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

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD:

During the year 1997 private land surveying continued at a brisk pace with 187 Plats of Survey, 170 Certified Surveys, and 21 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, Highway Department, Human Services, County Home, and Town of Koshkonong.

On the State level the current trespass law, 1995 Wisconsin Act 451, has raised the question of access to private land to perform surveying duties if the owner objects. In Jefferson County this has had an impact on at least one survey where the surveyor could not check measurements to an adjoining survey because of the owners' objection to trespass and the Sheriff's Department upholding the owners' objection. 1997 Assembly Bill 200 would clarify a public officer and employee right of trespass; however, this Bill failed to pass in the current session of the Senate. The Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors is also working on Legislation to allow private surveyors the right of trespass when performing a legal land survey.

Respectfully submitted,

Thomas Wollin

County Surveyor

LAND INFORMATION PROGRAM

The goals and objectives of the Jefferson County Land Records Modernization Plan were advanced during 1997. The Register of Deeds Document Imaging System that provides efficient, secure storage and retrieval of documents became operational. The system was designed to be expandable for accommodation of additional documents including: property surveys, zoning permits, land use permits, sanitary system permits and others. A Wisconsin Land Information Program grant of $71,250 along with retained program revenues will provide funding to implement document imaging of the additional documents.

The Public Access Interface project consultant (Geoanalytics, Inc.) for the Multi-County Consortium of Dane, Jefferson, Sheboygan, Portage, Oneida, Shawano and Dupage County Illinois is nearing completion of an interface to access Geographic Information System data. The interface will provide easy to use access to numerous Geographic Information System layers with minimal or no training. County staff will be the first users of the interface that will eventually be available on public access terminals. Jefferson County will be one of the first Wisconsin counties to install the interface in 1998.

1997 LAND INFORMATION OFFICE PROJECTS

The Land Information Office developed Geographic Information System maintenance procedures during 1997. When County departments and the public begin to access geographic data more extensively through computer terminals, the necessity for well maintained and timely data sets such as parcel ownership, zoning, etc. will become more critical.

The Land Information Office completed automation of rural address maps for the County. The new address maps replace large hand scribed maps that were provided by Lange Enterprise in 1985 when the County Rural Address System was first installed. The address maps are used for a variety of purposes that include: law enforcement, fire protection, emergency medical response, voter registration and maintenance of the rural address signs.

The Department also developed Supervisory District Maps for each of the County's 30 districts. The district maps were distributed to County Supervisor Candidates during the nomination paper process. A standard set of ward maps were also prepared to assist the County Clerk's Office, local clerks and poll workers during the election process.

Gail Chamberlain, Director of the Jefferson County Health Department, presented the 1997 annual report for that department.

Brad Holman continues as the Children with Special Health Care Needs Grant coordinator for Jefferson, Rock and Green counties. This program offers families case management and support services, a parent packet that contains local and state resources, advocacy activities and collaboration with other organizations, agencies and schools that provide services to this special population. Brad works closely with the Early Intervention Program (Birth - 3) and helps families transition their child into Early Childhood Programs.

The Health Department continues to collaborate with the City of Watertown Department of Public Health to offer environmental health services. Funded through a variety of sources, such as federal grants and local dollars, the environmental health specialist inspects homes and other buildings for the presence of lead, asbestos, and other health hazards. Other areas of concern include animal and vermin control, well water and air quality and occupational health hazards. A total of over 200 contacts were made in 1997.

In 1997 we said a sad farewell to Dr. Lisa Lembke who moved away and were pleased to hire Tim Anderson to provide environmental health services.

Members of the Health Department and their families again participated in the Jefferson County American Cancer Society "Relay For Life" raising $1,729. The City of Jefferson earned over $116,000, the highest amount raised in the State of Wisconsin.

1997 concluded the 4th year of the WWCCP in Jefferson County. This program provides outreach, education and funding for mammograms, breast, pap and pelvic exams to women age 50 and over who meet the program income guidelines. Women are referred to participating primary health care providers and hospitals for testing. An average of 70 women were served in 1997 with 25 new enrollees. There were three women with abnormal mammograms that required follow-up.

The Health Department teamed up with the Jefferson and Fort Atkinson Senior Centers and Fort Atkinson Memorial Health Services to offer Senior Health Fairs in Jefferson and Fort Atkinson. Participants were able to view the many educational, health care and service provider exhibits and take part in many free health screenings including: blood pressure, cancer, depression, glaucoma, hearing, skin cancer, oral health, and others. Flu and pneumonia shots were offered by the Health Department at the fall fair.

In June 1997, Gail Chamberlain took over the office of President of the Wisconsin Public Health Association. WPHA is dedicated to promoting sound public health policy and providing health education for its members and the people of Wisconsin. Founded in 1948, it is the largest organization of public health professionals in the state.

The public health nurses gave over 11,300 immunizations to 8,921 clients and investigated 147 cases of communicable diseases reported. 98.8% of Jefferson County children under age two have completed the Hepatitis B vaccine series. The public health nurses attended several satellite conferences sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control which provided the latest information on immunizations and communicable diseases.

A total of 690 children received screening, assessment and referral services through Well Child and HealthCheck clinics. Clinics were especially busy in the spring and summer as the Health Department offers free physicals to all children entering preschool, Head Start or kindergarten. Parents appreciate that children can receive a physical assessment, height, weight, hearing, vision and lead screenings, education on growth and development and nutrition, and immunizations all in one visit.

4,085 visits were made to 2,194 clients to provide education and support in the areas of prenatal, postpartum, infant and child care and the management of chronic disease. Fluoride supplements were provided to 228 children. A total of 312 blood pressures were assessed and 446 visits were made for adult health services.

Over 950 individuals came to the office clinic for services such as blood pressure screening, TB skin testing and seeking answers to health questions.

A total of 1,108 children were screened for the presence of lead in their blood. Forty-one children were referred for case management including environmental health assessment.

The average caseload for 1997 was 1,130 clients per month. A total of $544,467 was brought into County grocery stores through WIC vouches. For every dollar spent on the prenatal component of WIC there is a savings of $3.50 in subsequent health care costs.

Postpartum moms are able to rent breast pumps to aid them in continuing to breast feed their babies. A total of 66 women took advantage of this service.

The public health nurses assessed over 1,300 inmates at the Jefferson County Jail. The public health nurses continue to attend seminars on correctional health topics. Of special interest every year is the annual Jail Health Care Conference sponsored by the Wisconsin Public Health Association, National Institute of Corrections, Western Region - Jail Health Nurses Group, State of Wisconsin Dept. of Corrections, Bureau of Public Health, Dept. of Justice, UW-Eau Claire School of Nursing and the Wisconsin Jail Association where staff is provided the opportunity to network with other health professionals working in county jails. A quality assurance audit was completed on inmate health records.

There were 81 educational sessions held for 1,882 attendees and 66 media contacts made for education through mass media.

The public health technician screened 2,267 children in the schools for vision and hearing problems with 123 referred to a medical provider for further screening and treatment.

Admissions - 182 Discharges - 140

Visits - 24,501 Hours of Service - 58,437

The Health Department continues to partner with St. Coletta to serve developmentally disabled Medicaid recipients who reside in their own homes, apartments or in a community-based residential facility less than 20 beds. The neighborhood nurses employed by St. Coletta supervise the personal care component of each recipient's plan of care. The Health Department Personal Care Program provides Medicaid billing for 43 eligible recipients.

A new partnership has been formed with the Human Services Department. Personal care services are provided under contract with Human Services in Adult Family Homes and Community Based Residential Facilities less than 20 beds. A Health Department Personal Care Program Registered Nurse assesses each client in cooperation with Human Services Case Managers for billable personal care services. The employees of the CBRF or Adult Family Home continue to provide direct personal care services and submit time sheets to the Health Department for billing. Remittance money is forwarded to Human Services to offset the cost of care in alternate care settings. Approximately 50-90 clients will benefit from this new partnership.

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 two 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. As some readers are aware, Jefferson County is currently planning to construct a Workforce Development Center. The Center will house a wide variety of partners including:

the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation

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. We are projecting that we will move into the new Workforce Development Center, which will be located in the City of Jefferson, in February or March of 1999.

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 60 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 1996 to 1997. 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 1998.

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 1997, 2052 persons were enrolled as active clients. Of these 1030 received some sort of service in an average month. A total of 3227 different persons received some services during the year. This is a decrease of 492 persons from 1996.

The monthly average number of persons who received services during 1997 is 1030. This is a small decrease when comparing 1996 - 1083. Most of this decrease is accounted for by the child custody/visitation program which was transferred, including staff members, to the Family Court Office in the Courthouse. Other notable changes when comparing 1996 and 1997 include slight increase in serving persons with mental illness +14, delinquent youth +20, and Early Intervention Program +7. A decrease of 17 persons served in an average month occurred in the area of parent/child conflicts. Overall the remaining categories of persons served has continued with numbers relatively similar to 1996.

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.

Operating resources had a positive budget variance of $157,607 (1.2%) while expenditures had a positive budget variance of $24,977 (0.2%). The resulting net surplus of $182,584 will be carried forward to the 1999 budget year.

HIGHWAY COMMITTEE REPORT

REGARDING PURCHASE OF A TRACTOR DOZER

UNDER A DEALER BUY-BACK PROGRAM

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.

In 1995 the Highway Department purchased a Caterpillar D5C LGP dozer from Fabco Equipment of Madison. We presently have the opportunity to trade the three year old unit in to Fabco for a new 1998 machine, of the same make and model, under a dealer buy-back program. The result of this single vendor transaction would benefit the Highway Department by providing us with a new machine, with full warranty, at a cost that other vendors could not match. Additionally, we can forgo the costs associated with routine maintenance and repair to the present machine, as certain parts are needed to be repaired or replaced due to normal wear.

By the end of the 1998 construction season, we would have to do routine repair to the undercarriage of the present machine. This would involve turning of the pins and bushings, installation of new sprockets, and possibly rollers. In the next three year period we would need to repeat that process again, and also replace the tracks on the dozer. This type of repair and replacement of parts is routine and normal for any machine of this type and is necessary to avoid damage to other parts of the machine, and extend the overall life of the unit. Trading the 1995 machine in under this buy-back program would give us a brand new machine, with a new full warranty period, and allow us to avoid the costs of routine repair to the present machine. The new unit would be essentially maintenance free for the next three years.

The cost of a straight buy-back for an identical unit under this proposal would be $22,412 without upgrades. We have decided to add an air conditioned cab and upgrade the transmission to a hydrostatic type for safety and performance reasons. The dealer has discounted the cost of these upgrades to us. The cost of the upgrades is $9,121, and brings the total cost of the new unit to $31,533.

In the past three (3) years, the present machine has generated approximately $42,152 in equipment revenue, which is almost $20,000 over and above the cost of a straight buy-back. Trading the present unit in for a new one will allow us to minimize operational and repair costs and allow the additional revenues to be used towards the purchase of other equipment for Highway Department use.

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 purchase of the dozer under the buy-back program, waiving the normal requirement to receive other bids, since no other vendor could offer us the same agreement on an identical machine.
