Please join me in the standing vote for the moment of silence at the moment. Thank you. This is the approval of the June 16, 2020 journal. As the chair would like the minutes to show that we have the bolding I think the motion will approve. Thank you, Supervisor Huffman. Second that motion. Thank you, Supervisor Huffman. Under discussion, are there any changes? We have a voice vote. All those in favor of the minutes from June 16, 2020, say aye. Aye. All those presentations. We have none. All the addresses, there are none. Letters, communications and announcements? I have a public. Ma'am, in order to speak before the 20th board, you would need to register. I did. I did yesterday. You did not sign up to speak? Yes, I did. You had a list of questions that I answered, but I don't recall how that came. I probably found it in my notes somewhere. That was, I think, my main thing was what I was going to speak. Do you recall? Right. Do you want to come up to the podium, please? Okay. I just wanted to talk tonight a little bit about why I started getting involved in the county and the city. It wasn't until this COVID was brought up and I was very disappointed with the main meeting where everything seemed to be pushed through. It was pulled out of committee, voted on before any of the residents knew anything about it. And for this reason, I think it made a very big distrust of the board at that time. And I talked to people. They were feeling the same way I was. And we wanted to, you know, address that. Then came to today, tonight's meeting, and just by me getting ahold of John, that's how I found out it was moved to the Wombat home. I would have gone down to the courthouse tonight, not knowing the thing happened. I think there could be a lot better communication between us and the people that are supposed to represent us. I, up to this point in time, have never been involved in any local politics or didn't know what to even look for any of the information. John was very good about telling me how to find things on the internet and not where to go to do any of this. And, you know, I appreciate that. But as far as, you know, the way we find things out and then all of a sudden, it's going to be pulled out of a committee again and voted on. I just don't see the reason why, when I know that there are other counties who are opening up these meetings to their people, letting them know about it. Their board members are telling them about the meetings. I'm just kept in the dark here, and I just don't appreciate that. And there are quite a few that I believe I can talk for tonight who would say the same thing. It's been not a good situation for us. You know, we first had the lockdown and now we feel the lockdown. And it's something we think needs to be changed. We have to be able to speak back and forth freely, be able to share our thoughts with all of you. And I don't think we've been given that recognition and for being just a franchise by the board and not being able to speak our minds. So I would ask that, but not, you know, we get some notification of the meetings. Tonight I was also told there would be no remote meetings, so we had to come out. Which, you know, is fine, but we've got to know where it is. And also, sometimes it's done by remote, sometimes it isn't. I can't wait until that 24-hour agenda to find out what has been decided by Orton's had an agenda for five days already. So I would suggest you either post it in the Sheboygan Press or on their Facebook page or something. So that we're notified and we have some say so and some very important things that are happening to us in our community. That's about it. Thank you. Next is letters, communications and announcements. I have several resolutions. There are two resolutions from Dunn and Crawford County Boards of Supervisors regarding non-partisan procedure for redistricting nets. That is terrible for us. We've got to be ready in the past, so this time we'll receive a clarification. Next I have a resolution from Juno County Board of Supervisors requesting the State Senate reconvene to address 13 water bills passed by the Assembly. That is also a couple of points in the past, so we'll receive a clarification. Finally, I have two resolutions. One from Washara County, the other from Winnebago County Boards of Supervisors supporting the commitment to veterans support and outreach act. That is also a couple of points in the past, so we'll receive a clarification. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good evening. Good evening. This is a somber way to start a meeting when you look around the room and of course we're all wearing masks to protect one another and offer some protection to ourselves. And we have two resolutions recognizing two newly departed public servants who really did a lot for this community. Alex Hopkin of Forty Years and Forty Years of Corporation Console, I'm sure. Chris still is going to try to beat that record. I just can't imagine the challenges that Alex and all of those Coney Boards and staff over the years must have been presented with and how they worked together in collaboration to do the best thing for the community. I started in 99 and 2000, so I didn't work with Alex, but I did have the opportunity to meet occasions and he just always seemed like such a thoughtful, capturing what an incredible person he was. Well, Schultz, of course, I did get to know a little bit better. I served not only for the city as your boy and as an older person, but on the Coney Board in 2006 and 2012. I served on the HR committee, the health care centers committee, and I was never on the executive committee finance committee, so I didn't get to know them like I certainly get to know our executive committee. I got to know them all and I'm going to appreciate again what a class integrity and he was always looking to do what Bob solved. And that's personally what I really enjoyed about working with this Coney Board over the last 22 years is just so many good people that are serving today. And I hear for the money and I hear for the masks and do the right things for this community. And she could save two yearly departed souls public service and I certainly appreciate yours. I was thinking about Bill Jens and Don Tram and Bill Seibel, the counties that came over and Howard Bell Horseman. But Peterson and Jack Van Dix weren't a little bit today and thinking, wow, what they would have thought to see this day. How many of us have watched the news in the past that you see? That's right. I can recall years ago seeing all of that on the news and thinking. Of course, now we're wearing them because we have a health pandemic. Those families are being made. So it was just a few months ago that this hit us, right? Talk about uncertain times. It is a week by week decision where we're going to meet. Whether it's going to be teleconference and if we can have adequate social distancing and who can be here, who can't be. I mean times are uncertain. This is how it is. This uncertainty. This is how it is. And in March, in March, when you had a county board meeting, I don't know if that was the first one at the theater or not. I don't recall anymore. But on March 17th, we had four positive cases that should go into county. Four, zero deaths. Wisconsin had 72 positive cases. No deaths. The United States had 7,038 positive cases, 260 deaths. We're just starting to hear about this coronavirus, at least in the state of Wisconsin, globally they were hearing about it, certainly. The state of Wisconsin, you know, that's in April, we had 48 positive cases. The two deaths that should go into county was starting to become a little more real. And our nursing homes, like Sunny Ridge, certainly felt the impact of that, as did our hospitals and other health care providers and emergency responders who got engaged. Wisconsin had 6,289 positive cases, 300 deaths. And the United States had 981,246 positive cases, 60,000 deaths. In April, April 28th. Fast forward to today, July 21st. Sheboygan County has 423 positive cases. And these are the cases we know of, right? Fortunately, only five deaths. Maybe only isn't the right word. But we sure are grateful it's not more than that. Wisconsin has 44,135 positive cases, 859 deaths in the state of Wisconsin. And across the United States, we have 3.9 million positive cases with 143,000 deaths since March. Times are uncertain. As I think we've all shared with one another before, how proud are we of our public health staff that's just been outstanding. And the guidelines that we prepared, the guidelines that we prepared, the collaboration with the state level and the federal level, really made a difference in this community. In fact, we're holding our own quite well in comparison to some counties around us. And I've heard more people than not express their appreciation for the leadership of our public health professionals. A lot of positive feedback about our public health staff and the county and the action we took to help save the garden. It's not easy getting those phone calls or emails telling you that this is not serious. Some people suggesting it's a hoax. We don't need any of these guidelines. We don't need to do anything. Every day getting feedback like that in light of these numbers and what's happening in the state, the country and the world. That's challenging. In addition to our public health professionals, I'm really proud of our direct health care providers, all of our nursing home staff. Some of us in this room maybe don't want to put a mask on. Every single day they go to work and they put on a heavy duty mask, gloves and gowns and all sorts of PPE to make sure that they're protecting their residents. Your family members, my family members, our neighbors, our friends, every day they do that to the sores around where they wear the masks all day long. The trepidation they feel, will I get COVID? Will I take it home to my family? That's fantastic. Rocky Hill just had a state survey a couple of weeks ago specifically looking at our COVID plans and preparations and knocked on wood. We continue to be one of the nursing homes to the county that hasn't had positive COVID cases amongst our residents. Sadly, that can happen to anyone at any time and it has happened to other nursing homes in our community and certainly across the state and country as you know. So pleased with that feedback and also so grateful for the leadership of our business community at each other. Martinez with the Chamber, Joshi and with the Chavoy County Economic Development Corporation. They've been working with the state, the United States Guidelines, Scott's an Economic Development Corporation. They're working with a lot of our business leaders. Public health has been having routine meetings with business leaders and as you are all hearing more and more businesses, more and more companies are requiring their staff to wear masks, requiring the public that comes into their business to wear masks. Why? Because they're paying attention to the data and what's happening across the country and they want to protect their employees and they want to protect this community. And certainly health is number one. I would hope we would all agree to that. But if we don't take these steps and more people get sick and they can't go to work, how do you keep the doors open in your business? They also have a lot of people that don't want to go into businesses if they haven't seen the precautions taken to keep people safe. So I am so grateful for the leadership of our business community. We're seeing more and more of that point now and we need to celebrate that and express our appreciation. In the daily updates from Public Health they provide a little, a lot of information. I put on your desk this evening or as you came in this evening there's a document on mask gatherings. I encourage you to take a look at this when you get a chance. The county board went on record supporting our Public Health staff and supporting the guidelines that we provide. You support Public Health, you support the guidelines and I certainly do as well because I work for you. And part of those guidelines discourage mask gatherings for obvious reasons. And what's the perfect number? I mean this is not a perfect science with 6 feet versus 8 or 10 and should it be 25 people or 50 people but based on local, state and federal Public Health professional input that's how these guidelines were established. So real please that recently we've seen some communities take some very responsible actions to limit the amount of mask gatherings. Very important, very important. And all of us need to lead by example in every area. And in this room today we have over 25 people. Right? But we are essential because you're government and when you're essential just like if you're processing food at Johnsonville or Master Gallery or Sargental there are exceptions for essential workforces or people. Government is essential. So we still do the best we can to keep everybody safe which is why we're here which is why we're social distancing which is why we're respectfully asking everyone to put a mask on for a few minutes. That's why we're here. Right now we had broad days and Dr. Tona and L. Cartley Firemen's Fourth of July we could re-fest Gus Badger at the Monk Shiboyga Summer Festival. We had our veterans take it upon themselves to change some of their programs. All sorts of festivals. Most recently the Shiboyga Coney Fair the Village of Polar Fourth of July celebration a number of things and as you know the riot was canceled. None of us think for the region. 135. 135. I mean we're all looking forward to that. We had so many staff involved with helping prepare for that transportation law enforcement help human services. There's some meetings going on in the last year and a half we just built a new facility at the airport. We'll be cutting the ribbon for the U.S. Customs Facility in the next month or two with a very small gathering. But the riot officials you know ultimately they were thinking well if we're going to hold this it probably won't be with fans. There's no fans. There's no economic impact. So I think most people ultimately close to it and involved it but they were very pleased that it was postponed for a year. The Polar Company released a statement immediately following the decision to postpone the tournament saying it isn't the support of the choice to reschedule. It is in support of the choice to reschedule as the health and well-being of everyone involved is a top priority. PGA CEO Seth Wu said as disappointed as this is our mandate is to do all we can safeguard public health because that's what matters. We're grateful for that leadership. Our guidelines don't require anybody to do anything. So people with businesses need to take responsibility. Everybody says allow us to take our own individual responsibility and do it. And fortunately a lot of people are. The final thing is you have a ordinance before you and the reason this is being pulled with the benefit of some of the folks who don't normally attend a county board meeting is normally it always goes to a committee to the board and back to a committee and for two board meetings we the county board supported an emergency declaration that authorized the county to expend resources as you all know for COVID related expenses personal protective equipment staff contract tracers things like that it allowed up to $500,000 over the course of those two emergency declarations to be expended by yours truly and of course that's done in collaboration with our public health team and the executive committee and others we spent a total of $400,000 to date personal protective equipment contract tracers additional staff for health and human services Rocky Null adjustments such as that all very prudent all directly associated with COVID and I hope most if not all of it will be reimbursed through the state federal government we're actively pursuing that we have about $150 million budget in the county 19 departments from A to Z law enforcement health and human services conservation you name it and when the board takes action and supports that budget the department heads and yours truly are responsible to administer work within that budget and provide those funds, allocate those resources that need as needed to address things whether it's mental health child abuse you name it here in this ordinance we're asking for the county board to support in three areas tonight and the reason it is being pulled is because that second emergency declaration ends today rather than using that state declaration of emergency language which created some angst we all know that in this room created some angst we sought to avoid that and not repeat that and instead this would be an ordinance that will do three things it authorizes the county board chair to convene offsite or virtual county board meetings as needed what's been happening now anticipate this will continue to happen through the rest of this term hopefully we'll be back in the county board chamber sooner rather than later but it gives the county board chair discretion to authorize and convene offsite or virtual county board meetings it allows liaison committees to also meet remotely so if someone's not feeling well they can call in makes a lot of sense in light of all the dealing with and then finally it authorizes to continue to make COVID-19 expenditures as needed if needed but we don't have to spend another penny on COVID but I think we all know in this room that's probably not going to be the case we're probably going to need more personal protective equipment we may need more contact tracers and in instances when things surge we need to be a nimble and respond quickly we don't go back to the county board if there's a roof leak we don't go back to the county board if a boiler breaks down or a heating unit breaks down there is some authorization for us to respond to a need a crisis if there's no heat for building in the winter right this is a crisis this would authorize us to continue to purchase personal protective equipment and other things as needed if needed but we've added with the overview and approval of the executive committee make sure we have a little bit more oversight from policy makers which is great which is just fine so there you have that's what's before you this evening it's here because that declaration is ending and I want to thank everybody for your time and your support this is such a challenging time for all of us I know that many of you are getting calls and emails like I am and from all spectrums and it's difficult and some people have lost patience and kindness some people aren't as mindful as they could be and none of us ask for this but here we are air on the side of caution and protecting this community's health working in collaboration just as we have always done we're going to get through this talking about vaccines that are going to start rolling out hopefully late this year I certainly hope you see mass distribution of them next hopefully come July, August, the next summer or back in the County Board chambers we'll be seeing back to somewhat of the new norm next is consideration of committee reports resolution of the report

motion sir the motion has been made and seconded I believe we have a voice to vote on this to pull it can we have discussion on it can we have discussion on it as soon as it is after it is pulled I believe no I want to talk about the motion to pull I don't want to talk about the motion supervisor Smith yes supervisor Gruber supervisor Schneider supervisor Montemayor supervisor Clark supervisor Nelson supervisor Brunchett supervisor Kostch supervisor Shulbert supervisor Brower supervisor Jorgensen supervisor Riebelbauer supervisor Nene supervisor Kulow supervisor Wagner yes supervisor Kimmel supervisor Ogier supervisor Hoffman supervisor Homelink supervisor Bosman supervisor Velkman supervisor Gehring supervisor Tostruti this Mr. Lake's chair got a stick on my mask I'm looking for Willa Horton I concur with that thank you I always open for debate discussion supervisor Nelson I just wanted to comment on pulling the motion pulling is or was there one time a not very often happened in only in certain circumstances as you recall I think it was two meetings ago I voted against pulling another one on motion I am going to vote for it it's very important to have it but just I don't feel I don't want pulling motions to get to be common I rather have it stay rare I'm not sure that another month to pass this so as you say that's why I voted against pulling the motion I will be voting for it of course it's a very important motion thank you supervisor Nelson for any other discussion they're okay I guess my issue here is this didn't all of a sudden sneak up on us in the last 30 days this could have been addressed it could have gone to committee because that's where the one ifs happen and well is this really the best way to go about this and we didn't do any of that now here we sit if I want to change anything I have to try to convince people in this room to change something and quite honestly I don't have the energy to keep doing that every time we pull something but my issues with this I don't have a problem with people being allowed to attend a meeting remotely I think it's a smart thing to do if people are uncomfortable but I think you also have to have that meeting in a public location so the public can be there and for those of us who absolutely despise remote meetings they should be somewhere to attend it because personally even with a mask it's hard for me to understand people or hear people I spent 25 years in a boundary remote meetings don't work well for me at all I can't hear so I end up with issues with that so I think if this would have gone to committee maybe there would have been something done so that still public access to a meeting a location where people could go where whether it's set up on the screen and members who want to go there are there at the meeting to me that's important as you've heard from a member of the public public meetings should be public not me sitting in my living room and you sitting in your kitchen that's not really a public meeting you don't get the feel for it or anything else about what's going on my other issue don't take the strong way I know but both of us could drop over dead tomorrow so I can't say well I trust Adam as a county administrator this ordinance doesn't just give the county administrator the ability to expend funds with the vote of three members of the executive committee it gives some of the ability to completely alter our budget and what committee or what department had what money because this clearly says reallocate me here I want to say in that if some things can be pulled from the committee that I oversee or from some other committee I feel unfortunately about I want to have a say in that this doesn't give that to me this ordinance clearly says I have to rely on the executive committee to do what hopefully is right for the people I represent that's also not me serving the public so that's why I'm going to vote against this not because there aren't good things in here but I think there's things in here that need to be fixed hearing none we'll need a roll call we'll vote on this supervisor Smith supervisor Gruber supervisor Schneider supervisor Montenegro supervisor Clark supervisor Nelson supervisor Troutcher supervisor Couch supervisor Schubert supervisor Robert supervisor Jorgensen supervisor Siegelbauer supervisor Nettig supervisor Kulow supervisor Wagner supervisor Emel supervisor OJ supervisor Hoffman supervisor Kobling supervisor Bosman supervisor Belton supervisor Gehring supervisor Distrudey this is fast supervisor Distrudey help me with the next order but thank you Mr. Chairman may I move to adjourn Mr. Chairman may I move to adjourn by the second by the way thank you second that motion motion has been made the second to adjourn
