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

Honorable Chairperson, Vice-Chair, and County Board of Supervisors:

I am again pleased to present the annual financial report for operations of the Jefferson County Highway Department. As I am sure you as county supervisors have witnessed, the Highway Department had another exceptional year in 1998.

Our crews performed maintenance and construction activities on the entire County and State Trunk Highway System in Jefferson County and provided numerous services for other municipalities and units of government. That amounted to $1,966,300.28 of work for local units of government, that being townships, villages and cities. This figure compares to $1,893,430.56 in 1997, and $1,287,627.98 in 1996.

Our working relationship with the County Fair Park Committee expanded again, with our crews performing extensive collaborative work with the consultant and general contractor on the Fair Park reconstruction project. We appreciate the opportunity afforded our department by the Fair Park Committee by allowing us to be involved on the ground level of the planning effort. This permitted us to identify areas of the project that Highway Department forces could be utilized in lieu of contracted services. This proved to be cost effective and helped keep critical timing aspects of the project on track. The dollar value of the work performed by our department at the Fair Park, in conjunction with the improvements, totaled about $325,000 in 1998.

In a similar manner, we began working with the Jefferson County Human Services Department and their consultants on the Workforce Development Center project. We did extensive site preparation last year and will continue to work with the general contractor, consultants, and Human Services staff this year as the project approaches its final stages. Work on that project by our crews totaled just over $42,000 in 1998.

Working with the Emergency Management and Parks Department over the last several years, our crews performed demolition related functions under the DNR funded Blackhawk Island Floodplain Mitigation Project. Work in 1998 involved 15 parcels, totaling over $55,000.

After the first two weeks or so of January, winter maintenance operations had a relatively mild season. Our department started participating in a WisDOT test program during this past winter, utilizing new equipment and materials. On the equipment side of this program, zero velocity spreaders were installed on our two Interstate trucks. Although still in the fine tuning and adjustment phase, this equipment appears to offer positive results in our county. Liquid magnesium chloride solution was used for the first time in Jefferson County as an anti-icing agent and a pre-wetting agent. The results of the anti-icing applications are very encouraging, while the use of MgCI₂ as a pre-wetting material still needs additional testing and research.

Six new employees were hired in 1998 as a result of retirements within the Highway Department. We are very pleased with the results that our expanded testing program has produced over the past few years. That testing includes skill testing on various types of equipment, a written examination about Commercial Drivers License (CDL) requirements, and an oral interview. Members of our staff perform the testing, with assistance from individuals from other county highway departments with expertise in the same areas. For your information, we only accept applications for employment during advertised periods, generally no more than once a year. Out of the normal 150 to 200 applications received, we test about 15 candidates. The testing results are then used to fill any appropriate openings that occur during the following calendar year or so.

We continue to improve our employee training programs each year. Our Safety Training Committee consists of management and union representatives who meet on a regular basis. We bring outside training professionals in to put on workshops for small groups on specialized training such as work zone traffic control and chainsaw safety. We hold an annual Safety Training Meeting for all employees in the spring, and send some employees to workshops sponsored by the UW-Extension Transportation Information Center. A new training method we are employing this year is called a Snow Plow Driver Roadeo. This event challenges the driver's truck driving and plowing abilities, along with pre-trip inspection techniques and a written test of CDL knowledge. The top finishers at our in-house event will compete in a statewide competition at the WCHA Summer Highway Conference in Manitowoc this June.

Site improvements continued at our Jefferson Shop in 1998, with additional work planned for completion this year. These improvements are necessary to meet our immediate needs. A Space Needs Study that was approved for this year will help us to determine our future needs and direction.

I appreciate the continued cooperation I have received from the Highway Committee and the entire County Board during the past year. If there are ever any questions regarding highway operations, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

Respectfully submitted,

Jeffrey L. Haas

Highway Commissioner

TO THE HONORABLE JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

The ICC Data Processing Commission was formed in the fall of 1980 under Section 66.30 of the Wisconsin Statutes as a governmental cooperative to provide data processing/computing services to the Commission members, currently Jefferson and Dodge Counties. The Commission is a Wisconsin public agency and all ICC employees are public employees, just like the County employees. In concept, ICC is the data processing department for the two Counties. Originally, the support provided by the ICC Commission personnel concerned mainframe computing applications, but in 1985 the scope of services was expanded to include personal computers, networks, and specialized equipment and software as well. The concept of ICC is to provide efficient use of limited data processing funds by providing standardized equipment and software, sharing costs, equipment resources, and personnel expertise.

The ICC Data Processing Commission is governed by a Board of Commissioners which includes representatives from both Counties, and meets on a monthly basis. All meetings are subject to the provisions of the Wisconsin Open Meeting Law, and County Supervisors, of course, are welcome to attend. Meeting dates and locations are posted along with notices of other County meetings. The ICC Board of Commissioners consists of three voting members from each County and functions similar to other County supervising committees. The Board of Commissioners hires a Director to administer the agency and supervise the day-to-day activities of the Commission. I was appointed to the Director's position in 1989, having been employed in similar positions in other Wisconsin public agency data processing departments for many years. The Commission's main office is located in Jefferson County facilities in a building adjacent to the Countryside Home. The County's midrange IBM AS/400 computer is located there and individual personal computers may or may not be connected by high-speed leased telephone lines to the midrange computer for operation as a remote data terminal, depending on the needs of the individual County worker or department.

During the years of its existence the ICC Data Processing Commission has implemented several major computer applications that serve the Office of Administration, County Clerk, Register of Deeds, Land Information Department, Human Services, and Treasurer. 1998 saw a major change in the way that traditional computing services were delivered for those applications: We finished a multi-year project to convert our major applications from a mainframe environment to a decentralized midrange concept, with an IBM midrange computer installed in each County. Current system development projects include a new system for the Human Services Departments in both Counties, which is in the final stage of implementation, and a Zoning Department application for Jefferson County.

The fastest growth area of the Commission, however, continues to be personal computers, and especially networks. This area is also becoming more complex as more users and County Departments advance to the level of sophistication where networking with other personal computers is required. In today's environment, it is much more common for a new computer to be installed in a network situation than to be a "stand-alone" computer. The following demonstrates the growth of personal computers in Jefferson County: during 1995 I reported to you that there were 170 personal computers and file servers installed in Jefferson County offices. By May of 1996 that number was 190, we were supporting 237 in 1997, and 274 in 1998. At this time in 1999 there are about 290 personal computers and file servers installed in Jefferson County Departments. Thus, in four years the number of PCs has increased by 71%. Major computer installation projects for 1999 include replacing about 19 State provided PCs in the Child Support Department with ICC equipment, and 23 new PCs with the associated network servers and other equipment in the new Workforce Development Building. These computers are used for a variety of applications in the various departments in which they are installed. We employ four microcomputer support personnel (two are permanently assigned to Jefferson County) who are available to work one-on-one with user personnel in learning the features of the supported software packages, provide support for defining applications, and generally "trouble-shoot" problem areas that develop. We also periodically conduct classroom sessions for small group instruction in a Computer Training Room in the lower level of the Courthouse. We have six permanently assigned PCs installed there, and one of our staff members uses that area as her primary work location.

In addition to the staff support for personal computer software applications, we also provide support for the hardware components. We pre-configure and test the hardware and install it in the user departments. If required, we install network hardware and software, and connect the workstations to the networks. When the equipment malfunctions, we fix it, or replace it. We employ two Computer Hardware Technicians which are shared resources between the two Counties to provide the hardware support. All of our efforts in this area are geared to providing a working machine which enables County employees to perform their duties as efficiently as possible.

The most significant new project in the personal computer and networking area that is currently in process is the project to connect the various County buildings via fiber optic cable. We have implemented an internal electronic mail (e-mail) capability to facilitate the communication, and many employees have been trained via an e-mail class that we offer.

Upcoming major challenges for ICC staff include insuring that our equipment and software are ready for the "YEAR-2000". We included some funds in the 1999 budget for upgrading and/or replacing hardware and software that is not YEAR-2000 ready.

The ICC Data Processing Commission financial situation continues to be very healthy, and our agency is audited each year by an independent outside auditing firm. The most recent audit report is available for review in the County Clerk's Office for those of you who are interested. We do not currently have any outstanding bank loans or other long-term financial obligations.

I would like to invite each of you to visit our offices at 1425 Wisconsin Drive in Jefferson. If you ever have any questions about our operations, please feel free to contact me at 674-2303.

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 March 18, 1999 and April 15, 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 PETITION 2072A-99

DENIAL OF PETITIONS 1814A-96-99M, 2070A-99 AND 2073A-99

Petition 1814A-96-99M was filed by Bruce LeMoine to rezone 2.1 acres from A-3, Rural Residential to Business. This is recommended for denial because the site is adjacent to the Ixonia Industrial Park which has enough vacancies and is already zoned to accommodate this use.

Leland Christian presented Petition 2070A-99 to create a 2.3 acre rural residential building site on CTH F in the Town of Concord. This is recommended for denial due to the prevalence of prime agricultural soils on the site.

Petition 2073A-99 was filed by Todd Wileman to create three new rural residential building sites on Conservation Road. This is recommended for denial due to the Town of Lake Mills objection to the proposal.
