 It's a debate over the parameters of the program, but it's not the link that exposed it to the irreparable damage, but helping those that are trying to uncover better avoid detection.

Thank you, Supervisor Winkle. Supervisor Lemio. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll second that motion. Thank you, Supervisor Lemio. Are there any additions or corrections? All those in favor of approval? Press your I button. Oppose me. Ex-consideration of appointments by the Executive Committee. To the Finance Committee, George Marthenzee, Law Committee, Faye Urena, and Human Resources, Faye Urena. Respectfully submitted this 18th day, June 2013. Executive Committee, Supervisors to Strudy, Gehring, Wagner, Fighter, and Marthenzee. Supervisor Winkle. Supervisor Gehring. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will support that motion. Thank you, Supervisor Gehring. Supervisor Baumgart. I had my button on soon, but that's all right, Mr. Chairman. I would request a separate finance vote and the other two positions I don't get to voting. Thank you. That's a call for a separation of the question. Any additional comments? We'll have the first vote. Supervisor Epping. Thank you, Chairman Strudy. Seeing the appointment for the committees, I reviewed the membership of the other committees on the board. Just so you're aware, I'm not arguing about any supervisor in particular, I do note that for the Executive and the Finance Committee, it's proposed that there are three supervisors that belong to both committees. Three supervisors on the committee make it a majority that makes for a forum and can pass whatever issues come before them. And I guess I'm not arguing against any individual supervisor, but I think with 25 supervisors on the county board, that having three of the same supervisors on two of the most powerful committees causes me a little bit of concern. And so I would, like I say, not against anyone in particular, but I would like to see that more supervisors get on these two committees and what are being proposed here. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Supervisor Baumgart. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. While I have similar concerns, I just think the opportunity for the chair to add diversity was quite wide and open, and I think he missed an opportunity and I'm going to be voting against the candidate. Thank you for those comments. Seeing no lights, all those in favor of the motion? The question is the separation of the questions. We'll be voting on each one of the appointments by themselves. Is that correct, Carol? Supervisor Baumgart. You can do that, Mr. Chairman. My only request was one for the one for the finance. I was not asking for three separate votes, but whatever you do is fine. Thank you. Just a comment from Carol, he said that one compels the three votes, so that's how we'll handle it right now. We're just voting on the appointment of Supervisor Martensi to the Finance Committee. All those in favor, press your I button and oppose the name. The appointment is approved 17-7. Thank you. The next vote would be Reiner to the Law Committee. Pardon me. We have a comment from Supervisor Baumgart. Go ahead with the vote. All those in favor, press your I button and oppose the name. The appointment is approved 23-1. And on to the third one, Faye Reiner to the Human Resources Committee. And that appointment is approved 23-1. Next, we have consideration of appointments by the County Administrator. Board of Adjustments, Mark Fowler and Jean Blundauer. Supervisor Winkle. Thank you. Supervisor Winkle. Supervisor Glavin. Second that motion, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. Supervisor Glavin. Seeing no lights. All those in favor, press your I button and oppose the name. The considerations are approved unanimously. Next, we have a presentation by Anne Wunderjim, Interim Director, United Way of Sheboygan County. The door back there does swing. And this is a much smaller group than I remember from about five years ago at the time I was here before you. So thank you for allowing me to come tonight. I just want to share a little background with you before I do the recognition that I plan to do. Seven years ago, the Sheboygan and Plymouth Area United Way provided $20,000 to Healthy Sheboygan County 2010. That group is now Sheboygan County 2020. And that grant was, I guess, began what I would call a passionate process of planning to go to address the health care needs in Sheboygan County. And what they were really looking at was to help families who were struggling to have their oral dental health care needs met, their primary health care needs met, and their behavioral health services met. So I want to fast forward to 2013 and the reason I'm here tonight. Over seven years, the United Way merged with Sheboygan Falls and then the Sheboygan and Plymouth Area United Way created the United Way of Sheboygan County. Healthy Sheboygan County 2010 is now Healthy Sheboygan County 2020. And that initial investment of $20,000 by the United Way resulted in the formation of the Sheboygan Area Community Clinics Incorporated, which you all know is the Lakeshore Community Health Center. And Lakeshore Community Health Center back in 2011 was awarded a federal grant and became a New Access Point Federally Qualified Health Care Center. All this was only possible through partnerships and collaborations and Sheboygan County has been at the table throughout those six years. In addition, we had the Acuity Charitable Foundation at the table, Aurora Health Care, Prevea Health, St. Nicholas Hospital, Dr. Curtis and Ruby Kellner and all of you. So and tonight, I want to recognize each one of you, members of the County Board of Supervisors and also the Sheboygan County Health and Human Services Committee. Thank you for your generous donation of $40,000 to help make the Lakeshore Community Health Center a whole entity and purchase needed equipment for a dental operatory. Your one-time gift helped raise an additional $40,000 which was matched by the Acuity Charitable Foundation. So your $40,000 helped the clinic raise $80,000 and we really appreciate that. As a small token of our appreciation, I have for you tonight and I'm going to start with the Sheboygan County Board of Supervisors, Roger, the Supervisor of District. And I'm not allowed to touch these because again, I'm in appreciation of the Sheboygan County Board of Supervisors for your outstanding support for the Lakeshore Community Health Center presented June 18, 2020. Thank you very much. And Peggy, yes, can you still chair? Okay. I did forget to go to the County Board website and check, but on behalf of United Way and the Lakeshore Community Health Center, we would like to present this plaque to Peggy as chair of the Health and Human Services Committee. It has been a tremendous year and I just want to share with you today I got some final numbers for the end of May report and from September 12th of 2012 through May 31st of 2013, approximately 5,000 dental encounters occurred serving just around 3,000 people. And we have a wait list of 750 individuals for dental services. So a tremendous need is being addressed and I just noticed that a number of local dentists and dental hygienists and dental assistants are volunteering for the most recent mission of Mercy that's coming up. Our dental community truly has been a great support to Lakeshore Community Health Center. We've had a number of encounters for our primary health care and that continues to grow. And the behavioral health program has had about 300 encounters since the beginning of the year. So definitely we're at capacity for the building we're in and looking forward to growth and expansion. And you've been a significant part of that and we really appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you, Ann. And on behalf of the entire county board in the county, thank you for the award. And I had the opportunity to be there at the grand opening over a year ago and some wonderful things happening there. Thank you. Are there any public addresses at this time? There are none. Letters and communications? There are plenty. I have a resolution from the Audigame County Board of Supervisors supporting legislation prohibiting entities from foreclosing on property without a recorded interest in that property. That will be received for information? Also from Audigame County, resolution opposing all legislative efforts to eliminate or limit the tax exempt status of municipal bonds. That's referred to the finance committee. And a third from Audigame County Board of Supervisors opposing all legislative efforts to remove local control of the 9-1-1 system. That will be referred to the law committee? I also have a resolution from the Manitowoc and Washera County Boards of Supervisors opposing all efforts of the state legislature to micromanage operations of county government. That's received for information? From the Manitowoc County Board of Supervisors urging the state fund local health departments to continue beach safety testing and notification. That's referred to the Health and Human Services Committee? I have a resolution from the Portage County Board of Supervisors supporting amending state law to permit a multi-vendor student information system for Wisconsin school districts. That's received for information? From Langlaid and Vernon County Boards of Supervisors opposing increasing acreage of alien land ownership. That's referred to the Pre-Committee? From the Oconto County Board of Supervisors supporting modification of election procedures to allow hand count or use of automated tabulating equipment. Received for information? And finally a resolution from the Oconto County Board of Supervisors opposing set hours for obtaining absentee ballots. Received for information? Are there any announcements, sir? That's it. Then on to the County Administrators Report. Chairman, good evening. What was it? About two and a half weeks or so ago, we had our 12 or 13th County Board leadership forum. It's an annual forum that many of you have participated in for a number of years, and I wanted to acknowledge a few folks as well as just give a snapshot of the feedback that you provided. First and foremost, Kayla Renz, my assistant, does a wonderful job pulling that together and planning for that. Our finance director, Terry Hansen, does a lot of the analysis and prepares the PowerPoint presentation. Corporation Counsel, Carl Vissing, is always helpful with pulling the agenda together and presenting at that. Tom Agabrecht, our Health and Human Services Director, did an excellent job presenting a new proposal that the Health and Human Services Committee just this morning supported and is recommending the addition to our Health and Human Services Department, and I want to thank Tom. I see him here this evening. He's done a wonderful job helping pull that together. Jim Tabist has been part of that, and certainly Peggy in the Health and Human Services Committee. Another collaborative effort that I think is a very serious recommendation and opportunity for improvement. Of course, Sheriff Todd Prevy was at our leadership forum and talked about combined dispatch and progress that's been made there and distributed a high-end summary of the timetable and all the action steps that are ahead of us, and there's a lot of work to do, but I know Todd is looking forward to bring him at your fruition. You have the evaluation results in front of you, both electronically and hard copy, and I think of the last 12 or 13 years, based on the feedback we received, and perhaps the best leadership forum that we've put together today, based on your feedback. And I also want to acknowledge Vice Chairman Tom Wagner, who suggested that John Holkimer come in. As you can see from the results, John received high marks from you. I thought his presentation was excellent. The information was excellent, and frankly, I got to know him a little bit better as well, and I think he's serving us well at the Wisconsin Counties Association. Your comments, great speakers, super information, please have back in the future, so thank you, Tom, for suggesting John. On the county financial results, debt service and five-year capital plan, of course, Terry took the lead on that, high marks from all of you, and when I say all of you, 22 of the 25 county board supervisors participated in our leadership forum, and I think that reflects very highly on our board and the overall interest and willingness to take the time to get together for nearly, what, seven hours or so and get a snapshot of where we're at and where we're headed, but good feedback for our finance director, excellent presentation. Glad we captured him from the city of Sheboygan. Very good, so appreciate the feedback and the excellent job that Terry did. Carl and Chairman Distrudi and I provided a little update on roles and responsibilities, best practices, and Carl received a comment of great job, so we appreciate the work that he did. Tom Eggebrecht, as I mentioned earlier, high scores for his presentation and one of the comments Tom Eggebrecht's presentation was very, very good and Sheriff Todd Prevy also was complimented on the document that he distributed, so nice to see that feedback, we appreciate it. Obviously, there's always room for improvement and we're always striving to improve that leadership forum and the information provided, but your feedback is appreciated. I think three guys in a grill once again did a nice job with the meal, the accommodations were wonderful and was the forum beneficial to you? The last question, all the scores, except for one, were very good or excellent in one average and then comments great topics keep it coming, very beneficial even for an old goat like me. I don't know who wrote that. It was nice to see the feedback and the last comment, I think this was the best forum we have had. So very nice, appreciate that. On the theme of good news and recognizing leadership, I would ask that Peggy Fighter please come forward again if she's willing in April. Last month, we handed out a number of service award pins and if the chairman and vice chairman could please join me. Peggy Fighter was not able to be with us last month but she's here this evening and of course, received some well-deserved recognition from the United Way as did the full county board and that was nice to see Anne wonder Jim again. But Peggy, in her short tenure, five years now on the county board has really made an impact. Supervisor Peggy Fighter was elected to the county board in 2008 and currently serves on the executive committee and as Anne now knows is chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee. Peggy has a particularly strong background and experience with our Health and Human Services Department for prior to her election on the county board and you may not all be aware of this but Peggy was one of the three citizen members appointed to the Health and Human Services Committee since 2005. So she's got a background in Health and Human Services and it shows she's a strong supporter of the Health and Human Services Department the programs that we provide obviously for the neediest of the needy in our community she's been an active participant in the Wisconsin County Human Services Association attending meetings, conferences working with our legislators attending meetings with our staff to help raise awareness with our legislators she also represents Sheboygan County on the Wisconsin County's Association Ambassador program so she's willing to put in the extra time to raise awareness and help our legislators understand what's all happening in Sheboygan County and the needs we have. As you know the Health and Human Services Committee a chairperson fighter, this county board as a whole has so much to be proud of when you look at our Health and Human Services Department just remarkable work being done by remarkable individuals and of late of course you're aware that we had a TV outbreak in this community and there's been information shared with the public on that and I want to not only recognize Peggy in the committee but Tom Eggebrecht and his staff in the department excellent, excellent response I had the opportunity to participate in a number of the meetings where they briefed us on progress, how we're handling that and just A-plus all around so that we all can be proud of our Health and Human Services Department and finally since 2010 Peggy has also served on the City County Shared Services Committee most recently as chairperson from 2012 through 2013 when some people might say finally she was able to help advocate for and lead and ultimately this county board approved combined dispatch being brought to fruition so Peggy on behalf of Chairman Distruty, Vice Chairman Wagner and myself thank you for five years in dedicated service to the people as some of you know I just returned from a vacation so I'm feeling refreshed I was in Canada I was in Canada for a week with my son and two other fathers and their boys and I've been going to Canada since I was 18 I used to go with my buddies and then with family and my daughters and of late it's been a father-son trip but we just had a wonderful week excellent fishing, excellent weather when I travel like that and I don't get a chance to travel as much as some of you in this room but I tend to look at the community that I'm staying and the communities I'm going through and though it's tough to beat the fishing in Canada it's sure tough to beat all the good things happening in Sheboyton County prior to leaving I asked my assistant Kay to pull some Sheboyton County accolades together because if you walk through our administration building or if you walk through City Hall or if you go on the Sheboyton County Economic Development Corporation website or if you go on our excellent website you will see a number of these accolades mentioned though they aren't all pulled together in one place we now have an excellent website an improved website and I thought you know what let's include these with pride on our website and if people want additional information or they're looking at a tour coming here for a vacation or moving or starting a business here they can see in a snapshot all the good things happening in our Sheboyton County so it's good to be back and before you as a list and I'm very quickly going to read through this list because though we don't have a lot of press represented this evening frankly I think that so many things that happen in this community here are best kept secrets I don't think people fully appreciate what we all have going our way here and certainly when you go to another country or you go to another community here I think recognize we have a lot going well in Sheboyton County we have a diverse and strong locally owned companies and I see the Kohler Company represented this evening the Kohler Company, Acuity Johnsonville, the list goes on and on but the Kohler Company has been tremendous from a standpoint of what it's meant to this community and the people that live in it Readers Digest, number one place in America to raise a family second title, best place to raise your family top 100 most affordable

attended congressman Petri was there and many legislators and a shout out to congressman Petri and his staff just wonderful support for that non motorized program and the funding we received it

I'll second the motion to approve ordinance number 3 Thank you Supervisor Fighter Supervisor Baumgart Thank you very much Mr. Chairman I have no objection I'm on the committee that reviews this to amending shoreline ordinance in section 11 and 14 but I'm going to abstain because outside of this issue there is an issue of traffic that I think will endanger the health and well being of those people using the state park and the potential increase in the traffic because of somewhat trying to modify the concerns of other residents and I just have a fear that we're going to move into an area that at peak park time when we have 640,000 people that come to Terriander-Cola park 66,400 campers there's some large number during the peak time that at the same time they're going to be camping out there coming out of the park in an area right near the area that people register I think is asking for some difficulty and potential danger that I'm going to abstain because I think there is a real potential problem. Thank you Mr. Chairman Thank you for those comments. Supervisor Huffman Thank you Mr. Chairman I too will abstain in that I'm on the Tauna Wilson Board and we will be looking at this in the near future so I will abstain.
