[3:00] Everts.

[3:02] >> I have nothing.

[3:05] >> Administrator Wilson, can

[3:06] everybody hear me?

[3:09] >> Because I'm way

[3:10] on the end here this time. So

[3:13] just two brief things. As

[3:14] everybody is aware, Mr.

[3:15] Desmond has decided

[3:16] to leave us

[3:18] for greener pastures in

[3:19] Marathon County.

[3:21] >> Well, they're pastors.

[3:22] >> I promise. I was nice to him

[3:25] the whole time he was here, but

[3:27] he will certainly be missed.

[3:28] He brought a level

[3:30] of professionalism back

[3:31] to the corp Council office that

[3:32] I think has been missing for

[3:34] some time. I know. I graciously

[3:35] appreciate his help,

[3:37] his picking up the phone,

[3:39] his answering an email. You

[3:40] will be truly missed,

[3:42] but definitely wish you well.

[3:45] And then secondly, the

[3:46] administrator's budget will be

[3:48] presented to the finance

[3:50] committee next week on

[3:51] Wednesday. I just want to make

[3:52] an announcement because I hear

[3:54] there's a rule rumor going

[3:55] around that the administrator's

[3:56] budget is not funding the

[3:58] healthcare center. Just so you

[3:59] are all aware,

[4:00] that is not true. There is a

[4:01] budget

[4:03] for the healthcare center to

[4:05] operate and continue operating

[4:08] in 2026. So I just want that

[4:09] kind of out there

[4:13] before we get to the 24th. So

[4:14] if anybody has questions,

[4:15] definitely give me a call.

[4:16] But it is funded

[4:17] in the budget.

[4:21] >> Thank you. County Board

[4:23] Chair report. Brian, I'm sure

[4:26] we'll get another opportunity,

[4:27] but I do want to thank you

[4:30] for coming here. You

[4:31] know,

[4:34] obviously when I first got

[4:36] on the board in 2018, we had

[4:38] Deb as an interim and then we

[4:42] got. Eventually got you. So

[4:43] it's. It was a smooth

[4:48] transition, but no, we do.

[4:50] It's just been nice

[4:55] to have your levity

[4:57] in the room kind

[5:00] of helping keep things

[5:01] on an even plane. And always

[5:02] being the voice of reason,

[5:04] even if we didn't agree

[5:06] with you all the time,

[5:07] you were always very succinct

[5:11] about what the law was and we

[5:12] appreciate that. Thank you a

[5:13] lot.

[5:29] We did

[5:31] put the WCA donation on. I just

[5:32] wanted to remind folks, but

[5:34] of course, Organicus, of the

[5:35] contribution that was made

[5:38] for the conference. $500

[5:41] to people helping people.

[5:43] Reverend Bill was beside

[5:44] himself and just really pleased

[5:47] that we did that. We also had

[5:49] an opportunity to attend a

[5:52] second graduation class where

[5:54] what were there, eight or nine

[5:55] folks that successfully

[5:56] completed the program,

[5:59] which includes sobriety,

[6:00] getting their certificates so

[6:02] they can go

[6:03] to work somewhere. So that was

[6:04] a fantastic opportunity, and I

[6:06] think that they're doing a

[6:08] great job over there. There.

[6:13] Sunday, the big show starts.

[6:15] There's a corporate meeting

[6:19] for Wisconsin counties

[6:21] association in the afternoon.

[6:22] There is some festivities

[6:23] in the evening if you want

[6:25] to come over early.

[6:26] Otherwise, the main event is

[6:27] on Monday morning. So we're

[6:29] looking forward

[6:30] to seeing everybody there

[6:33] at WCA next week. Last

[6:35] on my list, per the board

[6:36] rules, when we make board rule

[6:38] amendments, those proposed

[6:40] rules changes are presented

[6:41] to the board. They're not here

[6:44] for discussion this evening.

[6:51] Oh, so the rules change that

[6:52] says that the supervisor

[6:54] proposed the rules changes gets

[6:56] 5 minutes to speak

[6:57] about the proposal. So am I the

[7:02] sponsor? Who's the sponsor

[7:04] of this listed on the chart?

[7:06] Oh, it's listed on the chart.

[7:07] So if anybody, I guess, wants

[7:08] to speak

[7:10] about specifically any

[7:11] of their proposals, we may do

[7:14] that. Otherwise, if there is

[7:15] nobody wants to speak

[7:16] on this evening, we would ask

[7:18] that you relay your comments

[7:22] to. Well, it would have been

[7:23] to Brian. Is Nick going

[7:25] to be taking those or Lisa?

[7:27] >> Probably both of them.

[7:29] >> Both of them, yeah. Please

[7:30] consult with them. You know,

[7:31] talk. Understand what those

[7:33] were. And I'm sure if you want

[7:34] to talk to any

[7:35] of the e. L committee members,

[7:36] some of the determinations they

[7:37] made and why, we're glad

[7:39] to talk about those as well.

[7:40] Is there anybody who wants

[7:41] to speak

[7:42] on a specific proposal

[7:44] in front of the committee? All

[7:46] right. Knowing that next month,

[7:48] Let the games begin. We'll have

[7:49] that on the agenda. Perfect.

[7:52] >> All right, thank you. Item

[7:53] number 16, there is no

[7:55] unfinished business. Item

[7:57] number 17, new business. Item

[8:26] to your second?

[8:27] >> No, I believe Terry said it

[8:28] all.

[8:30] >> Well, thank you for being so

[8:32] precise and thorough

[8:34] in your comments. Is there any

[8:36] other supervisor who cares?

[9:40] we're going to use it for dock

[9:41] on Lake Redstone.

[9:43] At our boat launch, they took

[9:45] out the dock because it was

[9:47] in poor repair. And we're

[9:50] seeing if. If it was missed and

[9:52] it is. So we're going

[9:54] to use these funds

[9:56] to replace it. Thank you.

[9:57] >> Thank you,

[9:58] Supervisor Lord.

[9:59] >> I care

[11:12] You have the conservation

[11:14] plan. It's pretty self

[11:15] explanatory,

[11:16] but we have a nice little park

[11:18] with very little infrastructure

[11:19] in kind

[11:21] of an underserved community.

[11:23] spruce it up a little bit.

[11:29] to speak to your second?

[12:44] Second by Supervisor Polita.

[12:45] Supervisor Krieger, you have

[12:46] the floor. Thank you.

[12:52] process or the agreement that

[12:54] we had with the DNR

[12:56] for segment one and segment two

[12:57] of the Great Sauk State

[12:58] Trail. This deals

[13:00] with the entrance and or exits

[13:02] from both sides of the park.

[13:04] Gives us the ability to go out

[13:06] for bids to.

[13:09] For designing the trail

[13:13] on that real estate, and then

[13:16] also, in essence,

[13:17] gives us control

[13:19] over construction after that.

[13:21] We do not have the dollars

[13:23] for construction

[13:26] at this point. You know,

[13:27] that will have to come. Just

[13:28] like it did

[13:29] for segment one and Segment

[13:30] two. How the two segments are

[13:33] connected along a preferred

[13:35] rail corridor is the job

[13:39] of the dnr. Thank you.

[13:40] >> Thank you.

[13:42] Supervisor Plifka, do you care

[13:43] to speak to your second?

[14:12] >> Is there any approved design

[14:14] yet?

[14:15] >> No.

[14:19] >> Okay. Supervisor pepper.

[14:21] >> Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is

[14:22] there any idea what this is

[14:24] going to cost?

[14:25] >> I believe Marty spoke

[14:28] to the fact that the. This

[14:38] allows us to go out

[14:40] for business bids

[14:44] for the design portion

[14:45] of it.

[14:46] >> We do have some residual

[14:49] funds, but certainly, you know,

[14:51] that type

[14:52] of movement will come back

[14:53] to the full board

[14:54] for approval. But we'll know

[14:55] what we need once we go out for

[14:56] bids and have those results

[14:57] come back.

[14:58] >> Thank you. Are there any

[14:59] other supervisors who care

[15:00] to speak to Resolution 54,

[18:56] you care to speak

[18:58] to your motion?

[18:59] >> Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If

[19:01] I try and explain it,

[19:03] I'll mess it up. So if you have

[19:04] any questions. I do believe the

[19:05] highway commissioner is here

[19:09] tonight. So thank you.

[19:11] >> Supervisor Spencer, do you

[19:12] care to speak

[19:13] to your second?

[19:15] >> All I can say is that this

[19:18] will allow them

[19:19] for access control onto county,

[19:21] Beatty and other things

[19:23] where 12 was turned over

[19:26] to county trunk BD and stuff.

[19:30] This will give the county more

[19:31] control of access points

[19:36] to the highway. So I hope I

[19:38] didn't mess it up too bad.

[19:39] >> And before I go

[19:40] to Supervisor Dorner, just

[19:42] for the record, everybody,

[19:43] technically this was actually

[19:47] done years ago. We're just now

[19:48] getting around

[19:49] to the paperwork, which is

[19:50] somewhat common when we do

[19:51] highway transfers with the

[19:52] Department of Transportation.

[19:53] Supervisor dorner.

[19:55] >> Thank you, Mr. Chair.

[19:56] And maybe just clarification

[19:58] from our highway commissioner.

[20:00] This just applies

[20:04] to county trunk highway bd.

[20:06] >> Is that correct, Pat?

[20:08] >> Thank you. Any other

[20:11] Questions regarding Ordinance

[20:12] 5, 2025? Seeing nobody

[20:15] in the queue

[20:17] for your consideration? Is

[20:19] Ordinance 5, 2025 an amendment

[20:20] to Ordinance Section 5, 6

[20:21] of the Sauk county ordinances

[20:22] related to county highway

[20:25] access control? You may vote

[20:32] on the resolution. Now we have

[20:33] 31 in favor with nobody

[20:34] in opposition. Ordinance

[20:36] Ordinance 5, 2025 has been

[20:40] adopted. Brings us to item 18.

[20:41] We don't have any referrals.

[20:42] Item 19. Any new agenda items,

[20:44] particularly those that may be

[20:47] serious policy implications,

[20:49] please

[20:50] through the board rules,

[20:51] direct them

[20:53] to the administrator. On

[20:54] to item number 20.

[20:55] >> Motion.
