The following persons spoke with reference to Ordinance No. 99-03 on today's agenda: Weenonah Brattset, Suzanne Marks, Dick Nelson.

TO: THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WISCONSIN

Imaging Grant Project: A Land Information Grant Project was started in 1998 that will make several County department's land records available for retrieval, viewing and printing on the Document Imaging System used by the Register of Deeds Office. Software and scanning equipment were installed for Zoning Department scanning of various permits, petitions and other records. The Land Information Office also began scanning Rural Address Assignment forms and will be scanning Property Surveys and Government Corner records in the County Surveyor's Office as part of the grant project.

GPS Grant Project: Global Positions System survey equipment was purchased with Land Information Program Grant Funds. The County Surveyor began using the equipment to determine highly accurate coordinates on Public Land Survey Corners to perpetuate their location indefinitely.

Public Access Interface: An easy to use Computer Interface to Geographic Information was completed during 1998. The Interface has been installed in several County departments. The software provides access to numerous layers of Geographic Information such as: Ownership, Zoning, Land Use, Wetlands, Flood Plains, Soils, Roads and Aerial Photography. Additional map layers will be added as needed.

Use Value of Agricultural Lands: The Use Value Law passed in 1995 requires agricultural land assessments to be based on production costs and yield capabilities after a 2 year freeze. Use Values for agricultural lands are set yearly by Wisconsin Department of Revenue. Assessors are required to move assessed values toward the use values over a 10 year period ending in 2008. The Use Value requirements coupled with a Department of Revenue directive to reclassify all privately owned lands within public road right of ways as swamp and waste caused an increase in assessment changes submitted by assessors from 12,257 in 1997 to 23,637 in 1998. The Department is working with ICC Data Processing and assessors with computer assessment systems to transfer assessment changes electronically.

Law Change for Notice of Assessments: State law requiring mailing of notice of assessments 10 days prior to Board of Review for increases greater than $300 has been changed. The new law that takes effect January 1, 2000, mandates mailing out notice of assessments for all changes 15 days prior to Board of Review. This means the department will be printing notices for all 23,000 plus yearly assessment changes.

The multiyear table below shows a general continuation of the trends set by the previous four years.

The mission of the Jefferson County Health Department is the primary prevention of premature death and disability of all Jefferson County residents and assuring the conditions under which people can be healthy.

Jefferson County Health Department personnel interact with the community on the local, regional and state level. Employees take an active role in many community groups.

A service of the Jefferson County Health Department since 1968, the home health program provides skilled nursing, home health aide and physical, occupational and speech therapies to County residents. An average of 68 clients per month were seen in 1998. In 1999 Jefferson County Health Department will closely monitor the effects of the Medicare Interim Payment System as it relates to reimbursement and quality of care issues.

This in-home long term care and support program has been recognized state-wide as a cost-effective model of cooperation between the Health Department and Human Services Department in Jefferson County. Personal care services that enable people to remain independent at home are provided to elderly, disabled residents, and children with special health care needs in the County. The Personal Care Program provided 58,221 hours of service in 1998, averaging 218 clients per month.

This USDA primary prevention program has been in place in Jefferson County since 1976. Over 1,000 Jefferson County residents participate at any given time and food drafts contribute approximately $500,000 per year or $42,000 per month to local grocery store receipts.

Breast-feeding is strongly encouraged as a first food for infants. In order to assist families achieve this, the Health Department WIC program has become a breast pump rental station.

Public health nurses immunize County residents against vaccine preventable diseases including polio, diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella, haemophilus influenza type b, pneumonia, influenza, hepatitis B and varicella. A total of 8,575 vaccines were given in 1998.

The epidemiology team investigates all reported communicable diseases such as giardiasis, salmonella, chlamydia, gonorrhea, meningitis, hepatitis, food or water borne outbreaks to name a few and uses established outbreak control protocols to manage response to vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks.

Public health nurses develop and implement strategies with schools to enhance and reinforce the integration of AIDS/Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) prevention education in school curricula.

Important health information is disseminated in many ways. Public health nurses also serve as preceptors for UW-Madison School of Nursing BSN students in their community health clinical experience. Public health staff continue to provide educational sessions in the community.

Public health nurses provide primary health care services to all families with newborns and children through a comprehensive public health nurse home visit program.

Public health nurses serve as consultants regarding healthy lifestyle and prevention of chronic disease and communicable disease in school and child care facilities. They strive to increase immunization compliance of all children and staff in schools and day care facilities.

Starting in 1995 children enrolled in the Jefferson County Head Start Program were assessed for use of well water as their primary source of drinking water and need for fluoride supplementation. Supplements are provided free of charge through a MCH block grant. In 1998 there were 202 children who received fluoride supplements.

This program expands the eligibility limits of Medical Assistance for pregnant women and children up to age 6 so that uninsured working families in lower-middle income brackets can have health insurance coverage for prenatal care, delivery and well-baby/child care.

Jefferson County Health Department public health program will continue to work with Rock and Green County and the City of Beloit Health Departments to assess the needs of families with children with special health care needs.

Public Health Nurses provide comprehensive health services to inmates residing in the Jefferson County Jail. In 1998 the public health staff assessed 1,584 inmates for health concerns.

This primary care service for older and disabled adults was begun in 1990 to provide assessment and direct care of the feet and nails of persons who cannot manage this important task for themselves. In 1998 346 clients received services through the foot care clinic.

Since 1993 the Jefferson County Health Department has received grant funds to screen all children at WIC certification and Well Child Clinics for blood lead levels. Follow-up is provided as appropriate and according to public health protocol with home visits made for environmental assessments. 1,014 children were screened for presence of lead in their blood with 48 children with elevated blood lead levels.

Starting in 1994 Jefferson County Health Department has received funds for outreach to high risk women to encourage and facilitate screening, diagnosis and treatment of breast and cervical cancer. Starting in 1998 the Jefferson County Health Department has joined the Southeast Region Consortium to provide outreach, screening and referral services to high risk women in the following areas: diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, mental health and domestic abuse.

Project ASSIST is a grant awarded to the Health Department for the purpose of decreasing the number of people who use tobacco products, especially teens.

The focus of the Environmental Health program in Jefferson County is identification and abatement of environmental hazards that cause death and disease in Jefferson County residents, cooperation with local and state agencies that regulate different aspects of environmental health and provision of education, assessment and monitoring for specific environmental health problems for which the Jefferson County Health Officer has primary responsibility.

The Health Department Environmental Health Specialist will continue to provide education and investigation services to County residents with water quality concerns, asbestos questions, hazardous materials concerns, air quality problems, radon concerns, lead concerns, human health hazard complaints including housing problems, rabies control concerns, sewage and solid waste management. The environmental health specialist will conduct active surveillance whenever a hazardous waste site causes human exposure to hazardous chemicals. The environmental health specialist made 475 individual contacts for environmental health problems in 1998.

Starting in late 1998 a public health nurse implemented mental health nursing services to Jefferson County Human Services clients at the Lueder Haus and in the community.

Jefferson County Health Department has been awarded money to provide outreach services to two populations - those needing Medical Assistance and those needing immunizations.

Ms. Smith moved that the report be accepted, placed on file, and portions printed in the minutes. Seconded and carried.

TO: THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WISCONSIN

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD:

Our Resource Assistance area is the sub-program component which has seen the most dramatic changes over the past three years. Under Wisconsin law Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) has been eliminated and replaced with the Wisconsin Works (W-2) program. The Wisconsin Works program is actually a part of a larger concept, the Partnership for Full Employment, which is designed to centralize employment and training programs in Job Centers within Wisconsin counties. The Jefferson County Workforce Development Center is scheduled to open in early June of 1999. Partners that will be located in the Center include:

• W-2 Program and non-W-2 Programs (Medical Assistance, Badger Care, Food Stamps, General Relief),

• Job Service,

• Department of Vocational Rehabilitation,

• Private Industry Council

• Madison Area Technical College - Fort Atkinson and Watertown,

• Opportunities, Incorporated/Diversified Personnel Services, and

the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation

Additionally the University of Wisconsin-Extension Office will also be located within this building.

The Center will operate as one integrated and coordinated operation which will provide a full array of services to job seekers and employers. The array of services which will be available is currently being planned and organized by the partners.

In September of 1997 Jefferson County Human Services assumed a leadership role in welfare reform by becoming one of the first counties in the state to terminate its AFDC program and successfully shift the former recipients either to unsubsidized employment or to appropriate components with the W-2 program.

Approximately 50 families are currently involved in a variety of W-2 programs.

Declines in assistance provided in the Food Stamp and Medical Assistance areas have continued when comparing 1997 to 1998. Numbers of persons served on Medical Assistance declined; however costs rose slightly. This represents increases in the costs of medical services and nursing homes which recipients receive. These declines also represent the sharp decline in numbers of families who received AFDC up until early 1997.

The Personal Assistance Unit provides the protection and rehabilitation services that are the responsibility of a Social Services 51.42/437 and Elderly Services Department. Services may be provided by County employees or purchased from other agencies. Examples of such services include counseling, psychiatric care, court-ordered assessment and supervision, foster, group or residential care, inpatient hospital stays; sheltered employment.

During an average month in 1998, 1992 persons were enrolled as active clients. Of these 1014 received some sort of service in an average month. A total of 3183 different persons received some services during the year. This is a decrease of 45 persons from 1997.

The monthly average number of persons who received services during 1998 is 1014. This is a small decrease when comparing 1997 - 1030. The most common problems for which services are provided continue to be the developmentally disabled, mentally ill, intoxicated drivers, and children/family problems including delinquency, child abuse and child neglect.

The Elderly Services Unit assists County residents who are 60 years and older to live with dignity and independence in the local community. This unit provides a variety of programs and services which are funded primarily through the Federal Older Americans Act. These include congregate nutrition sites, home delivered meals, transportation services, benefit specialist, personal care services, and foot care clinic.

Over the next five years it is projected that the population of people age 86+ will increase substantially while the population of persons aged 65 to 84 will decrease. Given this it is imperative that we continue to provide a wide range of long-term support programs for the elderly and maximize the opportunities for people to live affordably in the community of their choice. Currently we are aware that approximately 40% of persons over 85 in Jefferson County live alone, 37% live with a family and 22% live in a nursing home.

Long term support services for County residents continue to grow steadily and we project that this will continue. Important changes in the Long Term Care System are being planned and piloted in Wisconsin. All counties will become part of this process in the next two to five years.

Department financial resources and expenditures are presented in summary schedule and graph format for 1998.

1998 operations resulted in a net surplus of $17,195, or 0.1%, as compared to budget. The net surplus has been lapsed into the County General Fund.

TO: THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WISCONSIN

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD:

During the year 1998 private land surveying continued at a brisk pace with 161 Plats of Survey, 193 Certified Surveys, and 8 Subdivision Plats being recorded.

Maintenance of the section corner grid system continues with replacement of broken or missing monuments. The resetting of private lot stakes, removed by road work, is also a maintenance item which is usually requested by either the private land owner or local government.

Survey projects were also done for the Parks Department, Human Services, County Fairgrounds and the Highway Department.

In August of 1998, Global Positioning System (G.P.S.) equipment was purchased from Topcon, using funds from the Land Information program. This equipment allows setting highly accurate coordinates without the time-consuming land traverse and line of site. The equipment includes 3 compact disc antenna and 3 receivers. Two antenna and two receivers are set up over known points. In Jefferson County these points are the High Precision Points, established in 1994, at 3-mile intervals. The third antenna and receiver is known as the rover. Occupation time is about 30 minutes in order to achieve survey accuracy. The receivers are then downloaded to a computer and the coordinate of the rover is attained. While G.P.S. is unmatched for establishing horizontal data, vertical data is still a problem, due to lack of good reliable elevation points in the State. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is currently working on the problem.

Respectfully submitted,

Thomas Wollin

County Surveyor

Mr. Lehmann moved that the report be accepted, placed on file and printed in the minutes. Seconded and carried.

HIGHWAY COMMITTEE REPORT

Crushing Equipment Purchase

Historically, the Highway Committee receives bids from multiple vendors for the purchase of equipment used in maintenance and construction operations. As a general proposition, this provides a competitive bidding process that helps ensure the County is purchasing high quality products at the best price. There are occasions, however, when special circumstances arise that give the County an excellent opportunity to upgrade its equipment outside that normal process.

The Highway Department crushing operations has typically produced over 200,000 tons of material annually in recent years. The present breaker unit is a 1967 Cedar Rapids machine with over 40,000 hours on it and has probably had over five (5) million tons of material run through it. We have experienced increasing breakdowns with the machine and replacement parts are scarce and expensive. The Department's 1999 budget statement included the possible replacement of the unit this year, subject to the availability of a suitable new or used unit.

This type of equipment has limited availability on the used market. Recently, a slightly used unit was brought to our attention by Bark River United Equipment Company. The contractor that purchased that breaker in April of this year determined that it did not meet their needs and subsequently ordered a different unit, making this one available. It had only 100 hours on it in mid-May, and should be available by August 1, 1999 for delivery after the contractor receives their replacement machine. It is rare to find a used unit of this type, with extremely low hours, that meets our needs. There is a small window of opportunity to purchase this unit, as other contractors have expressed definite interest in the unit. At present, the Highway Department has first option to purchase this crushing equipment.

The cost of a new machine of this make and model is $375,000. Bark River United Equipment Company is offering the unit to us for $271,500, which includes a $70,000 allowance for our present Cedar Rapids breaker.

We believe this proposal is in the best interest of the Highway Department and Jefferson County. Therefore, the Highway Committee recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the purchase of the used Lippmann 2248 Crusher from Bark River United Equipment Company, waiving the normal requirement to receive other bids, since no other vendor could offer us a similar proposal on an equivalent machine.

WHEREAS, the date established for the September 1999 County Board meeting is in conflict with matters scheduled for certain members of the County Board (Wisconsin Counties Association - County Board Convention September 12, 13, 14, 15, 1999),

Mrs. Turner moved that Resolution No. 99-32 be adopted. Seconded and carried.

Mr. Kisow reported on the Korth Farm Park Project and moved that the report be accepted and portions printed in the minutes. Seconded and carried.

The resolution before the County Board today is to enter into an option agreement with David Korth to purchase his farm on the shore of Rock Lake. The County would pay Korth $10,000 for the option, which must be exercised by December 1, 1999. That gives the County the opportunity to determine how much money, if any, will be provided in the form of grants from the Department of Natural Resources and how much money may be donated toward the purchase price before the County would decide to exercise the option and prepare its budget for the year 2000 accordingly.

The option price is $10,000 which Korth would keep if the County does not exercise the option. The option fee is credited to the sale price if the County goes forward to purchase the land.

If the County proceeds to purchase the land, it would do so in January, 2000. The County would have access to the land after closing the transaction. The outbuildings become available to the County on or before November 1, 2000. The home site is available not later than March 31, 2001. That is to accommodate Mr. Korth and Michael Ayers, who wishes to attempt to remove the house to another location by that date.

The sale price of the property is $1,185,000. Mr. Korth will retain a 2.5 acre parcel on the cul-de-sac on the northeast corner of the property, leaving the County with about 90 acres and all of the lake frontage. The agreement calls for down payment of $300,000, with the balance of $875,000 ($10,000 option credit) paid in quarterly payments over 15 years at an interest rate of 5 percent. The County may, after 10 years, prepay the balance if it desires.

Set forth below is an analysis of cost of purchase, development of the property into a park, and operating cost of the park. The analysis contains the estimated impact on the County tax levy based on current rates.

BUDGET YEAR EXPENDITURE/REVENUE LEVY IMPACT

2000 Down Payment $300,000

Est. Relocation Cost 40,000

Planning Development 60,000

Payment on Balance 77,000

2003-14 Payment $ 84,000

Operating Cost 30,000

$114,000 $0.033/$1,000

Assumptions include grants and donations in year 2000 totaling $300,000, $350,000 for planning and development over 3 years, $30,000 annual operating costs, stable costs and levy rate.

On a real estate parcel valued at $130,000, the additional taxes to fund this park would be $6.63 in 2000, $8.84 in 2001, $9.62 in 2002 and $4.29 per year thereafter until the balance is paid off, for a total of $76.57 over 15 years.

Estimated Total Costs 2000-2014 $2,333,000

Estimated Grants and Donations 300,000

Estimated County Levy for

Purchase, Development and

Operation 2000-2014 $2,033,000

WHEREAS, on August 12, 1997, the Jefferson County Board adopted the County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, which plan stressed preserving large natural areas and identifying four to six possible sites for natural resource-oriented parks, and

WHEREAS, the planning process subsequently identified several properties which would meet the goals set forth in the Plan, one of which is a 92-acre farm owned by David Korth located on the southwest shore of Rock Lake, and

WHEREAS, Mr. Korth has engaged in negotiations with the Parks Committee over an extended term for the purpose of arriving at an agreement to present to the County Board, which agreement has been reduced to writing and executed by Mr. Korth, and

WHEREAS, the agreement provides that Mr. Korth will, in consideration of payment of $10,000 (which will be credited against the purchase price if the option is exercised), grant Jefferson County an option to purchase his farm, less 2.5 acres he will retain, for the sum of $1,185,000 on the terms and conditions in the option agreement,

WHEREAS, the County Board will have the benefit of knowing the results of the Department of Natural Resource grant applications for this project and the amount of donations received prior to preparing the 2000 Budget and can make a final decision whether to exercise this option at that time,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the County Administrator is authorized to execute the option agreement on Jefferson County's behalf.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the sum of $10,000 be transferred from Contingency Account No. 1210.599901 to Korth Park Account No. 1811.593760.

(FISCAL NOTE: Budget amendments require a two-thirds vote of the entire membership of the Board, 20 votes.)

TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

The Jefferson County Planning and Zoning Committee having considered petitions to amend the Zoning Ordinance of Jefferson County, filed for public hearing April 15, 1999 and May 20, 1999 as required by law pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes, notice thereof having been given, and being duly advised of the wishes of the town boards and persons in the areas affected, hereby makes the following recommendations:

APPROVAL OF PETITIONS 2069A-99, 2047A-98-99M, 2075A-99,

DENIAL OF PETITION 2072A-99
