I BARRON COUNTY, WI I Administrator's Update^ ^

August 11th, 2020 ^J'^ ky .

3. Special Matters and Announcements:

Please remember to bring and wear your mask!!

***NOTE*** As a result of Governor Evers mask order I did not include this as an Agenda item because his

order extends to local government buildings.

I have no Special Matters or Announcements at this time.

7. EDC Update - Dave Armstrong - Frac Sand:

EDC Director Armstrong will be making this presentation as requested.

I have asked and received a reply from Sean Wenko, Economic Development Director, City ofWilliston,

ND, the center of the oil patch and he states:

"We have weathered the storm better than I would have expected. I see a mini rebound happening.

However, I am told the industry is being veiy cautious as we may see another round of layoffs in July as PPP

starts to run out. I envision a rather quiet 2020 but a nice rebound next year."

8. Zoning Ordinance Amendments:

There are no concerns with these rezoning's that I am aware of and I recommend approval.

9. Local Health Officer Ordinance, (discussion onlyj

Included with the packet is a draft Public Health Officer Ordinance. Ban-on County does not have this

ordinance and therefore cannot enforce orders from the Public Health Department.

Remember this is a discussion only, the decision process needs to begin with the HHS Committee making a

recommendation.

As of the above date I am waiting for the final guidance document from the Wisconsin Counties Association,

when I receive the final version of this document I will forward it onto the members.

10. Resolution - Authorizing $67,206 from Unassigned Fund Balance:

Included with the packet is a resolution authorizing the use ofUnassigned Fund Balance for this one-time

upgraded to the existing E-911 Emergency Dispatch system. It is my understanding this system has not

been upgraded for approximately eight years and this upgrade will allow emergency texts and videos to be

uploaded to the Dispatch Center. This expenditure was not included with the original 2020 Budget requestbecause the grant process is competitive, and the grant process has "bounced-around" through various State

agencies over the past 5-8 years, and the information for the grant was received veiy late in the 2020 Budget

approval process. Approval will require a 2/3'rds roll call vote.

I recommend approval of this Resolution.

11. Resolution - Authorizins Purchase of $200,000 Screen Deck for Hwy Dept.:

This resolution has been approved by the Hwy Committee and Executive Committee for the purpose of

allowing Hwy Commissioner Servi to purchase a used Screen Deck for use in our crushing operations.

The resolution authorizes an amount not to exceed, $200,000 to be taken from the Hwy Fund Balance to fund

this purchase. Finance Director Busch is aware of this request and is not opposed to this use of funds.

Approval will require a 2/3'rds roll call vote.

I recommend approval of this Resolution.

12. Report from County Administrator:

a. Management Discussion and Analysis:

Jodi, will present this veiy important document to the Board.

b. Leave Sale to Health Savings Account:

As allowed by the Executive Committee we again this year will allow employees to "sell" up to 96 hours of

accrued vacation or sick leave to their Health Savings Account.

c. 2021 Health Insurance Renewal and Use of the Health Joy App:I have asked Jeff from Health Joy and Alex Beaudry from Horton Group to attend the October 19th, CountyBoard meeting so that:

A: Jeff can explain the feahires and benefits of Health Joy and the return it provides toemployees and employers.

B: Alex can explain where the County is at with the 2021 Health Insurance renewal and his

thoughts on using Health Joy.

Also at the meeting I will be projecting the County's most recent health usage data.

d. 25% Upfront Payment to Safety Clean:The Executive Committee, August, meeting, authorized a payment not to exceed, $55,000 to Safety Clean, in

Clear Lake, WI for the purchase of Personal Protective Equipment. It is unusual for government to pay in

advance and therefore my request to Executive to authorize this type of purchase.

e. Disposition of Tax Deed Property - Village of Turtle Lake:

The Executive Committee authorized the sale of three parcels of land on the comer ofHwy 63 and Hwy 8

within the Village of Turtle Lake for $100,000. This property was cleaned-up as a fuel spill site with theCounty working with the DNR. This property will be sold via the Wisconsin Surplus On-Line AuctionService.

/ GCS Soft\vare Payment, $9, 500.The Executive Committee authorized an expenditure, from the 2020 Contingency Fund in an amount not to

exceed $9,500 for training and module integration for the GCS Software used in the Treasurer's Office.

g. Pay Grade Placement Recommendation:

The Executive Committee authorized six, 6, pay grade recommendations from McGrath consulting. This is

the only pay grade changes we have had since implementing our plan 3-4 years ago!!

h. Extension of Federal Temporary Paid Sick Leave Program to 12-31-2020:

The Executive Committee authorized an extension of the Federal Temporaiy Paid Sick Leave Program to 12-

31-2020, to keep us in-line with the new Federal guidelines.

13. Appointments:

None at this time.

14. Claims, Petitions, Correspondence:I will let Mr. Muench or M.rs. Cook take the lead on this.

15. Sueeestions for Future Agenda Items

First draft of the 2021 budgetPresentation and direction given to Sean Lentz, financing new Hwy shop

October, Health Joy and Health Insurance presentations

16. Next Meeting Date:

With the cancellation of the WCA Annual Convention it has been suggested to move the meeting date to

Monday September 21st. The I received information from Chair Okey and he has requested that we move the date to

Tuesday September 22'"', at 7pm. What are the wishes of the Board?

Executive Summary

The Barron County Sheriff's Office answers 9-1-1 calls for the citizens of Barren County. The dispatch

center is staffed for up to 4 call-taking positions 7x24x365.

The current Call Handling system is supported by Centurylink and it was installed approximately 8 years

ago. Industry standards and typical IT life cycle management protocols recommend that IP based 9-1-1

Call Handling systems be replaced every 5-7 years. Due to the age of the current system, CenturyLink is

only able to provide support on a time and materials basis. In addition, the operating system for the

workstations is Win7 which is EOL. The State of Wisconsin plans to implement an 13 compliant ESInet

within the next few years and Barron County has been awarded grant money to replace the existing

system with an i3 compliant system. The grant award was based on a draft quote provided by

CenturyLink in January 2020.

CenturyLink will replace the current system with a new fully i3 compliant system by replacing all of the

backroom equipment and workstations. The new system will convert from the existing network

functionality to the ESInet seamlessly. The new system also includes a new analytics package. After our

local technicians visited the site they have recommended the addition of a new Net Clock to ensure that

the system and all peripherals stay in synch and a laptop position with docking station that can be used

to take calls outside of the primary PSAP location.

The new system will include new fully redundant servers and switches in the backroom and new

workstations for the call takers. The material costs for all of this equipment will be $78,577.37

Installation of the new system will be done in a non-disruptive fashion. The new system will be installed

along side of the existing system and new ALI services will be cut-over after testing. New ALI routers will

be provided to facilitate this transition. A separate quote will be provided for the ALI routers.

CenturyLink and Motorola will partner to complete the implementation. CenturyLink will provide

project management and will coordinate all necessary resources. Training for all new functionality for

both administrators and call takers is also included. We anticipate installation to be completed in Q4

2020. Costs to implement the system will be $40,795.78

As with most communications equipment today there are significant software licensing and support

costs that accompany the hardware. We have included the minimum support for this system to

conform to the grant requirements. The included support costs are $21,070.15

Shipping & Handling costs are quoted at $1,980.15

An additional quote has been included, which outlines the ALI Modem Replacement Cost of: $1,052.36

The total Cost for this upgrade at BARRON County is $143,475.81

CenturyLink appreciates the opportunity to continue to serve BARRON County.

BARRON COUNTY, WISCONSIN

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFor the Year Ended December 31,2019

Barron County began collecting the % cent sales tax in 1986 with a total collection of

$517,493. In 2019, this amount has grown to a record annual figure of $4,641,420. This

equates to an increase of $4,123,927 or approximately nine times the first year's collections.

During the 34 year period since 1986, average annual increases have been approximately

$121,290. This translates into a yearly percentage increase in excess of 3%.

Sales tax revenues collected in excess of budget in one year are utilized in the second year

following collection. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the County used sales tax

revenue as a direct reduction in the general operating property tax levy in the amount of

The Barren County Waste to Energy facility has been in operation since 1986. At various

times, amounts have been advanced from the General Fund to pay for improvements and

indirect costs. In 2019 with Resolution 2019-20, it was approved to borrow $529,094 through

a State Trust Fund loan to pay off the remainder of the advance ($304,094), as well as

purchase a new water treatment system ($225,000) for the facility. The loan was financed

over two years to be paid with tax levy. Cost savings of the new water treatment system is

estimated at $20,000/year.

BARRON COUNTY, WISCONSIN

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFor the Year Ended December 31,2019

The issuance of General Obligation Debt is under the authority of the Board of Supervisors

and requires signatures of the Clerk, Administrator and County Board Chair. On December 11,

2017, the Barren County Sheriff failed to follow the contract approval process and entered

into a five year, 0% Purchase and License Agreement with Spillman Technologies in the

amount of $744,240 without the proper approvals and signatures. On April 25, 2019 it was

discovered that the Sheriff's Department failed to budget for the annual software use

payment fee of $88,784 and therefore was not appropriated through the budget process or

approved by the County Board. This budget error brought the Spillman contract to the

forefront and the financing approval error was discovered.

Through negotiations with Spillman/ it was decided that rather than pay for the software over

five years, Barren County would properly approve and pay the total amount owed of

$422,307 in 2020 through the budget process. Resolution 2019-17 corrected the original

financing with proper approvals and language authorizing the transaction as General

Obligation debt.

Because the Sheriff failed to follow proper procedures with regard to contract approval,

Resolution 2019-18 implemented a corrective action plan for the Sheriffs Department which

included a two-year budget and hiring freeze.

The main shop of the Barren County Highway facility was built in 1947 with the office beingbuilt in 1999. Barren County has been discussing the need for a new Highway facility since

2008. In the 2017 Budget, the Board of Supervisors committed $303,000 to use to begin the

design process, because the current facility is no longer meeting the needs of the Highway

Department. Along with a tour of the current facility, the County Board approved Resolution

2019-22 in August of 2019 to officially begin the process of designing a new Highway facility.

Health Insurance costs continue to rise each year and are a constant concern in the annual

budget process. On September 25, 2019, the Executive Committee made a motion to

recommend the County Board transition to a partially self-funded health insurance plan with

Anthem/PBA starting January 1, 2020. Seed money of $920,000 in committed fund balance

was transferred to the newly created Self-Funded Health Insurance Fund from the General

Fund in January, 2020.

In December, 2019 a strain ofcoronavirus known as Covid-19 was detected and has since

spread worldwide. State of Emergency declarations have been implemented on federal, state

and county levels, with Barron County following suit on March 16, 2020. This pandemic has

had a negative impact on the local economy, with the shutdown of businesses, schools, and

churches in our communities. Even though county government is deemed essential, the

Government Center was closed for a time to foot traffic, and many employees started working

remotely to "flatten the curve".

BARRON COUNTY, WISCONSIN

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFor the Year Ended December 31,2019

While positive case numbers remain low as of the time of this analysis, countless staff hours

have been spent preparing for a large scale outbreak, which still has the potential to occur.

Over $1.8 million in federal and state funding is available to the county for reimbursement for

unbudgeted expenditures relating to the pandemic, however these funds can't be used to

make up for revenue shortfalls. As a result, a true picture of the economic impact that Covid-

19 has on county operations still remains unclear.

Because the pandemic has left a large amount of families and businesses struggling, on April

21, 2020 the County Board of Supervisors passed Resolution 2020-13 as a response to

Wisconsin ACT 185. This resolution enables taxation districts in the county to waive interest

and penalties on 2020 property tax installment payments due and payable after April 1, 2020

until October 1, 2020. Because settlements with the various jurisdictions need to be

completed before October, 1st, the county is also working to secure revenue anticipation

bonds to cover any shortfall until the taxes are collected. Repayment of the revenue

anticipation bonds is scheduled for June, 2021.
