Mr. Wendell Wilson

Jefferson County Board Chair

Jefferson County Courthouse

Jefferson, WI 53549

Dear Mr. Wilson and Members of the

Jefferson County Board of Supervisors,

I am writing on behalf of the Jefferson County Human Services Board to formally recognize the nineteen years of service that Marilla Fuge has given to this Board. Marilla's wise guidance, knowledge and insight have been forces which have built programs and services for the people of Jefferson County that will live on for many years to come.

We thank Marilla for her service and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

On behalf of the Jefferson County Human Services Board,

Al Foskett

Board Chair

Mr. Buchanan moved that the communication be adopted. Seconded and carried.

The County Clerk read a letter from State Representative David Ward acknowledging receipt of copies of Jefferson County Board Resolutions No. 98-77 and 98-79 regarding Jefferson County's concern for the distribution of Intergovernmental Transfer Program funds and legislation related to highway safety during winter snow removal.

The letter was ordered received and placed on file.

The Clerk read a memorandum from the Law Enforcement Committee advising the County Board that Shockley Communications and its affiliate WKOW-TV, having installed a Super Doppler Radar System in Madison, will provide, for one year and at no cost to Jefferson County, up-to-the-minute, early weather detection and warning of severe storms. This includes the necessary equipment, interface, installation and training of 911 Communications Personnel. During the following two years the cost will be $65 per month.

The memorandum was ordered received and placed on file.

The County Clerk reported receipt of a claim in the total amount of $1,200,000 from the attorney for Peter Biewer, Sullivan, Wisconsin, as compensation for injuries Mr. Biewer allegedly sustained on September 25, 1998 as a result of an accident at the intersection of Highways F and CI in Jefferson County.

The claim was referred to the Corporation Counsel.

The notice was ordered received and placed on file.

The following persons spoke in opposition to the Polsky/RockGen Power Facility in Dane County, Town of Christiana: John Roderick Clark, R. Virgil Ellis, Robert Salov, and Quentin Carpenter.

In January 1998, Countryside Home contracted with the consulting firm of E jj Olson and Associates of Milwaukee to do an analysis of existing and prospective programs and facilities which serve older adults, developmentally disabled people and other long term care populations. E jj worked closely with the architectural firm of Flad and Associates of Madison to develop a strategic plan which recommends the enhancement of existing programs by creating designated units for: Alzheimer's disease and other dementia; gero-psychiatry services; enhancing developmentally disabled programming; hospice services; short-term care and long term skilled care.

The final report was completed by the consultants in August and presented to the County Board in September. It included recommendations for new construction for 80 beds; deactivation of the outdated Building 2 (64 beds); renovation of the west and east buildings to create smaller, specialized resident units and construction of a new addition which would include an entrance area, administrative offices and a multi-purpose chapel. The total estimated cost of all the improvements suggested in the plan is $10,213,116.

The next phase of the study will examine the costs/benefits of various program options which were outlined in the strategic plan report and include skilled nursing, assisted residential living, acute psychiatric hospital services and group home beds. The costs/benefits of the planned partnership with Goodwill Industries to own and operate a 20 unit apartment building for low-income elderly with special needs will also be analyzed. The firm of Wipfli Ullrich Bertelson, in partnership with E jj Olson, has been hired to complete this portion of the study. It is expected to be completed in 90 days.

The 1999 budget for Countryside Home includes $824,600 for the purpose of beginning the implementation of this strategic plan. The architectural and engineering design process will begin when this current phase of the study is completed.

Respectfully submitted,

Frances McGinley Anderson and

the Countryside Board of Trustees

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

(a) One which is so abandoned, damaged, decayed, dilapidated, unsanitary, unsafe, or vermin infested that it creates a serious hazard to the health or safety of the occupants or of the public.

(2) No person shall continue to occupy, rent, or lease quarters for human habitation which are declared unfit for human habitation by the Health Officer.

Such notice shall be in writing and include a description of the real estate involved, a statement of violations and corrective actions required, and shall allow a reasonable time for the performance of any act required. Such notice shall be served upon the owner, property or occupant as the case may require, and may be served by ordinary mail or in the manner provided by Chapter 801, Wisconsin Statutes.

16.08 INVESTIGATION OF POSSIBLE PUBLIC NUISANCES. The Health Officer or a designated representative shall investigate all potential public nuisances and shall determine whether or not a public nuisance exists.

(1) If the existence of a public nuisance is confirmed a written cleanup and/or abatement order will be issued specifying the action needed to abate and/or correct the nuisance; the time period allowed to abate and/or correct the nuisance, (24 hours, 5, 10, 30, or more days depending on the nature of the nuisance); and the possible penalty (citation and/or possible court action) if the nuisance is not abated and/or corrected.

(2) To expedite the abatement and/or correction of the public nuisance the Health Officer may issue citations pursuant to the County Citation Ordinance and Section 66.119, Stats. The issuance of a citation does not exempt a violator from further legal action against the violator as described in subsection (3) below.

(3) In cases where the use of a citation alone is inadequate or inappropriate to fully cause the abatement and/or correction of a public nuisance, legal action seeking a higher forfeiture and penalties or injunctive action to cause abatement of a nuisance, and also to rectify any damage created by the nuisance can be initiated against the violator at the discretion of the Health Officer and the Jefferson County District Attorney or the Corporation Counsel.

(4) In the case of an immediate health hazard or in extreme cases where the person responsible for a nuisance refuses to abate and/or correct it within the time period specified in the written order, the County may abate the nuisance and/or correct the violation with the cost of such abatement and/or correction to be recovered directly from the responsible person or as otherwise authorized by law.

16.10 PENALTIES. All violations of this ordinance shall be subject to a forfeiture of not less than Fifty Dollars ($50.00) nor more than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per offense, together with applicable surcharges and penalty assessment and the taxable costs of prosecution. The Court may also grant injunctive relief. Failure to comply with an order of abatement issued under this ordinance shall constitute a violation of this ordinance, and each day of continued violation shall constitute a separate offense. Failure to pay any penalties imposed by the court in accordance with this ordinance may result in imprisonment in the County Jail until payment is made but not to exceed 90 days.

16.11 SEVERABILITY. Each section, paragraph, sentence, clause, word, and provision of this ordinance is severable and if any portion shall be deemed unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the remainder of this ordinance nor any part thereof other than the portion affected by such decision.

SECTION 2. Section 2(d) of Ordinance No. 84-10 is created as follows:

(2) In addition, the following county officials may issue citations for the violation of ordinances directly related to their official responsibilities:

(a) County Zoning Administrator

(b) Parks Director
