Chair Krueger called the meeting to order at 4:30 P.M. and compliance with the Open Meeting Law was verified. Motion by Bach, seconded by Fordham to approve the agenda, as mailed. Motion carried.

Consideration of a Delegate to Serve on the Capital Improvement Projects Team:

Brief discussion followed with a motion by Fordham, seconded by Bach to designate Marty Krueger as the delegate to serve on the Capital Improvement Projects Team. Motion carried.

Update on Unfinished Business Resolution - Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement to Form the South Central Wisconsin Public Health Preparedness Consortium:

T. Liebman reported investigating concerns previously expressed by Board members regarding responsibility for potential unemployment benefits paid to a Consortium Coordinator. Liebman felt the County could work with language contained in an federal OMB circular to cover this situation. Discussion followed with consensus being both Liebman and the Public Health Board could address any concerns expressed when the full County Board again considers the resolution at the July 20, 2010 meeting.

Consideration of Expansion of Contract with Consultant for Facilitation of Rails and Trails:

The Administrative Coordinator reported an initial meeting of the larger stakeholders was recently held and a facilitator hired at the rate of $180.00/hour. Initially it was felt three meetings would suffice, however, now it appears there may be a need for six. Discussion followed regarding the RFP process used in selecting the facilitator and available funding. Motion was made by Fordham, seconded by Alexander to authorize an amount no greater than $8,000.00 (at the hourly rate for hours actually spent) to expand the contract with the facilitator of Rails and Trails. Motion carried.

Consideration of a Resolution - Cooperation Agreement for Community Development Block Grant Program:

The Administrative Coordinator reviewed a draft resolution authorizing a cooperative agreement for the Community Development Block Grant Program. Motion by Alexander, seconded by Wenzel to forward the resolution to the full County Board for consideration at the July 20, 2010 meeting. Motion carried.
