County Clerk Barbara A. Frank read a communication from the State Historical Society of Wisconsin advising that the City of Jefferson Main Street Historic District located in the City of Jefferson, Jefferson County, Wisconsin was named to the State Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places as of January 7, 1998.

The communication was ordered received and placed on file.

County Clerk Frank read a letter from Chief Deputy Sullivan on behalf of Sheriff Orval Quamme reporting that in compliance with Jefferson County Board Resolution 97-74, five full-size 1998 Crown Victorias were purchased by the Sheriff's Department through the State Bid from Capitol Ford of Madison.

County Clerk Barbara A. Frank presented the annual report for her department:

TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, WISCONSIN

Members of the Board:

This past year in the County Clerk's Office there have been some major changes. With the death of Barb Geyer, I assumed the role of Chief Deputy Clerk until you, the County Board, appointed me in February to fulfill the remaining term. With my appointment being approved, it left the Accounting Coordinator position in the office open. After interviewing several candidates, we hired Diane Gard, who formerly worked at Human Services.

In April we had a successful election using the Optic III voting equipment. My staff was trained how to set up the memory packs, saving the County valuable time and money. There were no other elections that year. Currently we will be having four elections in 1998, Spring Primary, April Election, September Primary and the Fall Election, which will include the Governor and County Offices.

In May we hired Kay Holm to replace Mary Jurczyk who took a position at Human Services.

After two years of preparation which included developing a new chart of accounts for all departments, many hours of training and much aggravation, it all came together in June. We began the parallel run on the AS400 program with Accounts Payable and Payroll in June. In July the conversion took place; with my staff and the staff from ICC, any problems were solved relatively easily.

We purchased an additional printer in fall and we are now printing our AP checks and Payroll checks on a new laser printer, dedicated for check printing only. This was one item that Barb Geyer was planning to pursue in 1997 and we managed to continue with this request.

Our office handled Payroll in the amount of $22,059,440 and Accounts Payable in the amount of $43,812,397. A total of 20,938 checks were printed for Payroll and 17,354 checks were printed for Accounts Payable. The 1998 Budget reports were created and we are currently doing our first annual close on the new system.

My staff consists of: Diane Gard, Janet Branish, Cindy Gehri, Nancy Zastrow and Kay Holm, with some part-time help from Rita Baumann and Marian Pohlman.

I would like to thank you for entrusting me with this appointment. This last year has been a definite challenge. Thank you for your patience during my learning process.

I hereby respectfully submit the report of receipts pertaining to marriage licenses and game fees in the office of the County Clerk from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997 as follows:

Mrs. Schwoch moved that the County Clerk's annual report be accepted, placed on file, and printed in the minutes. Seconded and carried.

Ms. Gail Zastrow, Administrative Clerk for the Fair, presented the annual report for the Jefferson County Fair.

JEFFERSON COUNTY FAIR

1997 YEAR END

After two years of study, the Fair Committee recently completed a comprehensive Fair Park Master Plan. The objectives of the plan are as follows:

1) Accommodate the changes made necessary by the extension of Jackson Avenue through the east portion of the Fair Park, including reestablishment of entrances and the replacement of exhibit space in east side buildings which were orphaned by this development.

2) Improve the layout of the Fair Park to address safety concerns and enhance vehicular and pedestrian circulation.

3) Design a comprehensive overhaul of the utilities infrastructure to address numerous safety and service failures which exist in present systems.

4) Enhance the marketability of this year-round facility by identifying an appropriate niche market (horse and other livestock shows) and then incorporating elements into the plan which would reasonably service that market while reinforcing the utility of this site for our present users (motorsports, car shows, festivals, flea markets and trade shows, etc.). The overall objective in this exercise was to identify "value added" investments which might be made to the facility which would eliminate the annual tax levy now assessed for operations costs by reasonably assuring annual revenues would exceed expenditures.

5) More fully incorporate north parking lot into the site to facilitate off-site parking.

6) Generally enhance the aesthetics of the Fair Park and otherwise make the facility more "user friendly".

Initial "Fast Track" planning and construction was performed in 1997 to make this site useable for the annual County Fair subsequent to Jackson Avenue development. This would not have been possible without the great concern and diligence the County Highway Department brought to this project, and their efforts are greatly appreciated.

1997 County Fair: Change in the Weather

The annual County Fair was marked by change. The relocation of exhibitors from the east side to the west was remarkably successful. Our superintendents were presented with an enormous challenge in this regard, and their enthusiastic response produced results far greater than could reasonably be expected.

This relocation and loss of square footage for exhibits created unavoidable conflicts and problems for exhibitors, both in housing their exhibits and in scheduling their shows. Some consternation was noted and complaints were registered. Overall, however, the degree of cooperation was extraordinary and was offered within the context of "growing pains". Things WILL get better, and everyone looks forward to the ongoing improvements to the Fair Park.

Annual attendance at the Fair (about 31,000) was far less than previous years. Tornado warnings on Friday evening and torrential wind and rain on Saturday virtually eliminated the two top revenue-producing days of the Fair. In addition, the safety concerns raised by the resultant standing water and the failures in electrical systems reinforces the need for major improvements. (NOTE: Special thanks to Generac for providing an auxiliary generator on a moment's notice which was used to power nearly half the site during the Fair.) Daily attendance figures for Wednesday and Sunday were exceptionally high, showing that support of the Fair is increasing greatly under circumstances when weather is at all cooperative. All in all, we lost 2-1/2 days of the 5 days of the Fair.

The four Fairest of the Fair contestants were judged on Wednesday evening and Karen Kleckner, rural Watertown, was crowned 1997 Fairest of the Fair. She will participate in parades this Fall as well as next Spring and Summer. Karen was ill and not able to participate at the annual Wisconsin Association of Fairs convention in Milwaukee last month. We had businesses from throughout the County donate prizes, plus cash scholarships were awarded. Sadi Jo Meidl and Jennnifer Haberman, 1996 and 1995 Fairests as well as Paul Essock made this program a success.

In 1998 the Fair Committee looks forward to working closely with the County Board to secure funding of "Stage One" in Fair Park improvements. The newly completed master plan will serve as an efficient guide to make necessary improvements which will enhance the safety and enjoyment of our many users. In addition to serving the projected needs of our constituents for the next twenty-plus years, this improved Fair Park facility will reflect greatly upon the people of Jefferson County. For nearly 150 years we've provided our constituents with "The Fair Which Always Pleases!" Inasmuch as the Fair Park site is now used nearly 365 days a year, it is important that we now take steps to ensure that it remains a safe and pleasurable facility for the generations to follow.

INITIAL RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING GENERAL OBLIGATION

PROMISSORY NOTES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $2,780,000.

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 improving and remodeling structures and facilities at the Jefferson County Fair Grounds; site improvements; constructing and improving roads, parking lots and utilities and acquiring equipment (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 66.77(1)(b) 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 11.36% 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 project 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 $2,780,000 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 66.77(1)(b) 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 TWO MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,780,000) from a purchaser to be determined by subsequent resolution of the Board of Supervisors and that there be issued general obligation promissory notes in an amount not to exceed $2,780,000 therefor.

Section 3. Notice. Pursuant to Wis. Admin. Code § Tax 21.06, the County Clerk is directed to send to the Department of Revenue a copy of this resolution and all supporting documentation appended thereto together with the voting results thereon and a completed county tax levy rate limit reporting form within ten business days of the adoption hereof together with any other information requested by the Department of Revenue.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Human Services Department shall monthly provide the Circuit Courts with a statement showing expenditure of funds for the above dispositions, such that the Courts may monitor the cost/benefit of these placement options.

(Fiscal Note: The average cost for secure detention is about $150 per day which is not reimbursed to the County. For inpatient alcohol or other drug assessment the cost would be $166 per day which would probably be funded by Medical Assistance. Inpatient mental health commitments at Mendota are usually funded by Medical Assistance. In the alternative, other mental health placements could run $400-$500 per day which may or may not be funded by Medical Assistance.)

Mr. Kovnesky moved that Resolution No. 97-100 be adopted. Seconded.

Mr. Foskett read the following statement:

The resolution to allow Juvenile Court dispositions of secure (locked) custody and inpatient hospitalizations has been under discussion by the Jefferson County Delinquency Prevention Board for the greater part of the past year. The use of these dispositions for juveniles is seen as another option which can be useful to some delinquent youth in certain situations. We do not feel that these dispositions by themselves will result in major changes in reducing delinquency overall. Rather, the hope is that when used in conjunction with other dispositions, school and community programming, positive results can be obtained. The Delinquency Prevention Board has been working for the past two years to improve delinquency programming by promoting a system which focuses on prevention overall. For youth who enter the delinquency system the focus should be on holding youth accountable, assisting youth to be competent members of the community, and protecting the community. In order to successfully do this we believe that delinquency programs need to involve all parts of the community, legal system, enforcement, helping agencies, schools, etc. Additionally, we believe our programs, services, consequences, etc., should be based within our own county and communities.

The resolution to authorize secure custody is a concern to our Policy Board because it will require that Jefferson County youth be transported to other counties to serve their dispositional orders for secure custody. Counties which we have used for secure custody include Rock, Waukesha, LaCrosse, Winnebago, and at times Dane. When youth are housed in other counties we are not readily able to see them, or work with them and their families during this important time.

For this reason, as well as the significant costs potentially involved, we believe we need to continue to examine other ways of providing secure custody when needed within Jefferson County. Alternatives which have been discussed have included use of our current adult jail and constructing a specific facility within Jefferson County. Both of these suggestions have met with many concerns since each will involve costs and/or significant changes to current operations. It is however the request of the Delinquency Policy Board that a study committee be formed to investigate all possibilities and develop recommendations. These should be done within the context of the work the Delinquency Policy Board is doing so that we continue to promote and plan for effective programs which prevent and reduce delinquency while strengthening families and promotion of total community involvement.

Chief Deputy Michael Sullivan addressed the Board, explaining why juveniles cannot be housed in the Jefferson County Jail.

Human Services Department Director Thomas Schleitwiler addressed the Board, explaining that this resolution would authorize detention after the hearing.

Discussion by Board members followed.

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 November 18, 1997 and January 15, 1998 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 1956A-98, 1957A-98, 1958A-98,

1959A-98, 1849A-96-97M, 1881A-97-98M, 1960A-98,

1963A-98, 1965A-98 AND 1967A-98

DENIAL OF PETITIONS 1962A-98, 1964A-98 AND 1966A-98

Petition 1962A-98 was filed by John Franz to create three rural residential lots along Hustisford Road in the Town of Ixonia. This is recommended for denial due to the prevalence of prime agricultural soils on the site.

Likewise, Petition 1964A-98 is recommended for denial based upon the prevalence of prime agricultural soils. This request was filed by Lauersdorf Farms to create a new residential building site on North Road in the Town of Ixonia.

Petition 1966A-98, filed by Duane Wray Bower to create a new residential building site on Pioneer Road, is also recommended for denial, due in part to the Town of Concord's objection and because of the prevalence of prime agricultural soils on the site.

In each instance, an approval would be contrary to the goals and objectives of the Jefferson County Zoning Ordinance, the Jefferson County Agricultural Preservation Plan, and Chapter 91 of State Statutes.

Dated this Third Day of February, 1998
