2008 Budget Survey Update & Executive Committee Budget Recommendation – Chairperson Brooks presented the results of the 2008 Budget Survey. The County Board Members who responded to the survey were nearly divided in half on a budget recommendation that is equal to or less than the 2007 budget or increases the tax level to the new construction limits. Chairperson Brooks recommended that the Committee consider a budget directive that is less than the new construction limits, [property tax levy generated by the countywide value of new construction] without the application of departmental reserves. Further stating that departmental reserves should not be applied to ongoing operational expenses; a more appropriate use for the use of reserves is for capital or one time expenses. Committee discussion on new construction levy limits, long term fiscal planning and stability, and ensuring that departmental reserves do not artificially subsidize operational expenses. Motion made by Supervisor Klemz to recommend that the 2008 budget tax levy increase be limited to new construction, and that the application of departmental reserves be used to fund one time expenses. Motion failed for lack of second. Motion made by Supervisor Cronce that the 2008 property tax levy be equal to 2007 and the use of reserves be limited to fund one time expenses, seconded by Supervisor Klemz. Supervisor Cronce stated that the goal should be to set a low target, as eventually the County will need to make tough budgetary and financial decisions to continue funding for our mandated programs. This goal will compel departments and their oversight Committees to have these discussions and plan operations. Chairperson Brooks stated that the County Administrator historically hits the target provided by the Committee. Supervisor Wirth stated that as the members of the Executive Committee and Chairpersons of the Standing Committees all members are personally responsible to bring in a budget that meets the directive. Motion carried (6-0).

Adjournment - Motion made by Supervisor Klemz to adjourn, seconded by Supervisor Cronce. Motion carried (5-0). Meeting adjourned at 8:40 AM

Supervisor Sopko stated that he cannot support the resolution as presented as it does not meet the will of the voters who supported the referendum urging the ‘study and implementation of reasonable term limits.’ Supervisor Wirth disagreed stating that the resolution does satisfy the question posed by the referendum, in that, the Board has studied the issue of term limits and the outcome of the analysis is that term limits are not necessary. Supervisor Erickson stated that the voters expressed their desire to implement term limits, and that the Board should implement the will of the public, not the desire of the Board not to approve term limits. Supervisor Kaul stated that approximately 15 members of the Current Board would be impacted by the implementation of term limits, and he will not support term limits because the impact of that would be significant to the board membership. Supervisor Dean stated that the Board is elected to lead, his support of the resolution as presented is due to the fact that it demonstrates that the Board listened to the public to study the term limits issue, and the analysis that resulted lead to this conclusion.

Chairman Brooks stated that the Committee should present a resolution to the full County Board, to satisfy the intent of the referendum. Further stating that, a resolution asserting that after study and consideration term-limits will not be implemented in Ozaukee County, would suffice.

The Executive Committee met in Room A-200 of the Administration Center at 12:12 P.M., following the County Board session.

The Executive Committee was called to order Chairperson Brooks.

Present: Supervisors Brooks, Cronce, Erickson, Leider, Hilber, Nelson, Kaul and Barrow, County Administrator Tom Meaux, Aging Services Director Sharon Gilman and Clerk Marchese.

Assurance that the Meeting had been Properly Noticed/Adoption of Agenda: Assurance that the meeting was properly noticed, so noted by Clerk Marchese. Motion made by Supervisor Cronce, seconded by Supervisor Hilber to approve the minutes as mailed. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (7-0)

Congregate Meal Program Registration Forms: The Chairperson deviated from the agenda to discuss Congregate Meal Program Registration forms. Supervisor Erickson and Ms. Gilman explained that the form has been revised and everyone attending the meal sites (as this is a federally funded program) needs to fill out the form on a yearly basis. This form is explained by the Meal Site Manager to all participants. Discussions regarding the revised form, some of the questions being asked, and if the Commission should reconsider revising it. Motion made by Supervisor Hilber, seconded by Supervisor Erickson, to do nothing at the present time and accept the form as revised. The vote was taken: Ayes 6 (Supervisors Brooks, Cronce, Erickson, Hilber, Nelson and Kaul), Nay - 1 (Supervisor Leider). The majority of the members present voting aye, the motion was declared adopted.

Aging Department Fund Balance: The Chairperson then took up the item of the Aging Department fund balance. Mr. Meaux explained that he met with department heads and is working on a policy for accounting of working reserves, some moves are not available as they are kept in a special account; and that as a result of this problem, a monthly report will be shown on all department balances that have a reserve fund.

Discussion of Consent Agendas: The Chairperson then presented the discussion of consent agendas, explaining that Committees and the County Board could use this procedure to designate a block of items on an agenda to be considered as a group. Individual Supervisors would have the right to ask that any single item be removed from the slated consent items. The Committee raised the concern that it would be difficult to determine in advance which items will generate no discussion and that items would have to be routinely removed from the consent agenda. The Committee consensus was to individually track agenda items at the Committee and County Board level that could be considered as consent items and revisit the item at a future meeting.

Citizen Appointee Recognition: The Committee addressed this item at the request of Supervisor Barrow. Supervisor Barrow raised the issue that the County does not recognize citizen committee members for their attendance or contributions. His suggestion was that the Committee contemplate the purchase of a plaques or similar item to recognize accomplishments. Supervisor Cronce mentioned that citizens could be provided a plaque at the end of their service and inquired about how often recognition should be given. Clerk Marchese informed the Committee that the County Board recognizes officials, employees, and citizen appointees who serve the County for over ten years, further stating that individual departments have individually recognized citizen appointees in the past. Committee consensus was to continue the current practice by which individual departments recognize citizen appointees.

Ad Hoc and Sub Committee Compensation: The Committee discussed the topic of compensating Ad Hoc or Sub Committee members. Under the Policy and Procedure Manual Standing Committees can create Ad Hoc or Sub Committees to address items of policy. The Policy and Procedure Manual does not provide for per diem or mileage payments to County Board members or citizens who volunteer to serve on Ad Hoc or Sub Committees. The County Board Chairperson can approve mileage claims on a case by case basis under current County Policy.

Citizen Appointee Attendance: The Chairperson addressed the committee explaining that a recent audit of citizen appointee attendance Committee meetings demonstrated that some individual appointees attendance rates fell well below 50 percent. The Committee discussed the creation of an attendance policy and directed staff to draft an amendment to the Policy and Procedure Manual which would remove appointees who were unexcused for two consecutive meeting or had attendance below 70 percent in a 12 month period.

Discussion of Potential Topics for the Policy Meeting of the County Board: Jason Dzwinel presented a proposed schedule of meeting for the County Board to address the proposed program evaluation/prioritization.

1/18/05 – Background/Examples of Prioritization

2/16/05 – Presentation from UWEX Local Government Center – Comparison of Ozaukee to Other Counties

3/15/05 – Developing the Ozaukee Process: Prioritization/Program Evaluation

4/5/05 – Finalizing Ozaukee Process: Prioritization/Program Evaluation

The Committee consensus was to move the March discussion to the February meeting to allow additional Executive Committee meetings and County Board time to discuss the process.

Discussion of Public Works Department: The Chairperson informed the Committee that discussion of the creation of a Public Works Department will be addressed by the Executive and Public Works Committees in the coming months. Administrator Meaux explained that the creation of a public works department will continue to build upon the County Board and Departmental reorganizations. The Chairperson will update the full County Board at a future meeting.

Motion made by Supervisor Nelson to adjourn, seconded by Supervisor Hass Leider. Motion carried and meeting adjourned at 1:40 PM.

Chairman Brooks explained that this meeting has historically been scheduled as the Highway Road Trip to present completed and upcoming construction projects/issues, but some Supervisors have requested that a tour of the County Parks be included. Supervisor Kaul suggested that the Parks have grown in importance, but a tour focusing on both might not be feasible or include enough detail on either subject to be worthwhile. He further suggested that the Public Works Committee would discuss the road trip at the August 4, 2005 meeting. Supervisor Hass Lieder suggested that the PRLM department should be included in a Parks Tour. Chairman Brooks proposed that a tour of the improvements at the Lion’s Den, as the property has generated interest in recent months. Supervisor Hilber offered that a presentation on the 2005 revenue for the Human Service Department might be included during lunch. Committee consensus was to allow Public Works Committee to discuss the road trip and plan for a Human Service presentation during lunch.

Distribution of County Code of Ethics Materials – Jason Dzwinel explained that the materials distributed are the result of the discussion at the June 15 Executive Committee meeting and staff research on the Code of Ethics.

The DRAFT has been sent to the Corporation Counsel to review and present a model at a future meeting.

Call to Order - Administrative Committee – Chairman Cronce called the Administrative Committee to order at 8:15 A.M.

Joint Discussion of County Board Compensation for the 2006-2007 Term – County Administrator Meaux presented to the Committees the results of a survey of Counties similar to Ozaukee County, the survey demonstrates that each County Board individually determines levels and types compensation. Motion made by Supervisor Barrow, seconded by Supervisor Dohrwardt, for a three percent increase in compensation per annum. Supervisor Barrow explained that this amount is close to the level historically approved in union contracts and budgets, and should be assumed as an annual increase for the County Board. Supervisor Hilber inquired if the intent of the motion was to provide annual increases perpetually, the Committee confirmed. He further suggested that the citizens should be made aware that level of compensation that Supervisors receive is currently set at $4,500 annually. Supervisor Kaul suggested that the past practice was to provide a similar increase to the County Board as those received by the unions and non-represented employees. Chairman Brooks suggested that a perpetual increase would ensure similar considerations for all County employees and could impact bargaining positions. Supervisor Becker stated that the Committee should not approve any salary increase to demonstrate fiscal restraint, Chairman Brooks agreed. Supervisor Hass Lieder said that a perpetual increase is not desirable, but the proposed three percent increase is appropriate. She further suggested that Supervisors who do not attend meetings should be penalized. Supervisor Barrow asked to amend his original motion to remove the perpetual increase and include a two-year increase at three percent per annum. Supervisor Dohrwardt, as the second to the original motion, agreed. Chairman Cronce suggested that the increase and compensation in general is immaterial as it does not represent the value of a Supervisors contribution, to that end he suggested that he could support an increase in compensation or keeping compensation at the same level. Chairman Brooks offered that any increase will impact the upcoming budget. Supervisor Erickson stated that the contract for Lasata was scrutinized for a one percent increase and any increase for County Board compensation will set precedence. Supervisor Nelson stated that the increase is fair and that the level of compensation neither motivates of deters individuals to seek office. Supervisor Kaul addressed the committee stating that he supports the increase, for the fact that the change from per diem to a flat salary represented a decrease in compensation for some Supervisors. Supervisor Dohrwardt offered a friendly amendment to Supervisor Barrow to eliminate the three percent increase and amend to provide for a $100 increase for 2006 and $100 for 2007. Further discussion, motion carried (7-4). Supervisors Hilber, Barrow, Davies, Nelson, Hass Lieder, Kaul, and Dohrwardt voting aye, Supervisors Brooks, Cronce, Erickson, and Becker voting nay.

Adjournment if Executive Committee – Motion made by Chairman Brooks, seconded by Supervisor Erickson, to adjourn the Executive Committee. All members present voting aye, motion carried.

Commendation Resolution No. 05-29 Nancy Lucas-Gierach – Motion made by Supervisor Dohrwardt, seconded by Supervisor Davies, to approve the Resolution as presented. All members present voting aye, motion carried.

Approval of Resolution No. 05-30 - Transfer of Funds – Motion made by Supervisor Barrow, seconded by Supervisor Becker, to approve the transfer of funds from the Jail Assessment fund. All members present voting aye, motion carried.

Approval of Resolution No. 05-31 - Courthouse Union - OPEIU Agreement – Motion made by Supervisor Barrow, seconded by Supervisor Becker, to approve the Resolution as presented. Human Resources Director Kuhnmuench discussed the terms of the agreement with the Committee, which included a three percent wage increase, additional employee contribution to health insurance, and a revised step plan for new employees. He added that this offer was negotiated in an attempt to avoid arbitration and that the union membership had overwhelmingly approved the terms in a ratification vote. All members present voting aye, motion carried.

Resolution – Appointing Alternates to Executive Committee – Motion made by Supervisor Cronce to approve the resolution as presented, seconded by Supervisor Erickson. Chairman Brooks presented the resolution to the committee explaining the intent to allow the Chairpersons of the Standing Committees to appoint an alternate to the Executive Committee when unable to attend. This should ensure that the communication linkage between the Committees remains intact. Supervisor Hass Lieder suggested that the resolution was not necessary and that the Committee Chairs should make themselves available when the meeting is a priority. Supervisor Hilber stated that the ability to appoint an alternate ensures quorum, and will aid communication. Supervisors Cronce and Erickson maintained that the ability to appoint an alternate should be a benefit to the Committee and Board.

Discussion/Action – County Board Supervisor Attendance Policy – Supervisor Hass Lieder presented to the Committee suggesting that a policy is required to ensure that Supervisors who do not attend meetings are not compensated. Supervisor Erickson inquired of Corporation Counsel Kenealy whether a policy placing restrictions on Board members who do not attend Committee meetings is permissible. Counsel explained that while allowable for attendance at Committee meetings, a policy might prove impractical, further stating, that no Board member is required to serve on a committee. Chairman Brooks suggested that the Board Chair can remove any Committee member for cause. Supervisor Cronce inquired of Counsel if individual Committees could set their own policy. Counsel informed that it would be possible, if the County Board allowed this role, but suggested that the issues mentioned previously apply. Chairman Brooks inquired if pay could be restricted, Counsel replied that Board members are paid for their service on the Board, not Committee attendance. The Committee continued discussion, and took no action.

Discussion/Action – County Code of Ethics – Chairman Brooks presented the item, informing the Committee that this issue was raised as the Policy and Procedure Manual is created from the current policies and procedures contained in the Code of Ordinances. The committee discussed whether the Ethics Code should be contained within the Code of Ordinances, Policy and Procedure Manual or as a separate document. Corporation Counsel suggested creation of separate Codes for employees and for County Board members. The Codes will be prepared along this suggestion and presented at a future meeting.

Next Meeting – August 3^rd, 2005 – following adjournment of the County Board meeting to discuss the 2006 budget, and other items as necessary.

Adjournment – Motion made by Supervisor Nelson to adjourn, seconded by Supervisor Cronce. Motion carried, all members present voting aye.Meeting adjourned 12:56 PM
