October 14, 1997

TO THE HONORABLE JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD:

Pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes, Section 59.18(5) and County Board Resolution No. 12, April 21, 1970, the recommended 1998 Administrator's Budget is submitted for your review, consideration and action. The accompanying proposed budget has been reviewed and approved by the County Board Budget Committee.

The preparation of this Budget document represents the combined work of the County Board Budget Committee, County Clerk, County Administrator, and their staffs.

This recommended Budget is conservative, and while it does not provide funds for all programs requested, and the revenues expected from State and Federal sources are unclear at the time of printing, I feel it represents the best interests of Jefferson County. However, it is also a responsible and realistic budget which should not need further supplementation during the year.

I will be happy to discuss with you any of my recommendations and would encourage your hard review of this Budget before final passage in November.

Respectfully submitted,

Willard D. Hausen

County Administrator

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S RECOMMENDATION IN SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

Pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes 59.18(5) and County Board Resolution No. 12, approved April 21, 1970, the recommended tentative Jefferson County 1998 Annual Budget is submitted to the County Board of Supervisors for their review, consideration, and action.

The tentative 1998 tax rate is recommended at 3.7924 per $1,000 valuation. This compares to 3.9930 in 1997 or a decrease of .2006.

It should be noted that there was an increase of $289,474,800 in equalized value of County property on which the tax rate is based. The County's overall total equalized value was reduced this year by $50,209,055 under the Tax Incremental Financing Program resulting in an impact of $190,413 on the County Budget.

The total net budget and a five-year comparison is listed below:

EXCEPTIONS

There are exceptions, limitations and judgments that the County Board should be aware of concerning the tentative proposed budget. Certain assumptions and judgments must be made at the time of preparation and are based upon the best information available. Such areas are as follows:

1998 BUDGET PROCESS

The budget process began on August 4, 1997 with a meeting of all department heads. They generally had two weeks to prepare and submit their requests for the County Administrator's review and recommendations. Larger departments were granted an extension to allow County Board Committee or Board participation. Conferences were held with department heads on an individual basis and Committee and Board meetings were attended to better understand requests and recommendations.

The Budget Committee has now met on the following dates to formulate the tentative 1998 Budget:

September 9, 10, 11, and 12, 1997 - Budget Committee meetings with individual departments. September 19, 1997 to make final adjustments to the 1998 County Budget.

At this point the recommendations of the Budget Committee became the tentative 1998 County Budget. The proposed 1998 County Budget will be presented to the County Board on October 14, 1997 and will lie over until the November session. A public hearing is scheduled for November 13, 1997 at 7:30 p.m. so that the citizens of Jefferson County may express their interest, opinions and help as the County Board continues to develop the 1998 Budget.

JEFFERSON COUNTY PLAN 2020

In 1996, Jefferson County addressed the management of growth within Jefferson County. A total of $270,000 has been budgeted the past two years. A total of $270,000 has been budgeted the past two years. As this project nears completion, the Plan 2020 Committee would like to get a draft of the plan to the County Board yet this year with adoption early in 1998. The Zoning Department's 1998 Budget contains $40,000 for rewriting ordinances that will relate to Plan 2020.

HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT - W-2

A major initiative for the Human Services Department during 1998 will be the first full year of operating the Wisconsin Works (W-2) program. As readers are already aware, this program replaces the Welfare program, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, AFDC. Under W-2, program recipients will be required to seek and hold employment of some type. Supportive services, some training opportunities and child care will be available.

Due to the operation of W-2, the Human Services Budget will increase substantially. Approximately 1.2 million dollars of Federal and State funding is provided to operate this program and provide services and client benefits including payments for trial and community service jobs. Funding is also provided to operate a Workforce Development Center. Establishing a functional center which co-locates existing employment and training programs while providing a central source of available employees and employer services will be an additional major challenge for 1998.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT CENTER

The Human Services Board presented a report on this subject that was accepted by the County Board on September 9, 1997. The County Administrator has asked the Human Services Department to arrange a meeting of the Building and Insurance Committee and the following organizations to explore the Workforce Development Center concept. These partners include: JOB Service, Madison Area Technical College-Fort Atkinson campus, Jefferson County Economic Development and Authority, Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, Private Industry Council and Opportunities, Incorporated.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Budget Committee has included funding in the amount of $71,000 for the continued support of the Economic Development Corporation in Jefferson County.

The Budget Committee has also included $53,500 in the Central Services Budget for repair and upgrade of Elevator No. 1 Courthouse north.

The Budget Committee supports the request of the Countryside Board of Trustees for $460,810 for Capital and Equipment projects in 1998.

The Budget Committee has recommended the transfer of $1,000,000 from the General Fund for capital improvement projects at the Jefferson County Fair Park.

I am asking the County Board Chairperson to appoint a special committee to study space needs at the Courthouse. The Budget Committee has placed $20,000 in the Central Services Budget to engage a consultant to assist the committee in the planning and development process.

I am requesting that the Human Services Board meet with the County Board of Health for the purpose of combining the two departments. Merger of the two departments will allow for possible financial gain in two areas, the potential for increases in state and federal funding revenue and the potential for reduction of administrative costs. The potential for increased state and federal funding exists under the principle that as the cost pool increases, so does the flexibility for cost allocation and cost allocation flexibility enables for the maximization of funding. Administrative costs will be reduced since many administrative functions, i.e. voucher processing, payment authorization, payroll, financial statements and reporting, are duplicated between the departments operating separately. The duplicated administrative functions can be coordinated so that duplication may be eliminated, resulting in a potential cost saving to the County.

Potential program opportunities run parallel to the potential financial gains. Under a merged system it becomes possible to create, reassign and combine programs and staff duties that were not possible before a merger. The proposed programs dealing with Long-Term Care funding and program redesign for the elderly and physically disabled are examples of this. Programs such as these require the forming of new work and supervisory groups without regard to funding sources. Opportunities will also be available in the areas of Community Support programming for the mentally ill and Child and Family program areas.

The County's history in building human service integrated programs has been that the rebuilt system has consistently been stronger, more efficient, more economical, and more responsible than the former multiple system. It has also been the experience that job satisfaction has improved overall due to being able to offer creative employees more choices. Public relations have also improved because of the increased responsiveness and clearer definition of responsibility.

CONTINGENCY FUND

A $325,000 appropriation is requested in 1998. This is the same amount that was approved in the 1997 Budget.

APPRECIATION

The preparation of this Budget document could not have been done without the excellent cooperation of County Clerk Barbara Frank and her staff, Joy Clark of Central Duplicating, Rhonda Sukys of the Land Information Office, and the staff in the County Administrator's Office.

DEDICATION

This Budget is dedicated to the memory of Barbara Geyer who died on January 11, 1997. Barbara served Jefferson County as County Clerk for twenty years. Over the years she worked with County Board Supervisors, two County Administrators, Department Heads and countless County employees in the preparation of the annual Budget. I have fond memories of the good times and the bad times. Barbara, you are missed by your family, friends and Courthouse employees.

I would encourage County Board members and the public to review this document between now and final passage. The County Administrator and County Clerk will be available to answer questions concerning this Budget.

NEW ACTIVITIES INCLUDED IN THE 1998 BUDGET:

• Courthouse elevator 1 replacement

Mr. Buchanan moved that the proposed 1998 Budget be laid on the table. Seconded and carried.

Mr. Pieterick, Chairman of the Fair Committee, presented the Fair Park Site Master Plan and gave the following report:

After a great deal of work on the part of numerous people, the Fair Committee is pleased to submit the Fair Park Site Master Plan to the County Board for its approval. This plan offers the best possible road map to future development at the site while addressing the many problems which presently exist. Adherence to this plan should greatly serve the Fair Park's development needs well into the next century.

In attempting to advance the Master Plan, every effort has been made by the Fair Committee to arrive at a minimal and reasonable "Stage One" budget. It is recognized by the Committee that the $3.7 million dollars requested represents an extraordinary investment in this facility by the County. Review of the materials contained in this report, however, will affirm the need for this degree of investment as a necessary first step in catching up on innumerable repairs and maintenance that have perhaps been ignored in the past. In addition, this level of support is required due to the interrelation of various elements, and the results will otherwise inform the fairgoers and our constituencies that we are moving forward; that the citizens of Jefferson County wish to preserve for future generations a Fair Park site worthy of the heritage and character of its people.

We have known 150 years of hosting "The Fair That Always Pleases!" It is the Fair Committee's hope that you will join us in ensuring that the tradition lives on for the generations to come.

It is the recommendation of the Fair Committee that the County Board adopt the Fair Park Site Master Plan as a reasoned approach to immediate and future development of the Fair Park site.

It is the recommendation of the Fair Committee that the County Board approve a transfer of $1 million dollars from the General Fund to partially fund the "Stage One" Budget proposed in this report.

It is recommended by the Fair committee that the County Board approve the issuance of bonds (or other appropriate loan vehicle) in the amount of $2.77 million dollars for the purpose of funding the remainder of the "Stage One" Budget in 1998.

The Fair Committee is aware of the import and of the complexities involved in arriving at a decision to commit to the plan and to authorize initial construction. For this reason, it is our intent to submit this report to the County Board at its regular meeting in October and subsequently seek action on this proposal at the November meeting. In the interim, public hearings will be scheduled and the Fair Committee remains otherwise available to address any questions you may have.

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 September 18, 1997 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 1927A-97, 1930A-97, 1895A-97M,

1733A-97 AND 680A-83-97M

DENIAL OF PETITIONS 1925A-97, 1932A-97, 1928A-97,

1929A-97 AND 1931A-97

Petition 1925A-97 was filed by Lee and Sandra Cox to rezone five acres on Switzke Road in the Town of Watertown from Agricultural A-1 to Residential R-2. This petition is recommended for denial because the Committee determined that the R-2 zone was not necessary for the petitioners' intentions, and that other zones may be more applicable.

Petition 1932A-97 was filed by Jerry and Connie Ortelle Jansen to create a business zone on CTH D in the Town of Jefferson. This is recommended for denial due to the conflict of uses and the precedent that would be set by locating a business zone outside an urban service area and not near public services.

Jon Gehler requested rezoning to A-3 with Petition 1928A-97 to recreate a residential building site on STH 26 in the Town of Watertown. This is recommended for denial due to the prevalence of prime agricultural soils on the site.

With Petition 1929A-97, Gerald Pankow requested rezoning of 3.1 acres on STH 89 in the Town of Waterloo. This is also recommended for denial due to the prevalence of prime agricultural soils on the acreage.

Dean Bothum filed Petition 1931A-97 to create a vacant 1.62 acre lot and a 4.38 acre lot with existing buildings along Marsh Road in the Town of Oakland. This is recommended for denial due to the prevalence of prime agricultural soils on the site and because the Town was opposed to the request.

Dated this Seventh Day of October, 1997

August J. Lehmann, Secretary

Mr. Lehmann moved that the report be accepted by voice vote under suspension of the rules. Seconded and carried.

Mr. Lehmann read Ordinance No. 97-21.

This action is conditioned upon receipt by Zoning of a soil test for the vacant lot showing sites for installation of both initial and replacement private sewage systems, and upon approval and recording of a final certified survey map. (1733A-97 - Joseph and Bunny Turcotte)
