[00:00:01]
A SILENT PRAYER AND A PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG 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.
STARTING OUT, DID EVERYBODY REVIEW THE LAST MINUTES? ANYBODY HAVE ANY CORRECTIONS OR ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE? SEEING NONE, I MARK THOSE APPROVED AS NOTED.
WE'RE GONNA JUGGLE THINGS AROUND A LITTLE BIT, BUT WE WILL START WITH A FACILITIES QUARTERLY REPORT.
YOURSELF? UH, I'M, I'M DOING REALLY WELL.
UM, SO, UM, SO WITH REGARDS TO THE REPORT, I WANNA JUMP TO THE, UH, SECOND PAGE OF THE REPORT AND JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THAT MY DEPARTMENT IS SPENDING ON THESE INITIATIVES, UM, IS WITH REGARDS TO THE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN.
UM, SO WE ARE, UH, WE, THE FUEL ISLAND RELOCATION IS, UM, UNDERWAY.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DRIVE BY THE HIGHWAY SHOP, BUT IT'S COMING ALONG VERY NICELY.
THE CANOPY WENT UP THIS WEEK, UM, AND WE'VE WORKED THROUGH A COUPLE OF LITTLE CHALLENGES, BUT OVERALL IT'S GOING VERY WELL AND WE EXPECT TO HAVE THE, UH, FUEL ISLAND RELOCATED, UM, IN JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS IN SEPTEMBER.
UM, DO YOU FORESEE ANY ISSUES WITH CONTAMINATION IN THE EXISTING SITE, OR KEEP FINGERS CROSSED? SOUNDS GOOD.
WE, WE DON'T, WE DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING, BUT SURE.
UM, UH, OUR EAST PARKING LOT REMODEL STARTS NEXT WEEK, UM, AND THE INTERNAL REMODEL HERE WILL BE STARTING THIS FALL AS WELL.
UM, SO WE'RE DOING A LOT OF PREP WORK WITH THAT, AND IT'S TAKING QUITE A BIT OF OUR TIME.
UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF TIE-INS WITH, UM, WITH OTHER PROJECTS, UM, SUCH AS, UH, SUCH AS SIGNAGE, UH, EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR, UH, CART ACCESS.
UM, UH, WE'RE ALSO WORKING THROUGH THINGS WITH THE, WITH THE UW, UM, TRANSITION AND, UH, AND ALSO EVEN THE RELOCATION OF THE UW EXTENSION.
SO, UM, SO A TON OF OUR TIME IS JUST BUILT INTO ALL OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT HAVE A LOT OF TIE INTO OUR MASTER PLAN, UM, MOVING DEPARTMENTS AROUND YEAH.
SO ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THAT PROJECT? I DON'T.
UM, I'M GONNA JUMP THEN TO THE NEXT ONE, UM, OR TO THE LAST PAGE.
I THINK THIS IS IN YOUR, UM, IN YOUR PACKAGE WITH THE BUILDING AUTOMATION, UM, WHICH IS PART OF OUR MASTER PLAN.
AND I MARKED THIS AS COMPLETE YESTERDAY, BUT IT ACTUALLY COMPLETED TODAY.
UM, SO WE ARE GLAD TO WIPE THAT ONE OFF OF OUR, UH, OFF OF OUR PLATE FOR NOW.
UM, AND THEN THE OTHER TWO, UM, OPEN PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE ON HERE ARE, UH, THE SAFETY TEAM, UM, ONE, AND WE ALSO HAVE, UM, WE ALSO HAVE IMPROVED CUSTOMER FEEDBACK, UM, OUR KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR SCORES, UM, WITH REGARDS TO THE SAFETY, UH, TEAM, WE DO HAVE A TEAM CREATED, BUT THEY'VE KIND OF STALLED OUT, AND I NEED TO GET THAT GOING AGAIN.
UM, I EXPECT BY THE END OF THE YEAR WE WILL HAVE A, UH, A GOOD PROGRAM IN PLACE.
UM, BUT THE, THE TEAM ITSELF HAS STALLED A LITTLE BIT.
UM, AND THEN THE, UH, THE KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR SCORES, UM, OH, RIGHT NOW WE'RE TRACKING ON, UM, ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A PROCESS IMPROVEMENT.
AND, UM, AND THAT ONE IS, THAT ONE IS AT RISK RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE, WE'RE KIND OF STALLED OUT ON DOCUMENTATION REGARDING THAT, SO I'M GONNA NEED TO GET THAT BACK ON TRACK AS WELL.
I ASSUME THE STALL IS BECAUSE YOU'RE MOVING EVERYTHING AROUND FOR REMODELING AND YOU GOT YOUR HANDS FULL A LITTLE BIT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE.
OKAY, NOW WE'RE GONNA JUMP TO COUNTY HIGHWAY Q ACCESS APPEAL.
UM, DO I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND? YES, I WILL NEED A MOTION.
A SECOND, UH, MOTION FROM, UH, SUPERVISOR M**K SECOND FROM SUPERVISOR HARTWIG.
UH, AND KAYLA, I'M NUMBER FIVE ON THE, THE LIST.
UH, I JUST WANNA POINT OUT A COUPLE DIFFERENT THINGS.
FIRST, I WANNA GET YOU ORIENTATED WHERE THIS IS IN THE COUNTY.
UH, THE PROPERTY, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY NOT IN OUR COUNTY.
IT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF COUNTY HIGH COUNTY LINE ROAD.
UP ON THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE STATE HIGHWAY 1 64, THE NEWER QUIKTRIP
[00:05:01]
IN THE LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER, CEMETERY, UPPER LEFT CORNER, A STRIP MALL, IF YOU WILL, ON THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER OR SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION.THE PROPERTY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS, IS THIS LARGER PARCEL, UH, OVER HERE TO THE WEST OF THE QUICKTRIP AND SOUTH OF THE QUICKTRIP.
UH, THE COUNTY LINE ROAD IS SPLIT UP INTO JURISDICTIONS, IF YOU MAY RECALL.
UH, THERE'S A SEGMENTS THAT WE ACTUALLY MAINTAIN AND WE ACTUALLY CONTROL THE ACCESS ON BOTH SIDES OF THOSE ROADWAYS.
THERE'S ALSO SECTIONS THAT WAUKESHA COUNTY MAINTAINS, AS WELL AS CONTROLS ACCESS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROADWAY.
SO THIS HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THOSE SEGMENTS THAT WASHINGTON COUNTY, EVEN THOUGH THE PROPERTY AND THE ACCESS IS IN WAUKESHA COUNTY, UH, WE CONTROL THE ACCESS THROUGH THAT, THROUGH THAT CORRIDOR IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA.
AND THAT'S WHY, I GUESS YOUR QUESTION ABOUT WHY WE WORRIED ABOUT ACCESS DOWN IN WAHA COUNTY, THAT IS WHY, UH, WE ARE LOOKING AT THE WAHA COUNTY PORTION OF THE, OF THE SITE.
AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, UH, SPECIFICALLY, UH, DOING IS IF YOU LOOKED AT THERE, THERE'S A RATHER LONG DRIVEWAY AND A LEFT HAND SIDE.
UH, YOUR ACCESS CONTROL POLICY ALLOWS ONE ACCESS PER PARCEL, UH, SO OBVIOUSLY RATHER LARGE PARCEL.
AND THAT ONE AXIS IN THE FAR WEST SIDE OF THAT PARCEL.
AND IF YOU REMEMBER THE, THE OTHER SCREEN THAT WAS UP, IT WAS, UH, UH, TWO HOMES THAT WERE, UH, SERVICED BY THAT LONGER DRIVEWAY, AS WELL AS THE FARM FIELD THAT'S THERE.
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT THERE ARE TWO HOMES BACK IN THAT, THAT, THAT CORNER.
AND SO WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT DOING AGAIN, UH, JUST GOTTA GET BACK TO RIGHT SCREEN, IS SUBDIVIDING THAT PARCEL OVER HERE TO HAVE A, A COMMON ACCESS FOR THESE TWO THREE ACRE PARCELS.
AND THAT'S 66 FOOT ACCESS EASEMENT WOULD REMAIN FOR THE TWO HOMES, AS WELL AS ACCESS FOR THE FARMER TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE, THE FIELD, UH, TO KEEP PLOWING THAT WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT DOING IS PUTTING UP SOME, SOME BUSINESS CONDOS AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY SOME STORAGE UNITS.
AND SO, UH, THE NEXT PAGE THAT'S IN YOUR, IN YOUR PACKET IS WHAT THAT POTENTIALLY LOOK LIKE.
UH, THE APPLICANT PUT A GREAT, UH, PRESENTATION TOGETHER.
THIS IS THE QUICK TIP DRIVEWAY.
WE WOULD ASK THEM TO EXTEND THAT CENTER TURN LANE FURTHER TO THE WEST.
SO THIS IS THE TOP IS THE CURRENT CONDITION.
THE BOTTOM WOULD BE PROPOSED, UH, AND WHAT YOU DO IS EXTENDING THAT MIDDLE LANE, SO THAT TURN LANE WOULD BE THERE AND THEN TURN LANES INTO THE PROPERTY.
SO A VERY SIMILAR OR ALMOST EXACT, UH, ACCESS AS WHAT IS GOING INTO QUICKTRIP.
UH, THAT WAY WE DON'T HAVE TO, THE TRAFFIC THAT'S IN THE WESTBOUND LANE CAN STAY IN THE CURRENT WESTBOUND LANE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A BYPASS LANE, ALL KIND OF STUFF.
AND WE'RE, UM, APPRECIATIVE THAT, UH, THE DEVELOPER WAS, WAS WILLING TO, TO LOOK AT THAT AS AN OPTION, OBVIOUSLY, VERSUS, UH, PUTTING A TURN LANE IN THAT WOULD THEN MOVE TRAFFIC AS WELL AS THEN POTENTIALLY GET ROAD CLOSER TO THE PERSON THAT LIVES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD RIGHT THERE.
AND SO WE DO HAVE SOME STIPULATIONS INSIDE THE REPORT, UH, THAT WE'D BE LOOKING AT, UH, AS WELL AS YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO ADHERE TO THAT, YOU KNOW, NO FURTHER ACCESS POINTS.
THEY ALREADY HAVE TWO, SO THAT'S ONE MORE THAN THAN ALLOWABLE.
AND THEN SOME MAKING SURE WE'RE GETTING THE, THE RIGHT CERTIFIED SURVEY MAP, THE DEDICATION OF RIGHT OF WAY ENGINEERING PLANS, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
SO WE DIDN'T WANT THEM TO GO THROUGH AND DO ALL THE ENGINEERING PLANS TO SPEND ALL THAT MONEY IF THE COMMITTEE DECIDED NOT TO GRANT THE ACCESS.
SO WE WOULD REVIEW THAT AS STAFF AND TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, IT ALL MEETS, MEETS STANDARDS JUST LIKE WE DID WITH QUICKTRIP WAS IN, UH, A COUPLE YEARS AGO NOW, I BELIEVE IT WAS.
SO, SO THAT, UH, THE, THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT'S RECOMMENDING THAT THE, UH, PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE APPROVE THIS WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT ARE LISTED INSIDE THE REPORT, AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
MY ONLY QUESTION IS, YOU, OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH THIS THEN, RIGHT? CORRECT.
AS FAR AS THEIR SITE VISIBILITY IS GOOD, YES.
AND EVERYTHING, YES, SITE, SITE VISIBILITY IS GOOD.
WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING WITH THE, UH, I'LL CALL IT THE DEVELOPER IN THE ROOM RIGHT NOW IS APPRECIATIVE THAT HE WAS ABLE TO MEET WITH US IN PERSON.
IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN GOING THROUGH EMAILS BACK AND FORTH AND BACK AND FORTH.
I APPRECIATE HIM COMING TO OUR OFFICE AND, AND TALKING US THROUGH WITH HIM AND COMING UP WITH A SOLUTION THAT WAS, UH, WORKABLE FOR BOTH US AND, AND FOR HIM.
SO WE, WE APPRECIATE THAT, UM, IMMENSELY.
SO, UH, YES, WE'RE, IT MEETS ALL OF OUR STANDARDS.
IT'S, IT'S A SEMI-URBAN SECTION.
IT'S A LOWER SPEED LIMIT, THAT SECTION.
UH, WE WILL BE RECONSTRUCTING KIND OF HEAVY QI THINK IT'S IN 2031 MAYBE OR SO.
UH, SO WE DO HAVE SOME, SOME PLANS FOR THAT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY.
SO, UH, WE'RE NOT INCREASING THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN WE DO THAT EITHER.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? WELL, THAT'S PRETTY EASY.
NOW WE WILL, LET'S SEE, SCRAMBLING UP.
WE WILL MOVE INTO 2025 RESOLUTION, UH, AUTHORIZING WASHINGTON COUNTY, UH, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT, UH, FOR THE TOWN OF TRENTON.
I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND MOTION BY SUPERVISOR OF SALAK, SECOND BY SUPERVISOR HARTWIG.
OTHERWISE IT'S UP ON YOUR SCREEN.
ALRIGHT, GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.
I'M ERIC MESSA FROM COUNTY IT.
SO, UM, YEAH, WE'RE CONTINUING TO PROGRESS WITH
[00:10:01]
THE ONBOARDING OF, UH, IT SHARED SERVICE, UH, MUNICIPALITIES, UH, TOWN OF TOWN OF TRENTON.UH, WE MET WITH HIM THIS MONTH TO PRESENT, UH, THE SERVICES WE HAD TO OFFER, UM, AND WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE, AND THEY SOUNDED VERY ENTHUSIASTIC, SO THAT'S, THAT'S GOOD.
UM, SO AT THIS POINT, WE'RE READY TO MOVE FORWARD.
THEY ARE SMALLER, SO I THINK, UH, THEY'RE EASIER TO, UM, ONBOARD AND TAKE UNDER OUR UMBRELLA OF IT T-SHIRT SERVICES, SO.
AND, UH, OBVIOUSLY YOU'LL STAY THERE FOR THE NEXT ONE THEN, TOO.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE WENT THROUGH THESE A FEW TIMES.
CHAIRMAN SCH LIFE, I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I NOTICE IN THE RESOLUTION, UM, LINE 42 ON PAGE ONE, IT SAYS THE WASHINGTON EXECUTIVE, AND IT SHOULD BE WASHINGTON COUNTY EXECUTIVE.
I BELIEVE IT'S THE SAME IN THE NEXT RESOLUTION AS WELL.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE, WE'LL, UH, UH, VOTE ON THE, UH, MODIFIED, UH, LINE THERE.
ANY OPPOSED? AND THAT MOTION CARRIES.
AND NOW I NEED A, A, A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR RESOLUTION FOR THE SAME THING FOR THE TOWN OF HARTFORD.
THAT'D BE MOTION OR RESOLUTION.
G, MOTION SUPERVISOR, M**K, AND A SECOND SUPERVISOR OF SALAK.
AND THE FLOORS ARE YOURS AGAIN.
THIS ONE'S, UH, KIND OF IN THE SAME BOAT, A SMALLER MUNICIPALITY, A COUPLE USERS, COUPLE COMPUTERS.
UM, THIS'LL, THIS'LL BE, UH, NUMBER NINE, PUTTING US ON THE LIST FOR, UH, UH, IT SHARED SERVICE MUNICIPALITIES.
UM, AND AFTER THAT, I THINK, UM, WE ARE PRETTY MUCH AT OUR, I GUESS, CAPACITY FOR MAINTAINING, UH, THE, THE LEVEL OF, UH, SERVICE THAT WE'VE BEEN PROVIDING.
SO IF ANY MORE COME IN, IN THE FUTURE, WE MIGHT HAVE TO RETHINK YES, REEVALUATE AT THAT TIME, MAN.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM ANYBODY? IT BRINGS UP A POINT HOW MANY, HOW MANY MORE POSSIBLES ARE OUT THERE? UH, TOTAL THERE WERE 19, I BELIEVE.
SO WE'RE, THIS WILL PUT US HALFWAY, HALFWAY POINT HALFWAY.
SO AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WE'D BRING ANY MORE, WE'RE GONNA NEED TO, UM, LOOK AT EXPANDED SERVICE OR WHAT, WHAT, YEAH.
SO, UH, TO, TO ANSWER THIS, WE HAVE TALKED TO, UM, VILLAGE OF RICHFIELD.
WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY GO OUT THERE, I THINK IT'S NEXT WEEK MM-HMM
UM, TO MEET WITH THEM TO DISCUSS FUTURE SERVICES.
WE DO HAVE INTEREST FROM THE VILLAGE OF GERMANTOWN.
UM, THERE'S FUTURE INTERESTS, MAYBE NOT IN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO, BUT FROM, UH, VILLAGE OF JACKSON, POSSIBLY.
SO, BUT IMMEDIATE INTEREST, WE HAVE, UH, VILLAGE OF RICHFIELD AND VILLAGE OF GERMANTOWN, WHICH ARE LARGER.
SO AT THAT POINT, I MAY ASK FOR MORE RESOURCES.
UM, BUT YEAH, I THINK THIS, LIKE ERIC SAID, THIS WOULD TAP US OUT AT OUR, AT OUR RESOURCES RIGHT NOW.
IS THAT SOMETHING, UH, THAT WE HAVE FIGURED INTO BUDGET THEN
UH, BUT IT IS ONE THING THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH, UH, THE EXECUTIVE TEAMS ON AS WELL, AND THEY'RE AWARE OF THAT.
JOEL WAER POINTED OUT, UH, YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE AT NINE, I'LL CALL IT THE HALFWAY POINT, SOME ONES THAT ARE LEFT, AS YOU MENTIONED, ARE SOME OF THE LARGER COMMUNITIES.
YOU CAN IMAGINE ADDING ON A, A CITY OF, HARTFORD CITY, WEST BEND, VILLAGE OF GERMANTOWN, VILLAGE OF RICHFIELD, VILLAGE OF JACKSON, VILLAGE OF SLINGER, A LITTLE BIT OF LARGER COMMUNITIES VERSUS A, A TOWN OF WAYNE, TOWN OF JACKSON.
SO JUST UNDERSTAND THERE'S A, A DEFINITELY A, A DIFFERENCE IN, UM, STAFFING LEVELS FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES VERSUS SURE.
SO EVEN, SO, WE'RE AT HALFWAY, UM, IT'S, IT'S NOT LIKE HALF OF THE STAFF THAT WE WOULD NEED TO COMPLETE THE REST OF THE, THE WORK FOR THE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES.
I MEAN, WOULD, WOULD IT WORK BETTER IF WE STAGGERED IT A LITTLE BIT MORE? OR IS THAT AN OPTION? OR IS IT STILL GONNA CREATE THE SAME PROBLEM? YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE IT, IT'S, I'M ASSUMING THE UPFRONT STUFF IS THE, THE BUSY TIME.
THEN ONCE YOU GET IT ESTABLISHED, IT'S A MAINTENANCE THING AND MAY NOT REQUIRE AS MANY HOURS FOR THE MAINTENANCE PART.
UH, FOR SOME OF THE SMALLER ONES, YES.
BUT, UM, WE'VE NOTICED WITH THE, SOME OF THE LARGER, LIKE VILLAGE OF KIOSK RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR BIGGER ONES, THEY DO STILL MAIN, UH, REQUIRE US TO, UM, SUPPORT THEM A LITTLE MORE.
SO, UH, I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE CASE WITH THE OTHER LARGER ONES AS WELL.
AND JUST TO NOTE WITH THESE, WITH THESE LARGER MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAVE POLICE DEPARTMENTS WITH MULTIPLE, YOU KNOW, OFFICERS, IT, IT DOES REQUIRE MORE WORK.
UM, I MEAN, I THINK IF, IF WE JUST LOOK AT OUR SHERIFF'S OFFICE, ALL THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WE HAVE AND THE SQUADS AND THE BODY CAMS AND ALL THAT,
[00:15:01]
THAT IS EXTRA WORK THAT WE ABSORB WITH THESE MUNICIPALITIES.SO THE VILLAGE HALL MAY, MAY BE A LITTLE, BUT THE, THE PD USUALLY HAS MORE REQUESTS COMING IN.
WELL, IT'S INTERESTING 'CAUSE LIKE I SAID, THIS IS NEW TO EVERYBODY, RIGHT? MM-HMM
SO AS WE GET INTO THIS, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THESE GLITCHES FROM TIME TO TIME, SO WE HAVE TO BUDGET ACCORDINGLY THEN.
BUT I, I DO AGREE WITH YOU ON YOUR, YOU KNOW, THE STAGGERING METHOD.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE IF WE LOOK AT A, YOU KNOW, LIKE A, A GERMAN TOWN IN A, IN A RICH FIELD, OKAY, HEY, THAT'S GOOD FOR 26, MAYBE 27 MM-HMM
AND THEN LET'S LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, A JACKSON AND THEN A, A HARTFORD AND, AND SO ON.
I MS JUST IT IN THERE IT SAYS, UM, THE SERVICE WILL BE FUNDED WITHIN THE COUNTY'S SHARED REVENUE GRANT PROGRAM.
IS THERE EVER A CONCERN THAT WE'RE TAKING ON ALL THIS, IT'S GONNA USE UP THAT GRANT PROGRAM AND, UM, SHARED REVENUE GRANT AND WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE THE FINANCES.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? I MEAN, DOES THAT, THAT MAKE SENSE? BECAUSE THAT FUND HAS GOTTA BE, IT SAYS COUNTY SHARED REVENUE GRANT PROGRAM.
IF WE BRING ON MORE, IT'S GONNA COST US MORE AND MORE PEOPLE.
IS THERE A CONCERN THERE THAT WE COULD USE THAT GRANT FUND UP? YES.
I MEAN, CAN I ANSWER THAT FOR YOU? OF COURSE.
UH, IF YOU WANT A, A BETTER ANSWER, AARON DAHL IS ONLINE, UH, WHO HANDLES OUR BUDGET TEAM, AND HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BETTER FLAVOR FOR, FOR AN ANSWER.
AARON, IS THAT A GOOD NEWS?
I MEAN, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS SHARED REVENUE GRANT PROGRAM, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT LIKE GRANT REVENUE THAT WE GET OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT THE SALES TAX AND SOME OF THE OTHER STUFF THAT WE'VE ALLOCATED TO ASSISTING OUR MUNICIPALITIES IN SHARED SERVICES, RIGHT? SO FOR US TO, TO, UM, FUND ROAD WORK, UH, FROM THE HIGHWAY SHOP FOR MUNICIPALITIES, WE HAD TO PUT SALES TAX IN THAT BUDGET, RIGHT? SO, YOU KNOW, THE CONCERN CERTAINLY IS, RIGHT? WE, WE DON'T HAVE ADDITIONAL REVENUE TO KIND OF CONTINUE TO DEDICATE AT THE CLIP THAT WE WERE GOING RIGHT, IN 22 AND 23.
AND SO NOW WE'VE GOTTA BE A LITTLE BIT MORE DELIBERATE AND A LITTLE BIT MORE PHASED IN, AS YOU WERE REFERENCING, UH, ABOUT HOW WE DO THESE THINGS.
SO, SO YOUR YOUR CONCERN IS, IS SPOT ON, AND, UH, AND WE SHARE IT.
SO, SO THEN THAT'S A CONVERSATION WE HAVE TO HAVE WITH THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE, RIGHT? I MEAN, I WOULD SAY DURING THIS BUDGET CONVERSATION, THAT'S YES.
WOULD WE EVER WORK INTO THE AGREEMENT CHARGING THE COUNTIES AS THE, THE, THE SMALL MUNICIPALITIES THAT WE'RE SERVICING A SMALL FEE FOR THESE SERVICES TO HELP FUND THAT? I, THAT, I DUNNO IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
I WELL, KIND OF DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THAT.
I MEAN, BUT AT ONE POINT, THE FUND IS GONE.
HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO FUND THESE PROGRAMS AND BRING THESE PEOPLE ON? THERE'S, THERE'S, THERE'S 10 MORE MUNICIPALITIES OUT THERE THAT MIGHT COME ON IF THAT FUND IS GONE.
HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE FUND THAT FUND? YOU HAVE TO, RIGHT? IT, IT, IT IS A, YOU HAVE TO BRING MORE MONEY IN TO DO THAT, RIGHT? WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
WHERE ARE YOU GONNA GET THAT FROM? WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY I SAY IT'S A CONVERSATION TO HAVE WITH THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE, RIGHT? IT'S NOT JUST AS, AS, UH, AARON DO POINTED OUT, IT'S NOT JUST THIS PROGRAM WITH A SALES TAX, RIGHT? IT'S, IT'S A ROAD PROJECT, SHARED PLANNER, SHARED GIS.
SO IT'S, IT'S A MULTI-LEVEL, MULTI CABINET MEMBER, UH, ISSUE THAT THAT'S GOING ON.
SO, BUT IT IS THE SALES TAX MONEY THAT'S FUNDING MOST OF THAT.
SO IF'S REALLY PART OF THE SALES TAX CONVERSATION, RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS ONE OF MY FEARS FROM THE BEGINNING.
I KNEW WE'D GET TO THIS POINT, I JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW FAST IT WOULD GET TO THERE, UH, THAT WE'D HAVE TO THINK ABOUT, OKAY, WE, HOW FAR DO WE, HOW SERIOUS DO WE WANT TO GET? AND HOW FAR DO WE WANT TO GO? RIGHT? RIGHT.
AND THAT IS PART OF OUR CONVERSATION.
I THINK WE BEAT THIS DEAD HORSE HERE.
ALL, UH, ALL APPROVES SAY AYE.
ANY OPPOSED? THAT MOTION CARRIES.
OKAY, NOW NUMBER FIVE, WE'RE GOING TO BACK UP TO B TRANSIT RIDERSHIP REPORT.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE, UH, OH, THERE, THERE WE GO.
LOOKS LIKE THE NUMBERS BOUNCED UP A LITTLE BIT, HUH? FOR, FOR JULY.
IS THERE ANY PRESENTATION YOU WANTED TO GIVE, OR JUST YOU JUST WANT TO TAKE QUESTIONS? UH, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE, THE FAIRS ARE DOWN.
THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE CYCLE, UH, AGENCIES, ORDER FAIRS, YOU'LL SEE IN LIKE JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, THERE'S KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, A, A DIP THERE, AND THEN IT, SO NEXT MONTH YOU'LL SEE KIND OF A, A RISE THERE THAT'S SIMILAR TO JANUARY AND FEBRUARY.
[00:20:01]
THAT'S WHY FARES LOOK, UH, SIGNIFICANTLY DOWN IN, IN JULY.IT WAS JUST A TIMING, UH, OF, OF ORDERS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE RIDERSHIP REPORT? SEEING NONE, WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.
I'M LOSING SIGHT HERE IN H UH, SET 2026 SERVICE HOURS FOR THE SHARED RIDE TAXI.
DO WE NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR THAT, OR IS THAT JUST A DISCUSSION MOTION? THANK YOU.
GOT A MOTION FROM SUPERVISOR HARTWIG.
UH, SO THE SHARED RIDE TAXI PROGRAM PROVIDES DOOR TO DOOR TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE IN WASHINGTON COUNTY THROUGH A THIRD PARTY PROVIDER.
UH, THE CONTRACT IS BILLED ON A PER SERVICE HOUR BASIS, ALLOWING, UH, MULTIPLE VEHICLES TO OPERATE AT ONCE.
UH, THE CURRENT MAXIMUM ANNUAL SERVICE LEVEL IS SET AT 58,000 HOURS.
UH, THAT'S ALSO USED FOR BUDGET PLANNING AND GRANT APPLICATIONS.
SO WE'RE PROPOSING TO CHANGE THE MAXIMUM AUTHORIZED HOURS, UH, BEGINNING IN 2026.
UH, THIS ADJUSTMENT WOULD REDUCE THE PLAN SERVICE LEVEL FROM 58,000 HOURS TO 53,000 HOURS.
ALIGNING WAS THE ACTUAL USAGE, UH, OBSERVED, OBSERVED IN 2024, AND, UH, PROJECTED FOR 25.
SO IN, IN 24, THE SHARED RIDE TAXI PROGRAM DELIVERED APPROXIMATELY 52,500 SERVICE HOURS.
AND CURRENT RIDERSHIP PROJECTIONS PER 25 ARE SIMILAR TO 24.
UH, SO THIS CHANGE WOULD JUST ALIGN WITH THE SERVICE LEVELS, UH, AND ACTUAL USAGE.
AND SO, ACCORDING TO THE, UH, FAIR INCREASE IN SERVICE REDUCTION POLICY, A SERVICE REDUCTION OF LESS THAN 10% IS CONSIDERED A MINOR SERVICE CHANGE.
AND SO THE A APPRO, THE PROPOSED ADJUSTMENT REDUCES THE HOURS BY ONLY 5,000, WHICH IS JUST A 8.6% DECREASE.
UH, EARLIER THIS MONTH, WE ISSUED A PUBLIC NOTICE ON OUR WEBSITE, AS WELL AS FLYERS IN THE TAXI.
UH, IT INCLUDED INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING WRITTEN OR EMAILED COMMENTS.
UH, WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY, UH, COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC.
UH, THE ATTACHMENTS ARE, UH, THE MONTHLY STATISTICAL REPORT THAT'S FROM, THAT'S FROM LAST MONTH, UH, WHICH INCLUDES THE 24, UH, UH, SERVICE HOURS, AS WELL AS, UH, CURRENT 20.
WELL, THEN CURRENT, UH, JUNE, AS OF JUNE, UH, 2025 RIDERSHIP.
AND THEN ATTACHMENT B IS THE FAIR INCREASE IN SERVICE REDUCTION POLICY.
AND EXHIBIT C IS THE FLYER WE PUT IN THE TAXIS AND ON OUR WEBSITE.
NOW, IF YOU CAN RUN ME THROUGH THE PROCESS HERE.
SO, SO WE VOTED ON A COMMITTEE, DOES IT THEN GO TO THE FULL BOARD, OR IS THIS JUST, THIS IS JUST A REDUCTION.
SO IT JUST GOES THROUGH COMMITTEE, AND AGAIN, YOU'RE ALIGNING TO WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY USING.
SO WE'RE NOT REALLY CUTTING SERVICES PER SE OTHER THAN OUR, OUR TOP ALLOWANCE.
WE ONLY USED 52,500 OR SO OF THOSE SERVICE HOURS.
WE'RE TRACKING AGAIN FOR ABOUT 53, 50 3000 THIS YEAR.
AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT LINING, MAKING SURE EVERYTHING LINES UP WITH THAT GOING INTO THE BUDGET SEASON AS WELL.
SO THERE, THERE SHOULDN'T BE AN IMPACT IN SERVICE WITH, WITH THIS.
SO BASED ON OUR CURRENT RIDERSHIP TRENDS THAT THIS COMMITTEE HAS BEEN LOOKING, LOOKING AT FOR, FOR SEVERAL YEARS, SO EVEN THOUGH ONE MONTH, I MEAN, WE WENT UP SEVERAL RIDES THIS MONTH.
SO, I MEAN, EBBS AND FLOWS, BUT NOT A GREAT INCREASE.
AND THIS IS GONNA BE EFFECTIVE FOR A TWO YEAR BUDGET CYCLE THEN? OR ARE WE JUST DOING IT ONE YEAR AT A TIME? WELL, IT WOULD BE IN EFFECT STARTING JANUARY ONE FOR, FOR 2026.
AND THEN IF THIS BODY DECIDES TO MAKE ANY CHANGE UP OR DOWN, THEN THAT WOULD COME BACK TO YOU AS A DECISION POINT.
SO THIS WOULD BE IN EFFECT, IT COULD BE IN EFFECT FOR THREE YEARS, FIVE YEARS, 10 YEARS UNTIL THIS COMMITTEE LOOKS AT AND DECIDES AGAIN.
BUT YOU'RE BASING OUR TWO YEAR CYCLE ON THE, THESE HOURS.
WE'LL BE, WHEN YOU SEE THE BUDGET LATER ON.
AND THE BUDGET, UH, COMING UP, IF YOU APPROVE THIS TODAY MM-HMM
AND ALL THE BUDGET STUFF, YOU'LL SEE FROM HERE ON OUT, WE'LL BE SHOWN AS 53,000 HOURS.
THAT'S WHY WE'D LIKE THIS AGENDA ITEM FIRST BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET LATER ON.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE ALL APPROVED, SAY AYE.
[00:25:01]
DISCUSSION.NOW WE, I DUNNO, AARON, DID YOU WANNA TEE THESE UP OR DO YOU WANT ME TO TEE THIS UP? UM, SURE, I CAN, I CAN JUST KIND OF TOUCH, TOUCH ON THE, THE PURPOSE OF THESE, RIGHT.
SO EVERY STANDING COMMITTEE, UM, THIS MONTH IS, IS HEARING, UM, AT LEAST ONE, MAYBE A COUPLE BUDGET ITEMS. UM, YOU KNOW, SHARED RIDE TAXI AND THE, AND THE BRIDGING CULVERT AID BEING THE ONES FOR, FOR PUBLIC WORKS.
UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'VE HAD OUR BUDGET MEETINGS IN AUGUST, UM, AND, AND, YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF, OF IMPORTANT PUBLIC POLICY ITEMS HAVE KIND OF RISEN TO THE TOP.
UM, WHETHER IT'S PUBLIC POLICY CHANGES, WHETHER IT'S, UM, YOU KNOW, RFPS THAT ARE OUT THAT COULD CHANGE THE, THE MIX AND THE FUNDING, UH, NEEDS.
SO WE JUST WANTED TO TAKE THESE, UM, TO STANDING COMMITTEE THESE LARGER ISSUES, UM, AHEAD OF TIME SO THAT YOU CAN, YOU CAN HEAR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEM, AND THEN HAVE A CHANCE TO KIND OF THINK AND DIGEST, UM, PRIOR TO, UH, NEXT MONTH WHEN YOU'LL HEAR AND TALK ABOUT, UM, THE ACTUAL BUDGETS, UM, THAT ARE IN HERE.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS YOUR, YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF PROVIDE YOUR, YOUR INPUT, ASK QUESTIONS, UM, AND, AND THEN USE THAT TO KIND OF, UH, THINK ABOUT FOR THE, FOR THE NEXT MONTH.
UM, SO THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SHARE, BUT I DID WANNA MAKE SURE THAT I'M HERE TO LISTEN AND, UH, BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU'VE GOT THEM.
SO, UH, WITH THAT, I'D, I'D KICK IT OFF TO, UH, SCOTT OR SCOTT AND CHARLIE, SCOTT, YOU HAVE ANY MORE TO ADD TO THAT? UH, YES.
UH, IN THE, THE CURRENT BUDGET PACKET, UH, THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, THAT WENT BEFORE, UH, THE BOARD CHAIR AND, AND THE COMMITTEE CHAIR HERE, UH, WE WERE LOOKING AT, UH, FULLY FUNDING THE SHARED RIGHT TAXI SERVICE FOR THE NEXT TWO YEAR CYCLE BASED ON NOW THE 53,000 HOURS.
UH, THIS IS A SERVICE THAT'S INCREASED IN, IN, UM, COST OVER THE LAST YEAR.
WE ARE ANTICIPATING THAT TO GO UP AGAIN IN 26, UH, THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO.
SO, UM, SO CHARLIE, I'LL HAVE A SPREADSHEET, UH, THAT HE IS GONNA SHARE WITH YOU.
WE'LL TRY NOT TO GET LOST TOO MUCH IN THE NUMBERS, BUT JUST WANTED TO SHARE, UH, WHAT THAT, UH, POTENTIAL BUDGET WOULD LOOK LIKE.
UH, ONE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IS THAT, UH, TRANSIT, AS YOU KNOW, IS, UH, HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED BY THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
BUT ON, ON TOP OF THAT, UH, WE DID RECEIVE ARPA FUNDS, UH, THAT WILL BE RUNNING OUT IN THIS NEXT BUDGET CYCLE.
UH, WE HAD A, A TRUST FUND, UH, OF FUNDING THAT WILL BE RUNNING OUT IN THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE OR, OR THEREABOUTS, AS WELL AS WE HAD SOME, UH, A TRUST FUND FOR VEHICLE PURCHASES.
WE'LL ALSO RUN OUT IN THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE.
AND SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE HERE IS OUR NEXT BUDGET CYCLE, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU, YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, AND WE DID SHARE THIS WITH THE EXECUTIVE AND THE BUDGET TEAM, THAT, UH, THERE'LL BE ANOTHER PINCH POINT, IF YOU WILL, IN THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE, BECAUSE A LOT OF THE FIXES THAT YOU SEE NOW JUST TO GET DOWN TO A $400,000 LEVEL VERSUS THE PREVIOUS 310,000, UH, BECOMES SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER, UH, IN THE OUT YEARS.
NOW, NOT TO SAY WE CAN'T DO SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE HOURS OF SERVICE, THE HOURS THAT WE'RE PURCHASING, UH, FARES, ALL KIND OF STUFF, BUT JUST KIND OF POINTING OUT THAT RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT, UM, SOME MODIFICATIONS TO OUR, OUR BUDGET TO ACTUALLY FULLY FUND THAT, SHARE OUR TAXI OVER THE NEXT TWO YEAR CYCLE.
WITH THAT, I'LL SHARE, UH, CHARLIE WILL SHARE HIS SCREEN, UH, WHICH HAS A, A NICE SPREADSHEET HE PUT TOGETHER AND SHARED WITH, WITH THE BUDGET TEAM AS WELL.
AND, AND, UH, HE'LL, THAT'S A ZOOM THAT IN A LITTLE BIT, UM, TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN ALL, UH, SEE THE NUMBERS UP THERE.
BUT WHAT HE'S GOT IN FRONT OF YOU IS OUR, OUR PROJECTED 26 AND 27 BUDGET, AND KINDA SHOWING YOU WHERE, WHERE 25, UH, LAID IN.
SO YOU'LL SEE THE, UH, COLUMN E IN THE MIDDLE THERE.
CAN YOU GO A LITTLE BIT LARGER, MAYBE CHARLIE? YEAH, MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, AND I'LL CHARLIE KINDA ROLL THROUGH THE, THE SPREADSHEET FOR YOU.
ALSO, UH, KEEP IN MIND, WE ARE CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH AN RFP PROCESS, UH, FOR THE SHARED RIDE TAXI.
SO THE CONTRACT RATE IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN.
UH, WE DID OUR, UH, BEST ESTIMATIONS FOR BASED OFF OF A COMPARABLE SHARED RIDE TAXI PROPOSALS DONE IN THE, UH, DONE RECENTLY.
UH, SO WE'RE CURRENTLY REVIEWING, BUT THAT WE DON'T HAVE, UH, THE PRICE FOR THE NEXT, UH, TWO YEARS RIGHT NOW.
SO THIS IS, UM, A PLACEHOLDER PRICE UNTIL WE HAVE THE ACTUAL PRICE FOR THE CONTRACT.
SO THIS COULD CHANGE, UH, AFTER THAT.
WHAT IF WE HAVE A SHOCK AND AWE
[00:30:01]
WE'LL BRING THAT TO YOU IN SEPTEMBER IF WE HAVE THATUH, SO RIGHT NOW, UH, SO WE, WE DON'T, UH, HAVE THE NUMBERS PER SE, TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY.
SO, UM, AGAIN, THIS IS KIND OF OUR BEST GUESS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THAT WAS $40 NOW, 45, ROUGHLY AT 10% INCREASE IS WHAT WE'RE KIND OF ESTIMATING, AGAIN, BASED ON WHAT OTHER SIMILAR SERVICES ARE, ARE SEEING OUT THERE IN THE PUBLIC.
SO, UH, THAT'S OUR BEST GUESS, AND IF WE HAVE AN AN OMI MOMENT, UH, WE WILL BRING THAT BACK TO YOU NEXT MONTH,
SO IN HERE WE HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, THE BIGGEST EXPENSE, WHICH IS THE, UH, OH WAIT, THAT'S DOWN HERE.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL, WHICH COVERS THE, THE BIGGER EXPENSES, THE OPERATING, UH, EXPENSES AND THE, AND THE CONTRACT, THE GRANT FUNDING, PUBLIC CHARGES FOR SERVICES.
UH, SO THAT IS FAIRES, YOU'LL SEE IT'S LOWER.
UH, BUT THAT IS BASED OFF OF A, UH, LET'S, IT'S BASED OFF OF THE JUNE, UH, FAIR, THE AVERAGE, UH, FAIR PER SERVICE HOUR.
SO WITH REDUCING HOURS, I CALCULATED IN, UH, YOU KNOW, A FAIR RECOVERY, UH, UH, UH, CHANGE, UH, JUST TO, TO HAVE A CAREFUL ESTIMATION.
UH, FOR, FOR THE FAIRS, UH, OTHER FINANCING SOURCES.
LET'S SEE, THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE, UH, WITH THE TRANSIT FUND THERE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT'S THE, UH, THAT'D BE THE SHARED RIDE, TAXI CONTRACT, UH, TRAVEL AND TRAINING.
UM, PART OF THE, UH, WISCONSIN, UH, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ASSOCIATION, EVERY ONCE A YEAR THEY HAVE A, A CONFERENCE, UH, UH, LOCALLY WITHIN THE STATES.
THAT'S JUST A, THAT'S BEEN THE BUDGETED AMOUNT.
THERE'S ALSO A, UH, UH, A FEE FOR BEING A PART OF THAT ASSOCIATION.
UM, LET'S SEE, INTERGOVERNMENTAL THAT IS, UH, FUEL CHARGES.
UH, SO THAT'S DETERMINED BY, UH, CENTRAL FUELED AS PART OF THEIR BUDGET PROCESS.
THAT'S, UH, SET FOR US, UH, OUTLAY THAT IS THE VEHICLES.
UH, SO AS SCOTT MENTIONED, THEY'LL BE PART OF THE, UH, UH, THE TRUST FUND, UH, FROM THE STATE THAT WE HAVE THAT COVERS THE LOCAL SHARE FOR VEHICLES.
SO THAT WILL RUN OUT, UH, I BELIEVE AFTER, YOU KNOW, DE DEPENDING ON VEHICLE PRICES AND, AND, UH, WHAT THE INCREASES ARE OVER THE YEARS, THEY'LL RUN OUT AFTER, UH, 28.
AND THEN BELOW HERE WE HAVE THE, UH, TOTAL LEVY IMPACT OF THESE CHANGES.
AND THIS IS WITH THE 53,000 HOURS AND THE, I MEAN, THE BIGGEST DETERMINING FACTOR IS THE CONTRACT, UM, FOR, FOR THE LEVEE.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, SO THAT'S QUITE A JUMP FROM BEFORE.
IF YOU LOOK, UH, TO THE LEFT RIGHT THERE, THAT WAS 310,000.
NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT A $400,000 LEVEE IMPACT IN 26 AND A ROUGHLY 4 47 OR FOUR $50,000 LE LEVEE IMPACT IN 27.
AND SO THE NEXT BRIDGE SHEET, JET CHARLIE, IS GONNA SHOW YOU IS KINDA LIKE, WILL BE, UH, WHEN DO THE ARPA FUNDS RUN OUT? WHAT DOES THE TRUST FUND LOOK LIKE, AND HOW MUCH ARE WE BEING EXTRA SUBSIDIZED FOR THESE NEXT TWO YEARS, JUST TO TRY TO GET TO THAT $4,000 POINT EACH YEAR, UH, IN THE BUDGET CYCLE AS BEST WE CAN.
AND I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN ASKED BEFORE, BUT WE'VE ALSO ARE KEEPING OUR EYE OUT FOR ANY OTHER GRANT OPPORTUNITIES OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD HELP FUND THIS, RIGHT? YES.
SO WE WERE VERY INTERESTED IN HOW THE STATE BUDGET WENT AS WELL, AND SURE.
AND THAT DEFINITELY IMPACTS OUR BUDGET, WHETHER THEY WANNA PROVIDE 51% OF, OF OUR, OF OUR EXPENSES ARE 54%.
SO SURE, UH, 3% ON A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR, UH, LINE ITEM MAKES, MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? OR, OR DOES ANYBODY? OH, I'M SORRY.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE, OH, YEAH, OKAY.
SO YOU'LL JUST SEE THE, THE USE HERE IN EACH YEAR, UH, NONE IN, UH, 25, UH, FOR THE TRANSIT FUND.
SO IT'S A REMAINING BALANCES AT THE BOTTOM, AND THEN AT REMAINING IN 27, UH, AFTER TRANSIT FUND IS USED IN 27, THERE'LL BE NO REMAINING, UH, ARPA OR TRANSIT FUND, UH, BALANCES.
UH, BUT THERE WILL BE TRUST FUND BALANCE FOR 28 FOR, FOR VEHICLES.
BUT CURRENTLY THE CUSHION FOR 27 IS 138,000 OF THE TRANSIT FUND.
SO THAT WILL BE REVEALED IN 28 AS A, AS AN INCREASE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE, THE TOP PEACH LINE, THAT'S ARPA.
[00:35:01]
SEE WE'RE USING, IS THAT 257,000? THAT ONE IS THAT? YEP, THAT'S TWO.AND THEN THE NEXT ONE TO THE RIGHT OF IT IS 222,000 AND AND 26.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT.
WE TALK ABOUT THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE IN, IN 28.
UH, AS CHARLIE MENTIONED, A LOT OF THOSE OTHER FUNDS LIKE THAT.
AND THEN THE TRUST FUND, WHICH IS THE FAR BOTTOM, WHICH IS IN 180,000, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT GOES AWAY AS WELL.
SO WE'RE UTIL UTILIZING ALL THE FUNDS NOW IN OUR PART, WE HAVE TO USE BY THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2027.
SO THAT ONE WE JUST CAN'T KEEP AND HOLD ON AND, AND USE, YOU KNOW, IN PERPETUITY.
UH, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT TO, TO GET INTO OUR BUDGET AS CLOSE AS WE CAN TO THAT $400,000 AMOUNT, UH, UTILIZING ARPA FUNDS, THE TRUST FUND BALANCE, AND THE BALANCE FOR THE VEHICLES AS WELL.
SO JUST POINTING OUT THERE, BY DOING THAT IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS, THOSE SILVER BULLETS ARE GONE.
IN 28, 29, BUDGET CYCLE, SOMETHING WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND AT THE TUNE OF AROUND 200,000 A YEAR IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS.
PLUS IF THE SERVICE GOES UP IN COST.
SO JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE AWARE OF THAT.
GOING FORWARD, I THINK WE'RE AWARE.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? IF NOT, WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE, UH, CULVERT AND BRIDGE AID.
SCOTT, YOU GOT THE LEAD ON THIS ONE? UH, YES.
UH, JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE HISTORY, I KNOW THAT THE, THE COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD HAS SEEN THE, THE CULVERT AND BRIDGE AID, UH, IT KINDA RESURRECTED ITSELF A LITTLE BIT MORE, A LITTLE MORE USE SINCE 2018.
SO I KNOW THE CURRENT MEMBERS THAT ARE HERE HAVE, HAVE SEEN THESE RESOLUTIONS GO THROUGH QUITE OFTEN AT THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE AS WELL AS THE, THE COUNTY BOARD.
AND SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS YEAR IS JUST LIKE WE DID TWO YEARS AGO, WE REACHED OUT TO LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES TO SEE WHAT THEIR POTENTIAL NEED, UH, WOULD BE FOR, FOR CULVERT AND BRIDGE AID GOING FORWARD IN, IN A TWO YEAR BUDGET CYCLE.
AGAIN, WHAT THAT BRIDGE AID IS, IT'S A SEPARATE FUND, UH, A SEPARATE TAX LEVY AMOUNT, UH, AND THAT GOES INTO A SEPARATE FUND.
AND THAT CAN ONLY BE USED BY THE TOWNS.
IT'S TAXED ON THE TOWNS USED FOR THE TOWNS FOR CULVERTS AND BRIDGES OVER THREE FEET, UH, IN DIAMETER AND LESS THAN 20 FEET LONG OR SPAN FOR A BRIDGE.
AND SO THAT THE TOWNS WOULD PETITION THIS, THE COUNTY FOR THAT MONEY.
AND THEN GENERALLY SPEAKING OF THE COUNTY AS THE FUNDS AVAILABLE WOULD DO THAT.
THE LAST SEVERAL BUDGETS YOU MIGHT RECALL, WE SET ASIDE A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN EACH OF THE YEARS, UH, THE LAST TWO BUDGET CYCLES, UH, WHICH WAS A TWO YEAR BUDGET.
AND THEN ONE YEAR BEFORE THAT, UH, WE RAN OUT OF FUNDS TO ACTUALLY TO PAY THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY HAD ALL THE REQUESTS, UH, COME GOING FORWARD.
SO WHAT WE DID BY LOOKING AT AND, UH, THERE WAS A, A NICE SPREADSHEET AS WELL, AND I WILL NOT RUN, RUN THROUGH IT LINE BY LINE FOR YOU TODAY OF ALL THE REQUESTS THAT THAT CAME THROUGH.
AND I WANNA SAY THESE ARE REQUESTS, THESE ARE NOT OFFICIALLY PETITIONS YET.
UH, AND THERE'S A DISTINCTION, UH, BETWEEN THAT.
UH, WHAT I DID WAS, UM, I, I HAD A LUNCH WITH ANOTHER, UH, COUNTY HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER EARLY THIS WEEK, AND, UH, HE HAD INFORMED ME ABOUT SOME, UH, SOME SHELLS IN THE STATE, UH, LANGUAGE.
I WENT AND CONTACTED THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND I APPRECIATE THEM LOOKING AT IT SO QUICKLY.
UH, IF A TOWN, MY READING OF IT, AND CERTAINLY THE TOWN, THE COUNTY ATTORNEY CAN, CAN PINE IN ON THIS AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, IF A TOWN PROVIDES THIS PETITION, PROVIDES A COUNTY A PETITION, EXCUSE ME, UH, THEN THE COUNTY IS REQUIRED BY A, IN THE STATE STATUTE THAT WE SHALL THEN LEVY THE TAX, UH, ON THE LOCALS TO ACTUALLY PAY THAT OFF.
AND SO WHAT WE THOUGHT, I THOUGHT, 'CAUSE I HAVEN'T READ THE STATUTE PROBABLY SINCE 2018 SINCE WE STARTED UP AGAIN, UH, DIDN'T HAVE IT MEMORIZED THAT CLOSELY, UM, THOUGHT THAT MAYBE WE COULD EITHER KEEP IT AT A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND LIMIT WHAT WE DO OR POTENTIALLY DECREASE IT IF WE WANT DOWN TO 50 OR, OR ZERO OR WHATEVER THAT MAY BE.
BUT, UM, RIGHT NOW, THE INTERPRETATION THAT THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S CURRENTLY GIVING US IS THAT, UH, KNOW IF THEY DO THE PETITION, UH, THE COUNTY HAS TO DO THAT LEVY GOING FORWARD.
AND I WOULD ASSUME THAT OF THE, UH, DOZEN OR SO THAT YOU SEE ON HERE THAT IF WE WENT AND TALKED TO THOSE TOWNS AND SAID, WELL, DO YOU WANNA DO THE PETITION? NOW, I'M SURE MOST OF 'EM WOULD GLADLY DO THE PETITION.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO PETITIONS IN OUR HANDS ALREADY, BARTON, WHICH YOU JUST SAW, WHICH YOU DON'T HAVE FUNDS TO PAY FOR AS WELL AS THE TOWN OF ADDISON DID ALREADY GIVE US THAT PETITION.
SO, UH, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR IS TO, TO MAKE THE, THE COMMITTEE AWARE THAT, UH, THE REQUESTED, UH, NEED WENT FROM 100,000 A YEAR ON AVERAGE, UP NOW TO 225,000, IS IS A CURRENT REQUESTED AMOUNT, WHICH DOESN'T, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SPREADSHEET, DOESN'T QUITE COVER IT.
THERE MIGHT BE SOME WIGGLE ROOM IN THERE.
UH, THERE MIGHT ALSO BE A, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER TOWN, UH, THAT JUST HASN'T HAD A RECENT, UH, ISSUE ON ONE OF THEIR ROADWAYS WITH RECENT FLOODING, UH, THAT MAY BE REQUESTING SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT ARE NOT SHOWN, UH, IN THE SPREADSHEET THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY.
SO, UH, WE'LL DO WANNA BRING THIS OUT TO YOUR ATTENTION TO MAKE SURE, AS, AS AARON DAHL POINTED OUT, THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF THIS, UH, WHICH IS A, A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE, UH, GOING FROM 100,000 TO
[00:40:01]
125,000, YOU THAT DOES THIS PERSON'S TAX BILL FOR THAT, THAT LINE ITEM.WELL, IT MORE THAN DOUBLES IT, RIGHT? UH, DEPENDING ON THEIR ASSESSMENT AND, AND ALL THAT OTHER KIND OF STUFF, UH, IF THEY'RE REASSESSED AND STUFF.
SO JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS A, A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IF, IF IT DOES GO TO COUNTY BOARD, UH, THROUGH PUBLIC WORKS COUNTY BOARD OF, UH, CHANGING IT FROM 100,000 TO THE 2 25 OR WHATEVER NUMBER THAT, THAT YOU DO.
UH, SO CHOOSE TO TO PUT INTO THE, THE BUDGET AT THERE.
SO, UH, WITH THAT I DID EARLIER THIS WEEK, I DID MAKE CONTACT WITH, UH, BY EMAIL, UH, THAT THE TOWN CHAIRS, UH, THAT ARE OUT THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE AWARE THAT THIS WAS ON THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA TODAY SO THEY CAN, UH, POTENTIALLY VOICE THEIR CONCERNS.
AND IT SOUNDS LIKE AT LEAST ONE TOWN HAS, HAS SENT AN EMAIL TO THE, TO THE CHAIR HERE TODAY.
YES, AND I HAVEN'T CHECKED MY EMAIL SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, SO I MIGHT HAVE IT IN MY INBOX AS WELL, UH, IN SUPPORT OF, OF THE, THE INCREASE INTO THE COUNTY, UM, CULVERT AND BRIDGE AID PROGRAM.
SO, UH, WITH THAT I'D CERTAINLY BE, UH, CERTAINLY ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
I CAN CERTAINLY BRING THAT THE SPREADSHEET UP ONTO THE SCREEN THAT YOU SEE.
BUT, UH, JUST WANNA POINT OUT THAT, UH, THIS WOULD BE, UH, QUITE AN INCREASE IN, IN THE TAX LEVY AMOUNTS ON THOSE THAT RESIDENTS THAT LIVE INSIDE, UH, TOWNSHIPS WITHIN WASHINGTON COUNTY.
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR AARON TO SHARE WITH THE COMMITTEE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE BUDGET AS FAR AS HOW MUCH PER THOUSAND THAT ADDS TO THE TAX? WASN'T IT 8 CENTS? OR AARON, DO YOU REMEMBER OUR DISCUSSION ON THAT? AND YOU GAVE US US A KIND OF A CALCULATION? YES.
UM, LET ME, LET ME JUST PULL THAT UP HERE QUICKLY.
UM, SO, SO AS SCOTT MENTIONED, THIS IS A, WE SET THE TAX LEVY AND THAT GETS LEVIED ON ONLY THOSE MUNICIPALITIES, UM, THAT ARE, THAT ARE IN TOWNS, RIGHT? ONLY, ONLY TOWNS.
UM, OKAY, SO THOSE PROPERTIES WEST BAD, NOT GERMAN TOWN, RIGHT? OR HARTFORD.
UM, ONLY HARTFORD, RIGHT?
UM, SO IT, IT'S A VERY LOW RATE, RIGHT? AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH EQUALIZED VALUES ARE INCREASING, SO WE WOULD EXPECT THAT RATE TO CHANGE SOMEWHAT, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, IN, IN DOUBLING IT, UM, I, BETWEEN DOUBLING THE, THE LEVY AMOUNT OR MORE THAN DOUBLING, IF IT'S, IF IT'S A $225,000 INCREASE, UM, OFFSET BY AN INCREASE IN EQUALIZED VALUE, I WOULD EXPECT THAT THAT TAX RATE TO REMAIN SIMILAR.
UM, ALTHOUGH, UH, WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO RUN THAT FINAL CALCULATION.
THE, UH, NEW EQUALIZED VALUE NUMBERS CAME OUT LAST FRIDAY, I JUST HAVEN'T UPDATED, UM, AND, AND RAN A NEW CALCULATION ON IT.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, INSTEAD OF BEING 2 CENTS DOUBLE ACTUAL DOUBLING, IT MIGHT COME DOWN A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE OF THE GROWTH IN THOSE TOWNSHIPS AND YOU GOTTA ADD ALL THE VALUE INCREASES AND STUFF.
SO YEAH, YOU'RE STILL UNDERSTOOD, YOU'RE STILL PAYING FOR IT.
I I, RIGHT, I I JUST THINK THIS IS AN, AN UNFORTUNATE NEED AT THIS POINT BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH ROAD WORK GOING ON.
UH, WELL THAT'S MY OPINION ANYWAY, SUPERVISOR, M**K.
YOU KNOW, IN THE PAST WHEN I'VE SEEN THESE, YOU KNOW, YOU THINK OF A CULVERT AND LIKE SOME OF THESE OTHER 50% OF COSTS, YOU KNOW, $10,000, YOU KNOW, 20, YOU KNOW, $24,000.
YOU LOOK AT IT AND, AND YOU'RE LIKE, OKAY, BUT SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, JACKSON, YOU KNOW, PLEASANT VALLEY ROAD BRIDGE, UH, YOU KNOW, 50, $137,500, THAT'S HALF OF THE COST FOR THE CULVERT.
I MEAN THAT FOR A CULVERT THAT JUST SEEMS LIKE A, UH, SO, SO THAT ONE IN PARTICULAR IS A BRIDGE, UH, NOT A CULVERT THAT IT'S A BRIDGE.
IT SURELY CAN GO THROUGH THESE INDIVIDUALLY.
SO WHAT WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE IN WASHINGTON COUNTY AND THE STATE OF WISCONSIN AS WELL, UH, YOU MIGHT RECALL WITH THE, WITH THE BILL FUNDING THAT PASSED A LOT OF THE BRIDGES AND, UH, A LOT OF THE BRIDGES THAT WERE CONSTRUCTED RECENTLY.
AND, AND ON THIS LIST, UM, GOT A LOT OF FEDERAL FUNDING INSTEAD OF JUST BEING AN 80 20 SPLIT, 80 FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, 20% LOCAL, THAT 20% LOCALS THEN SPLIT HALF AND HALF, UH, THE, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ENDED UP PAYING A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION.
SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A LOT OF THESE ARE AT THAT, THAT $10,000 AMOUNT, WHICH IS BASICALLY PAYING THE TOWNS FOR ANY RIGHT OF ACQUISITION, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO YOU'LL SEE LIKE THE J ROW BRIDGE, YEAH, TOWNLINE ROW BRIDGE, ALL THAT STUFF.
THEY'RE SO LOW BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING THAT, THAT HIGH AMOUNT OF, OF FEDERAL
[00:45:01]
AID COMING THROUGH THE TOWN OF JACKSON BRIDGE WAS UNFORTUNATELY HIT BY A DRIVER.UM, AND DAMAGE AND THEIR INSURANCE DIDN'T COVER THE COST TO ACTUALLY FIX THE BRIDGE.
AND SO THAT THEN WAS BORN IS BEING BORN BY THE TOWN.
UH, THE TOWN HAS BEEN WORKING VERY HARD, UH, OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS PLUS, UH, TO TRY TO GET ANY OTHER FUNDING SOURCES, UH, TO DO THAT BESIDES THIS FUND.
UH, SO I, I MEANT I COMMEND THE TOWN FOR DOING THAT.
I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE TOWN, UH, JUST UNFORTUNATELY THERE'S NOT A LOT OF, UH, FUNDING OUT THERE FOR THAT PARTICULAR.
WHAT ABOUT, SO HOW ABOUT TOWN OF BARTON? SURE.
UH, THE TOWN OF BARTON LIGHTHOUSE LANE BRIDGE, UH, THAT ONE, BECAUSE ON LIGHTHOUSE LANE, YOU'LL, YOU'LL LOVE THIS 'CAUSE IT'S ONLY THE GOVERNMENT CAN DO THIS.
IT'S NOT CONSIDERED A LOCAL ROAD.
IT'S CONSIDERED A COLLECTOR ROAD.
SO THAT ONE, INSTEAD OF BEING PAID FOR IT A HUNDRED PERCENT LIKE THE OTHERS, AND LIKE THE BARTONS BRIDGE ON, ON, ON WOODFORD DRIVE, THAT ONE IS, GOES BACK TO THE 80 20 SPLIT AGAIN.
AND THAT ONE, IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT BRIDGE, IT'S A LONGER BRIDGE.
UM, UH, TYPICALLY SPEAKING, A TOWN BRIDGE IS RIGHT AROUND THAT 20 TO 30 FOOT, GIVE OR TAKE.
THIS ONE HAPPENS TO BE OVER THE MILWAUKEE RIVER, AND SO IT'S A LOT LONGER BRIDGE, WHICH MEANS IT'S A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE BRIDGE.
IT'S ALSO ON A, A CURVE OF A ROADWAY.
SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF REALIGNMENT GOING ON TOO.
SO THAT MADE THAT ONE MORE EXPENSIVE.
SO IF YOU WERE, IF THIS WAS WASHINGTON COUNTY DOING THIS, MY COST IN LIKE THE COUNTY OF A BRIDGE FOR MY HOUR 20% IS RIGHT AROUND $500,000 FOR THAT LONGER BRIDGE.
SO, UH, TRUST ME, IF THE TOWN OF BARTON DOESN'T WANNA SPEND 130,000 EITHER FOR THEIR HALF, BUT THEY ALSO DON'T WANNA SPEND THE CLOSE TO, I'M NOT GONNA DO THE MATH IN MY HEAD, UM, WHATEVER, $1.3 MILLION, UH, THAT THAT BRIDGE IS GONNA COST.
SO AGAIN, HEAVILY FEDERALLY SUBSIDIZED THROUGH THAT BRIDGE.
SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE SOME, SOME LARGER ONES ON HERE AS, AS PARTICULAR, BUT ALL THE, LIKE MOST OF THE OTHER ONES WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE, UH, THE TOWN, THE THE STATE, UM, DECIDED TO, AND THE STATE COULD HAVE DECIDED WE'RE GONNA KEEP IT AT 80 20 AND, AND POCKET THE MONEY OR MAKE THE MONEY LAST LONGER.
BUT THEY REALIZED THAT A LOT OF THE TOWNS ARE IN THAT POSITION.
THEY SAID LOCAL ROADS WE'RE GONNA PAY IT A HUNDRED PERCENT IF YOU'RE A COLLECTOR, WHICH IS A LAR A LARGER VOLUME ROADWAY, TYPICALLY A COUNTY HIGHWAY.
UH, JUST UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE TOWN OF BARTON, THAT'S KIND OF THE NORTHERN ROUTE AROUND WEST BEND, IT'S GOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON IT.
SO, UH, BAD NEWS FOR THEM AND THEIR TOWN RESIDENTS.
UH, BUT THAT'S THE RULES THAT WE HAVE TO LIVE BY.
DO YOU, UH, DID YOU KNOW, I GUESS I FORGOT TO ASK YOU IN THE LAST ITEM AS WELL, SCOTT, ARE YOU JUST LOOKING FOR A THUMBS UP OR, UH, THIS IS JUST DISCUSSION FOR SOME KNOWLEDGE AND DISCUSSION BECAUSE, UH, IT IT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE AND IT, IT'S NOT JUST THIS COMMITTEE THAT'S, THAT'S LOOKING AT THIS ITEM, BUT OTHER COMMITTEES ARE LOOKING AT OTHER ITEMS TOO.
I KNOW RIGHT AFTER THIS IS LAND USE IS LOOKING AT SEWER PACK, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY'S LOOKING AT ITEMS AND HUMAN SERVICES, LOOKING AT ITEMS TOO, TO PUT THIS STUFF ON YOUR RADAR OF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO START MAKING SOME HARD CHOICES HERE AT THIS BUDGET AT SOME POINT.
AND DECISION POINTS OF, ALRIGHT, BRIDGE AID, SHARED RIDE TAXI SEWER PACK.
WHERE, WHERE, YOU KNOW, WHERE ARE YOUR PRIORITIES GONNA LIE AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING THAT INTO YOUR HANDS RIGHT NOW AND NOT SURPRISING YOU IN SEPTEMBER GOING, ALL RIGHT, DO YOU WANT TO CUT THIS? DO YOU WANNA ADD THIS? HOW'S THAT GONNA WORK? UH, WE DON'T HAVE FUNDING TO DO ALL OF IT.
AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET THAT IN AND SAYING, OKAY, WHAT IS SOME OF YOUR PRIORITIES GOING FORWARD? AND THAT'S WHY WE WANNA TRY TO GET THESE TWO ITEMS IN FRONT OF YOU BECAUSE SHARED RIGHT TAXI IS A BIGGER TICKET ITEM, RIGHT? GOING UP 90,000 AND KNOWING WHAT'S COMING DOWN THE ROAD IS A BIG TICKET ITEM.
AND, AND DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT OR DO YOU WANNA DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH THAT SERVICE? UM, AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT LET'S KEEP IT FULLY FUNDED FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
SAME THING WITH THE, THIS FUNDING FOR ROAD AND BRIDGE EIGHT CULVERT AND BRIDGE EIGHT GOING, RIGHT? IF WE JUMP IT UP TO THE 2 25, AND WE MIGHT HAVE TO ANYWAY BY STATE STATUTE, BUT WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW THIS TWO WEEKS AGO, WAS WE, COULD WE KEPT IT AT A HUNDRED THOUSAND, RIGHT? OR IS THAT A GOOD NUMBER ENOUGH AND GOING THAT GOOD ENOUGH? BUT WELL AGAIN, WE'LL RESEARCH THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER FOR YOU FOR NEXT MONTH TO SEE IF IT'S A, A SHELL, LIKE IT IS IN A CODE, UH, THAT YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE.
BUT WHEN WE BROUGHT THIS FORWARD TO THE, TO THE BUDGET TEAM, I THOUGHT I MISTAKENLY THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS SOME MOVEMENT IN THERE.
UM, AGAIN, ANOTHER COUNTY HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER, MAYBE I SHOULD GO BACK AND REREAD THE, THE STATUTE AND I DON'T KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF WIGGLE ROOM THERE, BUT WE'LL LOOK AT IT.
BUT THAT'S WHAT'S COMING FOR YOU IS TO SEE, ALRIGHT, THERE'S A COMMITTEE, SOME MAJOR DECISION POINTS COMING, UH, TO THIS BOARD, COMMITTEE AND BOARD OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS, UH, TO PREPARE YOU FOR THAT.
AND, UH, IF AARON DAH WANTS TO EXPLAIN IT A LITTLE BIT BETTER, BUT THAT'S HOW, UM, YEAH, NO, SCOTT, I THINK SCOTT DID A GREAT JOB.
THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD IS, IS YEAH, WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU GET THIS BUDGET NEXT MONTH, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU WILL SEE IN THERE AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT MAYBE NOT IN THERE, UM, BUT AT LEAST WE'VE, WE'VE BROUGHT THOSE ISSUES TO YOU AND HOPEFULLY
[00:50:01]
MADE YOU AWARE OF, OF SOME OF THE, THE NUANCE, UH, WITHIN THOSE PUBLIC POLICY POINTS.UM, SO THAT WHEN WE, WHEN WE GET TO THE BUDGET MEETING NEXT, NEXT MONTH, UH, AND IF SOMETHING'S IN THERE, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT, BUT NOW, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST MONTH, WHAT, WHAT PART OF THIS IS IN THERE AND, YOU KNOW, WHERE DID THE RFP COME BACK OR, OR WHATEVER IT'S RIGHT.
UM, SO THAT, THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THESE.
NOPE, CHAIRMAN OR DOUG, WHICHEVER ONE WAS FIRST CHAIRMAN SCH SLAVE.
UM, I'M SITTING HERE NEXT TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE TOWN OF FARMINGTON AND WE, WE KNOW WE LOST A BRIDGE AGAIN ON TRADING POST TRAIL OR TRADING POST ROAD INDIAN LO.
SO HOW DOES THAT IMPACT THIS? WILL THAT NOT HAPPEN IN TWO YEARS? OR ARE WE GONNA MAYBE GET EMERGENCY FUNDS? NO IDEA.
UM, I, I'LL CERTAINLY KICK THAT OFF THAT ANSWER.
I, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPRECIATE, UH, THAT THE CHAIR NEWMAN HAD ME OUT AT THE BRIDGE THIS MORNING WITH, WITH A CONTRACTOR TO LOOK AT IT.
UH, CERTAINLY, UH, I WOULD SAY THAT THE TOWN IS GONNA LOOK AT FUNDING OUTSIDE OF THIS SOURCE FIRST WITH, WITH FEMA, MAYBE WITH, WITH WISCONSIN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AS WELL.
UH, THOSE PARTICULAR PROGRAMS ARE ALSO NOT OVERNIGHT.
IT'S NOT A SNAP YOUR FINGERS AND HAPPENS, UH, SO BE A LITTLE BIT OF A TIME ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE.
I I WOULD IMAGINE THAT AT SOME POINT IF THOSE ARE EXHAUSTED AS WELL AS, UH, UNFORTUNATELY THAT STRUCTURE IS UNDER 20 FEET.
SO THAT SAME PROGRAM THAT BARTON WAS USING AS WELL AS UM, A LOT OF THE OTHER TOWNS THAT 80 20 SPLIT OR A HUNDRED PERCENT PROBABLY IS NOT ELIGIBLE AGAIN.
BUT WE'LL, WE'RE GONNA EXPLORE TO SEE WHAT IF WE JUST LENGTHEN THAT BRIDGE OUT FROM 18 TO 20.
UM, YOU KNOW, SO STUFF LIKE THAT THAT WE'LL BE WORKING ON WITH THE TOWN ON THAT.
AND THE TOWN CHAIRMAN CAN CERTAINLY SPEAK MORE TO THAT.
BUT MY GUESS IS IF, UH, ALL THOSE OTHER AVENUES FAIL, MY UNDERSTANDING WOULD BE THEY WOULD PROBABLY COME RIGHT BACK TO THE COUNTY BOARD AND AND PETITION FOR AID FOR THAT PARTICULAR STRUCTURE AS WELL.
AND IF THEY'RE ON THE HOOK FOR THAT ALONE, UH, THE NET DOLLAR AMOUNT IS PROBABLY $150,000 PLUS OR MINUS MAYBE 200.
SO JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE IF THAT'S ON TOP OF THIS, RIGHT? UM, AGAIN, AND THE BUDGET NUMBER YOU SAW IN HERE IS JUST THE ONES THAT WE KNOW ABOUT TODAY.
THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL, AS YOU SAW, EVEN A SECOND YEAR, I NOT, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT EVEN FULLY FUNDED ACCORDING TO THE REQUESTS THAT CAME IN, UH, FOR THE AIRPLANE FOR BETTER NUMBERS AND STUFF.
SO, UH, THERE ISN'T LIKE AN EXTRA A HUNDRED THOUSAND SITTING IN THIS FUND.
BUT IF THAT'S YOUR PURVIEW, UM, TO CERTAINLY HAVE THAT ABILITY TO GO ABOVE MY RECOMMENDATION IF YOU'D LIKE, BUT, UH, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.
AND AGAIN, STAYING, LIVING WITHIN OUR MEANS OF NOT JUST PUTTING MONEY ASIDE FOR ANY DAY OR A FLOOD EVENT.
UH, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THIS COMMITTEE HAS TO LOOK AT AND DECIDE GOING, ALRIGHT, IF WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE EVENTS, IF SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS, THE MONEY'S KIND OF SPOKEN FOR YOU JUST TELL THE TOWN, YEP, WE'LL MAYBE PAY YOU BACK IN TWO YEARS, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE COMES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO AGAIN, WE'RE NOT PUTTING MONEY ASIDE IF YOU SAW THE NUMBERS, WE'RE NOT SETTING MONEY ASIDE FOR A RAINY DAY ON THIS AT ALL.
IT'S, IT'S TRULY, THESE ARE PROJECTS WE KNOW ARE COMING AND, AND, AND TRYING TO FUND FUND THOSE AND THOSE ALONE.
AND I, AGAIN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE LIKE WE DISCUSSED BEFORE, RIGHT? I MEAN, THESE THINGS CAN FAIL IF WE DON'T TAKE CARE OF 'EM WHEN, WHEN NEEDED.
UM, AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN MENTION A ROAD IN GERMANTOWN THAT'S BEEN ON THE NEWS.
IT LOOKED LIKE A CULVERT DOWN THERE THAT WASHED OUT AND I DON'T THINK THE CULVERTS GONE AND IT MAY NOT BE NEED REPLACING.
IT IS, BUT THEY HAVE TO REBUILD THE ROAD THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT, THAT'S A VILLAGE.
SO THE VILLAGE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THIS FUND, SO, GOTCHA.
UM, SO THAT, THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY SAME THING WOULD'VE HAPPENED IN THE CITY OF HARTFORD CITY, WEST BEND.
UH, ANY OTHER VILLAGE THAT THAT THAT'S NOT ELIGIBLE.
THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T MENTION IT, BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PARTICULAR FUND.
I'M SORRY, SUPERVISOR NEWMAN, I FORGOT ABOUT YOU BACK THERE.
UM, I THINK SCOTT SUMMED IT UP PRETTY WELL THAT THIS FUNDING SOURCE IS, IS A LAST RESORT FOR THE TOWNS.
UM, EVERY OTHER OPTION IS EXPLORED.
UM, SOME OF IT'S UNFORTUNATE SOME OF THESE BRIDGES DON'T MEET, UM, THE STANDARDS FOR THE STATE OR FEDERAL FUNDING.
YOU KNOW, UH, I GUESS THAT BEING SAID, THIS IS, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PROGRAM FOR THE TOWNS.
IT'S A, I'LL SAY IT'S A TOOL IN A TOOLBOX THAT THE TOWNS DO NOT HAVE, THEY CANNOT TAX FOR THIS.
AND, UH, REITERATE THE WHO PAYS THE TAX, USES THE TAX.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE IN THE CITY OR A VILLAGE, YOU'RE NOT PAYING THAT TAX.
AND BASICALLY IT'S THE COUNTY COLLECTING IT ON BEHALF OF THE TOWNS AND DISTRIBUTED AND SHARING IT TO THOSE TOWNS.
SO IT'S THE TOWNS PEOPLE PAYING FOR THEIR OWN IMPROVEMENTS
[00:55:01]
JUST FACILITATED THROUGH THE, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE COUNTY COLLECTING THAT TAX.THE LEVEE LIMITS AT THE TOWNS ARE INCREDIBLY TIGHT THAT THIS, THIS PROGRAM IS, IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO THESE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS.
SO, YOU KNOW, WITH A TWO YEAR BUDGET CYCLE, IT MAKES IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
WHEN IS THAT BRIDGE GONNA GET A HOLE IN IT, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S NOT ANNUALLY INSPECTED THROUGH, YOU KNOW, THE, OR BI ANNUALLY INSPECTED THROUGH THE STATE PROGRAM.
SO, OR, OR A FLOOD EVENT, YOU KNOW, THAT CAUSES SOME DAMAGE.
UM, SO THE TWO YEAR BUDGET CYCLE CREATES, YOU KNOW, ADDITIONAL, I GUESS, FUTURE PLANNING ISSUES, UM, WITH HOW MUCH TO BUDGET VERSUS THE, THE ANNUAL ONE.
UM, I, I KNOW OUR COUNTY EXECUTIVE WANTS TO REMAIN AS FLAT LEVY LEVY AS WE CAN IN THE COUNTY.
SO BY INCREASING THIS AND, AND YOU CAN SEE THE INCREASE JUST ON AARON'S, YOU KNOW, ESTIMATE.
IT'S A VERY MINIMAL IMPACT, UM, TO THE TOWNS AND THE LEVY, OR I GUESS THE TAX LEVY IN GENERAL.
BUT THAT BEING SAID, I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS INCREASE ON THE BACK OF MAYBE OUR HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT LOSING THE FUNDS TO KEEP A FLAT RATE ALL AROUND.
YOU KNOW, NOT IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING WHAT I'M SAYING, NOT THE, THE RATE ON THIS SHOULD NOT BE REFLECTED IN THE COUNTY HIGHWAYS, UM, BUDGET.
BUT I WILL SAY THAT I THINK THIS IS A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAM.
AND IF THE REST OF THE TOWN'S CHAIRS AND, UH, BUSINESS PEOPLE WERE HERE AS WELL, THEY WOULD TELL YOU THE SAME THING BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE BASED ON THE LIST HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS.
AGAIN, IT'S JUST, IT'S THAT TOOL THAT THE TOWNS DO NOT HAVE OTHER THAN THIS PROGRAM.
SO, UM, I GUESS THAT'S ALL I HAD.
AND IF I CAN ADD TO THAT, I REPRESENT THREE TOWNSHIPS, AND I KNOW THEY'RE ALL SCREAMING
THEY LIKE THIS FUND AS WELL, SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME TOO.
SO, ARE ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE ANYBODY WANTS TO HEAR OR ADD TO THE DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE.
AND WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE LAST ITEM, WHICH IS, UH, LEAD LATERAL UPDATE.
SCOTT, YOU GOT THE FLOOR AGAIN? YES.
UH, JUST WANNA PROVIDE YOU, UH, OR TRY TO DO THIS QUARTERLY, AT LEAST THROUGH THE SUMMER MONTHS WHILE THE THE WORK IS ACTUALLY BEING DONE.
UH, PLEASE ANNOUNCE THAT, UH, SEVERAL MORE LEAD LATERALS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY REPLACED IN WASHINGTON COUNTY.
UH, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT, THAT IN THE CITY OF HARTFORD, THEY HAVE REPLACED, UH, FIVE, OH, I STILL ON SOMETHING WENT OUT.
CHECK, CHECK IT GUY IS OKAY, KEEP GOING.
UH, SO, UH, THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLACE FIVE, UH, PUBLIC SIDE LATERALS, UH, ON FIFTH SIXTH IN WISCONSIN.
STREETS IN THE CITY OF HARTFORD.
SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE MOVING RIGHT ALONG.
UH, THE VILLAGE OF SLINGER, UH, IS DOING THEM MORE PIECEMEAL WHEN THE CONTRACTOR HAS SOME TIME.
UH, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO DO THREE PRIVATE, LESS PRIVATE SIDE LEAD LATERALS.
AGAIN, THE VILLAGE OF SLINGER ONLY HAS PRIVATE SIDE AND THE VILLAGE OF SLINGER LEFT, SO, UH, THEY'RE KNOCKING THEIRS OUT.
SO THEY'VE GOT, UH, SEVERAL OF THOSE COMPLETED.
AND THEN THE CITY OF WEST BEND, UH, HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT OBVIOUSLY THEY'VE GOT 11 PUBLIC SIDE LEATHERS AND 64, UH, WHICH IS, IS A GREAT NUMBER.
UH, PRIVATE SIDE LEATHERS COMPLETED ON SUMMIT HIGHLAND DRIVE, AS WELL AS PORTIONS OF SEVENTH AND EIGHTH AVENUES THAT HAD PROJECTS DONE IN, IN RECENT YEARS.
SO, UH, REALLY HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT, THAT, THAT, UM, IS GOING FORWARD.
UH, NOW TO, TO, TO PIGGYBACK A LITTLE BIT ON OUR, ON OUR PREVIOUS CONVERSATION OF HOW DO WE KEEP THIS PROJECT GOING, YOU KNOW, GOING FORWARD IN, INTO THE FUTURE, UH, YOU MIGHT RECALL THAT THE CURRENT $3 MILLION, PLUS OR MINUS IT WAS USE FOR THIS PROGRAM WAS ARPA FUNDS, UH, WHICH WE ALL KNOW ARPA FUNDS, UH, HAVE A LIFESPAN.
UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE COUNTY, DID THE BORROWING, AGAIN, ANOTHER $3 MILLION FOR THE LEAD LATERAL, UH, SERVICES GOING FORWARD.
UH, BUT AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT COST, YOU CAN KIND OF TELL WHAT THE COST WOULD BE TOTAL OF A PROGRAM.
AGAIN, THAT'S ASSUMING TODAY'S DOLLARS.
I WANNA MAKE SURE I'M, I'M HAVE A PROGRAM THAT LASTS EIGHT TO 10 YEARS.
AND TO SAY THAT WE'RE GONNA KEEP PAYING THE 5,015,000 AND THE, THE PRIVATE SIDE IS ONLY GONNA COST 5,000 OVER 10 YEARS.
WE, I THINK WE ALL UNDERSTAND THIS FROM THE, THE PROJECT END OF THOSE COSTS COULD POTENTIALLY GO UP.
SO, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT AN INFLATION FACTOR IN.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE, YOU'RE SEEING TODAY'S DOLLARS WOULD BE ROUGHLY $15 MILLION TO COMPLETE THE LEAD LATERALS, UH, IN THE, IN THE WASHINGTON COUNTY, CITY OF HARTFORD CITY, WEST BEND, UH, AARON DOLL, UH, WHO I THINK IS LEFT NOW, UM, IS WORKING ON US WITH, UH, LOOKING AT POSSIBLE LOW INTEREST LOANS THROUGH THE STATE
[01:00:01]
OF WISCONSIN.UH, THEY'RE A BIT LONGER AND COMPLICATED.
UH, YOU ACTUALLY GOTTA DO A PRE-APPLICATION AND THEN AN APPLICATION IN OCTOBER, AND THEN YOUR PROJECTS ARE ABOUT TWO TO THREE YEARS OUT.
UH, SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, SO WE'LL BE STARTING TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF HARTFORD, CITY WEST BEND TO SEE IF THOSE ARE OPTIONS FOR US AS WELL.
AND THEN WE CERTAINLY CAN WORK ON WHO'S PAYING A LOW INTEREST LOAN AND, AND WHAT THAT'S LOOKING LIKE, UH, VERSUS THE COUNTY USING SALES TAX OR, UH, BORROWING MONEY AS WELL.
SO WE ARE LOOKING AT OTHER OPTIONS, UH, TO POTENTIALLY FUND THESE, UH, JUST LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT EARLIER.
UH, BUT I JUST WANNA POINT THAT OUT THERE, THAT FOR THAT NEXT BUDGET CYCLE, UH, AND THAT 28 AND 29, UH, WE'LL BE LOOKING AT TO SEE IF WE CAN, UH, WORK ON SOME OTHER FUNDING SOURCES AS WELL THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF SALES TAX OR, OR COUNTY BORROWING THE FUNDS.
UH, BUT JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW HOW THAT, HOW MUCH THE IMPACT YOU'VE HAD ALREADY BY INTO THESE, THESE COMMUNITIES AS WELL AS THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS GOING FORWARD THAT WOULD BE NEEDED TO ACTUALLY COMPLETE THESE PROJECTS.
AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID PUT A DEADLINE ON THESE OF 2034, I BELIEVE IT IS, TO GET THEM GONE.
UH, BUT AGAIN, THEY'RE, THEIR FUNDING SOURCES DON'T MATCH UP WELL WITH OUR COMMUNITIES RIGHT NOW.
AND WE'RE ALSO VERY HOPEFUL THAT SOME OF THOSE POLICIES THAT WERE PUT IN PLACE BY THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL WILL BE CHANGED.
UH, BUT, UH, THEY'RE WORKING ON THINGS, BUT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN CHANGED YET.
UH, SO WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE HOPEFUL, BUT AGAIN, UH, WE'LL BE WORKING OUR WAY THROUGH THAT PROCESS AS WELL TO SEE IF THERE'S A WAY TO, TO UTILIZE SOME OF THOSE FUNDS.
BUT, AND, UH, CURRENTLY WE'RE NOT ELIGIBLE, BUT, UH, UH, THINGS COULD CHANGE.
BUT A LOT OF THAT FUNDING WENT RIGHT FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOWN TO THE STATE GOVERNMENT.
AND SO THE STATE GOVERNMENT HAD A LOT OF THE SAME AND SIMILAR POLICIES AND STILL DOES IN PLACE.
SO, UM, IT IS A, A, A WEB OF INFORMATION THAT WE'RE TRYING TO NAVIGATE.
UH, BUT, UH, TRUST ME WITH AARON DAHL ON MY SIDE, UH, WE'LL GET THROUGH THAT AS BEST WE CAN AND, AND, AND TRUST ME THAT IF WE CAN FIND ANOTHER FUNDING SOURCE AND A BETTER FUNDING SOURCE, UH, WE'LL BY ALL MEANS LOOK AT THAT AS AN OPTION.
ANY QUESTIONS? NO, SEEING NONE.
