Update and recommendation to fill unexpired term in County Clerk’s office.
Krueger updated the committee on the mechanics of the process, the research, the meetings held with and without the former County Clerk and discussion to have this person in the position to be held accountable for the Sauk County Clerk’s Office. Motion by Wenzel, second by Alexander to rescind the resolution developing a procedure for appointing a new County Clerk to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Beverly Mielke; and approving and recommending the acting appointment of Rebecca A. DeMars as County Clerk; and that it be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for consideration. Motion carried.

Consideration of an amendment to the Sauk County Code of Ordinance, Chapter 36 to include an expanded Code of Conduct.
Liebman distributed a draft code of conduct in the form of an ordinance and discussion. The Executive and Legislative Committee will consider the resolution prior to the County Board meeting. Motion by Alexander. Prior to a second Supervisor Alexander withdrew his motion. Fordham requested that the ordinance be simplified and condensed to make it more easily digestible and a desk side reference be created. A set of ground rules will be created to complement the ordinance. Bach and Wenzel requested a copy of ordinance be mailed out and electronic copies mailed for review before next Executive and Legislative meeting before County Board.

Consideration of a resolution commending Beverly Mielke for years of service to Sauk County.
Motion by Fordham, second by Wenzel to approve the resolution and forward to the Board for consideration. Motion carried.

Consideration of a resolution authorizing the purchase of a property tax management system.
Pate provided background on existing tax system. The original system was developed in 1992. The system is no longer adequate for county needs. Four proposals were received based on functionality. When the work flow and ease of use are considered the Transcendence System was deemed best due to real time data validation and built in integration. Motion by Wenzel, second by Bach to approve the resolution authorizing the purchase of a property tax management system and pass it on to Finance for consideration. Motion carried.

Consideration of a resolution Creating a Subcommittee of the Economic Development Committee to Facilitate the Creation of a Recreational Trail.
Krueger spoke to the modification to the resolution that was previously considered. The resolution offered changes to the composition of the committee to offer greater representation to the long range development of the county trail. Motion by Bach, second by Fordham, to approve the change in composition to the committee and forward it to the Board for consideration. Motion carried.

Discussion and consideration of strategic planning for 2012 budget - Corporation Counsel. Programs, mandates and priorities; and departmental goals and objectives.

The committee will meet prior to the County Board on June 21, 2011 at 5:30 p.m. in the gallery to review the resolution that offers changes to the Sauk County Code of Ordinance, Chapter 36, to include a Code of Conduct.

July 5, 2011 at 8:00 a.m. is the next regularly scheduled meeting.
