The annual report of the Land Information Office for 1999 was presented by Andrew J. Erdman, Department Head.

TO THE HONORABLE BOAD OF SUPERVISORS, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WISCONSIN

The Land Information Office, in addition to the daily work that is normally handled by the Department undertook the following initiatives:

A new laser form process for printing tax bills was implemented in 1999. Tax bills for municipalities using the automated collection system were printed on the laser system. The new tax bill format provides tear out stubs that taxpayers include with first half, second half and full tax payments. This allows the taxpayer to keep the original copy of the tax bill for their records. The laser form process eliminated most of the decollating and bursting that was necessary during the production of the old multi-part tax bills. The new forms did require the purchase of a paper folder that is also being used in the courthouse copy room to fold leaflets, brochures and high volume mailings.

Computer Output to Laser Disk (COLD) applications were developed for archiving assessment roll, tax roll and tax bill records. The COLD system allows computer output for tax bills and rolls from the AS 400 Mainframe to be transferred to optical disks in the document imaging system. The back scanning of various records in the Land Information, Survey and Zoning Department continued in 1999. A total of 5992 surveys, 1832 Government Corner Tie Sheets and 2489 Rural Address Assignments were scanned by Land Information Staff.

Access to the Geographic Information System was expanded during 1999 to additional county staff in the Zoning, Land and Water Conservation, and Highway Departments. A GIS Interface has been utilized to provide Geographic Information such as: Ownership, Zoning, Land Use, Wetlands, Floodplains, Soils, Roads and Aerial Photography.

A $10,540 grant award was obtained through the Wisconsin Land Information Program to help pay for ortho photography scheduled for early in 2000. The total cost of the digital ortho photography is $54,500. The 1996 ortho photography that was prepared for the land use inventory has been widely used throughout Jefferson County government. The ability to print or view photo imagery and map overlays simultaneously on the computer screen has given county staff and property owners a clearer perspective of land features or limitations. The 2000 ortho photography will be flown at a lower altitude than in 1996 to yield higher resolution imagery. The digital ortho photography files are scheduled for delivery in late summer or early fall of 2000.

To: The Honorable Board of Supervisors

Jefferson County, Wisconsin

The Board of Supervisors formed the Jefferson County Complete Count Committee on September 21, 1999 with the following mission:

• Develop a census awareness campaign to inform, motivate and educate the County's residents in the necessity and importance of their rapid response to and 100% participation in the Census 2000.

• Make the citizens aware of the many ways the Census data is used to obtain funding for essential services and programs.

• Bridge gaps between Jefferson County, Census Bureau and other local Complete Count Committees regarding outreach activities and information centers.

County Board Chairperson Wendell A. Wilson appointed the following members:

Marilyn Haroldson, Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation, Chair

Dr. Donald Childs, Lake Mills Public Schools

Helen Grimmenga, Community Action Coalition

Marie Hathaway, Fort Atkinson Senior Center

Margaret Krueger, Watertown Daily Times

Jean Schliewe, Seniors Representative

Ryan Whisner, Daily Jefferson County Union

The Complete Count Committee held six meetings over a six-month period to plan and implement a Census Awareness Campaign for Jefferson County. Committee members donated over one hundred hours to the Campaign. Representatives for the United States Department of Commerce Bureau of the Census, and the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration Demographic Services met with the Committee to coordinate the local awareness campaign with State and Federal efforts. Committee members distributed census work recruitment and census education materials to public facilities at the request of Census Bureau Representatives.

A Census Awareness Campaign Grant award of $773 was secured from the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration to offset expenses for printing, postage and advertising. The Awareness Campaign activities included the following:

• Facilitating news stories in the local media about the 2000 Census.

• Providing a local Hispanic Newsletter with article information promoting Census awareness.

• Appearances on local radio stations and at schools by Chairperson Haroldson to discuss the importance of the 2000 Census.

• Distributing Census educational materials and information at the local Senior Citizen Centers.

• Designing and distributing posters that illustrate local landmarks and the importance of Census data.

• Developing a Web site by Lake Mills High School Students to promote the 2000 Census in Jefferson County.

• Designing leaflets in English and Spanish and distributing them to local business encouraging employees to return the census forms promptly.

• Purchasing advertising in a countywide publication to promote completion and return of Census forms.

The Complete Count Committee members finished these duties and also served as local resources for individuals with questions or concerns about the 2000 Census.

Respectfully Submitted

Andrew J. Erdman, Complete Count Committee Staff Support

Mr. Zimdars moved that the report be accepted. Seconded and carried.

Mr. Berg moved that the Committee be thanked publicly and by letter. Seconded and carried.

County Surveyor Thomas Wollin presented the annual report for his office.

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

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD

During the year 1999, private land surveying continued at a brisk pace with 243 Plats of Survey, 146 Certified Surveys, and 13 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 landowner or local government.

Survey projects were also done for the flood mitigation project for the Emergency Management Office, for Countryside, for the Fairgrounds, and for the Land Information Office, using the G.P.S. equipment that was purchased by funds from a State grant.

1999 also involved re-indexing all section corners in the County so that each corner will have a specific number. This will allow the corner to be stored and accessed in the computer. All section corner tie sheets, plats of survey, large sized map sheets, and certified surveys were scanned into the computer. This involved over 10,000 paper documents.

Also in 1999, the State Highway Department implemented its Transportation 2000 Project which seeks to limit driveway access and extend setback requirements on all State and Federal highways. This program directly affects the recording of certified survey maps and subdivision plats that front on said highways. The goal of the project is to use existing driveways and allow the future purchase of land along the right of way without having to pay for improvements that the landowner may have put in, such as wells and septic systems.

The State Highway Department also started recording its right of way plats with the County Register of Deeds. Yet to be worked out is the size of the plats and a method for recording revisions to the plats.

Respectfully submitted,

Thomas Wollin

County Surveyor

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

Gail Chamberlain, Director of the Jefferson County Health Department, presented the 1999 annual report for that department.

MISSION OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT

The mission of the Jefferson County Health Department is the primary prevention of premature death and disability of all Jefferson County residents and assuring the conditions under which people can be healthy.

FINANCIAL HEALTH OF JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT

Overall, the 1999 budget year for the Health Department included a $194,892 carryover.

LEVEL II HEALTH DEPARTMENT DESIGNATION

FOOT CARE CLINIC

Routine foot care is provided at a specialized clinic for elderly and disabled clients unable to take care of their feet and nails. Services include a general assessment of the feet, soaking, trimming and filing nails. Clients with diabetes, peripheral vascular disease or an infection of the feet are referred to a Podiatrist. This program is funded by user fees.

PERSONAL CARE PROGRAM

This in-home long term care and support program has been recognized state-wide as a cost-effective model of cooperation between the Health Department and Human Services Departments in Jefferson County.

EXPANSION OF PERSONAL CARE

In 1999, a large Jefferson County Personal Care Agency closed and Jefferson County Personal Care absorbed all clients residing in Jefferson County. As a result, the Personal Care Program received increased requests for services on weekends and evenings. In order to meet this community need, the Health Department entered into a partnership with Country Nurses and Staffing Edge (supplemental staffing agencies) to provide caregivers for cases unable to be filled by Jefferson County Personal Care. Long term care is experiencing a shift from institutional care to more case plans that support community based services for clients with long term care needs.

Over 1,200 Jefferson County residents participate and are given resource and referral information as needed. The Health Department WIC program also rents breast pumps.

COMMUNICABLE DISEASE

Public health nurses immunize County residents against vaccine preventable diseases including polio, diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella, haemophilus influenza type b, pneumonia, influenza, hepatitis B, varicella and Lyme disease. Provision of immunization services is supported in part by free state supplied vaccine, with the exception of Lyme disease, influenza, pneumonia and adult hepatitis b, with individuals or employers paying for these vaccines.

The epidemiology team investigates all reported communicable diseases such as giardiasis, salmonella, chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, meningitis, hepatitis, food or water borne outbreaks to name a few and uses established outbreak control protocols to manage response to vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks. Public health staff acts as a resource to other medical providers in the area of communicable disease control.

Public health nurses implement strategies to enhance and reinforce the integration of AIDS/Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) prevention education in school curricula.

INFANT, CHILD AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH

Public health nurses provide primary health care services to all families with newborns and children through a comprehensive public health nurse home visit program.

Public health nurses offer in-home parenting programs to families. Public health nurses offer needed support and resources for families with children with special health care needs.

DAY CARE AND SCHOOL SERVICES

Public health nurses provide screening, education and referral services to prevent illness and promote optimal health. Public health nurses serve as consultants regarding healthy lifestyle and prevention of chronic disease and communicable disease in school and child care facilities. The Health Department strives to increase immunization compliance of all children and staff in schools and day care facilities.

Public health nurses help to assure that all children entering school for the first time receive a comprehensive health screening with referral for necessary diagnosis and treatment services.

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PRENATAL CARE COORDINATION

Prenatal care coordination is offered to all pregnant women referred to public health. Reimbursement is provided by Medical Assistance when appropriate.

MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH (MCH) – PRENATAL CARE SERVICES

Prenatal care services are offered to all pregnant women referred to public health.

MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH – WELL CHILD CLINIC

Jefferson County Health Department has received MCH block grant funds since 1979 to offer Well Baby/Child Clinics in Jefferson County. The clinics are used by families who would otherwise have difficulty in affording preventive health care, including immunizations. Schools and day care programs accept the well child assessment for school entrance. Over the years, many acute and chronic health conditions have been identified by the public health nurses offering this service, and early intervention for diagnosis and treatment has resulted in cost savings and prevention of further disability.

MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH – ORAL HEALTH

Children enrolled in the Jefferson County Head Start Program are assessed for use of well water as their primary source of drinking water and need for fluoride supplementation. Supplements are provided free of charge through the MCH block grant.

HEALTHY START

This program expands the eligibility limits of Medical Assistance for pregnant women and children up to age 6, so that uninsured working families in lower-middle income brackets can have health insurance coverage for prenatal care, delivery and well-baby/child care. Prenatal care is the most important and effective means to prevent premature birth, which costs ten or more times as much as a full term birth.

Jefferson County Health Department provides outreach to make families and health care providers aware of this program. The Health Department's role is to assure that such care exists and to help people become aware of and have access to this care.

CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS

Jefferson County Health Department public health program continues to work with Rock and Green County and the Cities of Beloit and Watertown Health Departments to assess the needs of families with children with special health care needs. Services are provided by the program coordinator who acts as an advocate for the child, provides resource and referral information and community support.

CORRECTIONAL HEALTH

Public Health Nurses provide comprehensive health services to inmates residing in the Jefferson County Jail. The Sheriff's Department contracts with Jefferson County Health Department for these services.

PATERNITY DNA TESTING

In cooperation with the Jefferson County Child Support Office, the Health Department provides services to assist in the determination of paternity in court ordered cases.

CHILDHOOD LEAD POISONING PREVENTION

Since 1993, the Jefferson County Health Department has received grant funds to screen all children at WIC certification and Well Child Clinics for blood lead levels. Follow-up is provided as appropriate and according to public health protocol with home visits made by the environmental health specialist for environmental assessments.

IMMUNIZATION GRANT

Immunization grant funds are used to promote the completion of immunizations for every child by age two. An important part of this program is to keep accurate records. This is done through a computerized record keeping system.

A reminder/recall system is designed so that parents fill out their own postcards which are mailed shortly before the next immunization is due. A copy of the immunizations given through the Health Department is sent to the child's physician for assurance of proper completion of immunizations.

WISCONSIN WELL WOMAN PROGRAM

Starting in 1994, Jefferson County Health Department has received funds for outreach to high risk women to encourage and facilitate screening, diagnosis and treatment of breast and cervical cancer. High risk women include those over age 40, uninsured, underinsured and with a low income. Local area healthcare providers have been recruited to provide the services with reimbursement from the program.

Starting in 1998, the Jefferson County Health Department joined the Southeast Region Consortium to provide outreach, screening and referral services to high risk women in the following areas: diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, mental health and domestic abuse. Providers will be recruited to further enhance health services to women.

PROJECT ASSIST

Project ASSIST is a grant awarded to the Health Department for the purpose of decreasing the number of people who use tobacco products, especially teens. The Project ASSIST team is working on establishing a list of smoke free restaurants in Jefferson County and assisting youth to be tobacco free.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

The focus of the Environmental Health program in Jefferson County is identification and abatement of environmental hazards that cause death and disease in Jefferson County residents, cooperation with local and state agencies that regulate different aspects of environmental health and provision of education, assessment and monitoring for specific environmental health problems for which the Jefferson County Health Officer has primary responsibility.

The Health Department Environmental Health Specialist continues to provide education and investigation services to County residents with water quality concerns, asbestos questions, hazardous materials concerns, air quality problems, radon concerns, lead concerns, human health hazard complaints including housing problems, rabies control concerns, sewage and solid waste management.

RADON GRANT

Jefferson County Health Department was awarded a grant to provide education, outreach and testing services for the presence of radon in homes.

MENTAL HEALTH NURSING CARE

Starting in late 1998, a public health nurse implemented mental health nursing services to Jefferson County Human Services clients at the Lueder Haus and in the community.

Services include: Interacting with the Community Support Program (CSP) clients who are chronically mentally ill. The goal of the CSP is to help clients live within the community, giving them the opportunity to function responsibly by offering them guidance in coping skills of all kinds - economic, social, medical, and emotional. Monitoring of medications of CSP clients by assessing medication effects and side effects, making medication changes as needed in consultation with the Jefferson County Psychiatrist or client's physician, assessing physical well-being of clients who often have many somatic problems and being a liaison between medical caregivers and the clients; participating in leading a parenting group among CSP clients with young children; monitoring the medications for mentally ill clients residing in the community; maintaining the Haldol/Prolixin Decanoate injections for clients; performing blood draws for blood work for routine medication requirements and also for blood work ordered by the client's physicians and by Dr. Haggert, Jefferson County Human Services Department community psychiatrist.

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE (MA) OUTREACH/IMMUNIZATION OUTREACH

Jefferson County Health Department has been awarded money to provide outreach services to two populations - those needing Medical Assistance and those needing immunizations. A detailed outreach plan guides the work in this area. Activities are conducted by the public health staff.

NEW PARENTS CLASS

The Health Department Public Health Nurses partner with Jefferson County Child Support Office and Jefferson County Family Court Counseling Services to teach basic parenting skills to separated parents of newborns. These young mothers and fathers learn how to care for the needs of their babies and how to partner in raising a baby when the parents reside in separate homes.

TURNING POINT – THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC HEALTH

Gail Chamberlain, Director, was appointed by Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services Secretary, Joe Leean, as a member of the Turning Point Transformation Team to develop the 2010 Public Health Improvement Plan for the State of Wisconsin. The Transformation Team has been given the task to transform Wisconsin's public health system to address current and emerging 21st century health problems and issues.

HOME HEALTH

Medicare will implement a new home health reimbursement system called Prospective Pay in the fall of 2000. Information from the OASIS assessment will be used to determine the reimbursement an agency will receive to care for a client during a 60-day episode of care. Payment will be based on the client's diagnosis, severity of illness, and activities of daily living limitations.

A Home Health Compliance Plan was developed to ensure quality cost-effective care. Clinical Pathways are utilized to monitor the client's level of care, discipline involved, number of visits, and payor source. Case management will ensure appropriate use of resources.

THE WISCONSIN CAREGIVER PROGRAM

1999 saw the implementation of the Wisconsin Caregiver Program in which all medical providers of care must complete a criminal background record check and a validation of current license for all registered nurses, therapists, licensed practical nurses, and inclusion of all home health aides on the Wisconsin Nurse Aide Registry. A criminal background check is also completed on all personal care workers. Workers with specific crimes are excluded from working in health department programs and are offered a rehabilitative review by the State of Wisconsin. Health Department employees must also report any abuse, neglect or misappropriation of property to their program manager who must report it to local law authorities and the State.

Jefferson County Health Department completed caregiver background checks on all current employees and, upon offer of employment, will complete a check on all new employees.

THE WISCONSIN IMMUNIZATION REGISTRY (WIR)

The Wisconsin Division of Public Health, Department of Health and Family Services, Immunization Program, has developed an Internet based immunization registry to be used by all providers of vaccine - public and private. This includes all local health departments, medical clinics and physicians. Jefferson County Health Department is working toward converting from the main frame based immunization record to the WIR in the fall of 2000. Health Department staff will partner with Wisconsin Immunization Program staff to promote, educate and implement the WIR in private provider's offices. This system will be accessible to local health departments, medical providers and parents.

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

Tom Schleitwiler , Director of the Human Services Department, presented the 1999 annual report of the Department.

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

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD:

This report marks the first year of operations of Jefferson County's Workforce Development Center. In June of 1999 our Resource Assistance programs were moved into the Center along with a number of other partners who provide employment and training programs. These include:

• W-Program and non-W-2 Programs (Medical Assistance, Badger Care, Food Stamps, General Relief),
• Job Service,
• Department of Vocational Rehabilitation,
• Private Industry Council,
• Madison Area Technical College - Fort Atkinson and Watertown,
• Opportunities, Incorporated/Diversified Personnel Services, and the
• Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation

The Center functions as one integrated and coordinated operation which provides a full array of services to job seekers and employers and also is the base of operations for the W-2 program.

Readers who are interested in more detail about the Workforce Development Center should consult the first annual Center report. These are available by contacting the Workforce Development Center Coordinator or the Human Services Director.

Levels of aid provided in our Resource Assistance area were quite similar to 1998 levels. Total cases for Food Stamps were 3,779, Medical Assistance average monthly cases were 3,061 and total cases for General Relief were 43. Wisconsin Works caseloads averaged approximately 20 per month with only 8-12 families receiving cash assistance. The St. Vincent de Paul Society of Jefferson continued to provide substantial case benefits and served 231 people in 1999.

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 1999, 1827 persons were enrolled as active clients. Of these, 1040 received some sort of service in an average month. A total of 2860 different persons received some services during the year. This is a decrease of 323 persons from 1998.

The monthly average number of persons who received services during 1999 was 1040. This is a small increase when comparing 1998 - 1014. The most common problems for which services are provided continue to be the developmentally disabled, mentally ill, intoxicated drivers, and children/family problems including delinquency, child abuse and child neglect.

Specialized services for adult mentally ill (Community Support Program) and delinquent youth and their families (Project JOIN, Comprehensive Strategic Planning) were increased during 1999.

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.

Large numbers of elderly County residents continue to receive congregate and home-delivered meals, transportation, Benefit Specialist Services, personal care and foot care. A total of 207 individuals received long term support funding and services in order to remain in their own homes as opposed to nursing home care.

Long tem support services for County residents continue to grow steadily and we project that this will continue. Important changes in the Long Term Care System are being planned and piloted in Wisconsin. All counties will become part of this process in the next two to five years.

MISSION

The mission of the Workforce Development Center is to advance the economic well-being of the area by developing and maintaining a quality workforce.

The goals of the center are to:

• Create and maintain a center that is customer friendly
• Provide high quality services for employers and residents
• Develop strong linkages with educational institutions
• Work in close partnership with employers

• Create a valued community asset

MEETING WORKFORCE CHALLENGES

Good jobs and skilled workers are vital to the economic prosperity of Jefferson County.

Fueled by factors such as global competition, increased automation, low unemployment, and flat population growth, local employers struggle to find and retain qualified workers. Residents, on the other hand, struggle to balance work and family and to meet the constantly changing demands of the modern workplace. To succeed in today's job market, Jefferson County residents need to continually develop, refine, and enhance their job skills and employability.

The Workforce Development Center of Jefferson County provides convenient, one-stop access to all available workforce services in Jefferson County. The center's primary customer is "everyone" and the center's primary product is "everything necessary to find, get and keep good jobs and qualified workers."

The center began operations June, 1999 following a three-year planning process and $2.5 million public investment by Jefferson County. Thanks to the leadership of local employers, Jefferson County, the State of Wisconsin, the regional workforce development board, the local economic development corporation, the career center, local service providers, and the Jefferson County school system, the center has met with resounding success.

Mr. Keating read the following:

The State has passed legislation providing Jefferson County with up to $72,000 (at last calculation) as part of a statewide effort to increase wages for certified nursing assistants in nursing homes. The County is already expending a sum in excess of that required by the State to qualify for the funding. However, Countryside is still unable to fill all certified nursing assistant positions. As a result, the County has entered into discussions with the Countryside Union AFSCME Local 2418 to address issues to help fill vacant positions and provide some reward to long-term employees in certified nursing assistant positions as set forth below.

Currently, County rules require a wait of 6 months before health insurance is paid by the County. That 6-month wait has caused a number of persons to decline employment with the County. Part of the proposal is to permit new employees to pay 25 percent of the health insurance premium and start insurance within 30 days of employment commencement. The employee would continue to pay that share over a period of 24 months, at which time the County would then pay the negotiated percentage of health insurance premium applicable to other employees. This would allow persons in need of insurance coverage who would otherwise be unable to pay the full premium on their own for the 6-month waiting period to have a reasonable monthly payment and obtain insurance coverage quickly. Hopefully, this will cause some persons to enter County employment as nursing assistants who would otherwise not do so.

The second part of the proposal has to do with shift premiums. There are currently shift premiums in place for the p.m. and night shifts of $.75 and $.15 per hour respectively. It is proposed that these premiums be increased to $1.25 and $.40.

The final piece of the proposed agreement is to provide a bonus to CNAs working at Countryside on January 1, 2001 of $.11 for each hour worked during the year 2000.

The Committee recommends entering this agreement on a nonprecedential trial basis to see if it helps fill the vacant positions. If it does not, it is anticipated that the Committee would negotiate further with the Union to address expenditure of funds in a fashion that helps alleviate the staffing shortage.

As this agreement would involve expenditure of a significant amount of funds not previously budgeted, County Board approval is requested. The amount of money to be received will fund the proposed changes.

PERSONNEL COMMITTEE

Mr. Keating moved that the report be accepted. Seconded and carried.

Mr. Keating read Resolution No. 2000-26.

WHEREAS, Jefferson County will receive approximately $72,000 in wage pass-through funds from the State to supplement wages and fringe benefits for Certified Nursing Assistants employed by the County, and

WHEREAS, the County and AFSCME Local 2418 have discussed application of said funds to reward current employees for their service and increase pay and insurance availability for the purpose of attracting Certified Nursing Assistants to vacancies which the County has been unable to fill,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Jefferson County Administrator is authorized to execute a memorandum of understanding with Local 2418 providing for increased insurance availability, shift premium pay and an $.11 per hour bonus for Certified Nursing Assistants, to be funded by monies received from the State of Wisconsin for this purpose.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such agreement may be terminated by the Personnel Committee if the Committee deems it appropriate.

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 held on May 18, 2000 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

2148A-00, 2149A-00, 667A-00M, 2150A-00, 2151A-00, 2152A-00, 2153A-00, 2154A-00, 2155A-00, 2156A-00, 2140A-00, 2157A-00, 2158A-00, 2159A-00, 2160A-00, 2161A-00, 2162A-00, 2163A-00, 2165A-00, 2167A-00, 2168A-00 and 2170A-00

DENIAL OF PETITION 2169A-00

Petition 2169A-00 was filed by William and Josielee Schlieper to create two, 2 acre lots along Highmound Road in the Town of Concord. This is recommended for denial because they were not clustered near the existing buildings, and because the size of these proposed lots was not consistent with the Jefferson County Agricultural Preservation and Land Use Plan which dictates that the least amount of prime land possible should be utilized.
