Jefferson County Treasurer

County Clerk Barbara A. Frank reported that a claim has been received from Donald E. Upham based on a back injury allegedly sustained by Mr. Upham while in custody in the Jefferson County Jail on May 13, 1997.

The claim was referred to the Corporation Counsel.

County Clerk Frank read a letter from Senator Russell Feingold acknowledging receipt of the Jefferson County Board resolution in support of naming a Seawolf Class submarine the "U.S.S. Manitowoc" and assuring the Board of the support of himself, Senator Kohl and Congressman Petri for the effort.

The communication was ordered received and placed on file.

The County Clerk read a memorandum from Ken Bolton of the University of Wisconsin Extension Office informing the Board of the recognition of Supervisors Lloyd A. Holterman, Leon Zimdars and Carl F. Jaeger for their many years of service to the UW-Extension Program. Said recognitions were presented during the Annual Conference of WACEC held in Milwaukee on June 22-24, 1997.

The communication was ordered received and placed on file.

The County Clerk read a Notice of Public Hearing from the Zoning Committee. Petitions for Zoning changes from the following persons are on the hearing agenda for Thursday, July 17, 1997 at 7:00 p.m.: From Agricultural A-1 to Residential R-2, Donald Payne, Town of Sullivan.

Mr. Buchanan introduced Mr. Ed Virnig of Virnig, s.c., the firm doing Jefferson County's annual audit.

Mr. Virnig addressed the Board, giving a brief report on the results of the 1996 audit. He reported excellent cooperation with the audit, timely issuance of reports, unqualified opinions on financial statements, no material weaknesses in internal control, and compliance with rules and regulations. In summary, he stated the financial health of Jefferson County is very good. (Because of the length of the document, the Annual Audit Report is not reprinted in the minutes but is on file in the County Clerk's Office and available for public inspection and examination during regular Courthouse hours.)

Mr. Buchanan moved that the report be accepted and placed on file. Seconded and carried.

Mrs. Frances McGinley Anderson, Administrator of Countryside Home, presented the annual report for the Home for 1996.

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT

The resident census for 1996 averaged 226.4 per day, or 86.4 percent of the licensed bed capacity of 262. Due to the air-conditioning project all beds were not available for use until mid-February. The occupancy level did not begin increasing until late in the year.

The air-conditioning project was completed in October, 1996. The total project costs were $1,509,275. Due to the timing of completion, the warranty period has been extended through the 1997 cooling season.

The lawsuit relating to the broken underground oil line was settled out of court for $42,500. The County had previously collected $10,000 from insurance coverage. The total cost of remediation, which was completed in 1993, was $182,611.71. The Department of Natural Resources had not approved closure of the site pending their satisfaction with our completion of soil remediation of two oil storage tank sites.

Additional revenue was obtained for the fourth year from the Intergovernmental Transfer Program. The 1996/97 I.T.P. award is estimated at $1,434,000. The final award for 1995/96 was $1,512,246.

A study of the emergency electrical standby system was completed. Funds in the amount of $344,500 were budgeted for 1997 for the purpose of replacing an existing generator and upgrading the emergency power system.

We have participated throughout 1996 as a member of the Department of Health and Family Services' Long Term Care Redesign Coordinating Council and an associated Steering Committee. It is expected that the redesigned system will result in further changes in where and how long term care services are delivered and how they are paid for. The Department's plan can be more specifically evaluated and responded to when it is formally released in 1997.

We have been participating with the Human Services Department and others since October, 1996 in discussing a project with Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin. Goodwill has been interested in writing a federal HUD grant for developing an elderly housing project in Jefferson County.

A new telephone system was installed. At the same time, computer cabling was added in anticipation of expanded computerization in 1997.

An alarm and monitoring system was purchased to promote resident safety and security. The system will be expanded in 1997.

The key areas of planned activity in 1997 include the following:

1. Completion of the standby emergency electrical system project.

2. Implement clinical record keeping software.

3. Continue to monitor the state's redesign of the long term care system. Evaluate the need for changes in Countryside Home's operation in light of the redesign and other factors such as managed care contracting.

4. Develop a plan of programs and services which are designed to more effectively meet the needs of the resident population with Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias.

5. Participate as appropriate in discussions related to Goodwill Industries' proposal for elderly housing.

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

Mr. Kisow read Resolution No. 97-32.

WHEREAS, the federal government has appropriated funds on a national level under the HOME Investment Partnership Act, which is Title II of the Cranston - Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 12701), and

WHEREAS, Jefferson County does not qualify by itself for entitlement funding and Jefferson County seeks to qualify for direct entitlement funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development by forming a HOME Program Partnership Consortium, and

WHEREAS, the County of Jefferson, representing respective townships within Jefferson County, seeks to form a HOME Consortium with Waukesha County, and

WHEREAS, the qualification of this County HOME Consortium will provide to the Consortium local decision-making and annual entitlement funding under the provisions of the HOME Investment Partnership Act for a period of three years rather than each member having to submit competitive grant applications to the State, and

WHEREAS, Waukesha County will act as the representative member of the HOME Consortium,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Jefferson County Clerk is hereby authorized to enter into and execute a Cooperation Agreement with Waukesha County, Washington County and others, which will provide an annual entitlement to Jefferson County for rehabilitation, weatherization, downpayment/closing cost assistance, secondary mortgage financing, rent assistance and other authorized housing programs eligible under the ACT, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Waukesha County, as the representative member County, shall administer the HOME Investment Partnership Act Grant through the Waukesha County Community Development Block Grant staff on behalf of the Consortium members.

FISCAL NOTE: Funding for this program and Consortium members is based on a federal program formula. The amount of funding for the CONSORTIUM will be based on the number of participants (Counties and villages/cities within each County) who execute Cooperation Agreements and the seven formula factors based on a 1997 national distribution of $1.4 billion. Estimates from the State Division of Housing for the funds payable to the Consortium vary from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 annually.

Approximately ten percent (10%) of funds can be used for administration or direct program operation. It is estimated that 10% of administration will be used by CDBG staff for program administration with the balance for direct program operation.

Estimates for Jefferson County's proportionate share of funds range from $100,000 to $250,000.

Notification of actual CONSORTIUM funding is scheduled for November 1, 1997 with funds available June 1, 1998.

Mrs. Smith read the following report:

The Countryside Home expansion of the CODE ALERT resident security system to include interior doors leading to stairwells as recommended by the Countryside Home Board of Trustees, was approved by the County Board April 15, 1997, Resolution No. 97-2.

This project was included in the 1997 Countryside Budget for the purchase and installation of security devices on the interior doors of the facility in the amount of $36,360.00. Subsequent to initiating the purchase agreement for this project, it was determined that the cost of modifications to the facility's fire alarm system to tie in the security devices, as required by Life Safety Codes, was not included in the amount approved in the 1997 budget and, thus, not included in the scope of the project as reported to and approved by the County Board Resolution adopted April 15, 1997.

The cost proposal to provide the required high-voltage wiring, in conduit, from each of the 22 door security devices to the nearest of 3 intermediate fire alarm relay panels, fire alarm control panel electronics and all associated terminations and testing is $30,947.00. As this project involves a retrofit of new equipment into the existing fire alarm system, a project contingency figure is included in the amount of additional funds requested.

The Countryside Home Board of Trustees, at its meeting June 6, 1997, took action authorizing administration to report the additional funding requirements for this project to the County Board and that the Trustees request the County Board to approve a transfer of funds required to complete the project in its entirety.

The project costs are as follows:

CODE ALERT equipment purchase: $31,779

CODE ALERT device installation: 13,500

Fire alarm system modifications: 30,947

$76,226

1997 Budget project amount approved: 36,360

Required project funds net of budget amount: $39,866

Project contingency (approx, 7%): 5,334

TOTAL TRANSFER REQUESTED: $45,200

(To Countryside Acct #600-35-54210-822-000)

Mrs. Smith moved that the report be accepted. Seconded and carried.

Mrs. Smith read Resolution No. 97-34.

WHEREAS, due to circumstances unknown at the time the 1997 Budget was formulated, the following transfer of funds is requested to be made from INTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFER PROGRAM Account No. 600-35-11703:

Account No. Account Title Amount

600-35-54210-822-000 Capital Improvements-Buildings $45,200.00

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the above transfer is hereby authorized and directed to be made by the County Clerk.

Fiscal Note: As an amendment to the adopted 1997 County Budget, this resolution requires a 2/3 vote of the entire County Board pursuant to Sec. 65.90(5), Wis. Stats.
