

249
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:44,080
anything that the the governing bodies
would want to talk about um we could um

250
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:48,640

good evening everyone we had four
retirements in the last quarter um total

265
00:25:06,159 --> 00:25:13,320
the total a total of 100 years of
service between the four of them

266
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:17,120
unfortunately I don't think any of them
are here tonight I know three of them

267
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:22,120
are currently out of state whether they
moved or

268

269
00:25:24,399 --> 00:25:29,919
with our Public Health Nur uh Public
Health Department for just a little a

270
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:35,559
little bit over nine
years and then we jump into some of the

271
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:40,799
bigger numbers uh Mike Hennis was uh
worked in Our IT department he started

272
00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:45,960
about the same same time I did so it was
a little bit over 24 years and he was

273
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:51,399
actually part of I think the ICC group
that was um for those of you who have

274
00:25:49,159 --> 00:25:56,960
been around around that long there used
to be our it Department combined of

almost 32

277
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:15,840

pleasure to present our 2023 annual

287
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:12,960
report before I dive into it I just want
to send a big thank you to our Cony

Board of Supervisors our Cony board
chair Ben way Meyer our administrator as

289
00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:21,919
well as our Human Services Board chair
and our Human Services Board without

290
00:27:20,159 --> 00:27:25,200
everybody's cooperation we wouldn't be
able to remain Nimble and fluid and

291
00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:29,080
really do the things that are expected
of us at Human Services and for our

292
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:33,320
committee so thank you very very
much I wanted just to point out our

293
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:36,919
mission statement and indicate that that
really is our North Star and enhancing

294
00:27:35,159 --> 00:27:39,840
the quality of life uh for our
individuals and families in Jefferson

295
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,600
County is really what we are here to do
and we take it very serious that's what

296
00:27:41,679 --> 00:27:47,720
we use to make our decisions that's what
we use in terms of uh applying for

297
00:27:45,919 --> 00:27:51,320
Grants and really gathering around what
is our mission and what is the best

298
00:27:48,919 --> 00:27:54,840
thing we are we are to do um everybody
should have a copy of our annual report

299
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:59,640
if you are looking for some light
reading or can't sleep at night it is

300
00:27:56,679 --> 00:28:02,880
166 pages and and um it is filled with
all the typical qualitative and

301
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:06,320
quantitative data we're very proud of
that um we have our key outcome

302
00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:10,559
indicators which really drive the work
that we do and we use that for our

303
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:13,720
measurements um this year I decided to
go in a different direction we won't

304
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:18,360
present some of that data rather what I
want to do is spend some time really

305
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:21,760
talking about our rebranding if you will
what I mean by that is hopefully you've

306
00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:26,799
noticed uh additional articles in the
newspaper about our activities at Human

307
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:30,320
Services um additional posts via
Facebook and Instagram we're in a number

308
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:34,159
of newsletters uh across various
Hospitals and Clinics in the area and

309
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:38,080
the idea really is is to share with the
community what we do at Human Services

310
00:28:35,799 --> 00:28:42,320
in a proactive Manner and decrease that
stigma around potentially for some folks

311
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:45,919
anyway coming to Human Services so that
really has been an explicit focus of of

312
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,519
ours the last year and a half or so so
I'd like to spend a little bit of time

313
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:54,120
uh sharing some of those details
tonight by way of background at Human

314
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:58,760
Services we have five divisions we have
about 247 employees and that includes

315
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:04,120
our pool and part- timr and we have a
little over $36 million in

316
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:08,760
Revenue one of the first things our
Management Group got together to talk

317
00:29:05,679 --> 00:29:12,320
about uh to kick off 2023 was how do we
spread the word on what we're doing uh

318
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:16,279
locally and Statewide and and what you
see there is just a couple example of

319
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:20,200
some Statewide conferences on the left
you see Holly Pagel she's our Behavioral

320
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:24,640
Health division manager she's presenting
there at Wisconsin County Human Services

321
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:28,360
Association on best practice and and
we've been invited back next year as

322
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:33,880
well in the middle you see our youth
Justice team as well as a a national uh

323
00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:39,519
presenter Cedric Howard who came to be a
part of our first ever youth Justice

324
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:43,120
Summit and on the far right there of the
middle photo you see assistant district

325
00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:46,480
attorney Brook Tober who's been a strong
advocate of Youth Justice for years and

326
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:50,360
what we really did is gather up our
local stakeholders and really talk about

327
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:54,000
what is youth Justice and what isn't
youth Justice and really compare and

328
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:57,440
contrast about what you might see about
youth Justice on TV nationally and what

329
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:01,840
are we doing here locally and we're able
to really spread the word with um local

330
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:06,000
school districts and law enforcement
stakeholders clinics and hospitals and

331
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:09,960
and really have a good conversation a
number of our staff presented a variety

332
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:13,640
of our initiatives and DCF was able to
attend as well and then the last one

333
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:18,039
it's just a third example of a
conference is myself and judge Brandt

334
00:30:15,679 --> 00:30:22,080
Meer uh presenting at the Child Welfare
conference in the Dells it's a Statewide

335
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:25,600
conference presented every year we able
to not only moderate that two-day

336
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:29,799
conference but spend some time talking
about our judicial engagement teams in

337
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:34,360
the mechanism that we have used in our
juvenile court uh for others then to

338
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:38,120
potentially take a look
at keeping with the theme of wanting to

339
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:42,399
spread the word about what we do at
Human Services um a couple bullet points

340
00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:46,799
I wanted to share and that's that we
were able to open up a branch location

341
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:50,799
of Human Services um as part of our all
patient clinic in Watertown at the

342
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,880
collective and we've since been able to
add a second office and we really feel

343
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:58,159
like if we can embed ourselves in the
community become a part of the community

344
00:30:55,919 --> 00:31:04,240
decrease Transportation we're able to to
offer more and more services to Folks at

345
00:31:00,639 --> 00:31:08,200
kind of an easier uh open door policy
Our Community Support Program who serve

346
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:12,559
severe and p uh persistent mental
illness uh patients uh we hired a

347
00:31:10,639 --> 00:31:16,559
full-time nurse last year and really
what that allows us to do is provide

348
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:21,000
medication management some injectable
medications as well as uh folks may know

349
00:31:19,519 --> 00:31:26,000
but our severe and persistent mental
illness population often has physical

350
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:29,559
health issues that accompany uh those
those mental health diagnosis so were

351
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:34,240
able to do some education around
diabetes uh heart conditions uh things

352
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:37,840
of that nature so that's been great and
then our County was one of the first in

353
00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:41,919
the state of Wisconsin to develop a
compliance department and this last year

354
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:46,080
we're able to really operationalize that
compliance Department by uh forming a

355
00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:50,240
compliance committee working with other
departments enrolling our policy

356
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:54,760
agency-wide which has been great and the
last thing I'll mention on this slide

357
00:31:51,880 --> 00:32:00,159
again to that Outreach mechanism is our
adrc was able to attend 27 community

358
00:31:57,519 --> 00:32:04,880
events last year to really invite folks
to come forth and use the services we

359
00:32:02,679 --> 00:32:09,519
have here such as attending the farmers
market children share and caref far in

360
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:12,960
Fort ainson in Watertown um we also
targeted a number of Spanish speaking

361
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:17,200
events which has been very helpful as we
do have two Spanish speaking members of

362
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:20,799
of that department it's been very very
helpful the next slide people will

363
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:24,080
recognize we really appreciate
everybody's support here with the

364
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:28,080
opening of our mat Center um we were
able to collaborate with the Department

365
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:32,799
of Health Services and the greater water
Community Health Foundation to open up

366
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:38,440
the m center we used 100% DHS funding to
do so and we were able to celebrate that

367
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:41,840
in in uh jul excuse me January with the
the photo on the right there we were

368
00:32:39,639 --> 00:32:45,840
able to have Senator John jagler there
we had representative Barbara dedrich

369
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:51,080
Tina crave you see Ben as well as a
number of folks from Human Services uh

370
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:55,840
board there and we also had the deputy
secretary of DHS Deb Standridge to do

371
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:58,320
the the ribbon cutting so that was a
great day we got a lot of really good

372
00:32:56,919 --> 00:33:02,399
coverage and we continue to get coverage
on a week-by-week basis a big thanks to

373
00:33:00,679 --> 00:33:07,559
Michael for all his help and and helping
us coordinate that as

374
00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:11,240
well another couple high points here is
we implemented an appointment uh

375
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:14,799
software program to remind folks about
their upun appointments so if anybody's

376
00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:18,760
had a doctor's appointment late lately
or even an oil change you're getting

377
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:23,799
text about that upcoming appointment we
did a quality uh Improvement walkth

378
00:33:21,559 --> 00:33:27,200
through of our Nosh shows and at first
what we had is Staff calling folks to

379
00:33:25,559 --> 00:33:31,480
remind them of appointments and that
clearly is timec consuming so now we use

380
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:35,120
a a texting software just like your
local Clinic does to remind people of

381
00:33:33,519 --> 00:33:39,600
their appointments and we've been able
to really decrease no sh shows which

382
00:33:37,159 --> 00:33:44,960
increase uh increases Services frankly
and also our revenue and ability to

383
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:50,240
Bill our economic support area answered
over 11,000 calls in 2023 really linking

384
00:33:47,799 --> 00:33:53,600
people up with food share medical
assistance and Badger Care and then

385
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:57,840
again to highlight our aging and
disability Resource Center otherwise

386
00:33:55,120 --> 00:34:01,840
known as our adrc they had over 8,000
contacts in 2023 to enroll individuals

387
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:06,519
into Family Care provide General
counseling and get folks linked up with

388
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,519
public

389
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:15,119
benefits recently we were able to attend
the secretaries pudding family's first

390
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:19,839
award ceremony in Madison at the capital
um each year there is a an award

391
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:23,159
ceremony dedicated to child welfare
staff and individuals around the state

392
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:27,159
of Wisconsin this last year was the
first year ever they had a community

393
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:30,720
partner award so at Human Services we
put together nomination for Tina crave

394
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:34,000
president and CEO of the greater
Watertown Community Health foundation

395
00:34:32,359 --> 00:34:37,679
for all of her work to support child
welfare for example the mat Center that

396
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:41,679
we just talked about and so we're able
to submit her nomination and she was the

397
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:46,520
first ever recipient of that Community
partner award so you see um our Human

398
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:50,280
Services Board uh dick Jones as well as
on the left there at secretary Emily

399
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:54,599
ainson and the governor presenting that
award to the foundation that is not Tina

400
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:59,359
Crave in the middle however she was out
of the country and we arranged for her

401
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:04,079
to receive that at a uh a recent human
services board

402
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:08,480
meeting one of our other initiatives
last year was Human Services day at the

403
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:12,440
capital so we believe in advocating for
what is right in human services but also

404
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:18,599
that means every B Anum we really work
closely with legislators to advocate for

405
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:22,599
how to increase and get our items on the
agenda so they're considered by the

406
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:26,160
governor's for his his budget in in this
case and we're able to spend time with

407
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:30,160
all of our local legislators and
representatives and here's a picture

408
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:33,839
with representative Barbara dedri Gina
ranelli from our board as well as Holly

409
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:37,800
Pagel who accompanied us um from our
Behavioral Health division because many

410
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:41,800
of our initiatives in our asks of the
budget came from our Behavioral Health

411
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:46,240
Division and so we're actually already
working on the next bium and what we'll

412
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:50,200
be asking for in the next budget and
then last here is our playground um if

413
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,800
anybody had been to Human Service in the
last number of years you've noticed the

414
00:35:51,680 --> 00:36:00,319
playground up back it began to look a
bit shabby a bit unsafe and what we're

415
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:04,480
able to do is uh for the use by headart
berth the 3 our buyb preschool is secure

416
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:08,640
some Child Care funds and work with

number of suggestions about what's

00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:23,720
worked at hit the parks locally here in

Human Services because without our staff
supervisors and managers I simply

424
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:39,400
wouldn't stand here and talk about these
these things that we're able to to do on

00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:02,520
center is reminder serves ages 10 to 17
for youth experiencing a mental health

430
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:07,000
crisis to decrease their potential stay
at a long-term hospital and so we have

431
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:10,920
opened up the girl side depending on
census we have accepted a couple of Mals

432
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:15,040
um but right now our census is right
where we would expect it to be we are

433
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:20,200
fully staff for the girl side and we
hope by the first week in July to open

434
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:23,560
up the the male side as well um we just
actually had a regional meeting there

you Brent thank
you next is Corporation councel Danielle

440
00:37:53,079 --> 00:38:00,040
Thompson good evening Danielle Thompson
Corporation Council um the written

441
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:03,640
report that I previously submitted
outlines all of the major

442
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:07,520
responsibilities of our office along
with our case load um but I appreciate

443
00:38:05,839 --> 00:38:12,920
the opportunity to supplement that
report today and answer any questions

444
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:17,359
you may have um depending upon how long
you've been on this board or what

445
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:20,880
committees you serve on you um may be
more familiar than others with the

446
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:26,240
services that Corporation council's
office provides uh but generally we

447
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:30,640
serve as the chief legal adviser to you
that being the County Board

448
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:36,560
um all committees department heads and
County staff on civil matters so that's

449
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:40,839
our statutory mandate um essentially our
job is to provide legal advice to assist

450
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:45,720
the county in making policy decisions
and then legal support to help you

451
00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:50,880
implement and facilitate those decisions
um as you can imagine this involves a

452
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:54,880
diverse array of legal issues every day
in our office is different um which is

453
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:59,800
both why I took this job and why it can
be challenging at times um but our

454
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:03,760
office is involved in virtually all
facets of County government and we

455
00:39:01,839 --> 00:39:08,359
interact to some degree with all
departments um whether that involves

456
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:11,960
open meetings open records uh
Contracting and

457
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:18,880
purchasing uh all resolutions and
ordinances that come before you come

458
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:23,560
through our office um a number of tasks
um most of you probably recognize me as

459
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:27,720
I have the pleasure of attending all of
these meetings with you monthly um but

460
00:39:25,839 --> 00:39:32,960
there are five attorneys that work in my
office and one

461
00:39:29,319 --> 00:39:37,680
pargal um in 2023 that was a year of
transition in our office I replaced

462
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:41,800
attorney ward in October due to his
retirement uh a great deal of credit

463
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:47,560
goes to my staff and to Blair for
helping to make that uh transition

464
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:52,560
relatively seamless um in our office we
take a collaborative approach anybody

465
00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:57,000
who walks through there would often see
um Jordan and Y Elena and I huddled

466
00:39:54,280 --> 00:40:02,040
around our file cabinet talking about
difficult cases um but there are uh each

467
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:07,119
attorney generally has a specialty in
primary

468
00:40:03,119 --> 00:40:13,599
obligations um and for me that's General
government services labor and employment

469
00:40:09,359 --> 00:40:17,880
matters Contracting real estate Etc um
in our office we have attorney yena

470
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:22,240
zarwell whose primary responsibility is
mental health commitments guardianships

471
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:27,800
and protective placements uh she also
Handles open records responses and she

472
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:33,680
is our resident hipa compliance expert
um we also have Jordan Lippard he

473
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:37,280
handles um litigation on behalf of
children that being chips cases which is

474
00:40:35,839 --> 00:40:41,720
the acronym for children in need of
protection and services um and then

475
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:48,480
other General litigation matters as they
come up uh there are two attorneys Tom

476
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:53,280
anline and Kendall Wick who um work
basically exclusively in child support

477
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:57,760
so they are in court daily um
establishing paternity establishing

478
00:40:55,160 --> 00:41:03,119
child support orders handling enfor and
collection when necessary um and then as

479
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:08,119
I mentioned we have one pargal Serena
you all recognize her she's also the

480
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:12,599
County Board reporter um a daily she is
the assistant to Jordan yena and I so

481
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:18,839
she keeps three attorneys on track which
is not an easy task um but she does it

482
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:24,480
well um newer members of the board are
likely familiar with the advisory or

483
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:28,079
transactional side of our office um but
you may be surprised to learn that a

484
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:34,119
large portion of what happens in our
office is litigation um the attorneys in

485
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:39,920
my office are in court on a daily um
basis sometimes multiple times per day

486
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:44,560
um and those are cases where we are
statutorily charged to represent the

487
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:48,680
public interest in civil matters so it's
very similar or akin to the DA being

488
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:54,480
required to represent the public
interest in criminal cases um as I

489
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:58,040
mentioned y Elena is in charge of mental
health commitments guardianships and

490
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:04,200
protective placements so those cases can
involve both adults and minors it's her

491
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:08,119
job to represent the public interest um
when we are doing an involuntary mental

492
00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:11,800
health commitment we do those uh when
it's believed that an individual is

493
00:42:09,599 --> 00:42:16,400
dangerous to themselves or others
generally this is an individual

494
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:20,559
experiencing a mental health crisis um
chapter 51 of the Wisconsin statutes

495
00:42:18,599 --> 00:42:24,640
allows the county to detain an
individual against their will for mental

496
00:42:22,319 --> 00:42:29,359
health treatment um so that is one of
her

497
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:32,920
tasks similarly um she gets involved in
Guardianship and protective placement

498
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:37,079
cases which involve protecting
developmentally disabled and incompetent

499
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:41,640
individuals who are unable to make
decisions for themselves or care for

500
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:45,160
themselves independently um so those
cases involve having a guardian

501
00:42:43,079 --> 00:42:51,359
appointed and sometimes having that
individual placed in a facility for care

502
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:56,040
these cases often involve uh elderly
citizens Jordan uh liard on the other

503
00:42:54,119 --> 00:43:01,480
hand his cases involve exclusively
children uh children in need of

504
00:42:58,319 --> 00:43:05,680
protection and services cases involve uh
children who are the victims of abuse

505
00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:10,040
Andor neglect and those cases involve
putting uh court orders in place to

506
00:43:07,599 --> 00:43:13,640
protect children either in the home or
removing the children from their homes

507
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:16,880
when it's necessary and then we work
through the court process to try to

508
00:43:15,319 --> 00:43:22,520
return children home when it's safe to
do so uh he's also involved in

509
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:27,480
termination of parental rights cases or
tprs those come into play when children

510
00:43:25,839 --> 00:43:32,160
have been placed outside of of the home
for an extended period of time often

511
00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:36,800
several years um and parents have not
met the court ordered conditions to have

512
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:42,680
those children returned um a tpr would
permanently sever legal ties between a

513
00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:48,160
parent and a child so very serious um
civil actions the cases that Jordan and

514
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:53,200
Y Elena are primarily responsible for
involve close consultation with human

515
00:43:50,079 --> 00:43:57,599
services so on a daily basis uh we are
working with several departments over

516
00:43:55,520 --> 00:44:03,800
there including emergency Health
Services APS and their CPS teams they

517
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:09,000
are also very time sensitive both
legally and from a safety standpoint uh

518
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:14,400
they often require hearings within 48 to
72 hours depending upon the case type um

519
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:19,359
and they require some extensive
preparation uh as I mentioned these are

520
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:23,480
these types of cases are generally
regarded as the most serious types of

521
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:28,520
civil cases that a a party can be
involved in um and so they have a very

522
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:33,839
high legal burden and significant dup
process rights are afforded to the

523
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:37,680
litigants um obviously that's due to the
sanctity of the rights that are

524
00:44:35,359 --> 00:44:42,680
implicated obviously your right to be
free uh your right to parent your

525
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:46,880
children um those are important things
and so uh we have to do extensive

526
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:50,800
preparation in order to prove up the
case or to meet our legal burden while

527
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:56,359
still ensuring that the due process
rights of the litigants are protected so

528
00:44:53,160 --> 00:45:01,400
that the court order stands um as you'll
see from the written report the numbers

529
00:44:59,119 --> 00:45:05,839
of cases filed in these types of areas
is relatively stable from year to year

530
00:45:04,079 --> 00:45:09,960
however the complexity of the cases
continues to increase um that is because

531
00:45:08,599 --> 00:45:14,359
these cases are getting a lot of
attention in the court of appeals uh

532
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:18,520
which generally results in heightening
legal standards uh so they continue to

533
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:24,960
keep our office very
busy uh in addition to the regular daily

534
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:30,200
obligations I'm working on several more
long-term projects some of those

535
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:35,240
inherited from my predecessor one being
the codification of County ordinances so

536
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:40,359
we've talked about this before but
currently the county has a collection of

537
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:45,160
ordinances on its website but no uniform
system of numbering they are not easily

538
00:45:42,359 --> 00:45:49,480
searchable some have not been updated um
so we are working on the process of

539
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:55,720
updating those ordinances compiling them
and putting them into a system um where

540
00:45:52,160 --> 00:46:00,359
they can be easily uh searched we are
working with a company to do that the

541
00:45:57,599 --> 00:46:04,280
second draft I expect will be here in
the Summer with the hope that it will be

542
00:46:02,359 --> 00:46:11,280
completed and operational by the end of
the year um the other long-term project

543
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:15,800
that I inherited from Blair uh is a
zoning appeal you all are probably

544
00:46:14,079 --> 00:46:20,000
recall the property in the town of
Concord where the county approved a

545
00:46:17,359 --> 00:46:24,800
rezone some citizens were upset about
that they uh took it to Circuit Court

546
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:30,200
Blair handled the case at the circuit
court level and then a decision was made

547
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:35,440
to appeal that case um we are in that
process I have drafted all of the briefs

548
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:39,359
on behalf of the county briefing is
closed and we're just currently awaiting

549
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:44,520
a decision from the court of appeals to
determine next steps hope is that that

550
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:51,000
decision will also arrive sometime this
summer um I'm also in the process of

551
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:56,000
redrafting the tax foreclosure policy is
most of you know my office is in charge

552
00:46:52,800 --> 00:47:00,880
of foreclosing on uh property tax leans
when individuals don't pay their taxes

553
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:05,200
uh because of changing the law we've had
to update our policy as to how the sale

554
00:47:03,319 --> 00:47:09,640
of those properties are
handled uh I think that highlights the

555
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:13,400
main functions of my office but I
welcome any questions you may have of

556
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:18,280

questions as

557
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,280

counties as um main point of contact and

563
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:57,920
supervisor for staff within those
extension offices so I'm really honored

564
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:02,040
to be here tonight I'm going to show a
short video in a little while of um what

565
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:07,520
you might see when you're in an
extension program but um wanted to share

566
00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:12,119
a little bit about our mission and about
the partnership that we have with

567
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:16,200
Jefferson County so extension's mission
is to connect the people of Wisconsin

568
00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:19,640
people of Jefferson County with the
latest information that's coming out

569
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:24,599
from the University and we do this in
very practical ways we deliver it on

570
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:29,400
farms we deliver it to communities we
deliver it to families we deliver it to

571
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:35,480
parents to youth um and our programming
we want it to be accessible to everyone

572
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:41,079
we strive really um one of our one of
our uh main uh guiding posts that we

573
00:48:39,359 --> 00:48:46,280
that we lean into is making sure that
our program is accept accept accessible

574
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:49,240
to everyone within Wisconsin and we
strive to ensure that what the

575
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:54,000
information they're getting the people
feel empowered to use that to make their

576
00:48:51,359 --> 00:48:58,200
choice for their own life and to make
their lives better so are we are unique

577
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:01,440
and that you're hearing me say
University of Wisconsin University of

578
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:06,040
Wisconsin but we're also part of the
county um and a County department so uh

579
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:09,760
we function in a lot of different ways
um our Educators you saw a report that

580
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:14,319
was given to you that looked similar
looked just like this and you got to see

581
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:19,400
a list of our Educators and staff and
some of their highlights that they've

582
00:49:15,559 --> 00:49:24,480
been working on uh throughout 20 uh 23
so our the Educators come with a ton of

583
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:27,599
content knowledge um and an entire
support system not only through the

584
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:31,280
university but also through the county
that supports the behind the scenes

585
00:49:29,599 --> 00:49:35,960
support that they need to make our
programming uh the best it can be so we

586
00:49:34,359 --> 00:49:40,599
have everything from evaluation
Specialists we have Specialists that

587
00:49:38,319 --> 00:49:45,160
will translate um into different uh
languages for us uh we have our support

588
00:49:43,319 --> 00:49:48,599
staff here at the county Kim and or
Caitlyn and Megan and they do really

589
00:49:47,079 --> 00:49:53,119
wonderful work just to give us that
General support that we need for our

590
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:58,000
programming so this leads me to share a
little bit of a snapshot about extension

591
00:49:55,599 --> 00:50:02,760
um and just like you heard tonight from
the other County departments uh I'm

592
00:49:59,839 --> 00:50:07,960
excited to share a little bit so um
Jerry wisinski is our 4 educator he

593
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:12,000
focuses on the 4 thriving model he
provides leadership to the entire 4

594
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:17,640
Community here in Jefferson County and
supports some of our Statewide work

595
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:23,960
that's going on within 4 so we have 563
youth that are involved in 4 uh in 20203

596
00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:28,440
and uh we focus really on that thrive
model so we really want youth to be able

597
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:32,799
to put in into practical experience
Hands-On learning so that they can

598
00:50:30,359 --> 00:50:36,359
gather little what we call Sparks so
they might it might be a spark in um

599
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:41,040
science it might be a spark in
leadership it might be um something that

600
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:47,520
Sparks their attention for other Career
Development as they move along so Jerry

601
00:50:44,559 --> 00:50:52,160

the the vast knowledge that's at the
University along with

635
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:36,920
that uh Steve sheski uh is our community
development educator he shared only with

636
00:53:35,319 --> 00:53:40,920
two counties so it's only Jefferson and
wesaw that he shared with but he focuses

637
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:45,119
his work on organizational leadership
development and Community Development uh

638
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:49,040
last year Steve led the fort tinson
local government Academy and uh is

639
00:53:47,559 --> 00:53:53,200
looking forward to expand that program
in the

640
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:56,640
future so my last program I'm going to
share about is our food wise program and

641
00:53:55,640 --> 00:54:01,920
this is where I'm going to share share
video Lisa croo is also bilingual she is

642
00:53:59,839 --> 00:54:06,319
our foodwise coordinator uh we also have
a bilingual foodwise educator that

643
00:54:03,839 --> 00:54:10,599
shares in the space and this program
covers both Jefferson and Walworth

644
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:14,079
counties and because of the partnership
that we have with Jefferson County we

645
00:54:12,240 --> 00:54:18,520
are really able to provide this service
at minimal cost to the county it's

646
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:23,079
federally funded through Snap dollars
and so we are able to bring this uh

647
00:54:20,559 --> 00:54:28,480
bring this program into the county at
very little uh cost to the county so you

648
00:54:26,079 --> 00:54:32,400
will find uh you'll find foodwise
working in our health with the health

649
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:36,240
department the Bread Basket uh food
pantry uh you've included um some

650
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:40,200
handouts in your packet there was some
asparagus recipes you may have seen one

651
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:43,520
was in English one was in Spanish we
typically do that with all of our

652
00:54:41,559 --> 00:54:47,920
handouts that we can and they're really
serving our the low-income people within

653
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:52,280
the community to make healthier choices
uh food choices not only that but they

654
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:57,200
also do taichi they also they do some
fun things with um citizens to really

655
00:54:54,559 --> 00:55:01,240
give them some healthy options now I
think you maybe remember a little clip

656
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:04,119
that you got with your packet um and if
you wonder why in the world would she

657
00:55:02,599 --> 00:55:08,480
give me a foodwise clip that looks like
a chip clip it's Lisa told me so don't

658
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:13,240
tell them it's a chip clip say it's for
their carrots or for their magnet to put

659
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:18,640
on for their asparagus recipe on their
on their uh refrigerator so um anyways I

660
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:22,920
just wanted to share a little something
with you for that but I want to share a

661
00:55:20,559 --> 00:55:26,920
little bit of an example so you just
heard stuff about a head start um and

662
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:32,039
what's going on there so I'm going to
show you a video of what you might see

663
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:37,599
if you were a participant or a family in
a foodwise um class and so um this is

664
00:55:35,720 --> 00:55:43,039
not our Educators that we have but just
an example of what you see in any

665
00:55:39,319 --> 00:55:43,039
foodwise uh class that you may

666
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:51,640
have good morning so do you guys want to
make a recipe with me today

667
00:56:01,240 --> 00:56:09,000
if you introduce things one way to do it
is introduce it in a meal where they

668
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:11,920
have other foods that they like and then
you can try it

669
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:35,000
together so they can do the work for us
later that's very

670
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:35,000
smart see

671
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:43,020

[Music]

00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:30,119
oo thank you all right thanks for
watching that along with me was

677
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:34,839
efficient one so I wanted to provide a
snapshot of our accomplishments in 2023

678
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:39,480
for uh the extension office here in
Jefferson County we have partnered with

679
00:57:36,799 --> 00:57:43,319
37 Community organizations including
many of departments within Jefferson

680
00:57:41,319 --> 00:57:49,480
County there's a list of those near the
back of the um handout that you got last

681
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:54,680
month I believe we've had 98 educational
programs hosted by our Educators uh here

682
00:57:52,480 --> 00:58:00,079
in the county we've reached over
thousand Jefferson County youth we've

683
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:05,400
supported 180 volunteers to carry out
our mission and Statewide the Educators

684
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:10,400
that you support through our partnership
had over 50,000 people across Wisconsin

685
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:13,440
engage in Virtual inperson and social
media

686
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:17,680
connections on the last page of the
annual report we we highlighted the

687
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:22,559
contributions that extension has made to
the Strategic

688
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:26,880
plan um now before I wrap up tonight I
have two asks of you um and I know this

689
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:33,839
report might not be in front of you
anymore but that's okay uh if you're so

690
00:58:30,319 --> 00:58:39,039
inclined to do so um there are two
sections on the last page of the report

691
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:43,640
it looks like this you'll see here's our
um the actions that we've had towards

692
00:58:40,839 --> 00:58:48,280
the Strategic plan and then we're
actually looking for some input we're

693
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:54,039
doing a community uh more or less a
community needs assessment um to help us

694
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:57,960
focus on our marketing plan so if you
wanted to scan this and take a quick

695
00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:02,079
assessment of what you're seeing in your
community and share with us so we could

696
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:06,440
identify some further needs that would
be amazing I would appreciate that and

697
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:11,559
then also uh if you want to know what's
going on in extension I would encourage

698
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:16,359
you to this bottom QR code here we'll
link you right to uh a link that gives

699
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:20,640
you our quarterly Statewide newsletter
so you can get it in your inbox I know

700
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:24,119
inboxes are full a lot of times but if
you just want to say like yeah I wonder

701
00:59:22,359 --> 00:59:32,400
what what the University's extension is
up to I'd encourage you to um go to this

702
00:59:28,039 --> 00:59:32,400
QR code and uh sign up for our

703
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:41,400
newsletter are there any questions about
extension and the work that we're doing

704
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:46,480
in Jefferson County questions for
Chris

705
00:59:43,799 --> 00:59:51,119
questions Mr gross yes I have one
question but um I'm thinking you

706
00:59:48,319 --> 00:59:56,480
probably won't be able to ask U it's
about uh different things about

707
00:59:54,799 --> 01:00:00,960
asparagus believe believe it or not I
was a horiculture educator before this R

708
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:06,799
that's true oh okay so you might be
these are some basic questions okay uh

709
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:11,079
when's the best time to
transplant I believe it's in the fall

710
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:15,920
for asparagus okay are you testing me I
feel like this might be a test no no

711
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:20,760
because there's a lot of different
opinions out there that's why okay and I

712
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:26,520
I would agree with you to try doing it
in the fall okay and then when's the

713
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:31,440
best time to stop cutting it
oh that's a good question I think it's

714
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:35,200
already passed by now but uh perhaps not
I don't know it depends on your soil

715
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:38,920
temperatures and things like that but
that would be a question for Julie if

716
01:00:36,599 --> 01:00:45,039
you wanted to contact Julie okay because
I'm still cutting all right okay right

717
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:52,280
and then uh there's multiple different
ways to uh control the weeds MH which

718
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:57,480
way would you prefer in an asparagus
patch as patch yeah I guess it depends

719
01:00:54,960 --> 01:01:01,960
on which kind of weed it is so um
perennial annual weeds you know things

720
01:01:00,119 --> 01:01:06,160
like that so I mean controlling anything
going to seed would be best but um that

721
01:01:04,559 --> 01:01:09,480
might also be a question for Julie I
don't want to take her thunder away from

722
01:01:07,599 --> 01:01:13,079
her but these are exactly the types of
questions that Julie gets daily but feel

723
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:18,960
free to reach out to her are you fine
with doing the rock salt uh I'm more of

724
01:01:15,799 --> 01:01:23,400
a polling manually type of gardener but
uh you know that might be too hard in a

725
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:26,520
large patch of asparagus but all right
yeah I don't know if Julie would I don't

726
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:30,240
know what Julie would say but uh
certainly please feel free to contact

727
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:38,280
her any other questions Garden related
or not

728
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:40,440
questions seeing none thank you Chris
thank

729
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:49,200
you and that t and that takes us to
Economic Development Consortium Deborah

730
01:01:53,599 --> 01:02:01,160
rinol thank you all I'll try and keep it
short Terry's at Terry's

731
01:01:59,039 --> 01:02:04,279
request hi for those of you who don't
know me I'm Deb Rin bold I lead the

732
01:02:02,559 --> 01:02:08,880
economic development work for Jefferson
County um also for those of you that are

733
01:02:07,119 --> 01:02:12,200
newer to the board uh might also be
interesting to know that not only do we

734
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:15,799
serve you all but we also have two other
boards that we serve the Jefferson

735
01:02:14,119 --> 01:02:20,640
County Economic Development Consortium
which is our public sector and then

736
01:02:17,119 --> 01:02:25,920
Thrive Economic Development which is our
private so here are our areas of focus

737
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:29,079
so about two years ago we updated our
strategic plan to include not only our

738
01:02:27,599 --> 01:02:33,079
traditional Economic Development work
and business retention expansion and

739
01:02:30,599 --> 01:02:37,680
attraction but also to include diverse
housing and an activated Workforce and

740
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:40,079
the only way we can do that is through
trust in

741
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:47,960
Partnerships so this is 2023 activity so
you can see there's $511 million in

742
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:53,160
investment there um that does not
include Kuman that's this that'll come

743
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:58,079
in next year's report so um 10 different
businesses of that 511 million 500

744
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:03,160
million of that is one company that's
asalan bio we'll get into that in a

745
01:03:00,079 --> 01:03:07,839
little bit but you also see 285 plus
jobs so the reason I'm mentioning that

746
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:10,720
that 500 million is one company is
because we work with a lot of smaller

747
01:03:09,279 --> 01:03:16,079
companies it's just that we've been very
lucky to work with some of these larger

748
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:16,079
projects coming here into Jefferson

749
01:03:16,799 --> 01:03:24,640
County yeah some of these headlines have
uh have been coming out recently we've

750
01:03:21,839 --> 01:03:28,880
um Jefferson County lands more than $1
billion in New forign owned company

751
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:33,039
investment that headline came out in the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel I think it

752
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:38,359
was a week and a half ago and also came
out online about two weeks um two weeks

753
01:03:35,799 --> 01:03:42,559
prior um asked Len bio as we had just
mentioned that's an irish-owned company

754
01:03:41,119 --> 01:03:47,480
and they came here and took over the
former Valero facility they currently

755
01:03:45,039 --> 01:03:50,920
have 77 employees and next Monday is
their open house if any of you have

756
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:55,119
signed up or if you're interested in
signing up let me know I can probably

757
01:03:52,319 --> 01:03:59,480
still get you in um pmo as you see on
the right they came into Jefferson

758
01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:03,279
County in uh the cold storage facility
over in Collins um if you don't mind

759
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:08,079
next
slide and as we're looking to grow uh we

760
01:04:06,039 --> 01:04:12,680
are looking at uh there's four different
areas that the county really has a focus

761
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:18,520
on um Agra
business uh food and beverage um biotech

762
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:24,200
is something that we're getting into and
that's the slide here in BIO forward and

763
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:27,799
then also Advanced manufacturing and so
the reason that we're looking at biotech

764
01:04:26,279 --> 01:04:32,200
you can see there's two primary
concentrations and we're located right

765
01:04:29,319 --> 01:04:36,079
in the middle between the two um
primarily they're located in both

766
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:40,279
Madison and then in the Milwaukee area
and so as part of that we've been we

767
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:43,960
have joined an organization in Madison
called biof forward so that we can

768
01:04:42,119 --> 01:04:47,119
better situate ourselves uh better
position ourselves for that type of

769
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:51,640
growth here and the reason that we're
looking at that type of growth is um one

770
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:54,720
because we have such a large
concentration of food and beverage

771
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:57,799
manufacturers a lot of the supply chain
is similar if you think about some of

772
01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:02,400
the tanks that they use in food and
beverage manufacturing they use a lot of

773
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:05,760
the same in in uh biotech as well and
the wages there are extremely good

774
01:05:04,119 --> 01:05:09,359
paying wages and so those are the types
of jobs that we're trying to attract

775
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,359
here into the

776
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:16,440
county so I mentioned before food and
beverage um we also have joined an

777
01:05:14,799 --> 01:05:21,279
organization out of Milwaukee area
called Fab Wisconsin that it focuses on

778
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:24,960
food and beverage and as you see we're
positioning ourselves as the county I

779
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:29,000
know that the county owns land and we'll
get to that in just a little bit that uh

780
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:32,720
you know we've got Kiko menis coming and
being our anchor tenant but we as a

781
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:37,359
county are really well positioned to
attract food and beverage manufacturers

782
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:44,359
and so this is an ad that we placed in
Fab Wisconsin in their annual report uh

783
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:44,359
that came out in January to all of their

784
01:05:44,799 --> 01:05:53,279
businesses so here of course all of you
are familiar with the old County Farm

785
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:56,640
and uh kikoman as most of you I think
you've at least been invited tomorrow is

786
01:05:54,799 --> 01:06:02,760
their groundbreaking
and as you all well aware $563 million

787
01:06:00,279 --> 01:06:08,279
investment um and that's just the
initial $220,000 foot phase and it also

788
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:13,160
then launches our food and beverage
Innovation campus which allows for an

789
01:06:10,079 --> 01:06:15,559
additional 65 acres uh for more food and
beverage

790
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:23,319
manufacturers housing is another one of
the strategies that we highlighted

791
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:27,839
earlier uh last fall we had our um
actually I should start with last may we

792
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:34,240
had the launch of our live local
Development Fund at our our housing

793
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:38,520
Summit and we had 150ish people attend
that meeting out in Lake Mills and again

794
01:06:37,039 --> 01:06:43,720
we launched what we call the live local
Development Fund and I thank all of you

795
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:48,359
for supporting that fund um we recognize
in that in Jefferson County it's

796
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:52,839
difficult um it's difficult to get the
rents that you get say in Daye County or

797
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:55,799
in wershaw county and the performers
right now are really difficult for

798
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:59,920
developers to come we have a huge need
for housing within the county as you all

799
01:06:57,839 --> 01:07:04,640
know it's one of your uh your strategic
goals as well and so this fund allows

800
01:07:02,119 --> 01:07:08,599
for up to $25,000 per unit for an
investor that we can lend out to them

801
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:11,760
and they have to complete a Prof fora so
that we can see exactly where all of

802
01:07:10,119 --> 01:07:15,559
their funds are going and make sure that
if there's any additional funding

803
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:21,119
sources uh that they can use for their
project their ask of our public dollars

804
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:25,559
are are reduced so we created that live
local Development Fund we've already

805
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:29,400
gotten a number of applications um those
those funds are last funds into the deal

806
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:34,920
and so we haven't deployed any of them
but our committee has considered three

807
01:07:31,359 --> 01:07:40,760
of those um performas in order uh to
move those projects forward um the

808
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:44,279
investors in those funds again Jefferson
County uh with $2 million greater

809
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:48,400
Watertown Community Health Foundation at
two and exonia bank has now added to

810
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:52,920
that at another million and a half we
also have in our pipeline I would say at

811
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:57,119
least three possibly four million which
I would anticipate by the end of this

812
01:07:54,359 --> 01:08:00,799
year
and then last fall we had our housing

813
01:07:58,599 --> 01:08:06,000
Summit I'm sorry our annual meeting and
we called it

814
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:09,359
uh creating roofs and roots and what we
did there we had uh three different

815
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:13,359
organizations come in and speak it was a
panel and so we had someone from WEA we

816
01:08:12,119 --> 01:08:17,679
they were talking about some of the
state funds that are available available

817
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:20,679
to support Housing Development Habitat
for Humanity for those of you that

818
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:24,880
aren't aware Habitat for Humanity of
wakasa county has now expanded into

819
01:08:22,480 --> 01:08:29,080
Jefferson County their first project I
believe will be in Fort ainson and

820
01:08:26,679 --> 01:08:33,679
they've got another um that's a duplex
unit that they'll be building and then

821
01:08:30,759 --> 01:08:38,799
they'll also have a couple of lots up in
the city of Watertown as well owned by

822
01:08:35,799 --> 01:08:43,359
the um Madison Area Technical College
and then we also had a speaker from HUD

823
01:08:41,480 --> 01:08:47,880
come in as well and the reason for that
is because we as a county as of January

824
01:08:45,319 --> 01:08:51,960
29th are now HUD certified and that
allows us to use counseling services so

825
01:08:50,279 --> 01:08:57,440
roxan witty in our office she's been
with the county for 20 some years um she

826
01:08:55,239 --> 01:09:02,880
is is our counselor and it allows people
to gain access to up to $220,000 worth

827
01:09:00,440 --> 01:09:06,159
of Grants if they make less than 80% of
the county median income that they can

828
01:09:04,440 --> 01:09:10,520
use towards purchasing a home it doesn't
have to be a first-time home it also

829
01:09:08,239 --> 01:09:14,400
allows them access to 0% interest
financing again for people who make less

830
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:19,600
than 80% of the county median income
they can get 0% interest loans to rehab

831
01:09:17,279 --> 01:09:26,239
their home uh that includes things
structural items such as roofs Windows

832
01:09:23,279 --> 01:09:30,920
um furnaces air condition that type of
thing at 0% and no payments until time

833
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:34,560
of transfer so if they pass away or if
they sell their home that's when that

834
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:34,560
loan comes

835
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:44,159
to and that's what I just described
there sorry activated Workforce so our

836
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:48,640
or our uh our office has worked with the
Latino Academy of Workforce Development

837
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:52,480
we see that a lot of people are uh
staying in their homes longer we're

838
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:57,000
seeing that uh the number of people in
their homes um are going down I think

839
01:09:55,040 --> 01:10:01,560
the a is about one and a half people in
our in a home now so uh we're seeing

840
01:09:59,960 --> 01:10:06,719
people are staying in their homes which
means that they're Aging in place um and

841
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:10,760
so the largest uh largest growth that
we're seeing in our county is through

842
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:13,880
our Latino population and so that's why
we've engaged with the Latino Academy of

843
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:17,560
Workforce Development and we hosted
three career affirs in the last year and

844
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:21,840
a half with them the latest down in
Whitewater you can see JC herma which is

845
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:25,920
the Jefferson County Sherm or society
for human resource management we've been

846
01:10:23,440 --> 01:10:32,840
working with them uh they actually are
going to be hosting a um a a conference

847
01:10:30,719 --> 01:10:37,199
I guess you could say on August 6th
where they are going to be working on um

848
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:41,840
they are bringing together a group of
people to discuss how to legally hire

849
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:45,520
people from outside of the country so
you could call them immigrants there are

850
01:10:43,199 --> 01:10:50,960
some refugees but uh we've been working
with them on partnering uh for that

851
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:56,199
conference and then finally wedc has
asked me to be a uh Talent attraction

852
01:10:53,760 --> 01:11:00,640
Ambassador so they have a
uh Nationwide marketing campaign to try

853
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:04,760
and bring people into the state of
Wisconsin and I can tell you that I've

854
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:08,320
already fed about seven calls from
people and it's really interesting to me

855
01:11:06,679 --> 01:11:12,560
I'm thinking about one specifically from
Pittsburgh who reached out and they said

856
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:15,560
that they were they were really nervous
about coming out here but they were

857
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:19,360
trying to find a place they've got a
seven-year-old um and they wanted to

858
01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:22,360
find a place to live that has great
quality schools a place that's

859
01:11:20,719 --> 01:11:26,880
affordable they have a budget of
$300,000 for a home they would never be

860
01:11:24,679 --> 01:11:31,080
able to find home out there she said my
challenge is I've got to try and try and

861
01:11:28,719 --> 01:11:34,280
get my husband to come out here and he's
really used to going to New York which

862
01:11:32,480 --> 01:11:37,920
is 3 and a half hours away and I said
well do you recognize or do you realize

863
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:43,239
we're an hour and a half from Chicago
and she thought that was a real game

864
01:11:39,159 --> 01:11:48,320
changer people just don't know so
upcoming events that we have state of

865

everyone why they picked Jefferson

871
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:18,360

can we best position ourselves as a

872
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:22,719
county to win other
projects so that's all I oh that's a

except in the town of aelin where their
ward

887
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:43,920

Assembly districts so they were
