 I'd like to call to order the Tuesday, October 22nd, Sheboygan County Board of Supervisors meeting. Certification of compliance with the open meeting law. The Board of Generals posted on the 18th of October at 1 p.m. Thank you, John. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. This is a pledge of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Roll call. There are 23 supervisors present. Thank you. You probably, some of you see a new face out here tonight. Jackie Veldman is representing Town of Mitchell. She's new. I wish she replacing Dick Bemis, who, after 39 and a half years, I believe, was moved on. We miss Dick, and welcome, Jackie. Approval of the September 17th, 2019 journal. Survisor Glavin. Thank you, Survisor Glavin. I'm having a little trouble here. I'll second that. Your lights, okay. Thank you. We've had a motion and a second. Is there any discussion? Seeing no discussion. Please push your iron A button. Journals approve unanimously. Thank you. Presentations. We have none. Public addresses. There are none. Letters, communications, and announcements. I have two. One is a resolution from the Wood County Board of Supervisors in support of revising and amending statutes to court fees and costs and probate and juvenile court. We received that before, so we'll receive that for information. The second one is a resolution from Portage County Board of Supervisors in supporting nonpartisan procedure for redistricting. And we obviously received that before, so we'll receive that for information. Thank you. That is all. Thank you, John. County Administrators Report. Good evening. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And good evening, everyone. Welcome, Jackie Veldman. It's good to have you here, and I want to acknowledge Chairman Wagner and Vice Chairman Koch for their selection. I think Jackie is going to be a tremendous addition to our team, and certainly her experience as Chair of the Town of Mitchell bodes well, so welcome. You are joining a pretty accomplished team here in Sheboygan County, Jackie. We have got a track record that we're proud of, and the budget on your desks is a reflection of the collaboration and teamwork that we have in Sheboygan County. We kick off our budget process as the Board knows very well in June. We have our leadership forum. A lot of people have their fingerprints on this. Every committee, every department head, a number of staff. Ultimately, our Finance Committee does the heavy lifting, and I want to recognize Finance Committee Chair Bill Gehring and all the members of the Finance Committee for their good work. On your desk is the proposed 2020 budget. It will be more formally introduced next week and then acted on the following week. But we encourage you to go through it if you're so inclined to get a better feel of some of the departments, perhaps that you weren't as involved in, or if you didn't attend Finance Committee meetings. But my compliments to everyone involved. We are positioned for success with our goal. All of the departments hit the targets, and as you'll be able to read in the budget, we have a number of new initiatives and improvements as well. We respectfully ask that if you have an inclination to make an amendment to the budget following the public hearing next week to please contact the Finance Director or the Corporation Council, hopefully both. So we can be prepared with that amendment and just make sure we have the right language so when a motion is made by you that we're prepared to work in collaboration with the County Clerk's office and get that motion acted on or considered. So again, if you have any amendments in mind, please contact Wendy or Crystal. The last thing I want to say about the budget is you have it at a level five, and what does that mean? Well, it's a pretty high end summary of it. The Finance Committee has seen all of the heavy detail, and there's also a level seven that's out there. So if you go through this and you're like, I want more detail, don't hesitate to go to our Finance Department or again call Wendy, Sharon and our Finance Director and ask for that level seven and we'll provide that to you. And then the last thing I wanted to briefly touch on was Rocky Null. You know, in 19 departments here, providing services from A to Z, I mean, it's just remarkable. 850 employees, over 207 programs and services. We're involved in a lot. We do a lot to help the community be successful. And the longer you're on this county board, the more you recognize that probably the more committees you've served on. As I've shared with some of you, perhaps most of you, you know, my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were all born and raised in Sheboyin County. My grandpa, Forest Payne, was at Rocky Null when it was a TB center. A second cousin of mine, Floyd Payne, lived to be 107, passed away at Rocky Null. One of the oldest male residents to ever live at Rocky Null. And more recently, my mother, it was Eileen Toggy when she grew up on the Century Farm there on TT. Eileen Payne, she had double knee surgery and went through rehab at Rocky Null. I think one thing we all share in this room is how critically important it is. We provide the best service we can to our friends and family members and constituents of Sheboyin County. We don't have to be in the nursing home business. And a number of years ago, we had more beds than any county in the state. We had a comprehensive health care center, Sonny Ridge. I mean, we've done some consolidating and some things that helped us be more fiscally responsible. But I personally, and I think most of you feel this way, Rocky Null is a jewel of a facility. It provides very important care to our family and friends, residents of the community. And if we're going to be in the nursing home business, as far as I'm concerned, we are going to provide the best care that we can possibly provide. And to the credit of Kayla Clinton and all of our employees at Rocky Null, we just had a state survey. And as you can imagine, anytime state surveyors come in and there's five of them, and they're going through everything, everything associated with nursing, dietary, housekeeping, the buildings, the grounds, I mean, they're looking at everything. And that can create a little bit of trepidation, right? Everyone kind of checking things out. And it's not unusual to have some citations because there's always opportunities for improvement. But I am so pleased to share, and I sent an email out to all of you late this afternoon, we had an outstanding state survey, only two citations in our health inspection, only two citations, and to put that in perspective, the average number of citations for a skilled nursing home in Wisconsin is six, and the national average is eight. So this is one of the least number of citations we've ever had. We have a five-star rating, which as you know is the highest rating a nursing home can have, where only one of two nursing homes in the county that has a five-star rating, and this state survey further bolstered that survey, our five-star rating. It's tremendous. So if you see Kayla or you see anyone working at Rocky Mill, give them your congratulations. I mean, again, always opportunities for improvement. We can't rest on our laurels, but I am so proud of Kayla and her team and the good work that's happening at Rocky Mill and the services that are being provided to our community. So we should celebrate some success. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Adam. Okay, consideration of committee reports. Executive committee, resolution number 12.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don't have it in front of me, but the resolution said that this was for tasers and other supplies, something on other items. It wasn't very specific. It was very specific about the tasers. Right. So I'm confused why they would mix the two. It would either be a general or should we have a list specifically? Okay. I don't see the sheriff here. I don't know if anybody can handle that question. That's a reasonable question. I don't have an answer for you. I'm sorry. We didn't expect that one, but nothing wrong with it. Nothing wrong with your question. I know it's a grant, but that's about all I can tell you. Surveyser Epping. This is a grant that we usually get annually that we share with the city, and it goes for general supplies, and sometimes they specify certain items, but it's something that's a usual annual occurrence. Thank you. Okay. That helps, I think. Thank you, Supervisor Epping. Anybody else with a question or comment? Okay. Seeing no lights, please push your aye or nay button. That motion is also approved unanimously. Thank you. Resolution number 14.

Anyways, and consideration of committee reports, human resources committee, a committee report. And your report on health insurance.
