Review of 2017 Ozaukee County Proposed Budget Facilities Management 9:01 AM Public Works Director Edgren, Building Superintendents Behlen and Hicks, and Financial Analyst Dzwinel. Administration Center, Justice Center and Fairgrounds Inquiry on the $107,075 funding for the Miss Columbia mural restoration, Mr. Meaux explained that $14,500 was raised from the recent Autumn Open golf outing specifically

2 for this restoration. In addition, there was approximately $14,000 that was applied years ago towards a creation of a foundation, which was never pursued, with the intent for the historical preservation. Monies were initially raised for the restoration of the board room; however, fund raising has not been active for the mural. Additional money is needed for the plastering of the ceiling. Due to the staging, the plaster and mural should be done at the same time. The breakdown for the funding is approximately $35,000 from a deferred wallpaper project, $14,500 from Autumn Open golf outing, $14,000 from the aforementioned historical preservation, and $50,000 from capital reserves. Discussion on the use and balance of the Capital Reserve account. 9:09 AM Mitch Maersch, Ozaukee Press joined the meeting. Transit Services 9:11 AM Public Works Director Edgren, Transit Superintendent Wittek and Financial Analyst Dzwinel. 9:20 AM Supervisor Richart joined the meeting. Highway Department 9:21 AM Public Works Director Edgren and Financial Analyst Dzwinel Decrease of $34,560 due to the vacant Assistant PW Director downgraded to County Surveyor. Increase of $132,000 due to the equipment discount to the towns that participate in the Guaranteed Work Partnership program. Increase in licenses and permits due to a change in accounting of some of the revenues per the auditor s request. Coroner Coroner Deppisch excused from attendance. Autopsy fees were overstated by $11,200 and livery drivers were overstated by $3,300. The decrease in levy was noted on the whiteboard. Chairperson Schlenvogt requested to move ahead to the Clerk of Courts as the committee was ahead of schedule so the District Attorney was not yet in attendance. There were no objections. Clerk of Courts 10:06 AM Chief Deputy Clerk of Courts C. Mueller and Controller Mihalko Increase in health insurance of $60,640 due to employee change in coverage. Ms. Mihalko noted that a part-time position that is requested in the budget to be increased to

3 full-time, will not need the health insurance coverage; therefore, reducing the amount by $20,000. This decrease to the levy was noted on the whiteboard. Mr. Meaux suggested applying the $20,000 to the office remodel, CIP , that was deferred and the project could be done over two years. Ms. Mihalko explained that there are files that need to be moved and work to be done that to do the project over two years is a workable solution. This increase to the levy was added to the whiteboard. Revenues for State Aid-Court Support were increased by $100,388. This is a combination of the GAL Reimbursement and increased allocation from the State. Estimates have been conservative over the last few years based on information from the State Director of Courts that the program would be cut; however, the State has now provided information that it will be a set amount and do not expect any changes. Chairperson Schlenvogt reverted back to the order of the agenda. District Attorney 10:17 AM District Attorney Gerol, Victim/Witness Coordinator Hodorowski and Office Services Supervisor Marx Sheriff's Office 10:46 AM Sheriff Johnson, Undersheriff Taylor and Business Services Manager Nelson $20,000 removed for the cell phone analyzer as the county will share the City of Mequon s for one year.

The request will be taken under consideration. 10:55 AM Supervisor Gall joined the meeting.

4 Inquiry on the increase of revenue of $150,000 for State Aid DNR grant. Ms. Brandner noted that $150,000 of expenses to offset the revenue was not included in the budget highlights. Overall levy increase of $71,070 is correct. Review of highlights including request for staff upgrades. Mr. Dzwinel explained that the internal comparison of the higher paygrade could impact other departments. His recommendation is to remove the upgrades and instead review awarding the employees through the bonus program. Decrease to the levy of $10,697 included on the whiteboard. Inquiry on the Clean Sweep Program funding. $35,000 was included in the budget in addition the assumption of $15,000 of State Aid.

Planning, Parks & Golf Courses 11:51 AM Planning & Parks Director Struck Mr. Struck reviewed the deferred capital request for a cold storage building, CIP , for an estimated amount of $225,000.
