1
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,020
. .

2
00:00:33,090 --> 00:00:38,850
.

3
00:00:46,780 --> 00:00:50,380
830, I'm going to call this meeting to the court and ask the meeting of the faculty members.

4
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:50,700
Yeah.

5
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:53,140
Any trouble with comments?

6
00:00:53,380 --> 00:00:53,500
Questions?

7
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:55,140
Yeah.

8
00:00:55,980 --> 00:00:57,100
I'm hearing none.

9
00:00:57,420 --> 00:01:00,780
I'm going to move on to the good one minutes for August 6th.

10
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:02,680
Move to the good.

11
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,080
Much, much more smooth vibes.

12
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,220
I'm going to take a second.

13
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:06,860
This is the question.

14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:07,380
All right.

15
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:08,260
All the bear say aye.

16
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:09,060
Aye.

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:10,520
All right.

18
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,320
I'm discussion.

19
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,500
2027 budget recommendations.

20
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:14,720
Jason?

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,140
Yeah.

22
00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:16,980
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

23
00:01:17,940 --> 00:01:20,200
I'm happy to talk through the budget here.

24
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,380
You know, in general, I think as you've heard me say,

25
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:28,580
that's kind of status quo for all these departments,

26
00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:31,700
you know, compensation health insurance,

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,740
IT Chargers kind of driving things in a lot of these departments.

28
00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:40,920
So there are some additional revenues, adjustments,

29
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:43,800
you know, based on experience.

30
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,800
and we'll kind of talk to those at the departmental level.

31
00:01:47,820 --> 00:01:50,940
You know, we started out with the Parks Capital Improvement Plan.

32
00:01:51,540 --> 00:01:57,320
You know, in general, none of these items are included included in these finances.

33
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:01,640
We held them separately unless they're grant supported.

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:08,840
So I don't know if there's any specific questions on anything on these projects,

35
00:02:08,860 --> 00:02:10,960
but this is just kind of a five-year plan.

36
00:02:17,810 --> 00:02:22,090
I will move on to our land information office.

37
00:02:22,570 --> 00:02:26,130
So, obviously we move the sustainable and apartment.

38
00:02:27,410 --> 00:02:30,710
As we discussed, we have approved with the board the proposed tax

39
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:33,170
that is about $127,000.

40
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:35,030
That's an increase of about $50,000.

41
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:38,910
So that's due to the new staffing model we put in place.

42
00:02:39,790 --> 00:02:44,610
Now having two full-time, we will have two full-time employees in that office.

43
00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:53,210
The land information officer and the GIS technician, so we had budgeted a full time in like

44
00:02:53,210 --> 00:02:58,130
a point four and then we moved that point four to a full time sort of mid stream this

45
00:02:58,130 --> 00:03:04,110
year upon the retirement of our previous land information officer's no really no expansion

46
00:03:04,110 --> 00:03:07,890
requests or any capital projects in that department.

47
00:03:07,890 --> 00:03:11,640
I don't know if there's any questions on that.

48
00:03:12,420 --> 00:03:13,860
Just some questions.

49
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:15,600
Do you have a question?

50
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:17,800
JAS does that.

51
00:03:18,460 --> 00:03:21,720
My motivation on does work for other municipalities?

52
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,120
Can we do that?

53
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,300
We do not, though.

54
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,020
We talked about that in fact.

55
00:03:31,460 --> 00:03:33,700
Probably a subject for discussion.

56
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:37,600
I think maybe once we get the staff in place and things are settled.

57
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,160
charge for that? Yeah, I don't think so.

58
00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:45,900
Land and water management side.

59
00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:53,420
Levy there's about $820,000 again about a $50,000 increase. Again,

60
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,440
sellers and benefits are the drivers here. Health insurance costs. We have some

61
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:04,660
police which health insurance plans that always increase costs there. $77,000

62
00:04:04,660 --> 00:04:11,900
expenses $28,000 in additional revenues. We did remove some funding equivalent to one

63
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:18,340
intern position. Now we're not saying historically they had two interns. We're not saying don't have

64
00:04:18,340 --> 00:04:24,220
two interns. We're just saying, you know, when we budget 30,000 and spend 15,000 on interns,

65
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,480
we're going to dial that back a little bit. So we're not asking them to do less. We're just trying

66
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:35,800
kind of get the expenses in line there, you know we've increased some of the sanitation and zoning

67
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:42,500
revenues kind of based on experience, you know there was some additional state funding that came

68
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:48,140
through in the last budget so those are reflected here so you know approximately half of the overall

69
00:04:48,140 --> 00:04:53,080
departmental expenditures of this department are funded through outside programs and not

70
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:59,220
tax law they know again status quo no expansion requests or anything significant

71
00:04:59,220 --> 00:05:04,880
there the register deed as always kind of helps our general fund their

72
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,160
revenue generator gen does she's out there yeah chasing those deeds down

73
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:18,240
every day but you know so we'll have a just under $500,000 in more than

74
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,940
revenue so those revenues go right into the general fund and offset property

75
00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:28,700
taxes. We did increase them slightly, about just over $60,000. Kind of reflect what we've seen in

76
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:35,100
the last year and a half for years. So, you know, we have to talk about this mean a couple times,

77
00:05:35,260 --> 00:05:40,040
you know, we haven't been over a million dollars, except for the last couple years. So, we've

78
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,380
put into a little bit more revenue there. So, as I kind of discussed with the board yesterday,

79
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:51,280
a little more aggressive on the revenue side. They continue to do a lot of work down there. So,

80
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:52,660
So we're pretty comfortable with that.

81
00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:56,980
The drivers here, again, are salaries and benefits and IT chargers.

82
00:05:57,380 --> 00:06:01,940
So no expansion requests or no capital projects in land information.

83
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:08,000
I think with the land information office parents are now at that, that's a good question.

84
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,540
Not really because they're always kind of budgeted separately anyway.

85
00:06:12,140 --> 00:06:14,940
So there really wasn't much, there's no separation there.

86
00:06:16,180 --> 00:06:18,720
Maybe at one time we'd allocated a portion.

87
00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:20,600
Do we allocate a portion of your time?

88
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:29,140
maybe a portion of Ron's time at one point but a general or step or call allocated to the

89
00:06:29,140 --> 00:06:36,480
registered deeds office budget. Planning of Parkside levees about $1.36 million in price

90
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:46,120
about $50,000 or 4%. Salars and benefits here. Some operating costs with our ever expanding

91
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,100
planning park system kind of took the same approach here in terms of funding on intern

92
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:56,920
positions just kind of looking at what we spent historically last couple years and

93
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:03,680
dialing back some of those funds to reflect what we've seen actual. We did increase the

94
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:11,160
transfer from the Gulf course fund by $10,000. So I believe that's $140,000. So $140,000 of

95
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:26,720
The golf course revenue goes into the planning and course environment to offset their levy and supports their their parks operations so there's actually a lot more that happens between two in terms of staffing and things with this can replace that that was put in place.

96
00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:37,280
Boy, a number of years ago, it's sort of like a payment in lieu of taxes, just to kind of demonstrate to some of the private course operators out there that we we pay taxes.

97
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:45,860
of course. $11,000 increase in camping revenues, assuming that the new campground at Hawthorne

98
00:07:45,860 --> 00:07:53,180
Hills Park will come online. No expansion requests, status quo, and I talked about the five-year

99
00:07:53,180 --> 00:07:58,680
plan that you saw there. It talks about future parking, infrastructure and things, but much

100
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:04,220
of that is either supported through grants or will be looked at through our capital planning

101
00:08:04,220 --> 00:08:09,420
and funding process that takes place early in 2027.

102
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,420
You know, the expanding,

103
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,080
you're expanding permit.

104
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:16,580
Is it going to be pressure to make the increase staff

105
00:08:16,580 --> 00:08:19,900
as some of these things are perfect?

106
00:08:20,060 --> 00:08:21,340
I think at some point, yes.

107
00:08:21,620 --> 00:08:25,300
Although we've made a number of capital improvements,

108
00:08:25,540 --> 00:08:27,180
I put it in those automatic gates

109
00:08:27,660 --> 00:08:29,960
and things that kind of decrease some

110
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,200
of those operational costs.

111
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:38,200
So yeah, I think and really there's you know there's a handful of full-time

112
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:43,920
parks employees but most of them are sort of you know seasonal seasonal staff

113
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:49,460
that work obviously work more this time of year than they do in the winter.

114
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:54,860
On the extension side Levy there is just over a quarter million dollars

115
00:08:55,660 --> 00:09:03,680
$13,000, about 6%, again, so a couple things, it's the staffing IT costs and benefit costs

116
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:11,720
and then we also assume that additional funding for the egg position that was shared

117
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,520
between four counties and now shared between three counties and I think there was a 6% increase

118
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:23,900
about three thousand dollars. So their revenues are flat. I'm sorry, $4,000 for that state contract

119
00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:30,960
and employee. But that is included in the budget there. Very, very status quo across the board.

120
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:37,280
Golf courses. Again, fully supported. Obviously, no property tax. Let me go to support the

121
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:47,680
of course, operations, $2.65 million in revenues to offset the expenses there, and again,

122
00:09:48,940 --> 00:09:54,900
I think I said $140,000, actually $150,000 payment in Louis, Texas, from the golf courses,

123
00:09:54,900 --> 00:10:03,040
which is included in the expenses there. So obviously, we've done well the last number

124
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:11,500
of years, you know, $400,000 in 2024, $300,000 in 2025, and we're doing very well operation.

125
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,280
We have the golf courses this year, and if you think about the significant capital improvements

126
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:21,180
that we've done specifically, the irrigation systems at both the courses, I think it really

127
00:10:21,180 --> 00:10:26,900
reflects the overall kind of strong financial position that we have at the golf courses.

128
00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:36,120
So, again, very much status quo here, some additional revenues and some areas and some minor

129
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:42,780
expense reductions, but really not impacting the core team that we have working in all

130
00:10:42,780 --> 00:10:43,380
these departments.

131
00:10:43,740 --> 00:10:48,620
So, current level service budget, current service level budget.

132
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:54,820
It's an offer I can't hear from other golfers, it's important to note that, again, like

133
00:10:54,820 --> 00:10:57,900
and mention this is probably funded by CalPERS,

134
00:10:58,260 --> 00:11:01,080
not 10 players, kind of nice to see that

135
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,960
all these record count-how in the year of last year,

136
00:11:05,140 --> 00:11:07,120
what five consecutive years you've had record numbers

137
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,360
is keep bringing that this committee

138
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,820
and the Board of County continues to re-invest

139
00:11:12,820 --> 00:11:15,700
in the CalPERS rather than rap Peter to take

140
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:17,780
calls somewhere else and the CalPERS

141
00:11:17,780 --> 00:11:18,840
you're spending money out there,

142
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,440
we're re-investing in the CalPERS

143
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,720
and it's really showing that the CalPERS

144
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:31,580
is a partner out to the assumption of that pilot, that money goes to the parts because

145
00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:37,500
the parts we contribute to the fault pushes it away, I think it's somewhat of a symbiotic

146
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:44,200
relationship, but it is a revenue that goes right to offset the property tax in the parks.

147
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,200
When did we talk about the capital projects for this?

148
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:55,960
So that would be January. Yeah. Yeah. In the budget, the whole budget, you said there's

149
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:03,600
going to be net income structures like 530,000. Yeah, right around there. Pretty much. We're

150
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:18,180
going to be using that to make things work countywide obviously. Yeah. So again, we're still

151
00:12:18,180 --> 00:12:19,740
insurance is a bit of an unknown.

152
00:12:20,020 --> 00:12:22,960
We got a little bit of clarity on that this week.

153
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:23,560
Okay.

154
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:24,400
Yeah.

155
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:27,980
And again, most we have budgeted a 10% increase.

156
00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:31,720
And we anticipate we'll be hopefully a little bit under that,

157
00:12:31,820 --> 00:12:36,100
but right around that 10% increase for 2026.

158
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:40,020
So we said that to 90, it's only one point,

159
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,000
but that's a big number.

160
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,420
So one point is a big number.

161
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:43,200
Yeah.

162
00:12:43,660 --> 00:12:44,060
Yeah.

163
00:12:44,060 --> 00:12:49,140
And I think every point in health and trust county wise, about $75,000 in tax liabilities.

164
00:12:49,460 --> 00:12:53,740
So, I think it ends here, and you're helping to keep the cost down.

165
00:12:55,020 --> 00:13:02,960
Any other questions for Jason, but I'll make a presentation a couple of weeks, and then

166
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,340
this will go to executive committee on October 7th, I don't know.

167
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:07,680
All right.

168
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:08,220
Cool.

169
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:09,820
All right.

170
00:13:24,580 --> 00:13:31,640
I'll draw your attention to some of the attachments that were provided for you, our August

171
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:38,240
2026 Extension Reports, where Paul reported that he's working with Cedarburg Festival,

172
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,160
He's done a couple of strategic plans for them.

173
00:13:41,180 --> 00:13:45,520
Manuel is trapping along and I'm going to let Abby speak for herself in just a moment.

174
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:55,200
And then we included our monthly budget report and there are no major changes or any anomalies

175
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,180
on that, but I'll enter to questions and try to answer as best I can.

176
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,140
Okay.

177
00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:00,700
All right.

178
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:04,940
And then I just wanted to give you just an update, informational update.

179
00:14:04,940 --> 00:14:13,960
We, our crops and soils position, the 0.33% crops and soils, the position ends today.

180
00:14:14,180 --> 00:14:16,840
We're taking applications through the end of business day today.

181
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,560
We've got about 20 solid applications.

182
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,140
The screening process is going to happen over the course of next week.

183
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,600
And we're bringing in preliminary interviews and final interviews.

184
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,800
If any of you are interested in sitting in on final interviews, you are welcome to do.

185
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:39,620
so we have tentatively September 18th, so I'm pushing this along and my goal is to have this

186
00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:47,880
person in office by around October 15th. Provided, I can work with UW-Madison HR to really

187
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:54,520
get this thing going because we've been waiting on this refill for a while. So any questions there?

188
00:14:56,820 --> 00:14:59,900
Yeah, great thank you and I'm gonna turn it over to

189
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,280
Happy for her educator report. Thank you. So it's nice to see all of you after County Board Exchange. Are you loved that? So I appreciate you attending and talking with. Some of the things we just started our new 2026, 27, 40 to year. So enrollment open yesterday. We already have 37 kiddos enrolled. So that's pretty awesome. And we ended up just over 500 last year. And we're looking at hitting about 515 this year. So we're going strong. We had about 190.

190
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:38,160
78 volunteers and I want at least 100 this year so I've been reaching out to a couple new folks and we're hoping to get them in board.

191
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,340
We have a couple new programs that we're going to be doing and a few that we launched this year that's going to continue.

192
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:47,980
We have our Clover bus which is K through second grade that I did county wise and we had.

193
00:15:48,460 --> 00:15:55,460
Excuse me, we had three different programs throughout the summer for them and the response rate on that was 100% bring this back so let's do it again.

194
00:15:55,460 --> 00:15:59,960
So I get to put on my creative hat and figure out how we can make it even more fun for

195
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:04,340
next year because they really enjoy doing hot learn hills and the nature centers out

196
00:16:04,340 --> 00:16:04,560
there.

197
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,360
They enjoy the car products and crafts and the auditorium and running around with the

198
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:08,760
building.

199
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,240
So if you guys heard them, I apologize that they really enjoy learning about the county building.

200
00:16:14,460 --> 00:16:18,640
And then we have a lot of kids who are in that third grade range, so third through fifth

201
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,740
grade and they want something like this for them.

202
00:16:20,860 --> 00:16:25,280
So I will be creating a new program for them this next year as well as expanding

203
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:30,280
our older youth programming. So the high school age where we see our hardest retention drop-off,

204
00:16:30,580 --> 00:16:34,940
it's difficult when you have sports and everything. So we want to create a little bit more of a

205
00:16:34,940 --> 00:16:40,320
niche easier enrollment opportunity for them with some programming that they can do without such a

206
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:48,320
heavy load. Overall, it's going well. When the kids were at the last meeting, I thought the numbers

207
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,040
were down, the morning's many kids here as well. We have a lot of kids who are in private schools this

208
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,460
And they started that week and then we also had a lot of kids that stayed fair coming back that way.

209
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,560
Okay, the king and queen, they weren't really good at school.

210
00:17:04,380 --> 00:17:05,320
I just wanted to talk about it.

211
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:12,560
On part two, I like that two days later, I think, I tried it on some days.

212
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,140
There's Saturdays to the farmers market.

213
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,220
So like the broccoli?

214
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,500
Yeah, and I saw like three of them that like I'd actually talk to them.

215
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,380
Those kind of part of them.

216
00:17:20,780 --> 00:17:32,760
I have to tell you, too, as our oversight committee and as our county administrator, Abby is a rock star in the Wisconsin State 4AQ Development Area.

217
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:46,000
I was so honored to sit in on the performance reviews. This year, our annual performance reviews and this woman has single-handedly raised her participation levels.

218
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:54,720
and her and she is above state averages way above state averages in her recruitment and

219
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,400
her leadership and forage and I'm I mean you all should be very proud. I'm very proud

220
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,560
of her. It was just such such a treat to sit in on these performance reviews and listen

221
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:15,220
to her program manager, Drone on a boulder. I'm not already but it was just such an awesome

222
00:18:15,220 --> 00:18:20,140
experience. So you're welcome. The kids make it easy. Parents are a little bit more difficult,

223
00:18:20,140 --> 00:18:20,960
but the kids are cool.

224
00:18:23,180 --> 00:18:26,040
When you know your rocks have a baby vision and your tears,

225
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:35,380
yeah, you're welcome. So any other questions for extension? Thank you. Okay. Thank you.

226
00:18:37,620 --> 00:18:42,780
All right. My information is not only here right now. Oh, since I'm the

227
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:49,500
When information officer from the county right now, maybe I'll at least

228
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:55,000
the name, I'll give you a little bit of what's going on in terms of recruitment.

229
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:58,220
So, obviously we went through a recruitment process.

230
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:07,140
We actually keyed in a very qualified candidate kind of did the dance with that person for a number of weeks

231
00:19:07,140 --> 00:19:11,960
and then they ultimately said, you know, things but no thanks.

232
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,420
They lived not in the area and had to move and things.

233
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:26,780
You know, I think looking back, maybe we would have pulled the pin on that a little earlier than we did, but, you know, this was a really a plug-and-play candidate that we had.

234
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:29,760
And they didn't take the position.

235
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,860
So then we brought in our second candidate.

236
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,720
That person started and walked off the job after a week.

237
00:19:37,180 --> 00:19:42,540
so we found ourselves a physician without a land information officer. I think

238
00:19:42,540 --> 00:19:47,800
luckily with Liz Jen and our HR department's health obviously, you know, we've

239
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,920
coordinated with Washington County, we've coordinated with some outside contractors

240
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:58,520
and we actually had a candidate that that that we had an interview and is very

241
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,600
qualified. He's worked for Bureau land management. He worked for Army Corps and

242
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:07,860
other areas and he'll start on the 21st of this month so he actually he lives

243
00:20:07,860 --> 00:20:13,760
about a fuck he lives over by 20 kind of like a five-minute walk away here so we'll

244
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:19,760
be very excited to have to have him on board and get things going so things are

245
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,840
sort of we've been slogging through but I you know I feel like we're we're in a

246
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,280
good spot and we'll be able to get things moving until that person starts on the

247
00:20:28,860 --> 00:20:32,600
21st. So we're going to stop and see if we're going to share your help off as well.

248
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,620
A nice set.

249
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:43,820
Yeah. So, yeah, I like, you know, Kua's to Jen and her team, and I was the Kua's to our HR department for kind of getting the recruitment going.

250
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:51,080
And again, I know we some click the fan slowed down, but we've got a plan in place to keep them moving.

251
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,800
And so we work with the contractor.

252
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,040
They're going to help sort of on a time and materials basis and kind of hot items that we have to do.

253
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:04,620
And they'll also be available to train the new land information officer as needed.

254
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:12,640
So kind of let him get his feet under him and see what he needs and set him up for success.

255
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:25,020
Yes, so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, I would by hopes, I hope so, we're pretty, we're

256
00:21:25,020 --> 00:21:31,420
pretty confident that he will be he seemed pretty excited about about the opportunities and

257
00:21:31,420 --> 00:21:38,940
again, it comes with comes with a great amount of of GIS experience. So moving good shape there.

258
00:21:38,940 --> 00:21:43,500
All right. Thank you. We'll be on the register of these.

259
00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:47,840
All right. Good morning, Ben.

260
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,460
I don't really have too much to report.

261
00:21:51,740 --> 00:21:53,460
No big changes in our office.

262
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,080
Other than information, which Jason already talked about,

263
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,900
we're continuing to do property fraud alert outreach

264
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,660
since the vacant land owned by out of state property owners.

265
00:22:05,660 --> 00:22:07,960
That seems to be a trend where fraudsters

266
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:13,520
are targeting them. We kind of looked at the whole thing and decided to do a mailing to all

267
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,020
of the out-of-state property owners, you know kind of explaining what property fraudler is,

268
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:24,820
how easy it is to sign up, and give them instructions. So we've had a lot of very positive feedback

269
00:22:24,820 --> 00:22:30,200
about that, phone calls, emails, people stopping in saying, you know, thank you so much for doing

270
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:37,140
this. We went to wear this program. And in the report I had put, we had 458 new sign-ups and type

271
00:22:37,140 --> 00:22:41,000
I sent out that mailing and now we're up to 515 new signups.

272
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:44,820
So a lot of people are very interested in that program

273
00:22:44,820 --> 00:22:47,960
and very happy to have the information.

274
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,680
So yeah, I think that's really always good.

275
00:22:52,460 --> 00:22:53,560
I have a question about that.

276
00:22:53,580 --> 00:22:55,340
Yeah, I was, I signed up for it.

277
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:55,560
Right.

278
00:22:56,020 --> 00:22:58,380
It was just a transfer and death thing.

279
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,220
I got to know some, my daughter did too,

280
00:23:02,340 --> 00:23:04,420
but because she was, let's say, the beneficiary.

281
00:23:04,420 --> 00:23:10,140
that normally helps them that everybody that's, I mean, any name that's on the thing comes

282
00:23:10,140 --> 00:23:15,340
up and gets sent to the notice. So not only if you sign up, so only if she's signed up.

283
00:23:15,540 --> 00:23:18,700
Yeah, if she's signed up for property fraudeler, then she would get a notice. Otherwise,

284
00:23:18,860 --> 00:23:23,360
if you're, even if you're on the document, if you're not signed up, you wouldn't get a notice.

285
00:23:23,780 --> 00:23:29,160
So there ever be any kind of what I thought about is, what if I didn't want her to know that

286
00:23:36,460 --> 00:23:45,500
It's hard to get off of the list, so fraudsters can't just remove Tony from the list, so he doesn't find out that his property is being sold.

287
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,600
So they make it a little bit of a process, which is good.

288
00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:53,140
You have to send them proof, though.

289
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,080
Yeah, so you have to send them some type of proof.

290
00:23:59,480 --> 00:23:59,920
Yeah.

291
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,140
Any questions again?

292
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:06,160
Not.

293
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,120
Thank you very much.

294
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:07,960
All right, thank you.

295
00:24:08,120 --> 00:24:08,560
Thanks.

296
00:24:08,780 --> 00:24:09,180
Have a good day.

297
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,040
Moving on, the land and water is perfect.

298
00:24:13,580 --> 00:24:13,680
Good.

299
00:24:14,900 --> 00:24:15,060
Good.

300
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:15,600
Good.

301
00:24:17,420 --> 00:24:18,300
Nationative resolutions.

302
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,420
The middle of acceptance.

303
00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:21,400
The Wisconsin Department of National Research.

304
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:22,880
A couple years into the bulk.

305
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,280
A week grant to support establishment of a recovery.

306
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,380
one more key to your comments.

307
00:24:31,270 --> 00:24:32,500
Correct, now.

308
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:34,580
Look, Sir.

309
00:24:36,730 --> 00:24:38,260
Or should Miyage

310
00:24:38,260 --> 00:24:40,540
Please refer to ourselves.

311
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,100

312
00:24:43,540 --> 00:24:44,360

314

Nothing stringed or

anything,

316
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,020
no new grants or anything like that.

317
00:24:54,020 --> 00:24:56,460
Okay. Any questions?

318
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,660
Out of your plant sale on scene sale, though.

319
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,280
The plant sale went good.

320
00:25:02,660 --> 00:25:07,460
Yeah, I think it was like a little over 7,000 individual plants were sold.

321
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,200
So that went well.

322
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:14,680
And then after that, we had the clean sweep and other than that,

323
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:18,020
we're just kind of gearing up for the tree sale next.

324
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:18,740
Okay.

325
00:25:19,060 --> 00:25:21,000
That'll start sometime in mid-fall.

326
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,540
Well, did you get any takers on the big

327
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,040
for nursing the acreage people?

328
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,640
No, that stuff is kind of pricey,

329
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,200
so we sell a lot of the like quarter acres,

330
00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:37,720
but the bigger plots, no.

331
00:25:38,020 --> 00:25:38,380
Okay.

332
00:25:38,820 --> 00:25:38,920
No.

333
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,680
All right.

334
00:25:42,310 --> 00:25:42,710
Okay.

335
00:25:43,050 --> 00:25:43,530
Thank you.

336
00:25:43,710 --> 00:25:44,090
Thank you.

337
00:25:44,670 --> 00:25:47,910
All right, move that to the mining part.

338
00:25:47,910 --> 00:25:49,290
I'm going to start with the next one.

339
00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:51,850
I'm actually going to do one.

340
00:25:52,490 --> 00:25:54,570
Then in time frame, I'm going to go through

341
00:25:54,570 --> 00:25:56,950
our equipment to replace this internal equipment

342
00:25:56,950 --> 00:25:59,010
of the compound type.

343
00:26:01,810 --> 00:26:03,950
I'm going to move the motion to the front.

344
00:26:04,230 --> 00:26:05,030
I'm going to go through.

345
00:26:05,510 --> 00:26:06,970
Motion by supervisor Volga.

346
00:26:07,410 --> 00:26:10,530
I'll say seconded by supervisor Haynes.

347
00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:12,170
Any questions?

348
00:26:12,990 --> 00:26:15,290
That'll be our question on Davis AI.

349
00:26:15,690 --> 00:26:16,190
All right.

350
00:26:16,590 --> 00:26:17,490
Motion carries.

351
00:26:17,490 --> 00:26:24,630
I'm going to go on the concept of professional services for environmental site assessments

352
00:26:24,630 --> 00:26:38,750
that personal 040281200 and 040212120, and Tom Aquedonia for implementation of

353
00:26:38,750 --> 00:26:43,510
Wisconsin, Canada Development, Corporation, Brownfield, Site Assessment Grant,

354
00:26:47,620 --> 00:26:48,360
Emotioned

355
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:52,920
Vice President Cheso, second Vice President Deterra.

356
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:55,160
Any thoughts?

357
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,720
Not, I would call the question on the favor.

358
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:58,360
Say hi.

359
00:26:58,840 --> 00:26:59,020
Hi.

360
00:26:59,940 --> 00:27:00,860
Motion carries.

361
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:02,920
All right, we can add the discussion.

362
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,900
I'm just updating on finally part of the capital projects

363
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:08,340
and finally the parts that are in July to fall.

364
00:27:10,780 --> 00:27:11,960
Sure, just real briefly.

365
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,620
We do have two youth conservation course

366
00:27:14,620 --> 00:27:16,860
starting next week in the following

367
00:27:16,860 --> 00:27:18,020
the AmeriCorps team.

368
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,920
We'll be staying with us for a good chunk

369
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,360
to the fall, and then we also have a Wisconsin Youth Conservation Corps team, so they provide

370
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:30,200
us a lot of help with the restoration projects, tree planting, native seeding, et cetera,

371
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,240
sort of in conjunction with our fish passage and work with our highway department.

372
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,100
So that's one big thing we have coming up.

373
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,400
And otherwise, you're probably all aware of the County Highway W Reconstruction Project

374
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,540
we're in the midst of, in conjunction with highway and the village of Sockville, and that's

375
00:27:47,180 --> 00:27:48,260
moving along.

376
00:27:48,260 --> 00:27:51,880
Um, um, was turning out really well. That's where we're creating that

377
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,460
oxbow channel with the wetlands and, um, uh, I hope to get that online pretty soon.

378
00:27:56,980 --> 00:28:00,780
So we're raising the road up a little bit. Yes. Um, I don't know.

379
00:28:00,860 --> 00:28:04,660
The, I think two or three feet will be the highways. Uh, so we have a private

380
00:28:04,660 --> 00:28:09,600
contractor is working on the roadway part under highway and then highway

381
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,620
department, um, with our grant funds is doing the restoration work in conjunction.

382
00:28:13,620 --> 00:28:23,680
So it's a symbiotic relationship, there's some activities that need to kind of weigh down the highway contractor, but yeah, we're moving along.

383
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,580
We need work to do when we've got work for them, right?

384
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:27,240
Exactly.

385
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:32,980
All right, any questions from anybody?

386
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:34,720
I guess.

387
00:28:36,380 --> 00:28:36,980
Thank you.

388
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:37,620
Thank you.

389
00:28:37,620 --> 00:28:38,420
And I think that's strange.

390
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,560
I think we can't like...

391
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:41,640
Yeah.

392
00:28:42,980 --> 00:28:44,080
I can't believe that.

393
00:28:44,940 --> 00:28:46,620
This is what I'm using with the reality.

394
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:47,120
Yeah.

395
00:28:47,500 --> 00:28:49,540
I don't know if I can see that.

396
00:28:49,780 --> 00:28:50,760
Matt just got a promotion.

397
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:51,320
Yeah.

398
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,480
I've heard you've got a wide involved before.

399
00:28:55,740 --> 00:28:57,480
We are on the issues with that.

400
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:58,080
Yeah.

401
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:01,480
The next main thing is I could have a eight.

402
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,400
And with that, I would put a move on the issue too.

403
00:29:05,340 --> 00:29:08,840
I'm not sure if you guys can write it, but tell us a second, let's see if you guys can

404
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:09,000
write it.

405
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,740
It's just a little bit of a favor to say hi.

406
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:11,100
Hi.

407
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:12,420
I'm here.

408
00:29:12,940 --> 00:29:13,360
I'm here.

409
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:13,500
I'm here.

410
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:14,320
I'm here.

411
00:29:15,380 --> 00:29:15,660
Hi.

412
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:16,360
Hi.

413
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:17,600
Hi.

414
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,320
I mean, that's a, that's a,
