ALLEGIANCE.I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO PLAY 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.
UH, YOU SEE THE MINUTES FROM THE JULY 17TH MEETING IN YOUR PACKET.
UH, ARE THERE ANY CORRECTIONS OR DISCREPANCIES THAT NEED BE, NEED TO BE NOTED? NO.
UM, COUNTY CLERK QUARTERLY REPORT.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MS. RIKER? AND I CAN JUST TOUCH ON SOME OF THEM IF YOU WANT, OR GIVE YOU A, A BRIEF OVERVIEW.
THE, THE, SO THE FIRST ONE THAT
[a. County Clerk Quarterly Report]
ONE'S COMPLETED WE'RE, UM, FULLY FUNCTIONING IN THE FOUR 10 SCHEDULE, UM, FOUR 10 HOUR DAY SCHEDULE.UM, AND WE ARE STILL TRACKING OUR APPOINTMENTS.
UM, AND I WOULD SAY CLOSE TO 45% OF ALL OF OUR APPOINTMENTS ARE OUTSIDE OF NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS.
SO WITHIN THAT MAYBE TWO, TWO AND A HALF HOUR TIME PERIOD, THAT WOULD BE A COMBINATION OF THE MORNING HOURS AND THEN THE AFTERNOON EVENING HOURS.
UM, SO ABOUT 45% OF OUR APPOINTMENTS ARE DONE DURING THAT TIME PERIOD, WHICH IS FANTASTIC.
UM, WE DO RECEIVE QUITE A FEW, UH, INDIVIDUALS FROM OUT OF COUNTY THAT COME IN FOR SERVICES, UH, BECAUSE OF THE HOURS THAT WE'RE OFFERING, WHICH IS, IS GREAT TO SEE.
UM, AND THEN I'M GONNA SKIP RIGHT TO THE SATURDAY HOURS.
UH, I, I'LL TOUCH ON THE, I VOTED STICKER TOO, BUT THE, UM, QUARTERLY SATURDAY HOURS.
WE HAD OUR FIRST SATURDAY IN JULY AND WE, UM, WE WERE OPEN FOR THREE HOURS AND WE SERVED 21 APPOINTMENTS, UH, WHICH WAS A COMBINATION OF PASSPORT APPOINTMENTS AND MARRIAGE LICENSE APPOINTMENTS.
AND MANY OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS OR COUPLES, UH, CAME FROM OUT OF COUNTY.
UM, SO AS FAR AS I KNOW, WE'RE THE ONLY, UH, COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE THAT IS OFFERING SATURDAY HOURS AS OF RIGHT NOW.
AND SO IT DEFINITELY WAS A NEED AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HOW, UM, HOW SUCCESSFUL THE, THE FUTURE SATURDAYS ARE.
UM, BUT SO THAT WAS, THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.
WE DID HAVE, UH, THREE STAFF MEMBERS WORKING AND WE JUST, BESIDES MYSELF AND MARY, WERE, WERE BOTH TECHNICALLY SALARY THE OTHER STAFF MEMBER WHO IS HOURLY, JUST FLEXED HOURS, SO NO OVERTIME WAS PAID EITHER, SO IT WAS DEFINITELY A WIN FOR THE COUNTY AND A WIN FOR THE CONSTITUENTS THAT WERE ABLE TO COME IN.
I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION REGARDING THAT.
UM, SO OBVIOUSLY AS WE CHANGE THINGS AROUND AND WE, WE HAVE A SECURE OPENING MM-HMM.
SATURDAYS, UM, THEY'RE ONLY HERE WHEN THE COURTS ARE OPEN.
SO THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE DISCUSS MOVING FORWARD.
UH, HOWEVER, IT IS JUST AS OF RIGHT NOW, ONE QUARTERLY SATURDAY.
AND SO THAT POTENTIALLY COULD BE SOMETHING THAT'S BUILT TO OUR OFFICE.
WE'RE MAKING REVENUE WHEN WE'RE, UM, ACCEPTING PASSPORT APPLICATIONS AND PROVIDING PASSPORT PHOTOS.
AND THEN WE'RE ALSO MAKING REVENUE WHEN WE'RE DOING MARRIAGE LICENSES AS WELL.
JUST SO IT DOESN'T GET OVERLOOKED, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE DO THAT IN THE FUTURE.
UM, AND THEN THE I VOTED STICKER COMPETITION, UM, THAT THE, THE ONLY THING THAT IS, UH, NEEDED TO HAPPEN YET IS ORDERING OF THE STICKERS AND THEN PROVIDING THEM TO THE MUNICIPALITIES.
UH, BUT AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AWARDED THE FOUR WINNERS AND WE'LL BE ORDERING THE STICKERS FOR EACH OF THE MUNICIPALITIES.
ALL OF THEIR POLLING LOCATIONS WILL HAVE THEM.
UM, AND THEN THEY'LL BE USED FOR NOVEMBER'S ELECTION AND THEN THE ELECTIONS THAT WE HAVE IN 2025, SO THE SPRING ELECTIONS AS WELL.
UM, AND THEN THE LAST THING IS THE ELECTION INTEGRITY PACKAGE.
UH, WE HAVE ORDERED THE HARD SIDED CASES FOR EACH OF THE VOTING MACHINES FOR ALL OF THE MUNICIPALITIES, AND THEY'RE STARTING TO PICK THEM UP NOW, UH, WHICH IS GREAT.
UM, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE BUDGET POLICY AND ANALYTICS DEPARTMENT, UH, REGARDING THE IN-PERSON, ABSENTEE VOTING HOURS, A REIMBURSEMENT AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE FOR NOVEMBER, UH, FOR THE TWO WEEKS LEADING UP TO THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.
UM, SO CURRENTLY WORKING ON THAT, IT SEEMS LIKE WE WILL HAVE, UH, NEARLY ALL OR, OR ALL OF OUR MUNICIPALITIES PARTICIPATING IN THAT IN SOME WAY.
UM, IT'S FANTASTIC TO SEE SOME OF OUR MUNICIPALITIES TAKING IT UPON THEMSELVES TO DO IT ON THEIR OWN
[00:05:01]
IN AUGUST.UM, SO WE DID HAVE A FEW THAT STARTED OFFERING SOME SATURDAY HOURS, UH, JUST BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO DO THAT THEMSELVES.
UM, AND THEN WE ARE ALSO WORKING WITH THE BPA DEPARTMENT, UH, REGARDING THE AUDITS.
AND I THINK AS OF RIGHT NOW, I ONLY KNOW OF ONE OR TWO MUNICIPALITIES THAT ARE PLANNING TO DO AN ELECTION NIGHT AUDIT, UM, OR AT LEAST HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST.
SO WE'LL HAVE TO SEE AS WE GET CLOSER IF WE'LL HAVE MORE THAT ARE WILLING TO DO THAT AS WELL.
SUPERVISOR, KELLY, YOU HAVE A QUESTION? UH, JUST A QUICK ONE, ASHLEY.
THE STICKERS ARE, ARE ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT VARIETIES GOING TO ALL THE MM-HMM.
UM, SO A ROLE WILL HAVE ALL FOUR DESIGNS AND IT'LL GO 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4.
SO THEY'LL, THEY'LL GET ALL OF THEM.
AND WE ARE ALSO PROVIDING TO THE MUNICIPALITIES TO, UH, PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION STICKERS FOR THOSE CONSTITUENTS THAT COLLECT THE, I VOTED IN THE NOVEMBER PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
QUITE A FEW OF OUR MUNICIPALITIES HAD PROVIDED THOSE IN THE PAST, SO WE WANTED TO HAVE THOSE FOR THEM AS WELL.
I NEVER KNEW THAT WAS A THING.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OUR NEXT ITEM IS THE GIS QUARTERLY REPORT.
I DON'T HAVE, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S DOING.
INTERNET'S SLOW MEETING LAST WEEK.
I DON'T HAVE A LOT TO ADD TO THE, UH, THE PACKET PART.
THE REPORT THAT WAS IN YOUR PACKET.
[b. Geographic Information Systems Quarterly Report]
WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THAT DATA.I, I DO THINK THAT WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO RECONFIGURE THESE GOALS AGAIN.
UM, WE'RE STARTING TO LEARN MORE AS WE GET DEEPER INTO IT.
UH, THEY ARE GOING, UH, LIVE ON THE STATE ESNET, I BELIEVE NEXT WEEK.
UM, THEY'RE USING A PHASED APPROACH WITH THAT.
SO THEY'LL BE USING, UM, OUR PROVISIONING BOUNDARY, WHICH DEF DEFINES THE AREA OF, OF DATA RESPONSIBILITY, UM, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY THE COUNTY BOUNDARY EXCEPT FOR THE CITY OF MILWAUKEE PARCEL IS GONNA BE CARVED OUT OF THERE.
AND THEY'RE USING SOME OF OUR OTHER, UM, DISTRICT LAYERS, BUT THEY'RE NOT USING OUR ADDRESSES IN OUR ROAD CENTER LINES YET.
SO AS SOON AS, UH, WE, UM, ACHIEVE CONSISTENCY WITH SOME OF THE LEGACY DATABASES, UM, THEN THEY'LL IMPLEMENT THE SECOND PHASE OF, OF, OF DATA, WHICH WOULD BE OUR ADDRESSES ON OUR ROAD CENTER LINES.
UM, I DID WANNA MENTION THE, UM, HISTORIC TAX ROLL SCANNING.
TREASURER HENKE IS IN THE AUDIENCE.
THAT'S ESSENTIALLY HIS PROJECT, BUT INCLUDED IN MY REPORT, UM, BECAUSE IT'S A LAND INFORMATION FUNDED PROJECT, UM, THAT PROJECT IS ALL BUT DONE.
THERE'S JUST A HANDFUL OF BOOKS THAT WERE MISSED IN SCANNING THE FIRST TIME AROUND AND WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THOSE TO BE, UH, DE UM, DELIVERED BACK TO THE COUNTY AND WE CAN LOAD THOSE INTO THE SYSTEM.
BUT, UM, 98% OR 99%, I MEAN, MOST OF THE BOOKS ARE SCANNED AND THEY'RE ALL AVAILABLE ONLINE THUMB THROUGH AN APPLICATION DEVELOPED BY OUR IT APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT TEAM THAT DID A GREAT JOB ON THAT.
UM, SO THOSE ARE AVAILABLE AVAIL AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
HOPEFULLY, UH, UM, THE PEOPLE WHO NEED ACCESS TO THOSE RECORDS ARE ABLE TO ACCESS THEM MORE CONVENIENTLY NOW.
AND, UH, WITH THOSE RECORDS BEING OUT THERE, HOPEFULLY THAT THEY'RE USED MORE, UM, THAN WHEN THEY WERE JUST LOCKED AWAY IN THE VAULT.
SO, I DUNNO IF YOU'VE HEARD POSITIVE RESPONSES, BUT IT'S NICE TO HAVE THAT PROJECT THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR MANY YEARS.
UM, DEFINITELY JUST UP TO THE FINISH LINE AND WE'LL, WE'LL CROSS THE FINISH LINE AS SOON AS WE GET THOSE, UM, BOOKS RETURNED.
DO WE HAVE ANY INCLINATION ABOUT HOW SOON THAT'LL BE? COULD BE THE REST OF 'EM WERE YOU COULD BE ANY DAY, RIGHT? I MEAN, IT, THEY'RE IN TRANSIT.
I MEAN, IT WAS, IT WAS LITERALLY JUST A HANDFUL OF BOOKS THAT THE SHELLS ARE ANGLE IRON AND THERE WERE A COUPLE BOOKS THAT WERE HIDDEN BEHIND SOME OF THE ANGLES AND IT, I DON'T KNOW, WHATEVER.
WE'LL,
UM, AND THEN THE LAST THING I WANTED TO MENTION IS THAT WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR LAND INFORMATION PLAN REWRITE.
I MET WITH QUITE A FEW OF THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS ON THAT TO TRY TO GET THEIR NEEDS FOR THE LAND INFORMATION PLAN FOR THE NEXT, UH, THREE YEARS, UM, WORTH OF PROJECTS.
UH, THE PLAN WENT TOGETHER PRETTY NICELY.
UM, IT IS CHALLENGING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF DOCUMENTS BEING RECORDED IN THE REGISTER OF DEEDS IS, UM, REALLY HISTORICALLY LOW RIGHT NOW.
SO TO UNDER, TO TRY TO GUESS AS
[00:10:01]
TO WHEN WE'RE GONNA, YOU KNOW, HOW LONG THE REVENUE IS GONNA STAY AT ITS CURRENT LEVEL OR WHEN WE MIGHT, YOU KNOW, APPROACH BACK TO NORMAL.UM, THAT WAS PERHAPS THE MOST CHALLENGING PART.
UM, BUT THIS IS ULTIMATELY JUST A PLAN.
IT'S A, IT'S A LIST OF PROJECTS THAT WE HOPE TO COMPLETE IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS.
UM, IT COVERS 20 25, 26, AND 27.
SO THE 2025 PROJECTS WE ALREADY ANTICIPATED AND, AND INCLUDED THOSE IN THE, UM, IN THE BUDGET THAT YOU WOULD'VE ADOPTED, UM, LAST YEAR.
AND THEN, UH, EVERYTHING THAT'S INCLUDED FOR 26 AND FOR 27, THAT'LL, THAT'LL ALL BE IN THE, IN, IN THE BUDGET THAT YOU'LL HAVE TO APPROVE.
SO, UM, THE PLAN MAKES FUND LENT WLIP FUNDING AN OPTION FOR THOSE PROJECTS, BUT STILL EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO YOUR APPROVED, UM, COUNTY BUDGET.
SO, UM, A LOT OF GOOD CONVERSATION WITH THE DEPARTMENTS, LOTS OF GREAT IDEAS COMING FROM THEM, AND I, I THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE A SOLID PLAN MOVING FORWARD.
SO THOSE ARE THE ITEMS I WANTED TO TOUCH ON, BUT HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S IN THE REPORT THAT WASN'T CLEAR.
DOES ANYONE ON THE COMMITTEE HAVE A QUESTION OR DISCUSSION POINT? NOT AT THIS TIME.
AND THE LAST ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTIONS 15 5, 23 AND 28 RE RELATING TO, UH, THE HOME BOARD ORGANIZATION.
UM, I CAN MAKE A MOTION, MOTION BY SUPERVISOR CHADRON, SECOND BY SUPERVISOR KEL.
[c. 2024 Ordinance: to amend Sections 15-5, 15-23 and 15-28 relating to: Organization, Washington County Home Program Committee and Executive Committee]
THE HOME BOARD, UM, BYLAWS WERE FOUND TO BE NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH OUR CODE.SO THIS IS SIMPLY A CLEANUP BY, UM, I THINK, UH, ATTORNEY STERN'S OFFICE TO BRING THEM IN LINE.
ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? THERE BEING NONE.
UM, THAT BRINGS US TO THE END OF OUR AGENDA.
OUR NEXT MEETING IS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18TH AT 4:00 PM THIS MEETING'S ADJOURNED.
