Yvonne R. Duesterhoeft, Background Summary

To Whom It May Concern:

After growing up in Jefferson County as an avid 4-Her and graduating from Jefferson High School, I spent five years in the U.S. Air Force, stationed at Rhein-Main Air Base in Germany. I was honorably discharged just after the Gulf War, but remained in Germany for another five years as an independent business owner.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management through the University of Maryland's Overseas Division and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Arts Entrepreneurship through UW-Whitewater. The most important part of my education though, has been gained through the life experiences of working with a vast array of people in diverse situations.

Since my return to Jefferson County five years ago I have:

• Worked for Empire-Globe Corporation in the development of South Water Street in Watertown, most notably, The Market Specialty Shopping Mall

• Been instrumental in the establishment of the Jefferson County Tourism Council

• Coordinated the production and distribution of the Jefferson County Area Visitor's Guide

• Served as the Vice President of the Watertown Tourism Board since 1998
• Served actively on the Council for the Performing Arts Board from 1997 until 1999 and continue to lend my support to that cause
• Served on Watertown's Main Street Program Board, as well as the economic restructuring and the marketing and promotion committees.

Respectfully submitted,

Yvonne R. Duesterhoeft

Mr. Munyon moved that the appointment be confirmed. Seconded and carried.

The County Clerk administered the oath of office to Ms. Duesterhoeft.

County Clerk Frank read a Notice of Public Hearing from the Zoning Committee for the hearing to be held on February 15, 2001. The notice was ordered received and placed on file.

There were no dog claims.

The following persons spoke for support and adoption of the Korth Master Plan by the County Board: Stan Smoniewski, Joanna Chworowsky, Hope Oostdik and Patricia Cicero (Resource Conservationist for Jefferson County Land Conservation office).

The Regular Order of Business was resumed.

TO THE HONORABLE JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:

I hereby respectfully submit the 2000 Annual Report of the County Clerk's office.

The clerk's office performs all accounting functions for the county, processes payroll, issuing 20,784 payroll checks grossing $24,068,434 and netting $14,036,584. We also process 17,967 accounts payable checks totaling $51,331,386. All budget schedules are prepared in our office. The five-year projection including capital expenditures was added to the budget in trying to prepare for the future in our budgeting process. Jefferson County also changed third party administrator for health and dental insurance. Due to cost and other factors, it was decided to switch from Blue Cross & Blue Shield to WPS Insurtec. The conversion was tough but things seem to be going well. Employees are very happy with how their claims are being handled.

Counter services we provide to the public include but are not limited to issuing marriage licenses, temporary Department of Motor Vehicle license plates, and Department of Natural Resources hunting & fishing licenses and permits. We are hoping to computerize the marriage license process in 2001. The following is a breakdown of fees collected and paid to the Jefferson County Treasurer.

449 DMV Temporary License Plate Fees $ 2,245.00

544 Marriage License Fees @ $15.00 $ 8,160.00

64 Marriage License Waivers @ $10.00 $ 640.00

Total DNR fees retained by County $ 281.55

Total Fees Retained by County $ 11,326.55

The County Clerk's excellent staff is made up of Sarah Kitsembel, Accounting Manager; Janet Branish, Cindy Gehri, Kay Holm and Audrey Guerra.

The following mission statement has been adopted: "Jefferson County Fair Park provides a county owned facility for all citizens where young and old can gather to display their talents, accomplishments and celebrate their cultures; thereby promoting education, entertainment and economic growth in Jefferson County".

Jefferson County Fair Park is progressing with the 21st century. The Park is not just the Jefferson County Fair, but a year round facility utilized by an increased number of renters throughout Jefferson County and surrounding areas. One of the areas that have seen significant increases are the horse shows both with number of shows and size of the shows. We have a facility that is multipurpose and user friendly. We strive to be versatile and cost effective for Jefferson County.

Some additional improvements were made in 2000. We updated the east exhibit barn with new steel and windows. This gave us an additional building that was ready to be used during the Jefferson County Home Show in April. Jefferson County Highway Department brought in gravel for the north parking lot and behind the grandstand last fall. Slowly, the "wet areas" will be taken care of to expand our usage of the Park. The east fence line in the parking lot has been improved with new chain link fencing replacing the snow fence.

The Solid Waste Committee has generously provided attractive recycling and garbage containers that have been placed throughout the entire Park. The Jefferson County 4-H Horse & Pony Project along with the Kettle Moraine Rough Riders organization contributed to complete the announcers stand by the outdoor arena. Madison Classics continued with their support by contributing gravel to the Fair Park in the parking lot. The 4-H Meat Animal Project (MAP) donated toward the improvements of the west-side animal buildings with shade panels.

In April of 2000, we lost two storage buildings, with one being the "Cross Buildings" which is the historical building on the east side of Jackson Street to a fire. We had planned to move this to the other side as a picnic pavilion.

Service organizations were asked to work the gates during fair. Returning organizations are appreciated during Fair and it gives these county organizations a chance for fund raising. County organizations working the gates were: Lions, St. John's Catholic School, Optimists, Habitat of Jefferson County, Kiwanis of Jefferson County and the Jefferson Athletic Boosters doing the parking in the north parking lot.

To the delight of most, the temperature was not a problem. Advance season tickets were up, with families taking advantage of the family 5 pack.

The 2000 grandstand shows began on Wednesday evening with the Oak Ridge Boys performing to a huge crowd with upcoming star Lila McCann and, following a quick shower on Friday evening, an excellent crowd enjoyed Bryan White with Alicia Elliot opening. Senior Citizens' Day was great with nice weather and it seemed that the 60' x 150' entertainment tent was too small for all who enjoyed the big band sound of The Lawrence Duchow Orchestra. The Badger State Tractor Pullers put on a screaming show at the grandstand in the evening. Kid's Day was at an all time high on Friday. Saturday's afternoon County Tractor Pull and evening Badger Truck Pullers performance were great. Even though we had some intermittent showers on Sunday afternoon, it only made the demo derby more exciting with more flying mud. This year the fair goers enjoyed the Swifty Racing Pigs and Kaundu & Co. returning to Jefferson.

For the first time since the expansion was completed, we encountered a good problem; we ran out of parking. We had to use the east-side parcel to handle the overflow. Additional parking acres will be needed as we grow and continue to draw larger crowds to the Jefferson County Fair and other events.

Three Fairest of the Fair contestants completed their competition on Wednesday evening with the crowning of Kylene Cook of Fort Atkinson. She will represent Jefferson County this fall, spring and summer and compete in Appleton at the Wisconsin Association of Fair convention January 8 – 10, 2001. Local businesses help support this program through contribution of gifts for each of the contestants. Thanks to Nicole Jordan, 1999 Fairest of the Fair, Jennifer Zastrow, and Paul Essock for their efforts to make this program a success.

WHEREAS, the Committee has reviewed existing policies, law, and recommendations from the County Auditor.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Resolution No. 108 is hereby rescinded.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Treasurer is hereby authorized to invest County funds in accordance with the Jefferson County Investment Policy adopted by the Audit Committee December 14, 2000, and hereby approved.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of the Jefferson County Investment Policy shall be printed in the minutes.

JEFFERSON COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY

The timely deposit and investment of public funds is an important and integral part of any cash management program.

Acceptance and approval of this statement is intended for the use and guidance of the designated official with investment authority.

This policy shall be reviewed annually by the Audit Committee, and the necessary resolution to modify the existing policy shall be presented to the County Board for its action.

The purpose of this investment policy is to establish guidelines for investments which are broad enough to allow the investment officer to function properly within the parameters of responsibility and authority. It is also intended to be specific enough to establish a prudent set of basic procedures to assure that investment assets are adequately safeguarded. It assures that the fundamental principle concerning any investment program involving public moneys has four basic ingredients: legality, safety, liquidity & yield.

Effective cash management involves controlling cash from the time it is received until it is disbursed. It requires the availability of accurate information on a timely basis. One person shall be delegated the day-to-day responsibility for the overall financial operation to determine cash availability and needs.

1) AUTHORITY. Pursuant to Sec. 59.62(1) Wis. Stats., the authority to invest and re-invest money of the County, to sell or exchange securities so purchased and to provide for the safekeeping of such securities is entrusted to the County Treasurer. In the absence or illness of the County Treasurer this authority shall be delegated to the Deputy Treasurer.

2) INVESTMENT. The County Treasurer may purchase securities that are permissible investments from money in his/her custody, which is not required for the immediate needs of the County, as he/she deems wise and expedient. The investment activity of Wisconsin public funds is governed by Section 66.0603 and other sections of the Wisconsin Statutes as follows:

Any county, city, village, town, school district, drainage district, vocational, technical and adult education district or other governing board as defined by Sec. 34.01 (1) may invest any of its funds not immediately needed in

(a) Time deposits in any credit union, bank, savings bank, trust company or savings and loan association which is authorized to transact business in this state, such time deposits maturing in not more than three years, or

(b) In bonds or securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest of the U.S. Government, or of a commission, board or other instrumentality of the U.S. Government, or

(c) In bonds or securities of any county, city, drainage district, village, town or school district of this state, or

(d) In commercial paper which is the highest or second highest rating category assigned by Standard and Poors Corporation, Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or other similar nationally recognized rating agency may be used to the extent that a collateralization level of 125% is maintained.

(e) Securities of an open-end management investment company or investment trust, if there is no charge for a sales load and is registered under the investment company act of 1940, 15 USC 80a-1 to 80a-64.

(f) In the local government pooled investment fund or the local government trust investment fund.

 

The Audit Committee shall consult quarterly with the County Treasurer regarding such investments. The Treasurer shall provide the committee with a detailed list of all the investment portfolio holdings.

The County Treasurer shall communicate with financial institutions and/or investment advisors and avail himself/herself of other financial information on current or pending market conditions in making his decision on rates and maturities as well as the securities to be purchased. In making all investment decisions, the County Treasurer shall endeavor to obtain the highest rate of interest offered unless he deems such offer to be contrary to the overall investment objectives of the County.

3) REDEMPTION. The County Treasurer shall periodically redeem the securities in which County money has been invested pursuant to (2) so that the proceeds may be applied to the purpose for which the original purchase money was designated or placed in the County Treasury.

With the passage of Wisconsin Act 25, effective August 1, 1985, there is no longer the overall guarantee of public funds by the State. In effect, Act 25 abolished the state deposit guarantee fund. It will continue to pledge general purpose revenues under Wis. Stats., 20.144 (1) (a), for the payment of losses of public deposits until the balance of the appropriation is exhausted. However, no payment for a loss in excess of $400,000.00 for any one public depositor in any individual public depository may be made. F.D.I.C. insures deposits up to $100,000.00, making a public depositor protected for a total of $500,000.00 for deposits in any one institution.

Chapter 34.07 as amended provides that a surety bond or other security may be required of a given public depository for any public deposit that exceeds the $400,000.00 amount guaranteed by the State. Jefferson County will require this collateral for any deposit that exceeds the $500,000.00 guaranteed by the State and the F.D.I.C.

Certificates of Deposits or other investments exceeding $500,000.00 shall be fully secured by obligations of the United State Government or its agencies. Such securities shall be delivered to the County. The market value of the collateral shall at all times equal or exceed the principal amount of the certificate of deposit. Value of the collateral shall be monitored and market value shall near the bid or closing price of the security as quoted in the Wall Street Journal or other recognized pricing source. The investing officer shall be authorized to sign for agreements with the Custodial Bank or the receipt for any pledged securities.

Responsibility for the administration of the foregoing rests with the County Treasurer.

The County Treasurer as investment officer shall monthly provide the full County Board a written report on the general condition of the County cash and investments.

INITIAL RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING GENERAL

OBLIGATION PROMISSORY NOTES

IN THE AMOUNT OF $840,000

WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Jefferson County, Wisconsin (the "County") finds and determines that it is necessary, desirable and in the best interest of the County to raise funds for the purpose of paying the cost of constructing and equipping parks department maintenance facilities including related site improvements (the "Project"), and there are insufficient funds on hand to pay said costs;

WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors hereby finds and determines that the Project is within the County's power to undertake and serves a "public purpose" as that term is defined in Section 67.04(1)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes;

WHEREAS, counties are authorized by the provisions of Section 67.12(12) of the Wisconsin Statutes to borrow money and issue general obligation promissory notes for said public purposes;

WHEREAS, counties may issue general obligation promissory notes for such public purposes pursuant to Section 67.045(1)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes if the Board of Supervisors adopts a resolution that sets forth its reasonable expectations that issuance of the Notes will not cause the County to increase the debt levy rate, as defined in Section 59.605 of the Wisconsin Statutes;

WHEREAS, the Department of Revenue has promulgated standards for debt issuance regarding the establishment of such reasonable expectations (Wis. Admin. Code § Tax 21.06);

WHEREAS, the County's 1992 debt service levy for the year 1993 was $1,616,400 and the County's 1992 debt levy rate was .000869774 as set forth on the attached Exhibit A;

WHEREAS, the five year historical average percentage of dollar growth in equalized values of taxable property exclusive of tax incremental district value is 7.92% as set forth in the attached Exhibit B;

WHEREAS, the growth in the allowable annual debt levy rate as determined by multiplying the growth in equalized value by the prior year levy rate is set forth in the attached Exhibit C;

WHEREAS, the proposed debt service for the general obligation promissory notes necessary to pay the cost of the Project is set forth on the attached Exhibit D and shows no increase in the County's 1992 debt levy rate over the life of the Notes;

WHEREAS, the proposed debt service for the only other known projects for which the County has borrowed or anticipates borrowing is set forth on the attached Exhibit D and also shows no increase in the County's 1992 debt levy rate over the life of the Notes;

WHEREAS, the County's independent certified public accountants have agreed that the Project constitutes expenditures which can be associated with the issuance of long term debt in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as set forth in the attached Exhibit E; and

WHEREAS, except as shown on Exhibit D, there are no balloon payments or variable rate debt contemplated by the County and the County is not using any estimate of state aid in reaching its conclusion on reasonable expectations.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of the County that:

Section 1. Reasonable Expectations. In accordance with Section 67.045(1)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes and Wis. Admin. Code § Tax 21.06 and on the basis of the information set forth on Exhibits A through E attached hereto, the Board of Supervisors reasonably expects that $840,000 general obligation promissory notes issued to pay the cost of the Project will not cause the County to increase the debt levy rate as defined in Section 59.605 of the Wisconsin Statutes.

Section 2. Authorization of the Notes. For the purpose of paying the cost of the Project, there shall be borrowed pursuant to Section 67.12(12) of the Wisconsin Statutes the principal sum of EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($840,000) from a purchaser to be determined by subsequent resolution of the Budget Committee and that there be issued general obligation promissory notes in the amount of $840,000 therefor.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF $840,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION PROMISSORY NOTES

WHEREAS, the County Board of Supervisors of Jefferson County, Wisconsin (the "County") has adopted an initial resolution (the "Initial Resolution") authorizing the issuance of $840,000 general obligation promissory notes for the public purpose of paying the cost of constructing and equipping parks department maintenance facilities including related site improvements (the "Project");

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Initial Resolution, the County Board of Supervisors set forth its reasonable expectations that issuance of the Notes would not cause the County to increase the debt levy rate, as defined in Section 59.605 of the Wisconsin Statutes. Counties may issue general obligation promissory notes for such public purpose pursuant to Section 67.045(1)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes if such reasonable expectations apply; and

WHEREAS the County Board of Supervisors of the County deems it necessary and in the best interest of the County that said sum be borrowed pursuant to the provisions of Section 67.12(12), Wis. Stats., upon the terms and conditions hereinafter provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the County Board of Supervisors of Jefferson County, Wisconsin, that:

Section 1. Sale of Notes. The County shall sell and deliver its General Obligation Promissory Notes in a principal amount not to exceed $840,000 (the "Notes"), issued for the purpose above stated, to a purchaser to be determined at public sale (the "Underwriter"). The purchase price to be paid for the Notes shall be such that the aggregate Underwriter's discount on the Notes shall not exceed 1.00% of the principal amount of the Notes. The issuance and sale of the Notes to the Underwriter is subject to satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 14 of this Resolution.

Section 2. The Notes. The Chairperson and County Clerk shall make, execute and deliver the Notes to the Underwriter, for and on behalf of the County. The Notes shall be negotiable, general obligation promissory notes of the County, registered as to both principal and interest. The Notes shall be in the denomination of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) each or whole multiples thereof and dated April 1, 2001.

The Notes shall mature on April 1 of each of the years and in the amounts set forth below:

Year Amount

2007 $155,000

2008 $160,000

2009 $165,000

2010 $175,000

2011 $185,000

The Notes shall bear interest at rates per annum which will produce a true interest rate on the Notes not in excess of 4.90%. Interest on the Notes shall be payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2001. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and will be rounded pursuant to the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.

At the option of the County, the Notes maturing on April 1, 2008, and thereafter shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity on April 1, 2007, or any date thereafter. Said Notes shall be redeemable as a whole or in part, and if in part, from maturities selected by the County and within each maturity by lot, at the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.

Section 3. Form of Notes. The Notes shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Section 4. Tax Provisions.

(A) Direct Annual Irrepealable Tax. For the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Notes as the same become due, the full faith, credit and resources of the County are hereby irrevocably pledged and there be and there hereby is levied on all the taxable property in the County a direct, annual, irrepealable tax in such years and in such amounts as are sufficient to meet such principal and interest payments when due.

(B) Tax Collection. The County shall be and continue without power to repeal such levy or obstruct the collection of said tax until all such payments have been made or provided for. After the issuance of the Notes, said tax shall be, from year to year, carried into the tax rolls of the County and collected as other taxes are collected, provided that the amount of tax carried into said tax rolls may be reduced in any year by the amount of any surplus money in the Debt Service Account created in Section 5(A) hereof.

(C) Additional Funds. If in any year there shall be insufficient funds from the tax levy to pay the principal of or interest on the Notes when due, the said principal or interest shall be paid from other funds of the County on hand, said amounts to be returned when said taxes have been collected.

(D) Appropriation. There be and there hereby is appropriated from proceeds of the Notes or other funds of the County on hand a sum sufficient to be deposited in the Debt Service Account to meet payments with respect to debt service due on October 1, 2001, which sum may be returned to the general fund upon collection of the taxes herein levied for the year 2001.

Section 5. Debt Service Fund and Account.

(A) Creation and Deposits. Within the debt service fund previously established in the treasury of the County, there be and there hereby is established a separate and distinct account designated as the "Debt Service Account for General Obligation Promissory Notes dated April 1, 2001" (the "Debt Service Account") and said Account shall be maintained until the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is fully paid or otherwise extinguished. The County Treasurer shall deposit in such Debt Service Account (i) all accrued interest received by the County at the time of delivery of and payment for the Notes; (ii) the taxes herein levied for the specific purpose of meeting principal of and interest on the Notes when due; (iii) such other sums as may be necessary at any time to pay principal of and interest on the Notes when due; (iv) any premium which may be received by the County over and above the par value of the Notes and accrued interest thereon; (v) surplus monies in the Borrowed Money Fund as specified in Section 6 hereof; and (vi) such further deposits as may be required by Sec. 67.11, Wis. Stats.

(B) Use and Investment. No money shall be withdrawn from the Debt Service Account and appropriated for any purpose other than the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes until all such principal and interest has been paid in full and canceled; provided (i) the funds to provide for each payment of principal of and interest on the Notes prior to the scheduled receipt of taxes from the next succeeding tax collection may be invested in direct obligations of the United States of America maturing in time to make such payments when they are due or in other investments permitted by law; and (ii) any funds over and above the amount of such principal and interest payments on the Notes may be used to reduce the next succeeding tax levy, or may, at the option of the County, be invested by purchasing the Notes as permitted by and subject to Section 67.11(2)(a), Wis. Stats., in interest-bearing obligations of the United States of America, in other obligations of the County or in other investments permitted by law, which investments shall continue to be a part of the Debt Service Account.

(C) Remaining Monies. When all of the Notes have been paid in full and canceled, and all permitted investments disposed of, any money remaining in the Debt Service Account shall be deposited in the general fund of the County, unless the County Board of Supervisors directs otherwise.

Section 6. Borrowed Money Fund. All monies received by the County upon the delivery of the Notes to the Underwriter, except for accrued interest and premium, if any, shall be deposited by the County Treasurer into a Borrowed Money Fund and such fund shall be maintained separate and distinct from all other funds of the County and shall be used for no purpose other than the purposes for which the Notes are issued. Monies in the Borrowed Money Fund may be temporarily invested as provided in Section 66.0603(1m), Wis. Stats. In no event shall monies in the Borrowed Money Fund be used to fund operating expenses of the general fund of the County or of any special revenue fund of the County that is supported by property taxes. Any monies, including any income from permitted investments, remaining in the Borrowed Money Fund after the purposes for which the Notes have been issued have been accomplished, and, at any time, any monies as are not needed and which obviously thereafter cannot be needed for such purposes shall be deposited in the Debt Service Account.

Section 7. No Arbitrage. All investments permitted by this Resolution shall be legal investments, but no such investment shall be made in such a manner as would cause the Notes to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or the Regulations of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue thereunder (the "Regulations"); and an officer of the County, charged with the responsibility for issuing the Notes, shall certify as to facts, estimates, circumstances and reasonable expectations in existence on the date of closing which will permit the conclusion that the Notes are not "arbitrage bonds," within the meaning of said Code or Regulations.

Section 8. Persons Treated as Owners; Transfer of Notes. The County Clerk shall keep books for the registration and for the transfer of the Notes. The person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and payment of either principal or interest on any Note shall be made only to the registered owner thereof. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

Any Note may be transferred by the registered owner thereof by surrender of the Note at the office of the County Clerk, duly endorsed for the transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such transfer, the Chairperson and County Clerk shall execute and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Note or Notes of a like aggregate principal amount, series and maturity, and the County Clerk shall record the name of each transferee in the registration book. No registration shall be made to bearer. The County Clerk shall cancel any Note surrendered for transfer.

The County shall cooperate in any such transfer, and the Chairperson and County Clerk are authorized to execute any new Note or Notes necessary to effect any such transfer.

The fifteenth day of each calendar month next preceding each interest payment date shall be the record dates for the Notes. Payment of interest on the Notes on any interest payment date shall be made to the registered owners of the Notes as they appear on the registration book of the County at the close of business on the corresponding record date.

Section 9. Compliance with Federal Tax Laws; Maintenance of Tax-Exempt Status. The County represents and covenants that the projects financed by the Notes and their ownership, management and use will not cause the Notes to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code. The County also represents and covenants that it will comply with the provisions of the Code (including restrictions on the purposes for which Note proceeds can be used, limitations on the investment of Note proceeds and the payment of any required rebates or penalties to the United States) to the extent necessary to maintain the tax-exempt status of the interest on the Notes. The County further covenants that it will not take any action, omit to take any action or permit the taking or omission of any action within its control (including, without limitation, making or permitting any use of the proceeds of the Notes) if taking, permitting or omitting to take such action would cause any of the Notes to be an arbitrage bond or a private activity bond within the meaning of the Code or would otherwise cause interest on the Notes to be included in the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes. The County Clerk or other officer of the County charged with the responsibility of issuing the Notes shall provide an appropriate certificate of the County certifying that the County can and covenanting that it will comply with the provisions of the Code and Regulations.

The County also covenants to use its best efforts to meet the requirements and restrictions of any different or additional federal legislation which may be made applicable to the Notes provided that in meeting such requirements the County will do so only to the extent consistent with the proceedings authorizing the Notes and the laws of Wisconsin, and to the extent that there is a reasonable period of time in which to comply.

The County acknowledges that, in the event of an examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") of the exemption from federal income taxation for interest paid on the Notes, it will be treated as the "taxpayer" in such examination and agrees that it will respond in a commercially reasonable manner to any inquiries from the Service in connection with such an examination.

Section 10. Designation as Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Notes shall be designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to the ability of financial institutions to deduct from income for federal income tax purposes, interest expense that is allocable to carrying and acquiring tax-exempt obligations, provided that, at the time of the sale of the Notes, the County intends to issue no more than $10,000,000 in tax-exempt obligations in calendar year 2001. The County's intent shall be stated in the resolution of the Budget Committee referred to in Section 14 of this Resolution and the designation of the Notes as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" shall be subject to confirmation by the Budget Committee in that resolution.

Section 11. Utilization of The Depository Trust Company Book-Entry-Only System. In order to make the Notes eligible for the services provided by The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, the County agrees to the applicable provisions set forth in the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations previously executed on behalf of the County and on file in the County Clerk's office.

Section 12. Payment of Issuance Expenses. The County authorizes the Underwriter to forward the amount of Note proceeds allocable to the payment of issuance expenses to Resource Bank & Trust Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota, on the closing date for further distribution as directed by the County's financial advisor, Ehlers & Associates, Inc.

Section 13. Records. The County Clerk shall provide and keep a separate record book and shall record a full and correct statement of every step or proceeding had or taken in the course of authorizing and issuing these Notes.

Section 14. Condition on Issuance and Sale of the Notes. The issuance of the Notes and the sale of the Notes to the Underwriter are subject to approval by the Budget Committee of the interest rates and purchase price for the Notes.

Section 15. Closing. The Chairperson and County Clerk are authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Notes to the Underwriter upon satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 14 of this Resolution. The Chairperson and County Clerk may execute the Notes by manual or facsimile signature, but at least one of said officers shall sign the Notes manually.

The officers of the County hereby are directed and authorized to take all necessary steps to close the note issue as soon as practicable hereafter, in accordance with the terms of sale thereof, and said officers are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver such documents, certificates and acknowledgments as may be necessary or convenient in accordance therewith.

COUNTRYSIDE HOME BUILDING PROJECT PLAN DEVELOPMENT

PROGRESS REPORT

The Countryside Home Board of Trustees met jointly with the County Budget Committee and the County Building & Insurance Committee on January 26, 2001, to share the report by Architecture 2000 for the Countryside Home building project and to provide an opportunity for dialog on the proposal.

The presentation of Architecture 2000 included:

• The architect's description and details of the conceptual design for the proposed new construction for relocation of 54 currently licensed beds and for the renovation of existing facility space to accomplish the objectives to improve the quality of life for the residents and to meet the health care needs of the changing population requiring nursing home services.

• The engineer's review of existing building and site conditions, ADA deficiencies and corrections, analysis of required life safety systems and other physical plant and mechanical systems, and discussion of the priorities of upgrades recommended, several of which will need to be addressed if no other construction or renovation is approved.

• Review of cost estimates for the proposed building project, options and opportunities to further reduce the final project budget, and the advantages/disadvantages of funding a complete and comprehensive building program compared to an approach of segmenting the various components of the project to accomplish the facility's strategic plan objectives.

Discussion following presentation of the Architecture 2000 study report covered many topics of needs, issues, and concerns. This discussion was constructive and productive in sharing of information and identifying the decisions that will need to be made and potential consequences of those decisions.

Based on the discussion and response of those participating in the January 26, 2001, meeting, the Countryside Trustees have drawn several conclusions and to further develop the proposal for the Countryside Home building project, the Trustees will:

1) include study of the relationship of an appropriate licensed bed capacity to the availability of direct care staff as a potential opportunity to further scale down the scope of the project proposal;

2) consider the possibility and procedures necessary for including the final building project proposal as part of the 2002 County Budget process rather than as a stand-alone proposal;

3) make efforts to ensure that county board supervisors and constituents understand that the cost of financing and debt repayment is classified as debt levy and thus is not included in the county's annual operating tax levy and is not subject to the operating tax levy limit set by the state;

4) evaluate the feasibility and financial effects of spreading the bonding to fund the project on a schedule corresponding to the anticipated construction phases as an option to obtain financing for the entire project; and

5) obtain an updated financial consultant's analysis for the county including financing costs, estimated annual debt levy for repayment, and increase in operating revenues from state Medical Assistance Program reimbursement for capital investment and financing costs.

County Board Supervisors are encouraged to read the article reporting on the January 26 joint meeting of the Trustees, Budget and Building & Insurance committees printed in the January 29, 2001, Daily Jefferson County Union "Countryside's Future Unsure", and the July 2000 Wisconsin Counties Magazine article "Three Choices for County Homes: ". Copies will be distributed for your convenience.

Respectfully submitted,

Countryside Home Board of Trustees

Jefferson County Environmental Health Consortium

Proposal for Agent Status

February 2001

Report

In 1995, Jefferson County Health Department and the City of Watertown Department of Public Health joined together to form the Jefferson County Environmental Health Consortium. In 1998, the consortium was expanded to include Jefferson County, the City of Watertown, Green County and lead inspections for Walworth County. The purpose of the consortium was to combine all environmental health funds and grants to hire a full-time environmental health specialist to address the environmental health needs of Jefferson County, Green County and the City of Watertown. A total of 475 contacts were made in 1998, 752 in 1999 and 883 in 2000 for Jefferson County (outside of the City of Watertown). The Jefferson County Health Department was also successful in passing a comprehensive Human Health Hazard Ordinance in 1999.

Throughout the years, Jefferson County Health Department has identified an increase in the number of complaints involving restaurants, fairs, swimming pools and whirlpools. It is the consensus of the Jefferson County Board of Health that these issues need to be addressed at the local level in order to protect the health of the public. This can be achieved through establishing a program where the local health department becomes an "Agent of the State." This fits with the mission of the Jefferson County Health Department which is "the primary prevention of premature death and disability of all Jefferson County residents and assuring the conditions under which people can be healthy."

As an Agent of the State, the Jefferson County Environmental Health Consortium would be responsible for the inspection, licensing, education and complaint follow-up for all licensed establishments in Jefferson County and the City of Watertown. This includes restaurants, motels, swimming pools, whirlpools, bed and breakfasts and campgrounds. At the present time these establishments are inspected and licensed by the State of Wisconsin Division of Public Health. A registered sanitarian, hired by the State, is responsible for Jefferson County, Dodge County, and the City of Lodi in Columbia County. Another state registered sanitarian covers the City of Watertown, Adams and Columbia counties. Due to the large area and number of establishments the state registered sanitarian is unable to complete yearly inspections of restaurants, with some going as long as 18 months to 2 years between inspections.

Over the last two years the Health Department has seen an increase in complaints and outbreaks related to licensed establishments including a number of people becoming ill. A local outdoor swimming pool had problems with proper sanitation that resulted in an outbreak of cryptosporidium. The swimming pool had been operating for over a month without a state inspection. The state registered sanitarian conducted the annual inspection on the same day as the inspection for the crypto outbreak. This resulted in the swimming pool being closed for days. A prompt inspection before the swimming pool opened to the public could have prevented this outbreak. An outbreak of Pontiac fever involved a group of people who were exposed to the bacteria at a local motel whirlpool which lacked any disinfectant. The motel was a known problem to the state registered sanitarian, but due to workload, she was unable to return for a re-inspection in a timely manner.

The Health Department recently completed an investigation of a calicivirus outbreak involving a local restaurant. Immediate local health department action prevented more people from being exposed to the virus in the food that caused the illness.

If Jefferson County were to become an Agent of the State the consortium would cover ONLY Jefferson County and the City of Watertown. In addition, another environmental health specialist would be hired to cover all job duties. All licensed establishments would receive an ANNUAL inspection at a minimum. In addition to inspections, both local sanitarians would be available to establishments for questions and staff training. Complaints would be promptly investigated.

Financing for the two sanitarians and a half-time clerical support position would be completely covered through revenues generated through the license fees in addition to the current budget. The agent program would be totally funded through license fees. The City of Watertown would be the fiscal agent and employer of all staff. Because the agent program would be self-supporting, no county or city tax dollars would be needed.

The Jefferson County Board of Health has discussed the agent program in the past year and has passed a motion supporting the program. The Watertown City Council has approved the consortium becoming and Agent of the State contingent on approval by the Jefferson County Board. If approved, the Jefferson County Board will need to adopt by reference the administrative rules that cover the agent program which includes HSS 172 (public pools), HSS 173 (tattooing/body piercing), HSS 175 (recreational education camps), HSS 178 (campgrounds), HSS 195 (hotels/motels), HSS 196 (restaurants), HSS 197 (bed and breakfast), and HSS 198 (vending food).

2282A-01, 2283A-01, 2267A-00, 2270A-00, 2279A-00, 2288A-01, 2289A-01, 2291A-01, 2292A-01

and 2293a-01

DENIAL OF PETITIONS

2246A-00, 2265A-00, 2285A-01 AND 2290A-01

Petition 2246A-00 was filed by Ed Hamm to create three lots along Pine Drive in the Town of Palmyra. This is recommended for denial because the soils at the sites are considered prime for agricultural use, and, under that circumstance, available acreage allows for only one lot to be created.

Petition 2265A-00 was a request by Jeff Winn for three, 2-acre residential building sites and a 61-acre Natural Resource zone along Twinkling Star Road in the Town of Koshkonong. The sites are in Zone 1 of a DNR designated "special well casing area;" until such time as the DNR can provide new information better establishing that contaminants will not enter the water supply, the Committee recommends denial of the rezoning.

With Petition 2285A-01 Mary Kazi requested a 1.5-acre lot along Springer Road, Town of Waterloo. This is recommended for denial because of its placement in the middle of the property, not clustered with other development.

Petition 2290A-01 was filed by Richard Stolp to create a building site on Brown Lane in the Town of Lake Mills. This is recommended for denial because the access is proposed over lands with 20% and greater slopes, thereby potentially negatively impacting the environmental corridor.

DATED THIS SIXTH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2001
