 The Tuesday, May 21st meeting of the County Board will be called to order. Are we in compliance with the open meeting law? Yes, we are. The agenda was posted on May 15th at 2.15 in the afternoon. Thank you. Would you all join me in the Pledge of Allegiance? I welcome you to the Pledge of Allegiance, the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. We'll have the roll call. One, you said. There are 21 supervisors present. No, we're not. Thank you. Once they all vote. Wait. Thank you. Thank you. Next, would someone move for approval of the journal? Supervisor Murthensie. Mr. Chairman, will you move for approval? Thank you, Supervisor Murthensie. Supervisor Glavin. I'll second that motion, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Supervisor Glavin. Are there any additions or corrections? Oh, pardon me. Supervisor Lemming. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'd like to amend to reflect the supervisor who voted against Resolution 21. Okay, and there's a second. Supervisor Winkle. Yes, sir. Thank you. Would the clerk make that note? Yes. Mark Gwinkel was in opposition on that vote. Okay. Any others? All those for approval? Press your aye button. Opposed? No. Motion's approved unanimously. Next, consideration of appointment by the chairperson. I'd like to make a brief explanation. We had six very qualified people that applied for the job. And I asked Vice Chairman Wagner to sit in on the interviews. And we had two days where we each, two afternoons, met with three people, a very qualified people. And we made the choice of Faye Reiner. And you have a brief profile on here. And with that, I would accept a motion for approval. Supervisor Gehring. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would concur with your nomination. Thank you, Supervisor Gehring. Supervisor Marthenzi. I'll second that motion. Thank you, Supervisor Marthenzi. All those in favor? Press your aye button. Pardon me. There's one. No. Supervisor Baumgart. I assume there is the moment we can ask a question with a motion and second? Certainly. I, I missed your right. Pardon me. I'm short. Go right, go right. As part of the open government process, and I did that last time to Chairman Vanders-Gene, I think it's appropriate to list to the body of the name of those people that had applied for the position, because that should be open information available to the public and to the members of the supervisor group. Certainly. Certainly. Does the clerk have a letter to read? I do not. With the help of the vice chairman, we'll try to remember the people. I believe there was Tim Lorenz, and there was James Van Ackren, and Mr. Hill. Ron Miller, and there was Mr. Hill. I don't recall his first name. Dan Hill. Jim Herring. Jim Herring. Pardon me. That was the other one. I believe that is six, then. And again, they were all very qualified people, and we were honored that there were six applicants that put their name forward and appreciate their effort, and they were very good, qualified people, and both vice chairman Wagner and I made the choice that I'll fail. And on the nomination, may I make a comment? Go right ahead. One of the things that has bothered me over time is one of the things that we say, although we don't always do, we talk about maybe we should have a little more relationship with city council people, and yet when they apply for the county board for whatever reason they are skipped, we talk about having a better relationship with county board members so that those that do a good job, we provide the respect that they're doing, and we've appointed a number of them over the years to different committees after they've left the county board. So I do want to make a comment about Ron Miller, who happened to sit down to my left, and he happens to be a friend, so I want to clarify there is a little bias on my part, but also because he is a friend, I've known him quite well, and he was appointed as a county supervisor and opted not to run at the end of the term because he redistributed and put him in with his friend Mr. Van Nesteen, and so he would have liked to serve to another term, and I thought he did a very outstanding job, and at least I've heard nobody say otherwise. One of the things that was important about Ron Miller was the fact that he had lived in the district for years and years and years, and has served that district in a variety of ways, as a volunteer and as a community neighbor, people that I've talked to have always had the highest respect for the women in need, Ron and his wife would be there to help, but the fact is that he was also active in the community. He's a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, and if you wanted to have church services recorded, he learned how to do the cable TV thing, and he made sure that the people that were with disabilities always had a film of the services that they couldn't get to. He was on committees with the Lutheran insurance that in our community do a great deal of help and service, and he was a leader in that group and a number of others, and I can go through a long litany, but the thing that bothers me most is that here we have a person who has served in the district as a county board member recently and did a good job and has been in the community for a long time and was bypassed. No doubt a person that you've selected who's only recently moved in the area has great credentials. No doubt about that, but we're talking about the human factor that's important. The fact that somebody has served, the community has lived in the community is part of the community, and after when there's a chance to put that person back and to the service again was ignored, so I just wanted to point that out because A, you're the friend, B, I thought he did an outstanding job, and C, I know he did an outstanding job in our community, and I think maybe far too many of us ignore the fact that we have people who's in this community that do countless things and don't take any credit for it and maybe are bypassed because of that, so I'm just disappointed. I'm going to vote against a nominee, not because she's not qualified. I just think Ron Miller was a better candidate. Thank you for those comments. I'd like to respond to a couple of them as of... I don't recall the exact number, but I believe it's near 20 years that the appointee has been in the community. Her parents and grandparents were from the area, as about the community service. She had quite a list, and I believe I'm working off memory, but I believe she has served as a treasure for her church in town a couple of different terms, so there is that also. Again, Tom and I looked at all the qualifications, and that's the choice that we made, and I appreciate your comments. The other was a comment about the relation between the city and the county. I've been around for quite a few years, and quite frankly, I don't think it's ever been better than it has been in the last few years, so I think that I believe we're doing pretty well on. So with that, are there any other comments? Supervisor Winkle. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'd just like to see any misgivings aside. The appointment was in fact yours, and I'm sure you've done your due diligence. In fact, I know you have. Thank you, Supervisor Winkle. Any other comments? If not, all those in favor, press your I button. Motion carries 20 to 1. Thank you, Your Honor. Could you please step forward? Faye, come forward, please. And repeat after me. I, Faye Rainer. I, Faye Rainer. Swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States. Swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States. And the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin. And the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin. And will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of the office. And will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of the office. County Board Supervisor for District 2. County Board Supervisor for District 2. To the best of my ability, so help me God. To the best of my abilities, so help me God. Please sign on the line. Thank you, and for the short time, we have a supervisor without a committee till the committee appointments are made at the Executive Committee for Approval at the next County Board Meeting. Then there will be a couple of appointments to fill the vacancies of the committees and the subcommittees. And you all received an email if you were interested in those positions. So thank you for that. The next order of business is consideration of appointments by the County Administrator. There is quite a long list, and maybe it would be in order for Kyle to explain how we got to this point some of the reasons that there is such a list and what we've done in the last couple of years. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, there is quite a large list. We're starting a new board year, which is also the expiration date of old terms of officers and citizen appointees. We created a couple of years ago term expiration or a default expiration term for a lot of appointments that were created over the years and didn't have a specific term limit. So between the Executive Committee keeping an eye on this, the County Administrator and his Administrative Assistant keeping an eye on when terms are expiring. We have gathered quite a large list, and that's before the Board for consideration tonight. Thank you, Kyle. And with that, if there's no objections, I'd like the clerk to read the different names of each of them and most of them are reappointments if someone would like to divide the question they would, but otherwise the motion would be in order to accept them all. Go right ahead. To the Affirmative Action Committee, Dave Adams. To the Communications Council, Dave Augustine. Brian Gessler. Journey President, Steve Steinhardt. Josh McDermott. Edgar Karstead. To the Eastern Charles Library, System Board. Elwood Winding. To the Emergency Medical Services Council. Robert Kohaneff. Alan Rubel. Dan Hine. Steve Steinhardt. Darrell Kaszabowski. Craig Schicker. Suzanne Martins. Carson Wilkinson. Thomas Barr. To the Glacierland Resource Conservation and Development Council, Brad Kruzzik. To the Local Emergency Planning Committee, Kathleen Rathmar. Thomas Barr. Phillip Ditter. Keri Kotzler. Travis Wach. Peter Madden. To the Recreational Facilities Management Advisory Committee, David Smith. Tim Chisholm. And David DeWiss. And to the Traffic Safety Commission, Joda Checo. Ron Becker. Terry Martin. Laverne Haag. And James Gilligan. Supervisor Lenny. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I concur with all the appointments. Thank you, Supervisor Lenny. Supervisor Nicole. I'll second the motion, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Supervisor Nicole. Supervisor Huffman. Yeah, just a question. I have no problem with the appointment, but you have Dan Hine down for EMS and you have under county government. Okay. Shouldn't that be a county board member or somebody involved in county government, not a town board chairman or something like that? I guess I just don't understand, you know, he's a good man and I'll vote for him, but I just don't understand why he's under for county government. And since these are appointments by the administrator, I'll refer to him on this one. I don't know. Does it make sense? To be frank with you, I don't know. The way the process works is that generally through the staff that oversee or work with these advisory committees, they recommend individuals. They then go to the liaison committee. The liaison committee makes a recommendation on their comfort level with it. It then comes to our office. Kayla Renz, my assistant, does an excellent job coordinating all these. I review them and if the liaison committee and the direct staff involved are comfortable with it, unless I see something that I think is going to be a problem, I support them and recommend them to the full board for confirmation. My instinct is this needs to be an appointment from someone at large within the county, but again, county government, I can appreciate your question on should it be specifically a county representative? The answer is I don't know. I'm hoping that the people that put this together do and that it's appropriate. If not, obviously we'll make a change. All right, yeah. I'll vote for him, but like I said, it's just kind of confusing looking at that, you know, county government. Okay, thank you. We're getting some information from our clerk. Could you help clarify that? Sure. The actual list signed by Adam, it says village government. Town government, I'm sorry. Now I know the reason for the concern, the county clerk made an error. Yes, it was just discovered. Made an error. No, it's my error. Thank you, Supervisor Hoffman and John and Supervisor Winkle, you have a question? I just point out to Supervisor Hoffman, this is a reappointment which would indicate past service on that council. Thank you, Supervisor Winkle. Seeing no more lights, all those in favor? Press your aye. All right, apartments are approved unanimously. Thank you. Next we have presentations. Yes, good evening. If the chairman and vice chairman could please join me. It's a rather unique evening. As you can see, we have a lengthy list of service award pens to present and this is a nice evening. One that we do generally in April or May of each year. Although I can't recall in my 14 year tenure that we've had this many. And I recognize that we're not before hundreds of thousands of constituents here that the primary audience are board members and some staff here of TVA. We're glad to have TVA with us. But I'm going to try to go through these a little more concisely than I perhaps have in the past. We're going to have five department heads come forward, my assistant, and then 11 county board supervisors. So if we could get rolling and start with a veteran service officer, Charlene Cobb, she would please come forward. Charlene began her employment with Sheboygan County in October of 2008. During her first five years as veteran service officer, Charlene has assisted veterans and their families with nearly $108 million in state and federal financial assistance. And that's remarkable how incredibly important her position is that her staff do for the veterans of this organization or for this community, over $108 million of financial assistance for our veterans and their families. Very, very important work. Charlene also was a key advocate who helped establish the county's veteran treatment court. As you know, that's been very successful and we've received some very nice compliments with the good work of the veteran service court. In May 2012, Charlene completed her masters of divinity degree and serves Wisconsin veterans as the state chaplain for the veterans of foreign wars. So very impressive track record in just the last five years. So please join Chairman Distruty, Vice Chairman Wagner and myself in recognizing Charlene for five years serving the people of Sheboygan County. Treasurer Laura Henning Lorenz, if you would please come forward 10 years of service to Sheboygan County. Laura was first elected as county treasurer in November of 2002 and is now serving her fourth term as county treasurer. During her tenure there have been a number of cost saving and streamlining initiatives that Laura has been a big part of including, a big part of being involved in, including consolidating real property listing into the treasurer's office, implementing a new online tax payment option and assuming responsibilities for the city of Sheboygan's real property listing functions. This past year Laura and her team distributed over 57,000 tax bills and every year when those tax bills are distributed certainly we think about it when we receive our own and look that over but to think that her office is distributing 57,000 of those and the complaints that I receive and my bet is the complaints you receive are very few and far between about the outstanding service of Laura's office and the work she does. In fact she shared with me that recently an audit was completed to look at a segment of those tax bills, 57,000 tax bills and only six were questioned by the state. Laura does an excellent job and we appreciate it. Please join Chairman Distruty, Vice Chairman Wagner and I in recognizing Laura Henning Lorenz for 10 years. Commissioner Rebecca Persak, she's come forward, 15 years of service. Rebecca began her employment with Sheboygan County as the Assistant Corporation Council and Child Support Attorney in July of 1998. In 2003 Rebecca was appointed court commissioner. As you may know court commissioners are attorneys who are appointed by the circuit court judges for the purpose of carrying out certain delegated responsibilities to assist the courts. Very, very important work. Laura resides over hundreds of court hearings every year from paternity pre-trial conferences, temporary hearings and divorce cases to small claims hearings and weddings, she does get to have a little fun from time to time. Early in her tenure as court commissioner, Rebecca developed and implemented a new procedure to more effectively track and collect mediation revenue and she has earned the respect of her peers, litigants and coworkers alike and I can't emphasize that enough the critically important work that Laura does, the individuals that she interacts with, one would think you might hear more concerns from time to time about the work she does. She certainly is not in a position where she can please everyone and every time we have a performance evaluation or the judges are looking for input, time and time again I hear nothing but positive things about her professionalism and the good work that she does. More recently, just as part of this last budget cycle, she converted a paralegal position to a job share which is projected to save Sheboygan County taxpayers $10,000 a year. Currently, Rebecca is president of the Sheboygan County Bar Association, so please join me, Chairman Tostruti and Vice Chairman Wagner in recognizing Rebecca for 15 years of service to Sheboygan County. Child Support Director, Mr. Jim Groff, would you please come forward with 25 years of service. Jim began his employment with Sheboygan County as an accounting supervisor in the Health and Human Services Department in 1988 and became the Child Support Director in 1990. Jim and his staff have received a number of Wisconsin Child Support Awards over the years including County of the Year, Director of the Year and Child Support Member of the Year for extraordinary commitment to the Child Support Program. In addition, a number of Jim's staff have been recognized as Child Support Professionals of the Year. Jim and his staff also earned certificates of excellence and outstanding achievement for the very important work they do. I don't imagine too many of the clients who serve share these things with you over the phone, though. Probably not. Jim and his staff do very, very important work. Please join me in recognizing him for 25 years of service to the people of Sheboygan County. Thank you, Jim. And my favorite one of the evening, Assistant to the County Administrator, Kayla Rends, would you please come forward with 30 years of experience, one would never be able to tell that. 30 years. Kayla spent her entire professional career serving Sheboygan County, beginning her employment back in 1982 at Rocky Knoll, shortly after earning her bachelor's degree in health information management. During Kayla's tenure at Rocky Knoll, she served as the Medical Record Coordinator, Director of Health Information Services, and led the facility's quality assurance efforts. After completing the education and testing requirement to obtain a nursing home administrator's license, Kayla was promoted to Assistant Administrator at Rocky Knoll and twice was appointed to serve as interim administrator. Kayla is also the county's HIPAA Privacy Officer and began her current position working for yours truly in 2007, one of the best years of my life. Kayla reflects very, very highly into Sheboygan County. I consider myself so fortunate to work with her. She is competent, she is kind, she is thoughtful, she is professional, she anticipates needs, whether it's myself or Chairman Distruty, she's good with department head, she's good with the county board, she's good for Sheboygan County Government and by far the best administrative assistant I've ever had the pleasure of working with. So please join me, Chairman Distruty and Vice Chairman Wagner in recognizing CAVR 30 years of service to the people of Sheboygan County. Tom just gave us sympathies. Clerk of Court, Nantad, 35 years. 35 years, very impressive. Please stand over a little closer to us. Let them all take a good look. 35 years, she was elected to the Clerk of Courts in 2001. She began her career, however, with Sheboygan County in the Auditor's Office in 1978. She applied for a position in the Clerk of Courts Office the following year and has been with us in that department ever since. Nant has served many roles in the Clerk of Courts Department the past 30 years, most notably as the Accounting Manager and now as the Clerk of Circuit Court. She is one of our 19 department heads overseeing incredibly important work in Sheboygan County serving the Circuit Court judges and many others. Nant completed her bachelor's degree in accounting at Lakeland College, just learn that. She has served as the Secretary of the Wisconsin County Constitutional Officers and as a national board member of a nonprofit foundation dedicated to education and support for patients and caregivers. Very impressive. 35 years. How are you holding up? Wonderful. Please join Chairman Tostruti, Vice Chairman Wagner and myself in recognizing Nant Todd for 35 years of dedicated service to the people of Sheboygan County. Thank you, Nant. 11 county board supervisors, some of which that are receiving their five-year pin, their 15-year pin and their 25-year pin. And I could go on at length about individual accomplishments, whether it's leadership, things that have happened in the past, as you know, and I recognize board members for their pins, or when we have, I apologize. We go into a number of those accomplishments, but with 11 and with the hour growing a little later, I wanted to talk a little bit more about what we all know is true for Sheboygan County. We're all about collaboration and teamwork. Our fiscal track record, all the accomplishments that you know about with your respective liaison committees or through the board processes as a whole don't happen with each and every one of you being involved. I want to welcome Fay Urainer, Supervisor Urainer tonight and as we discussed earlier during her orientation, she is joining an incredibly thoughtful, caring team. A team with a superb track record. A team of problem solvers. And as I reflect on this board's accomplishments, which you happen to have a little high-end snapshot in your materials this evening, the list goes on and on about the very good things that you do for this community. Tonight you're going to be taking action on bonding. Now, to some people in this community, well, the board is going to pass up nearly $10 million in bonding. How important is that? Yet as you know, you have a five-year capital improvement plan. You go through that every year as part of the budget process. You look out to see what types of improvements do we need to make for this community. And as part of the action you collectively are going to take tonight, you're going to lock in one of the best interest rates of our history at just over 1%. And this funding is going to support emergency response communication in our Sheriff's Department, new boilers, roof replacements across the county, health and human services building improvements, elevators that our clients and staff can rely on. Tremendous improvements in infrastructure. County trunk highways OK and J are going to be completely reconstructed. The intersection of IMD is going to be improved. County truck highway DE we're going to bridge work. We're doing more and more reconstruction or asphalt work. And of course, as you know right now, old plank trail road trails being improved. All of these things that you take the lead on, that you support or you authorize, some of you may initiate it, some of you may not, but you all collectively can take ownership for the very good things that are happening in this community. And it's why I'm proud to work with you and proud to be a part of this team. So this evening, we're going to celebrate collaboration and teamwork and start by honoring some county board supervisors who are five year veterans. And when you come forward, if you could please remain upfront and you can hold your applause for the folks that are in the audience until after we get through the five years. So would county board supervisor Al Bosman, please come forward. Al was elected to the county board in 2008. He is currently a member of the health care centers committee and is also on the planning resources, agriculture and extension committee, which he has served on since his election. County board supervisor Fran Damp. Supervisor Fran Damp was elected to the county board also in 2008. She has served on the human resources committee since she was elected and the planning resources, agriculture and extension committee for this current term. Supervisor Verne Koch. Verne, there's a pattern here, was elected in 2008, has been a member of the health and human services committee since he was elected and also has served on the law committee since 2012. County board supervisor Ed Procek and also elected in 2008 has served on the property committee since that time. He is also serving his second term as chairperson of that committee and Ed has also served on the human resources committee since 2012. And behind me, to the side of me, county board vice chairman Tom Wagner was elected in 2008. As you know, Tom is your vice chairman. You elected your chair and vice chair and in that capacity he is a member of the executive committee and also serves on the powerful finance committee. In the past, Tom has served on the law and transportation committees. And then finally, last but not least, supervisor Chris Wheeler. Chris was also elected in 2008 has served on the health and human services committee since she was elected and on the property committee since 2012. Please join Chairman Strudy and I in recognizing supervisors Al Bosman, Fran Damp, Verne Koch, Ed Procek, Tom Wagner and Chris Wheeler for five outstanding consecutive years of dedicated service to the citizens of Sheboyd County. Well done. Would County Board Supervisor Michael Oji please come forward. Mike was elected to the County Board in 1998 and look how he's improved his decor over the years. Clean. Mike is currently the chairperson of the planning resources, agriculture and extension committee is a member of the law committee. He has also served on the resources committee from 2006 through 2008. The executive committee from 2010 through 2012 and prior to this term served on the law committee from 1998 to 2006. So Mike has served on a number of committees and clearly is a valuable member of the County Board. What I personally appreciate about Mike is he has a way of sometimes thinking a little out of the box or coming up with a different way of considering something or a new idea and I think as a result he challenges all of us from time to time and I appreciate that. Could Supervisor Jack Van Dixhorn also come forward. Jack was elected to the County Board in 1998 as well and is currently a member of the Health and Human Services Committee and the Transportation Committee. Jack has served on committees relating to land and water conservation for the past 15 years. He served as chairman of the planning resources, agriculture and extension committee for two terms and he has also served on the finance committee, property and law committees. On a personal note, my dad was a few years younger than Jack when they attended Sheboygan Falls High School. But he has mentioned to me on more than one occasion what a tremendous athlete Jack was and according to my dad he was a powerful bull on the basketball court. I would have enjoyed seeing that. So please join Chairman Distruity, Vice Chairman Wagner and I in recognizing Supervisor Mike Ogie and Supervisor Jack Van Dixhorn for 15 consecutive years of dedicated service to the citizens of Sheboygan. County Board Supervisor Bill Gering, please come forward. 25 years. Bill was elected to the County Board in 1988 and is currently the chairman of the finance committee and also serves on the executive committee. Bill was the County Board chairman from December 2002 through April 2008 and during his tenure also served and during his tenure he's also served on the law committee, the property committee, the human resources and health and human services committees. Perhaps most notably under Bill's leadership as County Board Chairman, the County Board reduced the property tax levy for the first time in 21 years prior to his leadership as chair. He was the only county of two in the state, 72 in total, able to do so at that time. On a personal note, I don't know if Bill ever played basketball but I do know that he has a great love and appreciation for farmland and tractors and you might want to ask him about that sometime. Would Roger Otten please come forward? Roger was elected to the County Board in 1988 and is currently a member of the health care center and health and human services committee. He served on both of those committees for the past 15 years and is currently chairman of the health care center's committee 15 years consecutively in both of these committees. Did anybody know that? How did you do that? I know we want to see a liaison from both committees and Roger's been the one and the other thing I know about Roger is he's never hesitant to ask tough questions and drill down into things and that's been appreciated at both committees. As you know, Roger along with other health care center committee members provided key leadership in rightsizing our three nursing homes into one, a necessary and significant step to safeguard the financial well-being of Sheboygan County. In addition, Roger has served on the property, finance and executive committees. Please join Chairman Distruty, Vice Chairman Wagner and I in recognizing Bill and Roger for 25 consecutive years of service to the people of Sheboygan County. You look smaller. See, if folks ever retire and move on, we have these photos then we can have some fun. Last but not least, we have a special guest this evening. Would the honorable Mayor Michael Vanderstien please come forward? Mike was elected to the County Board in 1998 and as you know recently resigned his seat on the County Board in order to commit all of his energy to his new role as mayor of the city of Sheboygan. During Mike's tenure in the County Board he served on the health care centers committee, the finance committee, the law committee and the executive committee. He was chairman of the health care centers committee for two terms and provided key leadership with the health care center citizens task force and the subsequent sale of Sonny Rich. As you know, the County Board elected Mike as its chairman for two terms from 2008 through 2012 and Mike followed the successful track record of bill gearing and delivered property tax relief three of four years in his role as County Board chairman. The city of Sheboygan has now elected Mike to serve as their mayor for the next four years. And I've heard chairman to strudy say, most recently at a chamber function, the city's gain is our loss. We are so fortunate to have Mike I think as mayor of the city of Sheboygan, not only because of what we saw him do here, his collaborative approach, teamwork, pulling people together to problem solve. But earlier there was some discussion about city-county relations and I agree with chairman to strudy. I think they're as good as they've ever been at least during my tenure. But without question, they should only get better with mayor Mike Vanderstein at the helm. So please stand and join chairman to strudy. Vice chairman Wagner and I in thanking Mike for 15 consecutive years of dedicated service to the citizens of Sheboygan County and wishing him well in his new role as mayor of the city of Sheboygan. I want to thank you for that 15-year recognition. It's been really a pleasure and a joy to serve with you. I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome Faye Rainer to that seat in the front row. It's not often that people with our last names get to sit in the front row, so I hope you enjoy that. As well as representing those great residents of the second district. But I really enjoy working with all you supervisors and the staff over the years. I appreciate the support and the collaboration that we've put together as partners to find the best solutions for the problems that we faced. I think we made some really good decisions over these years. But first among them was the decision to hire administrative coordinator and then we hired the best person for that job in Adam Payne. And later on we recognized the great work that he did as an coordinator and promoted him to administrator. Adam's good at making all of us think that we made a difference in the success that Sheboygan County has achieved during this decade plus tenure. But the real reason that we've been successful I believe is because of the great team that Adam's assembled to work for us. The department heads, all the employees, excuse me, have really made a difference. Adam always deflects the praise to his staff or to his supervisors. And when there are challenges, Adam is personally involved in digging in to make sure that solutions are found and implemented to correct the problem. It was a real pleasure for me to partner with Adam and serve as county board chair for two terms. With Adam and Kay, the chairman has always had a great team helping to make Sheboygan County successful. As chairman I started some bimonthly leadership meetings between the city of Sheboygan and now I'm looking forward to continuing this as mayor of the city of Sheboygan. It's really come full circle which is fantastic. I hope that we can continue to work together to find solutions for the problems that we face that are a win-win for both the city and the county because our taxpayers will all benefit in the end. And Endy and I just want to thank Sheboygan County team for the training that I received during my years as an elected official. So that will be a much better year for the city of Sheboygan. Thank you very much. And budgetary savings to the county between this year through 2016 as an effect of the refunding, the refinancing. You see it ranges from 20,000 to about $26,000 annually. And then finally on the last page, page four, detailed repayment plan plus layering in room for potential future issues that the county may bring to market in the coming years. This was specifically structured for a rapid repayment. This final maturity in fact is in 2018. And it's also structured to allow layering and new debt if necessary without seeing an increase in the debt service tax levy. So there's some forward planning going on here from the finance committee, executive committee and the county board itself.
