OFFICE OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY
1996 ANNUAL REPORT
I. INTRODUCTION
This Annual Report is designed to provide a concise overview of the operations at the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office. You will find within an analysis of the personnel and structure of the office, some salient case statistics and finally some items of personal interest.
During 1996 the District Attorney's Office was still under the capable leadership of District Attorney Linda Larson. District Attorney Larson was provided support by four assistants who, under the state personnel guidelines constitute 3.8 full time equivalent. Assistant District Attorneys David Wambach, Michael Schaefer and Tris Baker were the three full time equivalent positions and Assistant District Attorney H. Elizabeth Kennebeck occupied the .8 full time equivalent position. The full time Victim Witness Program and part time First Offender Programs were staffed under the continuing direction of Laura Rohland and Jennifer Stahr, respectively. During 1996 the District Attorney's Office had the good fortune to retain, intact, the dedicated service of Rhonda Rohloff, Office Manager; Carla Robinson, Paralegal; Alice Wolfgram, Receptionist; as well as Jean Camacho, Kathy Hembrook, Deb Stone and Pam Fromader as Legal Secretaries.

III. NEWS AND DEVELOPMENTS
District Attorney Linda Larson chose not to have her name placed on the ballot for a successive term as District Attorney. Assistant District Attorney David Wambach ran unopposed for the position of District Attorney and became the District Attorney elect of Jefferson County. Jennifer Stahr, while coordinating the First Offender Program, had been continuously working toward a Bachelor's Degree and completed that program by graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater with a degree in Social Work. During 1996 the District Attorney's Office filed and successfully pursued, through the new-found expertise of Assistant District Attorney Schaefer, several of the newly created Sexual Predator actions. Finally, the post-conviction activities in the homicide convictions of Michael Maldonado and Diane Borchardt, came to a conclusion with presiding Judge Jacqueline Erwin and the Hon. John Ullsvik denying all of the post-conviction motions and upholding the convictions.
Mr. Foskett moved that the report be accepted, placed on file, and printed in the minutes. Seconded and carried.
The annual report of the Jefferson County Land Information Office for 1996 was presented by Andrew J. Erdman, Department Head.
TO: THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WISCONSIN
LAND INFORMATION PROGRAM
Implementation of the Jefferson County Land Records Modernization Plan continued during 1996. The following modernization projects were advanced:
A contract for installation of a document imaging system in the Register of Deeds office was authorized by the County Board in September of 1996. The imaging system is scheduled to be fully operational in mid 1997.
A cooperative effort with the County's planning consultant (Discovery Group, LTD) to produce a land use inventory was undertaken. A land use inventory was needed to support the Jefferson County Plan 2020 process. Digital ortho photography was taken in April of 1996 to expedite identification of land uses throughout the County on the Geographic Information System. Several other Land Information layers such as parcel, zoning, wetlands and soils mapping are being utilized during the planning process.
A new tax and assessment system was installed on the ICC Data Processing AS400 main frame in September. The new programs allow query ownership records by name, site address or parcel number. These capabilities have greatly enhanced our ability to answer both inter-departmental and public inquiries.
The County has pooled resources with six other counties, GeoAnalytics, Inc. (consulting firm), and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Land Information and Computer Graphics Facility to develop Public Access Interface to Geographic Information. Our initial use for the Public Access Interface will be to improve the ability of County staff to use digital map data that includes: parcel, zoning, soils, land use and aerial photography.
GRANT AWARD
Jefferson County was awarded a $71,250 Grant award in November of 1996. The project entails document imaging of various land records maintained in the Land Information, County Surveyor, Register of Deeds, Treasurer and Zoning Departments.
LAND INFORMATION PROGRAM REVENUE
The table below shows program revenues from inception on July 1, 1990. The funding is derived from a portion of the Register of Deeds recording fees.

Thomas Wollin, County Surveyor, presented the annual report for his office.
TO: THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WISCONSIN
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD:
During the year 1996 property line surveys were done for the Flood Mitigation Program administered by the Emergency Government and Parks Department. The property surveys were for demolition of houses and cottages purchased by the County along Blackhawk Island Road.
Also a title survey was done for the County purchase of the telephone maintenance building on C.T.H. "N" in the Town of Koshkonong.
Another survey project involved resetting of property stakes along Marietta Avenue in the Town of Ixonia after the Avenue was rebuilt. The problem of property stakes that are removed when roads are widened is a growing one. The State Statutes lay the responsibility for perpetuation of landmarks on the counties in Chapter 59-635. Iron property stakes set in plats of survey, certified surveys and subdivision plats are considered landmarks and protected by law against unauthorized removal. In Jefferson County I have been resetting the stakes when informed by the County Highway Department and this has not been a problem so far; however, some counties have experienced unplanned for costs when roads are widened next to existing subdivision plats and literally hundreds of stakes are removed. The Wisconsin County Surveyors Association is currently working with the Wisconsin County Highway Association to support legislation allowing counties to charge the State for the cost of perpetuation of the landmarks as part of road projects. An example of the resolution is attached.
Also during 1996 private land surveying continues at a brisk pace with 140 Plats of Survey, 196 Certified Surveys, and 8 Subdivision Plats recorded. The establishment and maintenance of the section corner grid system is a major factor in seeing that work performed by public and private land surveyors fits together and that the same starting points are used by all.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas Wollin
County Surveyor
Mr. Lehmann moved that the report be accepted, placed on file, and printed in the minutes. Seconded and carried.
Chairman Wilson referred to the Legislation and Rules Committee the resolution from the Wisconsin County Surveyors Association and the Wisconsin County Highway Association.
Tom Schleitwiler, Director of the Human Services Department, presented the 1996 annual report of the Department.
TO: THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WISCONSIN
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD:
RESOURCE ASSISTANCE
The Resource Assistance programs are currently undergoing dramatic changes. As most readers are probably aware, the AFDC Program will be replaced by the Wisconsin Works (W-2) Program in September 1997.
Sharp declines occurred in our public assistance programs when comparing 1995 to 1996. AFDC declined by 100 families in an average month and County General Relief declined from 16 people in an average month to 3. Probably the most significant factor associated with these changes has been a very healthy County economy with an abundance of jobs. Unemployment in the County ranged from 2-3% during 1996. The other significant factor in welfare reduction has been our successful use of Financial and Employment Planners. Since these positions were established approximately 240 applications for public assistance were taken by these planners. All of these persons were diverted from public assistance and placed into full or part-time employment. This level of placement success is unprecedented in our work in this area.
We are most fortunate in Jefferson County that the St. Vincent de Paul Society has continued to provide funds for general relief shelter and other housing and personal needs. During 1996 the Society provided $27,000 for general assistance to 142 persons.
JOBS PROGRAM
The Jobs Program was administered by the Job Service for Jefferson and Dodge counties. In program year 1996 orientation/assessment services were provided to approximately 140 clients in Jefferson County. At the close of the program year 150 AFDC recipients from Jefferson County entered full and part-time employments. Training programs, post high school, were provided for 15 persons and 9 persons received remedial education. Average wages attained at JOB placements was $6.80/hour, full-time, and $5.90/hour, part-time. This is a .50 increase in both categories over 1995 wages.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
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; and sheltered employment.
CHILD ABUSE
Total Contact Records for 1996 were 4334 which is a decrease of 373 contacts when comparing 1995 figures.
The total number of founded (proven) cases of abuse and neglect has remained very consistent over the years. Within the total numbers, however, there has been some variation. Proven sexual abuse has fallen from a high of 165 cases in 1993 to 96 in 1996. Lack of supervision doubled between 1995 and 1996 (30 cases to 60), as did physical neglect which increased from 12 cases in 1995 to 30 in 1996.
CLIENT SERVICES PROVIDED
During an average month in 1996, 2052 persons were enrolled as active clients. Of these, 1083 received some sort of service in an average month. A total of 3719 different persons received some services during the year. This is a decrease of 187 persons from 1995.
In an average month 1083 persons received services, which is similar to 1995, 1069. Some slight changes from 1996 included small increases in: abused children and their families; intoxicated drivers; perpetrators of abuse and neglect. Referrals to an Infant Development Program rose moderately after a much larger increase in 1995. Small decreases were seen in sexually abused children, although this remains the most common type of abuse we see, and in parent/child conflicts.
FAMILY PROBLEMS AND YOUTH DELINQUENCY
Delinquency among our youth is and has been a growing concern, not only in Jefferson County but for the State and nation as a whole.
During 1996, 430 different individuals were referred for a total of 1062 offenses. When comparing 1995 and 1996 the figures show a decrease of 32 individuals and a decrease of 48 offenses.
Crimes of greatest concern, burglary, battery, sex offenses, operating a motor vehicle without owner's consent, weapon related, robbery, bodily harm to a child, arson, and exposing a child to harmful materials, represented 28% of the total offenses. This is a 1% increase over 1995; however, some fluctuations were seen within categories. Burglary and robbery dropped significantly, while operating without owner's consent and arson increased significantly.
Crimes committed against personal security, battery, sex offenses, robbery, bodily harm to a child, arson and exposing a child to harmful materials represent 11% of the total. This is the same as 1995. Violent offenses, murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, have traditionally been less than 1% of total referrals. This is again similar to 1995; however, theft referrals decreased significantly, 28%, while disorderly conduct and truancy increased significantly, 25% and 29% respectively.
Property offenses, theft, disorderly conduct, and truancy represent 51% of the total charges.
Drug offenses decreased significantly, 42% from 1995. These offenses represent 6% of the total.
LONG TERM SUPPORT PROGRAMS
The overall use of Long Term Support Programs has steadily increased over the years. During 1996, 243 elderly and disabled persons received funding and services.
MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE
Operating revenues show a position budget variance of $212,670 for 1996. The largest variances are a positive $68,417 in provided services fee collections, and a positive $55,247 in general relief funds.
Operating expenditures also show a positive budget variance for 1996 of $271,981.
The largest positive variances include:
Child Alternate Care
(+$153,241, after budget revision and allocation)
Community Care
(+$122,717) and
General Relief
(+$101,506).
The largest negative variance is in the other contracted category where expenditures were incurred for specific new funding sources during the year, specifically the:
"Family Preservation" program
($50,198) and
"Community Support" program
($23,453).
A net surplus of $484,651 resulted from Department operations for 1996, which will be carried forward to the 1998 budget year.
Mr. Foskett moved that the report be accepted, placed on file, and portions printed in the minutes. Seconded and carried.
As a Special Order of Business, Mr. Glen Lewinski, Community Development Block Grant Coordinator for Waukesha County, and Mr. Scott Fergus, Executive Director of Community Housing Initiative (a Waukesha County non-profit housing development organization), presented a short program on a proposed HOME Consortium consisting of Jefferson, Washington, Ozaukee, and Waukesha counties. This Consortium would work together on housing related activities and would receive an annual allocation directly from HUD instead of having to compete with other areas for HOME funds administered by the State of Wisconsin.
Chairman Wilson referred this matter to the Building and Insurance Committee for further study.
Mr. Buchanan read Resolution No. 97-18.
WHEREAS, on May 2, 1997, Jefferson County received a notice of claim from Ronald Wisniewski, 2925 Columbia Drive, Portage, Wisconsin, for $50,000 compensatory and punitive damages based on an alleged assault by another inmate and improper treatment and conditions during the claimant's period of incarceration in the Jefferson County Jail,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors hereby disallows said claim and directs the Corporation Counsel to give notice of said disallowance.
Mr. Buchanan moved that Resolution No. 97-18 be adopted. Seconded and carried.

Noes: 0.

Mr. Foskett read Resolution No. 97-20.
WHEREAS, the federal and state governments are planning profound and massive changes in the methods of financing and providing long-term care in Wisconsin; and
WHEREAS, Wisconsin's long-term care delivery system encumbers more than one billion federal, state and local taxpayer dollars; and
WHEREAS, such changes will directly affect the care provided to Jefferson County's elderly, disabled and other persons who receive care from nursing homes, community-based residential facilities, in-home care and similar situations; and
WHEREAS, the proposed changes will have significant tax and budgetary implications for the citizens and governments of Wisconsin's counties; and
WHEREAS, the bulk of the proposed changes will be developed by federal and state administrative bureaus, subject to after-the-fact legislative oversight;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors that the Board urges that counties and their related associations be included as full partners in shaping the proposed changes in the long-term care financing and delivery systems;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board urges all of Wisconsin's counties to vigilantly monitor this change process;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent by the County Clerk to all Jefferson County State Senators, State Representatives, the Wisconsin Counties Association, the National Association of Counties, Jefferson County's Federal Representatives, and all County Clerks in the State.
Mr. Foskett moved that Resolution No. 97-20 be adopted. Seconded and carried.
Mr. Kovnesky read the following Law Enforcement Committee Report:
Included in the agenda is an update of Jefferson County's ordinance covering several offenses which have statutory counterparts. The Statutes make most of these offenses criminal misdemeanors. There are occasions when the District Attorney's Office wishes to process the matter as an ordinance violation instead of a criminal prosecution. There are also situations such as trespass to land and dogs running at large for which the Sheriff's Department can simply issue a citation at the time of the offense, rather than have the District Attorney's Office prepare long form complaints. Use of a citation is far more efficient for all concerned.
The trespass section has been updated to conform to current state law. The dollar amounts concerning theft and worthless check offenses have been increased to conform to current state law. The section regarding dogs running at large and possession, use or sale of fireworks have been added at the request of the Sheriff's Department.
We respectfully request passage of the updated ordinance.

Mr. Lehmann read Report No. 3 of the Zoning Committee.
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 February 20, March 20 and May 15, 1997 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 1889A-97, 1872A-97, 891-86-97M, 1583A-94-96M,
1874A-97, 1876A-97, 1890A-97, 1897A-97 AND 1901A-97
DENIAL OF PETITIONS 1892A-97, 1893A-97, 1894A-97, 1895A-97,
1898A-97,1899A-97, 1902A-97 AND 1904A-97
Petition 1892A-97 was filed by Dick Weber to create a lot on CTH Y for mini-warehousing. This request is recommended for denial due to the prevalence of prime agricultural soils and due to the Town of Farmington's veto.
William Hertel requested rezoning of property along High Road in the Town of Watertown to create three new residential building sites and to add land to an adjoining property. This petition, 1893A-97, is also recommended for denial due to the prevalence of prime agricultural soils on site.
Likewise, David and Elaine Kravitz petitioned for rezoning of ten acres owned by Edna Herold on Horseshoe Road, Town of Watertown. Prime agricultural soils and low tree density combined to draw a recommendation for denial on Petition 1894A-97.
Ray Janusz requested rezoning of 2.1 acres on CTH CI in the Town of Sullivan. The Committee is recommending denial of Petition 1895A-97 because a part of that acreage is comprised of prime agricultural soils, and because the site has a crop history.
Roger Schroeder petitioned for 5 acres in the Town of Oakland on Rockdale Road to be rezoned from A-1 to A-3. This is also recommended for denial due to the prime agricultural land between the road and buildings in Petition 1898A-97.
Petition 1899A-97 was a request by Steve Vogel to rezone 8.6 acres along Church Road in the Town of Milford. This, too, is recommended for denial because of the underlying prime ag soils and low tree density on the site.
Prime agricultural soils was again the determining factor in a recommendation of denial for Petition 1902A-97. This petition was filed by Lauersdorf Farms to create a 4.59 acre residential building site on North Road in the Town of Ixonia.
Lonnie Meyers requested rezoning of 2.67 acres along Mansfield Road in the Town of Aztalan with Petition 1904A-97. This is recommended for denial due to the prevalence of prime agricultural soils on the site.
In each of these instances, an approval for rezoning in prime agricultural soils would be contrary to the goals and objectives of the Jefferson County Agricultural Preservation Plan, the Jefferson County Zoning Ordinance and Chapter 91 of State Statutes.
Dated this Third Day of June, 1997
