[1:44] We do not have any scheduled

[1:46] public comment. I do not have

[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

[8:25] care to speak
[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?

[9:38] We're getting cost share and
[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
[10:01] to speak to your second. Thank
[10:02] you.

[11:10] >> Thank you, Mr. Chair.
[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.
[11:22] So this is the plan to kind of
[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.
[12:48] >> This actually mirrors the
[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?
[13:44] >> No,

[13:57] >> Marty, is there any
[14:02] design, formal design,
[14:04] from the end of the trail in
[14:09] Badger to Baraboo?
[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.
[20:56] >> Second.

[20:59] by Supervisor Spencer B
