Right. So, demolition at the campus 36 00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:23,440 continues to proceed as scheduled. Three of the four buildings have been torn 37 00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:28,080 down. Um, they will start working on the copper top next week. We are in the 38 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,360 final stages of the sale to the school district for the remaining two 39 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,759 buildings. Later this month, the city will vote on the proposed CSM and then 40 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:40,080 the sale can be finalized. Um the ad hoc EMS district committee 41 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,800 creation committee has begun having meetings and held twoformational 42 00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:49,199 meetings with the town city villages. Um and at this time the municipalities have 43 00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:53,840 stated or started the process of exploring their next option and will 44 00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:58,000 reach out when they would like support. Um our time in our office has really 45 00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:02,720 been focused on the transmission line, the budget and insurance EMS and the 46 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,240 audit is wrapping up. that should be finished by the end of by the end of 47 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,800 this month we should have the final audit results. 48 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:14,639 And then the last thing that I have is um Rod Perry did resign from the board. 49 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:21,560 Um I want to just take a moment to thank him for his service um to the residents 50 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,560 of Richland County and Mashemwell. 51 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:34,639 » That is all I have. chair. >> Can I um add something with our 52 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:41,120 discussion with the ad hoc EMS? Um Dan Tims is their chairman 53 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:44,639 uh for this project and him and I have been emailing back and forth. He has 54 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,960 requests that they're they're coming to me. I'm sorting them out and and as 55 00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:54,479 things can needed, I'm getting information from 56 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,800 admin administrator Clemens to make sure they're getting that a flow of 57 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,639 information. At this point, they've asked like three questions. They have no 58 00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:07,919 one's asked us to come to any of their township meetings. Uh at this point, um 59 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:12,400 we've asked numerous times repeatedly and they said they are they have a 60 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:21,759 handle on it. I think their next meeting is se September 28th. 61 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:28,000 Uh we plan to do a public hearing reach out on September 29th. Uh the 62 00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:31,680 committee chose to not do that because at this point they are moving forward 63 00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:35,199 and that would be something that they should do to share information. It 64 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:41,039 really doesn't make sense to for us to try and share. 65 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:45,039 So, just as a followup, >> any other questions or comments for 66 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:52,160 county administrator with that second item with the um 67 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:57,120 transmission line? What we thought we'd do is just open it up and see what 68 00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:02,400 people know so far. We have any new information. 69 00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:09,520 The only thing I know is that um both Kurtz and Kiesi came out adamantly 70 00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:14,560 against the current line and they're claiming that that they need to go along 71 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:21,759 existing power lines as as the legislation as Keski has some idea of 72 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,560 some legislation she'd like to approve that she's going to work on this 73 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,919 session. So that's some positive 74 00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:36,479 feedback. >> I also read today that Congressman Van 75 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:44,440 Borgon has also done the same opposition and encouragement to follow 76 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,440 state statute as far as citing a long 77 00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:52,880 » chairman. Um, there was a meeting last week with Wisconsin Counties 78 00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:58,479 Association, the eight counties of the Becky line impacts. Carrie and I were 79 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:03,360 both on that call and there will be more calls to come. 80 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:09,599 » And Carrie did write a letter as county board chair. So, 81 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:14,960 » so that's the update that we know there. Anything more on that? 82 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:21,360 The comment date passed yesterday was the last of the com public comments to 83 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:26,960 submit to Becky to MGS regarding the line and now we're in a new period. 84 00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:31,440 » So I did submit a response last week on behalf of the county. I worked with 85 00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:36,000 supervisor Carol to get that completed. Um him and I both looked at it and we 86 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:40,719 did get it submitted last week. And I believe we have a resolution from 87 00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:48,640 natural resources and finances that's coming before the full board next week. 88 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:51,640 So we're moving on. Um 89 00:08:52,720 --> 00:09:00,000 moving on to item number eight, discussion of possible action. initial 90 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:06,399 resolution authorizing not to exceed $7.5 million in general obligation 91 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:10,080 promisary notes for capital projects. >> So today we have Carol Worth from 92 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:14,880 Wisconsin Public Finance Professionals here to present on both items number 93 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:18,560 eight and nine. Um I do want to point out in your packet is a PowerPoint from 94 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:23,519 Carol's presentation that she will be getting giving um an agreement with 95 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:28,720 Wisconsin public finance professionals the scope of enga engagement with Orals 96 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:35,000 and Brady which is our legal council and then the initial resolutions and then I 97 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:35,000 will turn it over to Carol. 98 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,160 Thanks for coming. 99 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,440 I think that's 100 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:14,240 okay. Well, thank you very much for the opportunity to meet you in person and to 101 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:20,480 present to you today. Um, in case you don't know who I am, I'm Carol Worth and 102 00:10:17,839 --> 00:10:25,200 I am what's called a municipal advisor, which is similar to a financial adviser 103 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:29,680 to an individual. Municipal adviser is an adviser that only advises 104 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:35,279 municipalities. Okay. I've worked with Richland County for 33 years. 105 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:40,160 So um so I've gone through a lot of history 106 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:45,040 with you. All right. So what we're going to talk 107 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:50,959 about today are actually uh there are two initial resolutions 108 00:10:48,079 --> 00:10:55,440 and we're also going to talk about the upcoming borrowings. 109 00:10:53,040 --> 00:11:00,000 Okay. And then we're going to review that long spreadsheet that uh last time 110 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:05,200 I was uh presenting over the Zoom meeting. Um we looked at the spreadsheet 111 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:09,760 for capital improvement projects and then we also tied the second page to uh 112 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,760 a larger project. We're not going to talk about that today. We're just going 113 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:20,160 to focus on what's happening now in 2026. Okay. So I'm going to begin my 114 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:27,200 presentation by just going through in general what an initial resolution is 115 00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:34,000 all about. Okay. So, this is required by u Wisconsin statute the statutory step 116 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:39,760 and what it does is it gives the county board authority to do a borrowing in the 117 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:44,480 future. So, it's all about the word authority. Okay? You're not borrowing 118 00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:50,240 money when you actually take action on it. You are giving yourself authority 119 00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:54,640 under the statutes. Okay? So that's the step every single county in Wisconsin 120 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:59,279 has to take when you want to do a borrowing. You got to give yourself 121 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:04,160 authority under the statutes. So that authority starts with the adoption of a 122 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:09,200 resolution called an initial resolution. Okay? Like think of it as your first 123 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:15,279 step. So it does not commit the county to do a borrowing. Okay? It just gives 124 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:22,160 you this authority to do a borrowing and you can does not tell you how many times 125 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:26,639 you can do a borrowing up to that dollar amount. It you can do it in phases. You 126 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:31,519 could do it all at once. If you do it in phases, obviously the collective amount 127 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:37,440 of the borrowings and phases cannot exceed the dollar amount in the initial 128 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:42,079 resolution. Right? So the um and also in the initial 129 00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:46,639 resolution it talks about doing a borrowing at a future date. So you say 130 00:12:44,959 --> 00:12:52,320 what happens if we don't ever do a borrowing? Well, that authority is good 131 00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:56,880 for a period of five years. If nothing is acted upon within that 132 00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:01,040 five years or all of the authority is not used within that five years, it just 133 00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:06,800 expires. Okay. 134 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:12,959 Um the initial resolution itself is prepared by Orals and Brady. That is the 135 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:17,920 counties what called bond council. They write legal opinions anytime you're 136 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:23,279 going to do a borrowing. Okay. So, really is has two things going on here. 137 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:28,160 There's a not to exceed dollar amount and there is a what's called purpose 138 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:32,320 language. The purpose language is written in a way that says if you are 139 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:38,240 going to do a borrowing, it uses authority. You can only use the borrowed 140 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:44,480 funds for what is described in that resolution. Okay? Those dollars can 141 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:51,360 never go into the county's operating budget. that only go for those projects. 142 00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:55,760 Now the other thing is the initial resolution 143 00:13:52,959 --> 00:14:04,160 has a requirement that in order to be approved it needs 34 vote of the members 144 00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:10,800 elect of the county board. So I was using a calculation of 21 board 145 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:16,720 members that would require 16 votes. I've been aware of a vacancy. When you 146 00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:20,959 have a vacancy, you subtract it from the number of board members that you 147 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:26,160 currently have. Okay? So that would make 20 board members. Three quarter vote 148 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:31,839 would mean 15 approved yes votes in order to pass. Okay? If you have 149 00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:37,760 somebody who is absent, an absence is an automatic no. 150 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:42,720 Okay? So that's the background of any initial 151 00:14:40,959 --> 00:14:47,519 resolution that would a county considers. 152 00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:52,560 Okay, then I'm going to the next page number two at the bottom. This is the 153 00:14:49,839 --> 00:14:58,959 initial resolution specifically. It's a not to exceed $2 million 154 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:03,199 general obligation Thomas knows for capital improvement projects. Okay, so 155 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:08,720 obviously right there at the beginning it's a not to exceed number. Okay, first 156 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:16,800 paragraph tells you what can it be used for. Right. It says for public purposes 157 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:22,320 including paying the costs of 2027 capital improvement projects. Okay. So 158 00:15:20,079 --> 00:15:26,399 we have a list of what those 2027 capital improvement projects are. So 159 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:31,440 that is what you're tied to in terms of a purpose. 160 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:38,320 So then it goes on to say that it would be desirable to authorize the issuance 161 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:44,959 of general obligation notes. Um and if so and again is a not to exceed number 162 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:50,079 for that purpose and that if you do author if you do borrow that money those 163 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:54,880 will be considered um taxable 164 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:58,880 general obligation notes that are prepaid 165 00:15:56,399 --> 00:16:04,800 through the taxes levied on all taxable property in the county. So that's what 166 00:16:01,199 --> 00:16:14,480 general obligation means. Okay. The next page is an initial resolution 167 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:18,079 for a not to exceed 7 and a half million general obligation notes. And this one 168 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:23,839 says for capital improvement projects as well. Now, so if you look at the first 169 00:16:20,959 --> 00:16:29,199 paragraph, that sentence that talks about the purpose language says paying 170 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:34,240 the cost of renovations and improvements to the courthouse and other county 171 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:39,680 buildings. Okay. So that is what is considered to be the project those that 172 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:46,160 is the purpose for which the 7 and a half million is intended to be used for. 173 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:51,279 So again everything else is identical to the other ref other initial resolution. 174 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:55,759 It just has the not to exceed number and that purpose language. That's the only 175 00:16:53,360 --> 00:17:01,199 difference between them. And keeping in mind that they don't that gives you 176 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:06,400 authority future date you borrow and you can 177 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:11,439 borrow in phases that collectively cannot exceed the dollar amount that not 178 00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:15,679 to exceed. Okay. So now we're going to move on to page 179 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:22,079 four and we're going to talk about the short what we call to differentiate them 180 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:27,039 we call them the shortterm notes. Okay. So this is a practice that's been used 181 00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:33,280 by Richland County for the last seven years. Okay, this goes back to 2020. 182 00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:38,559 This has been done where you borrow general obligation promisory notes that 183 00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:43,520 are paid off in approximately three months. So very short term. Okay. Okay. 184 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:48,400 So, what you're doing is you're removing certain capital projects from that were 185 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:52,559 within your operating budget and you're putting them on the borrowing side, but 186 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:58,640 you're paying them off right away. As soon as your taxes are levied, you 187 00:17:54,400 --> 00:18:01,919 collect the taxes, you pay them off. So, you're not advertising and it's not 188 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,840 like you're borrowing and then it's taking you years to pay it back. You're 189 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:10,000 as soon as the taxes are collected, you pay them off. 190 00:18:07,679 --> 00:18:14,960 The debt payment is short-term, but it's levied outside of levy limit. Right? 191 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:20,000 Your operating budget is subject to levy limits. So, when you pull the capital 192 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:24,240 projects out of your operating budget, you're putting them now on the debt 193 00:18:21,679 --> 00:18:28,400 side, which is outside of levy limits. By pulling the capital projects out of 194 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:33,200 your budget, you're creating room inside that operating budget for other 195 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:38,080 operating expenses. Okay? So, that was what the whole program was way back in 196 00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:41,840 2020. that you've been following ever since. 197 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:48,240 So with that, we're just going to take a quick look at what that structure looks 198 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:54,559 like. On the next page, we'll see the 2027 capital improvement projects that 199 00:18:51,360 --> 00:19:00,799 make up that million90. We're going to apply we're going to move 200 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:07,440 it up to 10 uh by 10,000 up to 2 million because we have to also cover expenses 201 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:12,799 of this when we borrow. So, we have some dollars that we anticipate coming in 202 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:19,200 from what's called premium. That's part of the process where the the winning 203 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:24,240 bidder, the underwriter, sells the notes to investors. The investors pay more 204 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:30,960 than $100 for $100 worth of bonds. That becomes premium. That premium is used 205 00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:35,280 for two things. So premium is um either held back by the underwriter to pay 206 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:39,360 certain expenses usually his expenses sometimes all the expenses but in this 207 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:44,240 case this is very short so he's only going to pay his expenses 208 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:50,160 and the rest of it if there is excess comes back to the county it goes into 209 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:54,960 debt service. So this is uh sources and uses of funds that is uh showing that 210 00:19:52,799 --> 00:20:02,080 you're also going to be investing the funds while you are paying your project 211 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:07,520 costs and those funds the investment earnings has to stay in the project 212 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:10,960 account. Okay. So we're also going to take advantage of some of that 213 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:16,559 investment income to cover expenses of issuance as well. 214 00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:24,080 The next page number six at the bottom shows you at the top 215 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:28,159 on March 1st of 27 the $2 million plus estimated interest and we're 216 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:34,000 assuming a rate of about five and a4 because this would be a taxable issue. 217 00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:39,200 And so the total amount in this case of 2,29750 218 00:20:36,159 --> 00:20:44,240 would be paid back on March 1. The bottom part is the pricing schedule. It 219 00:20:41,679 --> 00:20:49,280 gets a little bit messy. What I monitor is the yield column right in the middle. 220 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:54,880 The yield column is the market. Okay, that's what current investors are 221 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:59,600 getting for this type of a structure. Hear about market going interest rates 222 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:04,880 going up or down. That's what would be going up or down in terms of my 223 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:10,080 monitoring. Okay. So I I keep this in in a report so that when I come back to you 224 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:15,039 with actual results, I have something to compare that to to tell you what we 225 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:19,600 originally were looking at and what that final result. Okay? So these are 226 00:21:17,679 --> 00:21:24,000 estimates. Of course, they're not guaranteed being estimates. And later on 227 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:28,799 when you actually go through a borrowing, that's when I'll be able to 228 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:34,960 tell you what the actual rates are. Now looking at the principal and interest 229 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:40,240 payment of 2,ion29750 and if we divide it into your current 230 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:48,559 equalized valuation that gives you a tax rate of 88 cents which is $88 per on a h 231 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:53,440 100,000 of equalized or fair market property value. Okay. So we're not 232 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:57,679 talking assessed values. You'd be looking at a tax bill. You'd be looking 233 00:21:55,120 --> 00:22:02,960 at the fair market values on the tax bill. 234 00:22:00,159 --> 00:22:07,919 All right, we'll move on then to the 7 and a half million. 235 00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:12,960 7 and a half million is expected to occur in two phases. 236 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:17,200 In this 2026 year, we're looking at three and a half million and the 237 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:21,840 remaining four million at this point we're saying in 2029. 238 00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:27,280 Okay, that's how we're timing it. There's a list of the projects right now 239 00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:34,559 that collectively make up seven and a half. And the way they're spaced out is 240 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:39,840 from the word update to the uh final word courthouse flat roof replacement is 241 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:46,480 what's expected to uh be financed with the first three and a half million. 242 00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:50,720 The next two, the sec second floor and a third the second floor remodeled 243 00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:54,880 expected to be covered a little bit in this issue and a little bit the next 244 00:22:52,559 --> 00:23:01,760 issue. And then the bottom part is expected to be covered in the in the 4 245 00:22:58,159 --> 00:23:06,559 million in 2029. So we're going to only focus on the 246 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:11,200 three and a half million right now. So page eight has again the sources and 247 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:15,919 uses of funds with the three and a half million 248 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:20,799 and in this case the um the premium amount is a lot larger 249 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:25,679 and we're expecting the underwriter that bids on your issue to pay those expenses 250 00:23:23,679 --> 00:23:30,080 out of your premium. So therefore whatever interest rate you're looking at 251 00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:34,799 includes all those expenses. Okay? And then there is anything excess that is 252 00:23:32,159 --> 00:23:40,480 not used for expenses that comes back to the county and is used to offset your 253 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:46,720 death service. Okay. So that's page eight. Page nine. 254 00:23:43,919 --> 00:23:52,000 This is what the amortization looks like of that three 255 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:59,120 three and a half million. Okay. So you'll see from 2027 to 46 is how that 256 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:06,400 issue will be repaid. Fond means interest rate and the true 257 00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:12,559 interest costs of that column plus some premium coming back to you is at 4.6 258 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:17,279 and then that generates the estimated interest column and then principal and 259 00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:20,960 interest together is total estimated debt service. So that's your yearbyear 260 00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:28,720 and we'll be looking at that column again on the last page. Okay, 261 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:33,600 the next page is the pricing. And now the yield column on this page, right, is 262 00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:39,120 again what I'm monitoring. You can see this yield column is a lot different. 263 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:42,480 Starting in 27, it's 2.85. When we looked at the short term, it was 4%. 264 00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:48,159 That's the difference between something being taxable versus tax exempt. The 265 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:56,640 reason we're doing that is because if the county stays under $5 million 266 00:24:52,480 --> 00:25:01,600 of tax exempt debt, the county then has three years to spend the money without 267 00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:07,360 worrying about any monitoring for federal law purposes and or the rebate 268 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:11,919 of any of the investment earnings that the county realizes during that period 269 00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:16,320 of time to the IRS. So, it was like worth it to put the two 270 00:25:14,159 --> 00:25:21,120 million because it's so short. We're calling that one taxable. So, therefore, 271 00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:25,679 it's not subject to these rules at all. And it totally allows the county much 272 00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:30,480 more flexibility in keeping it money that it uses during this investment 273 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:35,600 period. Okay. All right. And then moving on to the 274 00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:42,799 timeline, um we're going to be coming back to um 275 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:48,320 county board meeting and we're going to present the same report to county board. 276 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:53,760 We are also working on the preparation of what's called an official statement. 277 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:59,600 An official statement is like a perspectus looks like this. 278 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:04,720 It's a book. It's like a prospectus that you would get if you as an individual 279 00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:10,559 investor was buying security and it describes the county. It has your um 280 00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:17,440 most current audit has financial information. It talks about the 281 00:26:12,159 --> 00:26:21,600 borrowing. Um so that is an official statement. 282 00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:27,679 We are also going to be applying for a rating from Moody's Investor Service. 283 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:33,840 Okay. So that's going to uh require some additional preparation of documents to 284 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:41,039 uh have that conference call that will occur I believe on October 9th. County 285 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:45,200 is currently rated A1 by Moody's. So we will uh as soon as we have that 286 00:26:43,679 --> 00:26:49,840 conference call then we're going to distribute all the information the 287 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:54,320 official statement out into the marketplace. We're going to take bids on 288 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:59,840 October 20th at uh between 9:30 and 10 because there's 289 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:05,600 two issues here. And then we bring those results back to the county board that 290 00:27:01,919 --> 00:27:09,679 night at six o'clock uh for the adoption of two different resolutions. Now we're 291 00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:15,760 going to they're going to call them award resolutions. Those resolutions at 292 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:19,520 that time you will be borrowing money. That's a different type. That's not an 293 00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:24,000 initial anymore. that is you saying yes, we are accepting the interest rates and 294 00:27:21,919 --> 00:27:27,919 the bid from the from the winning um underwrite. 295 00:27:26,159 --> 00:27:33,279 Then all the money comes to the county on November 19th. That's called the 296 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:38,960 closing. So that's when all the wires come in and each one of them goes into 297 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:44,720 their project accounts. Okay? So that would be the conclusion of the process. 298 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:50,159 And then to the very last page, I'm giving you one of those spreadsheets 299 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:55,279 again. Again, just to keep track and this spreadsheet is prepared in the same 300 00:27:52,880 --> 00:28:00,720 way, but I want to call your attention to some differences since the last time 301 00:27:57,279 --> 00:28:06,559 we talked. Um, the valuation column, the equalized value column. 302 00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:13,440 On my other report, we did projections going out for for the first five years 303 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:22,399 at 5%. Okay, this has been updated because our 2026 equalized valuation 304 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:28,960 which is actual now came in at 8.8%. So we started with that 8.8% increase 305 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:35,840 and then we went 5% for four years and so on. Okay, so just updated it for 306 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:40,000 that. The actual existing is the same. So then we calculate a tax rate. The tax 307 00:28:38,159 --> 00:28:45,200 rate is just taking the debt service divided into the valuation. 308 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:51,039 Then we moved over one column to put in the shortterm capital improvement, these 309 00:28:48,399 --> 00:28:55,760 $2 million notes. Okay? So we updated the second number there to reflect the 310 00:28:53,440 --> 00:29:01,440 numbers you've seen in this report. Again, you'll see there's that 88 cents 311 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:05,200 as far as the tax rate. Okay? And then moving over, you'll see to the to the 312 00:29:03,679 --> 00:29:08,880 right, you'll see the three and a half million that we just talked about. 313 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:14,559 There's the principal and there's the interest and a tax rate. And then keep 314 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:19,200 going. You'll see there is the projection for the other four million of 315 00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:23,039 the seven and a half million coming in in 2029. 316 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:28,960 So you'll see that, you know, starts obviously in the year 2030 317 00:29:25,919 --> 00:29:33,679 and and it goes goes down. And then you'll have your principal and your 318 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:39,200 interest and your tax rate. And then your combined number 319 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:45,840 and your combined tax rate. So right now that combined tax rate is anywhere from 320 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:50,080 four to five cents less than the number that we looked at the first time. And 321 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:58,720 that is driven strictly by the fact that your valuation this year came in at 8% 322 00:29:53,360 --> 00:30:02,559 rather than 5%. That's all. Okay. All right. I know that was the last to 323 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,520 go through. >> Very thorough. Thank you. 324 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:10,039 » Okay. >> Questions, comments, thoughts, 325 00:30:14,159 --> 00:30:18,679 » you are so thorough. There's no questions. 326 00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:23,279 » I was going to say that that's good to know because I always try to anticipate 327 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:30,320 them. >> Thank you very much. 328 00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:38,960 Um Shirley just asked about a motion. Um county clerk, can we go to 329 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:42,080 7.5 million resolution, please? Can you read that for us? 330 00:30:52,080 --> 00:31:01,520 uh resolution 26 um initial resolution authorizing not to exceed $7.5 million 331 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:05,840 general obligation promisory notes for capital improvement projects. Now 332 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,600 therefore be it resolved by the Richland County Board of Supervisors that the 333 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:14,080 county borrow an amount not to exceed $7,500,000 334 00:31:11,679 --> 00:31:18,880 by issuing general obligation promisory notes for the public purpose of 335 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:23,039 financing the project. Um there be and there hereby is levied on all the 336 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:29,279 taxable property in the county a direct annual tax such and in such amounts as 337 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:38,159 are sufficient to pay when due the principal and interest on such notes. 338 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:42,720 Motion by Welty, second by Thompson. 339 00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:48,080 It's still on the table for discussion. Any discussion? 340 00:31:45,679 --> 00:31:54,880 » Just clarifying that this resolution going through referring to the 7 million 341 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:59,200 for projects that it is going to have to go to what is listed in 342 00:31:57,679 --> 00:32:03,120 here under that seven and a half million. 343 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:07,919 » Correct.

Can you do the same thing for the $2 million? 347 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,720 » Yes. 348 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:30,240 Initial resolution authorizing not to exceed $2 million general obligation 349 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:34,480 promisory note for capital improvement projects. Now therefore, be it resolved 350 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:39,679 by the Richland County Board of Supervisors that the county borrow an 351 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:43,760 amount not to see exceed $2 million by issuing general obligation promisory 352 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:48,480 notes for the public purpose of financing the project. there be and 353 00:32:46,159 --> 00:32:52,880 there hereby is levied on all taxable property in the county a direct annual 354 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:59,200 tax in such years and in such amounts that they're sufficient to pay what do 355 00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:05,120 the principle and interest on such notes your pleasure 356 00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:11,679 motion by second by Thompson it's on the table for discussion anything 357 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:17,200 all in favor signify by saying I >> any opposed motion carries 358 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:24,240 Thank you. Moving on to item number 11, discussion 359 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:28,080 and possible actions on the 2027 county health insurance. 360 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:33,360 » So we have Kyle from the insurance center should be online and if you could 361 00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:37,200 stop sharing so that he is able to share your screen that would be helpful. 362 00:33:36,399 --> 00:33:42,080 » Okay. >> So what we are looking to do um there is 363 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:46,159 a resolution in the packet. Um, I will let Kyle do his presentation and then I 364 00:33:44,159 --> 00:33:49,360 can highlight what the resolution would look like. Kyle, are you ready to take 365 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,799 over? >> I am. It says I'm sharing. Can you all 366 00:33:51,039 --> 00:33:56,399 see it? >> Yes, we can. 367 00:33:54,399 --> 00:34:00,000 » Uh, so we have kind of just a couple updates to slides from the meeting last 368 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:04,720 month. I thought I would just jump into the relevant and updated information, 369 00:34:02,399 --> 00:34:07,760 but if there's any questions or, you know, previous parts of the presentation 370 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:11,679 you'd like me to go back to, I'm more than happy to. To do a quick one minute 371 00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:15,520 summary, we've been looking at making some improvements to the health plan 372 00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:19,919 while being conscious of the budget. Last meeting, we decided that courts 373 00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:23,280 would be our best fit and we needed to decide what we wanted to do with 374 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:27,119 contributions with the county's contribution towards it and what 375 00:34:24,879 --> 00:34:32,720 employees would contribute. So, as a reminder, the 2027 budget with the ETF, 376 00:34:29,919 --> 00:34:35,839 if we were to remain there, was $4.6 million. 377 00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:39,119 Tough to predict because we don't know if people are going to change within the 378 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:43,520 plans. It could be more than that, but if everybody kept the plan they had 379 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:48,480 today, that would be the total cost for next year. And of that mix, the 380 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:53,440 employer, you, the county, was paying $4.2 million, and the employees were 381 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:57,680 contributing $400,000 out of their paychecks towards the plan. So, with 382 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:01,280 courts, we were going to bring in two plans. A plan that would allow people to 383 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:06,240 have a lower price point and a little higher deductible, as well as HSA 384 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:11,520 eligibility, should be new. and then a secondary plan that was um or primary I 385 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:15,359 guess better than what the current ETF plan design was. So we're trying to give 386 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:20,400 people a better option than what they're used to or a less expensive option if 387 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:26,320 that would be their preference. And so we figured that number would land 388 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:31,760 between 3.8 million and 4.037 million. So both quite a bit under what 389 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:34,880 ETF cost would have been. uh Trisha and the team and I have spent a lot of time 390 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:40,480 going between the plans and the contributions and what we came up with 391 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:45,760 for a recommendation uh was having a employer contribution of 90% towards the 392 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:50,640 co-pay plan which again had co-pays first dollar which does not exist today 393 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:55,920 as well as better prescription coverage um and a better deductible than what the 394 00:35:52,880 --> 00:36:01,599 current ETF plan was and then the HSA plan having a 94% contribution and the 395 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:07,280 reason that's higher is the full price of that plan was significantly less than 396 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:11,040 the current ETF premiums were. Uh we didn't want to make it free for 397 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:16,079 employees. We want to have them to have some skin in the game. Um but you know 398 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,599 having a higher contribution towards a cheaper plan just makes a ton of sense. 399 00:36:18,079 --> 00:36:23,440 So if we do this and I have a slide where I'll show you what that looks 400 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:28,240 like. Overall the employer Richland County would save $540,000 401 00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:34,880 for the year compared to going with the ETF. and employees would save $65,000. 402 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:38,480 So, we're splitting that savings basically even with what the 403 00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:42,720 contributions would be. The numbers could improve with these budget ideas. I 404 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:47,040 mean, if more people choose the HSA plan, the county saves even more. Our 405 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:52,000 goal was to incentivize employees to take the lower cost plan while keeping 406 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:55,440 the better option very comparable to what most people are paying today or 407 00:36:53,599 --> 00:37:00,480 potentially even less than what people are paying today. Another idea within 408 00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:05,440 that was to incentivize employees to move to the HSA plan. The county would 409 00:37:03,359 --> 00:37:09,359 take part of the savings uh and potentially contribute towards an HSA 410 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:13,520 for those who choose the higher deductible option. And the reason for 411 00:37:11,599 --> 00:37:17,760 that is the county currently contributes towards the deductible for those who are 412 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:22,240 on the co-pay plan. So, it's not really any new money. We're just shifting it to 413 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:27,839 a different bucket. And obviously overall the savings of $540,000 414 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:32,320 to the county is pretty significant and $65,000 less coming out of your 415 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:36,720 employees pockets. So these were the two plans. If this is too fuzzy, I can 416 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:41,440 switch to the actual Excel spreadsheet. It's hard to fit it onto a PowerPoint 417 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:46,800 screen. But our option one again was 1,500 deductible, 3,000 out of pocket. 418 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:50,560 Keeping the deductibles embedded, meaning if one person meets the 419 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:54,000 deductible, it's just individual. whereas today they have to meet the 420 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:58,400 entire family before their benefits kick in. And then co-pays for prescriptions 421 00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:01,599 and doctor visits from first dollar instead of having to meet their 422 00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:07,520 deductibles before any coverage kicks in. And then on the right side is our 423 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:11,760 HSA plan or higher deductible option with a 4,000 deductible. We wouldn't 424 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:16,560 force anybody into that, but they would have the decision on which one they 425 00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:25,359 would go with. And the county would save $175 per employee per month who chooses 426 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:30,079 the HSA and $434 a month per family who chooses the HSA plan. And you do have 427 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:34,400 more families than you do individual. So we are really really being conservative 428 00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:38,560 with these budget numbers. Obviously if more people migrate to the HSA you're 429 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:43,040 going to save even more money. But again that combined dollar amount instead of 430 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:48,800 being 4.2 million for the county for here would be 3.6. six and the total 431 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:53,800 cost for the employees would be 335 instead of over 400,000 for the year. 432 00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:01,240 Questions or I can slow down and revisit any of that if you'd like me to. 433 00:39:03,119 --> 00:39:10,240 I do want to highlight with our resolution um and just be very clear 434 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:15,359 with the courts one option that is the 1500 or 3,000 deductible in employee 435 00:39:13,359 --> 00:39:21,119 contribution would be 92 a month for a single planner 226 a month for a family 436 00:39:18,079 --> 00:39:26,079 plan we would have the H reimbursement for the last 500 or thousand of the 437 00:39:23,359 --> 00:39:31,119 deductible 500 for a single,000 for family that is what is existing for the 438 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:36,160 HR and then the courts too would be the $4,000 or $8,000 deductible. The 439 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:40,800 employee contribution would be 45 a month for single, 113 a month for a 440 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:46,240 family plan, and then the county would make a contribution to their HSA. Um, 441 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:50,520 per year for a single would be 500, and per year for a family would 442 00:39:51,839 --> 00:39:58,960 » Yeah. And with that, so we're not making it free, but an employees net cost would 443 00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:02,880 be like a dollar a month to be on coverage if they choose the HSA plans. 444 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:05,839 By doing that, hopefully we have, you know, your younger, healthy people that 445 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:10,000 are waving coverage today because it's too expensive 446 00:40:07,599 --> 00:40:13,119 find the plan to be a good fit. So, we're doing everything we can to make it 447 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:19,400 as close to free without being free and still saving the county and the 448 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,400 taxpayers a lot of money for the year. 449 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,320 » Any questions, comments? 450 00:40:25,839 --> 00:40:33,920 Before we would go to the resolution, I'll turn it to county administrator for 451 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:38,400 her thoughts on on this. >> I'm I'm in support of doing this. Um 452 00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:42,560 like Kyle stated, we've spent a lot of time talking about this. Um I know there 453 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:47,200 was some hesitation with leaving the state plan because if we leave, there's 454 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:50,960 a penalty if we go back. Um things that we have to our advantage with leaving 455 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:55,520 the state plan is we start to get our data. We're able to start using that 456 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:59,839 data to negotiate rates in the future. we don't have that ability with the 457 00:40:57,119 --> 00:41:04,800 state plan. Um, and in all reality, we got three different bids and they 458 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:08,319 weren't bad bids. Um, so we're really hopeful with being able to have our 459 00:41:06,319 --> 00:41:13,040 data, with being able to work with employees on how to control costs that 460 00:41:11,359 --> 00:41:17,599 we'll be able to continue to get competitive bids in the future. Um, we 461 00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:19,760 will continue to support being away from the state plan. 462 00:41:19,599 --> 00:41:23,920 Are >> there are there health incentives that 463 00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:28,960 go along with the court's plan? Whether that's uh 464 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:33,520 fitness center, health checks, things that look forward to that might help 465 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:37,440 these costs. >> Can you answer that? 466 00:41:35,359 --> 00:41:41,040 » Yep. I I can I heard you. Uh so those are all things that we would look to 467 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:44,800 implement in the first year, two, three years of working together towards us to 468 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:48,640 keep rates down. When you're with the ETF, there just isn't any reward for 469 00:41:47,119 --> 00:41:52,240 doing those things because even if you have a good year of claims, you still 470 00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:56,640 get the increase of everybody else in the state. So, we've already been in 471 00:41:54,319 --> 00:42:00,880 talks about steering employees to centers of excellence, bringing in a 472 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:05,200 wellness program in the future as well, and those would be, you know, points of 473 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:10,240 discussion for next year that we could really turn on any time. Um, or um, you 474 00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:13,040 know, courts can include some of those things, but we did not include those 475 00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:19,200 things in the court's plans today because there's not a lot of that going 476 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:23,760 on currently either. but with a $600,000 savings in county costs. Not that we 477 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,720 want to spend that, right? But there's a lot of things that the county could do 478 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:29,720 with that, you know, to invest in employees. 479 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:40,000 After our meeting um two weeks ago, I did send an email to all employees 480 00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:43,680 outlining what the next step was going to be so that they were aware. I did 481 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:47,599 say, "Please reach out if you had questions." Um, I did have a couple of 482 00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:54,280 questions that were brought to me. Um, but I did not have anybody with 483 00:42:50,079 --> 00:42:54,280 pitchforks outside of my office. 484 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:59,839 » Yeah. And I I think it's worth just reminding, you know, we did multiple 485 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:03,359 educational meetings with your benefits committee this year. We surveyed all of 486 00:43:01,839 --> 00:43:07,760 the employees and got really good engagement from the surveys um to make 487 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:11,920 sure that if we spent the time to consider this, we were doing what the 488 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:15,760 employees were asking for, not just what for sure I thought was right or what the 489 00:43:14,319 --> 00:43:21,240 budget felt was right. You know, we wanted to make sure that it was what 490 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:21,240 they wanted, not just what we wanted. 491 00:43:22,319 --> 00:43:29,280 I really appreciate all the time and effort that went into working with 492 00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:35,359 employees, surveying them, having multiple codes, and coming up with when 493 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:38,400 both employees and the company. So, thank you. 494 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:42,200 » Sounds like we're ready for the resolution to be read. 495 00:43:57,359 --> 00:44:03,839 All right. Um, but we're going to probably need that back on the screen. 496 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:10,280 » Yeah, >> thank you. 497 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,280 Here we go. 498 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:15,040 » Yep. I stopped. You want Do you want me to stop sharing? Is that what you were 499 00:44:13,599 --> 00:44:19,599 saying? >> Yes. 500 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:25,520 I think I already did. Jeff, >> I think we're good. I took it. Uh, 501 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:29,839 resolution approving the contribution and reimbursement schedule for health 502 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:33,040 insurance for 2027. Now, therefore, be it resolved by the 503 00:44:31,359 --> 00:44:37,040 Richland County Board of Supervisors that approval is granted to change the 504 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:42,079 premium and reimbursement schedule as follows. 505 00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:48,079 Uh, ports one $1,500 to $3,000 deductible. Employee contribution $92 a 506 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:54,480 month for a single plan 226 a month for a family plan.

Thank you for all your work 529 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:57,760 and we appreciate your time. >> Absolutely. Thank you everybody. Have a 530 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,760 great night. 531 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,440 Um 532 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:10,240 item number 14. So where this one comes from is when we 533 00:47:07,359 --> 00:47:15,359 were initially doing the evaluation for the county 534 00:47:13,119 --> 00:47:22,920 administrator, we each ran into real difficulties with the IT program and our 535 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:32,240 iPad. So, what we'd like to do today, um, Trisha's already talked to him about 536 00:47:29,839 --> 00:47:37,599 one issue that she'll talk about. What we'd like to do is generate a list of 537 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:43,200 issues that we'd like them to respond to today. 538 00:47:39,359 --> 00:47:49,359 Okay. So, issues that we had that we'd like it to respond to. And here is one 539 00:47:46,319 --> 00:47:51,680 and it's resolution from the administrator. 540 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:57,040 » So, one of the challenges was documents. when documents are sent to you um and 541 00:47:54,240 --> 00:48:00,960 being able to complete them on the iPad. What we're looking to do is that we will 542 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:04,800 have them create the documents, them send the documents to you so that we 543 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:09,440 know that they are compatible to the iPads. So that is one thing that we will 544 00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:14,319 look to do moving forward. Anytime there is a document, we'll send it to them. 545 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:18,160 They will send it out to so hopefully that will help with that issue in the 546 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:22,960 future. >> Other issues 547 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:27,640 And we should be able to send it back filled out. 548 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,640 » Yes. Yes. 549 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,960 Send it again. Yes. 550 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:42,480 » I know with mine when I tried to save it, anything is Word. Word hasn't hasn't 551 00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:49,040 been uploaded on this yet. So, I'm wondering if all the iPads have uploaded 552 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:52,480 Word programs on them or some do and some 553 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:57,520 don't. >> I don't I don't know because mine will 554 00:48:55,119 --> 00:49:03,280 say uh when it first comes on there's an update to be done, but I don't have the 555 00:48:59,839 --> 00:49:08,160 room doesn't have the room on the >> Okay. 556 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:12,960 What I learned is there's this icon that's iOS apps 557 00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:20,960 » and that anything that's in the iOS apps is available to download to your iPad. 558 00:49:18,559 --> 00:49:24,480 » I didn't know that until month or so ago. 559 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:28,200 » What is the name of that icon? >> iOS apps. 560 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:35,319 » Looks like this. It looks Yeah, 561 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:42,920 » but maybe I it got pushed to me because I kept asking for things. Um, 562 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:54,319 » and that is one thing that we'd like to do when I talked with MIS is to create a 563 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:58,640 kind of a frequent problem and how to solve it. If we could even have that as 564 00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:01,839 an icon on your iPads that that might help. 565 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:06,760 So, one of the things that I've noticed is when I go to the Richland County 566 00:50:07,359 --> 00:50:13,680 site and if I'm navigating around and I go 567 00:50:11,839 --> 00:50:18,880 back every single time, it takes me to the administrator page and I have to 568 00:50:16,240 --> 00:50:23,200 close it out al together, start over again. 569 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:29,520 Does anyone else have that problem? >> Yep. It made me feel important. 570 00:50:27,119 --> 00:50:33,480 I I guess I didn't realize it had to do that to be. Yeah. 571 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:39,880 One thing I would like to correct with this is every time I go to 572 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:48,480 download all the little stuff in my packet, my iPad will not do it. So, I 573 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:53,040 have to go through a series of I have to clear off all my back screens. I have to 574 00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:58,880 shut it off, turn it back on, go back into it, and then try to download it. do 575 00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:04,480 it three times then it will download my packets. That is a sequence I have to do 576 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:08,480 every every single time or it will not download my 577 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:13,440 packet will only download if I'm here in the room 578 00:51:10,319 --> 00:51:16,760 otherwise it's incomplete and it just hangs up. 579 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:22,599 So I haven't been downloading the packets. 580 00:51:23,359 --> 00:51:28,800 Do you um one question they had, do you shut down your iPads on a regular basis? 581 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,800 » Yes. Okay. >> Yes. 582 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,800 » Wow. 583 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,160 » So good. 584 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:49,040 » I didn't I changed it up, but I don't think I hit the middle button or 585 00:51:47,119 --> 00:51:54,880 something to change the temperature. No over behind. you know, when we have 20 586 00:51:52,559 --> 00:52:01,359 different users with 20 different skill sets in terms of computer, I wonder if 587 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:08,800 you know, once live by monthly we would have like a 20 588 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:15,119 minute board accounting board session iPad training 589 00:52:11,359 --> 00:52:19,040 or something like that basic basic iPad. Well, 590 00:52:15,839 --> 00:52:23,599 » to get all 20 on the same page given the skill sets can be really difficult. 591 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:30,319 » Well, the other thing too is like like I say, my iPad is as full as they can get. 592 00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:34,960 » I can't upload, you know, anything. >> Uh there's there's stuff here like 593 00:52:32,079 --> 00:52:39,119 safety features or whatever. This little guy just is not going to take it because 594 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:43,520 there's no more room. And when I got this iPad, I took it over across the 595 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:47,680 street. Come to find out, he says, "Well, yeah. you need these pictures. 596 00:52:45,119 --> 00:52:52,559 And I go, "What pictures?" And he and he said, "Well, you I said, I 597 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:58,880 don't need any pictures. I just need the basics." And uh so when when some of 598 00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:03,119 these iPads are given out to county board members, there's a lot of old 599 00:53:01,359 --> 00:53:08,559 stuff on there that should have been clean before we even got them. And that 600 00:53:06,319 --> 00:53:11,960 takes up room on your memory. 601 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:19,839 And I know there's probably still some stuff on this little guy that I don't 602 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:23,000 know how to get to it or how to get rid of it. 603 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:33,000 » And they're old. >> Oh, do you 604 00:53:28,240 --> 00:53:33,000 » any other thoughts or anything on this? 605 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:39,359 » I would think if you ask the full county board, 606 00:53:37,839 --> 00:53:43,440 they have list. >> Pardon? I think if you asked the full 607 00:53:41,119 --> 00:53:48,800 county board of supervisors if they had items, they would have four. 608 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:54,319 » So, shortly after I got them in this role, we did a county board survey with 609 00:53:51,359 --> 00:54:02,000 MIS. Would you like us to do that again? >> Only if we can comment and note on it 610 00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:06,720 and send it back. Well, I might ask you by um here's the previous survey 611 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:11,040 that we did if you want to just take one and pass it around and let me know if 612 00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:15,920 you want other questions added and then I will have MIS add this to the packet 613 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:19,760 or add share this with you so that it can be fillable and returnable. 614 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:24,359 Um >> Microsoft 615 00:54:21,359 --> 00:54:24,359 something 616 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:40,559 And like do you have access to Microsoft Word on your iPad? 617 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:47,040 » Access to it. Yeah. Ongoing training pops right up. 618 00:54:43,599 --> 00:54:50,240 Well, it takes a while. And they said that, "Oh, you can do this 619 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:55,359 at home, but then it comes back to where I have to have back down there with my 620 00:54:53,359 --> 00:55:00,720 computer and my phone is I'd like to be able to have my emails on my phone 621 00:54:58,720 --> 00:55:04,880 » so that I have quicker access to them rather than my iPad because a lot of 622 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:09,200 times with that, you know, you have once you flip it on all stuff and and and get 623 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:13,760 your emails, I would rather be able to see it almost like instantly every day 624 00:55:12,319 --> 00:55:16,079 on my phone." And I've kind of gone round and round with them and they're 625 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:20,559 like, "Oh yeah, you just do this, this, this, and I do what they say at home and 626 00:55:19,119 --> 00:55:24,880 it doesn't work because then it says needs 627 00:55:22,319 --> 00:55:28,319 provider access or something from it." And it's 628 00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:31,800 I would love for them to be here and just do it. 629 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,319 » Anything else? 630 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:45,640 » Thanks. And um it's a good chance. 631 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,640 » Um 632 00:55:46,319 --> 00:55:56,640 can we just quickly bring chair up to date? Um we did pass 633 00:55:53,200 --> 00:56:02,160 7.5 million and $2 million resolutions. We postponed the county draft budget 634 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:06,799 because the budget numbers weren't in. We're going to do that Thursday. 635 00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:13,200 We did pass the county resolution on county health insurance. We did pass the 636 00:56:10,079 --> 00:56:19,280 resolution to leave the state. >> That's where we're at. 637 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:25,040 Um, now we are on number 16, which is 638 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:30,599 supervisor's question. 639 00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,599 » I'm sorry. 640 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:40,559 » Oh, yeah. 15. 15. Yeah, that's a This was your 641 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:47,520 suggestion you put on the agenda. >> Yeah, the board of adjustments currently 642 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:52,880 has three members. We need five. And so I would ask that 643 00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:57,200 the county board of supervisors to perhaps contact people and see if we can 644 00:56:55,359 --> 00:57:00,960 bring people from throughout the county. It'd be helpful if people were from 645 00:56:58,799 --> 00:57:05,760 different townships and not having duplication with townships too. 646 00:57:04,319 --> 00:57:13,720 So I know that that's an issue with board of adjustments and perhaps other 647 00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:13,720 committees that make I don't know. 648 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:20,559 » We can certainly add that to the agenda. It would be nice to have a short blurb 649 00:57:16,799 --> 00:57:25,040 about what the adjustments do. I'm not sure everybody knows. 650 00:57:23,359 --> 00:57:28,319 » Yeah, I can talk about it. I'm not the chair of that. 651 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:31,359 I was going to say I did put something on the news and announcement section 652 00:57:29,839 --> 00:57:36,960 about the board of adjustments probably six weeks ago and had a little blurb of 653 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:41,040 what it is, but we could add that to the full county board packet and ask them to 654 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:42,559 phone a friend and see if they can get somebody. 655 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:46,319 » That'd be helpful. >> That'd be helpful. 656 00:57:44,319 --> 00:57:50,280 » If we have one issue where a member would need to refuse themselves, 657 00:57:53,920 --> 00:58:02,079 » anything else on number 15? Item 16, measures to increase effective 658 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:06,960 communication. Tiffany, this was the agenda item that you asked to have on. 659 00:58:04,799 --> 00:58:12,400 Yes, we talked about it a little bit before in some other meetings and um 660 00:58:10,799 --> 00:58:17,119 wanted to bring it up again just because I think it's a very useful thing with 661 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:21,359 the different things that have come across the county and different things 662 00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:26,079 that as far as not wanting to be blindsided by the public on being asked 663 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:32,880 different questions. It would be nice that if um there could be just an email 664 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:37,520 sent out from the administrator or clerk, whoever has to send it out. So, 665 00:58:34,559 --> 00:58:42,079 it's not a a forum thing. Um, you know, just to send out an FYI. Hey, look, this 666 00:58:39,839 --> 00:58:47,680 is what happened, you know, if questions are brought up. Um, you know, hey, here 667 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:52,640 here's a good response, you know, just so that we're all on the same page. We 668 00:58:50,799 --> 00:58:57,040 come across with what I feel like a unified truck so that it's not like 669 00:58:55,040 --> 00:59:00,640 somebody asks you a question, you I don't know anything about that, you 670 00:58:58,319 --> 00:59:04,799 know, and and you just you're just caught off guard and then you don't get 671 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:11,960 back with with it. So that's that's what I would like 672 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:11,960 to kind of discuss. 673 00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:21,400 Do you have an idea or 674 00:59:22,079 --> 00:59:30,720 what what would the trigger be? What would the the 675 00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:34,240 is it the water cooler doesn't work? Is 676 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:37,839 obviously we're not interested in that people may be upset about. But I mean 677 00:59:36,079 --> 00:59:45,079 what what's what what do you create as a trigger to make sure that that is a your 678 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:45,079 guideline maybe 679 00:59:46,799 --> 00:59:52,640 I don't want to keep bringing up the school board but with that what we've 680 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:58,559 done through our guideline with that is anything that would hit the media 681 00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:02,720 is what we put on there because anything that's going to hit the media and of 682 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:06,960 course nowadays you've got stuff going on on social media constantly and it 683 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:11,200 blows up in a hurry. Um, different things like that. So, anything that 684 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:16,720 would hit the media, it would be nice to be notified it of it before it hits the 685 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:24,079 media so that we're prepared. Um, I know one comment was the 686 01:00:21,119 --> 01:00:28,480 while ago the flooding that happened at the campus. I remember people asking me 687 01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:30,960 about that and I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about. 688 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:34,079 They're like, what was there flooding? And I'm like, I don't think so. You 689 01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:39,760 know, I'm like, I didn't hear anybody. Then it came on the radio, you know, and 690 01:00:36,799 --> 01:00:44,000 then, you know, it was the community was all talking about why wasn't this, why 691 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:48,240 wasn't this, why wasn't it, you know, monitored and all all this stuff. It 692 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:52,799 just would have been nice to say, here's what happened. It was being looked 693 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:58,319 after. This was, you know, just so you could foresee like some of the questions 694 01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:02,960 that would come forth so that the county would have been able as far as the 695 01:00:59,839 --> 01:01:11,079 county board would have been able to feel those questions and all be looking 696 01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:11,079 like we all know what's going on. 697 01:01:12,079 --> 01:01:20,240 I know Darene if so going back to the water situation that was a little 698 01:01:18,559 --> 01:01:25,440 » I learned about I wasn't on the county board and I learned about it right away 699 01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:30,319 because I attended one of the standing committee meetings where it was 700 01:01:26,559 --> 01:01:35,200 discussed and so I'm wondering whether it would be helpful to have the ch 701 01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:42,799 committee chairs standing committee chairs an ad hoc committee chair if 702 01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:42,799 there is an item that is somewhat 703 01:01:43,359 --> 01:01:51,440 of interest by others perhaps to submit those to the county administrator and 704 01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:54,440 then the county administrator could back 705 01:01:55,440 --> 01:02:00,559 that you that you received input. It wasn't solely on you to figure out 706 01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:05,520 sifting through everything that comes up. Is this an item or not? But perhaps 707 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:10,799 the chairs of the committee that entertains those topics. 708 01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:17,839 » Yeah. Like E. coli in Pine Valley water is important. That'd be newsworthy. 709 01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:20,559 » That newsworthy idea. It's pretty clear >> as long as we're not talking social 710 01:02:19,359 --> 01:02:23,359 media news. >> Correct. 711 01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:26,880 » There's a difference. >> There's a big difference. 712 01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:31,760 » Yeah. Everything else 713 01:02:29,119 --> 01:02:32,480 has no weight to it whatsoever. >> Yeah. 714 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:37,040 » Yeah. >> I do like the idea if the chair says, 715 01:02:35,359 --> 01:02:41,520 "Hey, administrator, please share this with the board." I think they should 716 01:02:38,559 --> 01:02:46,760 know. I love that idea because it's not just me trying to figure out what it is 717 01:02:43,119 --> 01:02:46,760 you want to know. 718 01:02:48,799 --> 01:02:55,920 Carrie, that might be part of your chair's report. You recommend the 719 01:02:53,680 --> 01:03:01,599 department chairs that whenever there's something newsworthy that happens that 720 01:02:57,599 --> 01:03:05,040 we inform all the capable members. I think it's it could be department 721 01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:10,960 chairs, it could be standing committee chairs. It's people that are informed 722 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:15,280 and aware that they recognize that there's a greater need to share this 723 01:03:12,319 --> 01:03:18,880 with the >> it's pretty much common sense. I don't 724 01:03:16,799 --> 01:03:24,480 think we need a formal notion on it or anything. And I would I guess I would 725 01:03:21,359 --> 01:03:30,160 think that if something comes up like the campus wire, I guess for some reason 726 01:03:26,799 --> 01:03:34,240 that keeps creeping out. Um and I think I was on that committee that brought 727 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:40,160 that up and that was probably days later, but we may not have had a 728 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:43,599 meeting for three weeks. So unless the chair knew about that to 729 01:03:42,079 --> 01:03:48,240 say, "Hey, maybe we should do something about this." 730 01:03:45,839 --> 01:03:53,200 It just happened. I said that for three days after it happened, we had a meeting 731 01:03:50,720 --> 01:04:00,160 and I got a call on it too and I I called the administrator said going on 732 01:03:56,160 --> 01:04:03,680 and answered questions. I think it's pretty common sense because 733 01:04:01,599 --> 01:04:08,000 last time I remember it happened real clearly was when the county board chair 734 01:04:06,559 --> 01:04:10,640 found out about the election, he sent that right right about right away. 735 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:15,520 » Okay. Right. >> Yeah. So it it was pretty clear. So in 736 01:04:13,839 --> 01:04:19,119 that case, it wasn't it wasn't presented at a meeting, but he found out about 737 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:21,760 something and then address it. >> Then he immediately responded to 738 01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:24,559 » perfect what you're saying. They didn't have to wait for for that committee to 739 01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,480 have a meeting, >> right? 740 01:04:25,039 --> 01:04:30,160 » Make that decision. All right. >> That makes more sense. 741 01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:36,880 » I understand >> because that was media focused. 742 01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:43,039 » Anything else on this hearing? None. We will move on to number 743 01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:47,119 17, the close session. The chair may entertain a motion under close session 744 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:50,640 pursuant to Wisconsin statute section 19.85 745 01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:54,880 considering employment promotion compensation and performance evaluation 746 01:04:52,559 --> 01:05:02,520 data by the employee over which the government has jurisdiction or exercise 747 01:04:57,599 --> 01:05:02,520 responsibility the county administrator. 748 01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:13,520 Do we have a motion to go into close session? Motion by second by Kramer. 749 01:05:09,599 --> 01:05:13,520 Roll call vote please. 750 01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,839 Kramer, >> yes. 751 01:05:17,119 --> 01:05:19,359 » Angel, >> yes. 752 01:05:18,559 --> 01:05:21,039 » Wely, >> yes. 753 01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:22,480 » Johnson, >> yes. 754 01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:26,200 » Frank, >> yes. 755 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,200 » Sever 756 01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,799 » speaking up.
