This document outlines the work efforts of the East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission for the next year. The document also includes the transportation planning studies that will be undertaken in the East Central Region by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, local communities, or consultants to them. The Annual Work Program provides the basis for setting the annual commission budget and dues levy and for adopting an annual staffing plan. The work program serves as the basis for funding assistance applications from various federal and state agencies. Funding shares are identified for individual work items taking into account assistance eligibility, sharing formulas and the total grant amount available. Through cooperative review by the FHWA, WisDOT and related state agencies, this work program is accepted by all participating agencies.

PART I – INTRODUCTION AND PROSPECTUS

1

INTRODUCTION & PROSPECTUS The Annual Work Program schedules the East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission's work activities for the next year and discusses the general framework for planning. It contains three major sections: a prospectus which contains a general description of the agency's activities; a summary of the 2013 budget and work program elements, and; a specific annual work program which describes details of the work activity, budget and staffing requirements for 2013. The document describes the organizational arrangements, roles and responsibilities of the various agencies involved in the planning process and the decision making process used to prepare, implement and periodically reevaluate the policy and action recommendations. It describes the approach used in developing planning work programs and the management of the planning process. It also addresses the specific requirements of the various federal and state grant programs and outlines how they will be achieved through the scheduled work activities. The annual work program statement of work activities includes: (1) A brief description of the overall work activity objective; (2) A description of the technical procedures and activities involved in accomplishing the work; (3) The estimated cost and source of funds. (4) The manpower required and the planning organizations that will perform the work. East Central was created as a regional planning commission by Executive Order No. 41, issued by Governor Patrick J. Lucey and dated June 29, 1972. This action was taken following the submittal of petitions by the ten counties within the East Central region pursuant to SS. 66.945, the existing regional planning enabling statute. The East Central RPC was preceded by two areawide planning agencies: the Fox Valley Council of Governments (FVCOG) which was formed in 1956 and composed of fifteen governmental units in the Appleton-Neenah and Oshkosh urbanized areas; and the Northeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (NEWRPC), formed in 1962 and composed of nine counties encompassing the Wolf River Basin. With the issuance of HUD's APO and APJ certification requirements in July, 1970, these two agencies were dissolved and replaced by East Central, which was roughly aligned with proposed uniform state administrative districts. The three northernmost counties of NEWRPC were dropped from the region and Calumet, Fond du Lac, Green Lake and Marquette counties were added on the south. Calumet and Fond du Lac counties had ongoing county planning programs prior to their affiliation with East Central. The existence of different state agency configurations at the time various regional planning agencies were formed, coupled with the fact that the Governor did not adhere to the districting configuration when forming East Central, has resulted in the significant overlapping of jurisdictions. In the past, the East Central region coordinated its planning program through memoranda of agreement with up to three criminal justice planning regions (now a statewide function), two health planning districts (now defunct), three manpower planning districts (now four), two area agencies on aging (now one), two rural conservation and development districts, two community action programs (now three), one water quality management planning area (now defunct), the Wisconsin Rural Housing Cooperative and the State Clearinghouse. Additionally East Central coordinated with three district transportation offices (now two regional offices) and two district natural resource offices. There are varying degrees of formal planning at the local level. County planning is staffed in Calumet and Fond du Lac counties as previously mentioned, and in Green Lake, Shawano, Outagamie and Winnebago counties. The cities of Appleton, Fond du Lac, Kaukauna, Menasha, Neenah, and Oshkosh, and the towns of Menasha and Grand Chute have planning staff. Numerous other communities have contracted with consultants for the preparation of comprehensive development plans.

2

Basic rationale for the East Central Region as a geographic planning region is twofold. First, the Appleton-Oshkosh-Neenah MSA (metropolitan statistical area including Calumet, Outagamie and Winnebago counties) is a geographic unit that cannot be split. This area has mandatory planning requirements for various federal funding programs above and beyond those for other areas. Exhibits 1 and 2 contain a map of the East Central Region and the four counties containing urban planning areas. Fond du Lac County has been designated an urbanized area effective May 2002. The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) designation was made by the Governor of Wisconsin in December, 2002. The Fox Cities, Oshkosh and Fond du Lac urban areas thus serve as the focus for regional planning in this four county area, along with the urban water quality focus of the Winnebago pool and the lower Fox River. To the west and north, Green Lake, Marquette, Waushara, Waupaca, Shawano and Menominee counties share a common rural character while having a general orientation to the urban counties as trade and employment centers. However, as one goes to the extremes of the rural counties, these ties fade, or are shifted outside the region. The basic orientation for planning in the East Central region recognizes both the diversity and commonality, and tailors program activities accordingly. However, the overall planning framework is consistent throughout the region. PURPOSE OF THE ANNUAL WORK PROGRAM Within the statutory provisions of SS. 66.0309 (previously SS. 66.945), East Central's stated purpose is the "function and duty of making (preparing) and adopting a master (comprehensive) plan for the physical development of the region." To carry out this responsibility the Commission retains staff and annually programs work activities and budgets. Staffing and budget are based on the work activities scheduled within the constraints of available revenue. This basic enabling statute is complemented by the new comprehensive planning law (Smart Growth) ss. 66.1001 that specifies the content of the regional comprehensive plan. The annual work program is a one year statement which itemizes work to be performed. For each program element (e.g. transportation work element), work objectives, work activities and methodology are listed, any previous work is identified, and products resulting from the proposed work and their anticipated impacts are identified. The funding for East Central or another agency's work is identified by source for 2013 and person-days of professional and technical support are also identified. If subcategories are included under a program element or a major work element, a summary of the funding source and person-days is given in table form. Each year, the previous work program and budget is evaluated and a new annual work program is drafted. Exhibits 3 and 4 contain information on the current structure of the Commission and staffing as they relate to the various work program elements.

PLANNING PROGRAM OVERVIEW East Central’s focus, in accordance with s.66.0309, s.66.1001 and s.16.965, Wis. Stats, is on comprehensive planning. Under the umbrella of comprehensive planning there are a number of distinct, but interrelated, planning programs. These are regional comprehensive planning, transportation planning, community facilities planning, economic development planning and open space and environmental management planning. All the programs are focused on comprehensive planning in that they emphasize land use interrelationships and take into account the environment, the economy and the community. Each of these program elements receives direction from the regional comprehensive plan (regional goals and objectives) and provides feedback to it (objectives, policies, standards and strategies). In addition to the comprehensive program elements, other planning programs address current (local) planning, information systems, and administration respectively. SUMMARY OF COST SHARING The East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission receives funds to support the transportation planning program from FHWA, FTA and WisDOT; the economic development program from EDA; and, the sewer service area program and aquatic invasive species coordinator program from WDNR. The funds are allocated among each work element on the basis of the relative benefits to be derived by each funding agency's program, grant program eligibility requirements, and federal and state cost sharing formulas. The NR-135 Non-Metallic Mining Reclamation Program is funded 100 percent through fees derived from permitted mine sites and their operators.

PART II – 2013 WORK PROGRAM & BUDGET SUMMARY

11

SUMMARY OF BUDGET AND WORK PROGRAM This section outlines a summary of the work activity, budget and staffing requirements for 2013 which are reflected in Part III of this document. A description of the proposed staffing plan, salary adjustments, health insurance assumptions, setting the 2013 tax levy, and revenue/expenses are illustrated and discussed. Lastly, a summary of work plan elements and staffing are contained in this section. PROPOSED 2013 STAFFING PLAN The staffing plan for CY 2013 is proposed to include the following 22 full-time professional positions as follows: Planning Services (15): Executive Director (1) Assistant Director (1) Principal Planner (3) Associate Planner (4) Planning Specialist II (1) Planning Specialist I (0) Planner (5) Technical Services (4): IT Coordinator (1) GIS Coordinator (1) GIS Specialist II (1) GIS Specialist I (0) GIS Assistant (1) Administrative Services (3): Controller* (1) Financial Specialist (0) Administrative Coordinator (1) Administrative Assistant (1)

* Indicates part-time, permanent positions

2013 SALARY ADJUSTMENTS Salary adjustments made within the context of the Commission's personnel policies, whether for cost of living adjustments to the salary schedule or for considerations of meritorious performance, exclude the Executive Director. Any salary adjustment for the Executive Director must be made by the Steering Committee and the Commission directly. There is no discretion on the part of the Executive Director to apply a salary schedule cost of living adjustment to his own salary or to assign any part of any merit pot to his own salary. Typically the Commission has always referenced the national consumer price index rate when deliberating adjustments to the salary schedule. Within East Central's revised personnel policies, meritorious service can be rewarded by an increase within a position pay range and within the amount of money made available for such increases in the annual budget. A total of 2.43% ($24,899) of the total 2012 salaries was approved for use in 2013 salary adjustments. This includes a 1.5% cost-of-living adjustment component ($14,132), and a merit pot component of 0.93% ($10,766). Additionally, two planned staff promotions are considered as approved by the Steering Committee in late 2012 as well as the hiring of a new, entry-level GIS Assistant position. 2013 HEALTH INSURANCE COSTS Historically, health insurance rates have experienced significant annual increased. Due to this trend, and beginning in 2008, the Commission became be part of a ‘deductible-based’ program through the State’s insurance program which lowered its total premiums. The same program is available to staff for 2013 and for the last several years, the Commission has experienced relatively low annual increases. Given the make-up and distribution of health insurance amongst staff, and accounting for a new GIS Assistant position (see Exhibit 5), for 2013 the overall increase for providing this benefit $27,200 or 10.0% ($299,594 total). SETTING THE 2013 TAX LEVY The establishment of the Commission’s levy to its member counties and communities is set forth by state statute, which also limits the levy to an amount no more than 0.003% of the previous year’s equalized property valuation. The Commission has lowered the tax levy rate in each of last eleven consecutive years in order to deal with county-level concerns and budget issues. The 2013 levy rate was approved by the Commission in July, 2012 at 0.0016959% of equalized real property value minus tax increment district valuations. This formula which the levy is based upon currently utilizes the previous year’s (in this case, January 1, 2011) equalized value minus tax increment valuations as a base for establishing the dues assessment. This method provides a known assessment amount and is not be subject to an estimated change in valuation due to only estimates being provided at the time of the Commission’s budget adoption. Using this method, the January 1, 2013 levy amount was $692,821.78, a reduction of -0.73% from the 2012 levy. The levy rate, levy and breakdown by member unit of government are contained in Exhibit 6.

OBJECTIVE(S): To promote Comprehensive Planning within theregion and to further align local plans with the Regional Plan's vision.

This program is overseen by the Regional Comprehensive Plan Committee. It was created in 2002 to coincide with the initiation of the Commission’s Year 2030 Regional Comprehensive Plan development process. The Year 2030 Regional Comprehensive Plan provides the overall framework for guiding future growth and development in the region and follows the requirements of Wisconsin State Statutes 66.1001 (smart growth). The plan, adopted in April, 2008 now serves as a framework with which to address issues of regional concern and impact. The State Statutes outline the nine elements that are to be contained in the regional comprehensive plan. Of the nine elements, six may be defined as substantive and, for East Central’s purpose, and one has been further broken out into two separate elements (7 total): land use; transportation; community facilities; open space and recreation; economic development; housing; and agricultural, natural and cultural resources. The remaining three elements are process based: issues and opportunities; intergovernmental coordination; and plan monitoring and implementation. Responsibility for each element of the regional plan has been assigned to a specific standing committee.

1205 MAJOR WORK ELEMENT: COMMUNITY FACILITIES COMMITTEE ADMINISTRATION/COORDINATION

OBJECTIVE(S): To support the Commission's designated Standing Committees.

ACTIVITY/METHODOLOGY: Staff will provide support activities for the periodic meetings of the Commission's Community Facilities Committee (CFC). This includes, but is not limited to the preparation of meeting agendas, materials, meeting scheduling, meeting attendance, development of written meeting summaries and other duties and follow-up activities assigned by the Committee.

REGIONAL PLAN RELATIONSHIP: The Community Facilities Committee oversees the Community Facilities Element of the Year 2030 Comprehensive Plan.

“Efficient, cost effective community facilities are provided, which enhance the quality of life and ensure prosperity and economic stability for all. The emphasis in service provision is on cooperative planning, fostering collaboration, enhancing partnerships, sharing resources and transcending boundaries, as appropriate. In 2030, there are regional opportunities for the sustainable and safe management of solid waste and recycling, collection, processing and disposal activities. A well managed and planned public and private water supply provides for the region’s citizens and industry. The region is served by a variety of well-functioning public and private wastewater treatment systems, which are capable of accommodating future growth, while limiting the inherent conflicts caused by both urban and rural development patterns. Adequate, cost effective, environmentally conscientious utility infrastructure exists to support industry and the general population. There are cost effective, efficient, quality emergency and non-emergency services to ensure public safety.

REGIONAL PLAN RELATIONSHIP:

The Year 2030 Regional Comprehensive Plan and the various Sewer Service Area Plans spell out more specific issue areas and policies which need to be addressed at a local or regional scale. Details of these issues can be found in one of the comprehensive plan's nine "Plan Guideline" fact sheets contained in Chapter 7:

The 1200 Community Facilities Program is directly related to Chapter 7 of the Year 2030 Regional Comprehensive Plan, and the NR-121 based Sewer Service Area (SSA) plans. The adopted vision for this element is as follows:

A variety of meaningful educational options and opportunities exist for all students. Children and adults in the region are provided with accessible educational, informational and recreational library services and materials in an economically efficient and timely manner. There is a collaborative regional forum to create and implement a strategic framework for the continuum of care for the health and well being of the residents of the region. Through cooperative efforts, park, open space, and recreational facilities and programs are protected and preserved and there are plans for new facilities. There are community facilities which meet the needs of various groups, including youth, elderly, and minorities, in a balanced and financially responsible manner.”

This program element implements the requirements of the “Smart Growth” planning legislation for the Community Facilities and Utilities plan element and incorporates the Commission’s ongoing NR-121 sewer service area (SSA) planning function. This function is derived from East Central being designated by the WDNR as the 208 Water Quality Management Planning Agency for the region and Its advisory capacity is established through a formal funding agreement with the WDNR. SSAs are the basis for promoting orderly growth and efficient development patterns based on the cost-effectiveness of providing public wastewater collection and treatment. This work program element is overseen by the Commission’s Community Facilities Committee (CFC) and consists of the following major work elements:

The primary focus of this program element is to coordinate and promote the federal Economic Development Administration's (EDA's) programs with public and private stakeholders throughout the region in a manner which is consistent with EDA's identified mission. East Central also coordinates and communicates with State of Wisconsin economic development agencies and programs, including the Department of Commerce, thereby furthering economic sustainability through focused efforts. Where appropriate and practical, specific recommendations from the Commission's Year 2030 Regional Comprehensive Plan, 2008 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS 5-year update) and subsequent CEDS annual reports, are addressed, implemented and monitored to further progress on reaching the identified Economic Development vision established within the plan. This program is funded partially by the Economic Development Administration (EDA) through a 3-year planning grant award that began in 2012. This award has a matching funds requirement of 50% unless otherwise noted. As this is a three year program, many of the individual activities have notations as to the timeframe in which they are expected to occur. For the purposes of this document however, only a single year's worth of EDA funding is illustrated and it is assumed that the same amounts will be available for each of the three years. Staff allocations to projects are expected to remain similar, the latter years' activities will be subject to review and updating during the Commission's annual work program process.

"The region is comprised of well-defined urban and rural spaces which improve the individual's perception of 'sense of place', while communities within the region have maintained their individual character and identity. Within the region, surface water resources are planned for in a watershed-based manner that embraces and encourages the use of ‘green infrastructure’ concepts. The proactive protection of natural features not only contributes to water quality, but also to the long term sustainability and economic benefit of the region”.

The Year 2030 Regional Comprehensive Plan spells out more specific issue areas which need to be addressed at a local or regional scale. Details of these issues can be found in one of the comprehensive plan's five separate "Plan Guideline" fact sheets contained in Chapters 9 and 11:

1605 MAJOR WORK ELEMENT: TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (ENVIRONMENTAL)


ACTIVITY/METHODOLOGY: Provide short-term expertise and assistance to local communities on general environmental planning issues through specialized projects on more specific topics such as environmental corridors, non-metallic mining, wetlands, floodplains, etc.

REGIONAL PLAN RELATIONSHIP: These activities are specifically related to implementing the overall vision of the Regional Comprehensive Plan by affecting change at the local level.

The major goals of this functional planning element are to ensure that the region’s natural resources and unique environmental features are identified and managed as an integral part of planning and development throughout the region. These features need to be considered so that valuable resources and their ecological services contribute to, or enhance the economic life of the region. The Year 2030 Regional Comprehensive Plan guides planning activities under the element. Funding for the Environmental Management is derived mainly from the Commission’s tax levy, as many environmental and natural resource issues are regional in nature. The Commission has long supported local assistance in this area and it is expected that the need will continue as the region continues to develop and grow, thereby impacting these resources. The various elements and activities included in this section are:

TOTAL FUNDING SOURCES: TOTAL PERSON DAYS:The 1600 Environmental Management Program is directly related to Chapters 9 and 11 of the Year 2030 Regional Comprehensive Plan, The adopted vision for this element is as follows:

“In 2030, the importance of natural resources, including their link to the regional economy, quality of life, and cost effective service provision is recognized. Natural resource planning is sustainable, consistent and coordinated in order to protect and build a strong sense of ecological place. The Winnebago Pool Lakes and the Fox/Wolf River systems are recognized as the backbone of the region's ecological resources. Geologic resources that are significant from an aesthetic, scientific, cultural, historic, educational, or commercial extraction purpose, have been identified, inventoried, preserved and protected to meet the development and societal needs of the region. The region has proactively addressed public access, recreation, open space, and trail facilities in order to meet the needs of its citizens; enhance the quality of life and environment; realize tax savings and other economic benefits; and to maintain and improve the region's tourism economy"

TOTAL PERSON DAYS:

The 1700 Land Use & Housing Program is directly related to Chapters 7 and 11 of the Year 2030 Regional Comprehensive Plan . The adopted visions for these element are as follows:


Housing: "In 2030 in the East Central Wisconsin region, a dynamic housing market fosters community and neighborhood cohesion. Varied types of quality housing are integrated with community facilities and various transportation alternatives. This housing market meets the needs of urban and rural households of all types, ages, income, cultures and mobility status."

Land Use: “In 2030 in the East Central Wisconsin region, efficient regional land use patterns foster healthy communities, individual community identity, and respect the natural environment.”

OBJECTIVE(S): To assist communities and counties in identifying housing needs within their communities. To help identify and support coordinated efforts to maximize resources to meet housing needs in the most efficient way possible in order to promote the quality of life and housing stock within the region.

ACTIVITY/METHODOLOGY: Staff will provide limited assistance in the development or delivery of land use and housing related data, prepare short studies, or become involved in a local project upon request.

This program element addresses the requirements of the Year 2030 Regional Comprehensive Plan's Land Use and Housing elements. It incorporates the Commission’s ongoing efforts to help address regional land use and housing issues which has a strong relationship with the regional economic development strategy for the region. Access to an adequate supply of decent, safe, affordable housing promotes economic development by contributing to the region’s quality of life through providing an adequate supply of workforce housing and providing choice for households of all types, income, age, cultures and mobility status. The integration of other land uses as they relate to housing is imperative as the Regional Plan calls for an improved mix of land uses so as to improve walkability and decrease energy usage. This element relates closely to the Commission’s Economic Development (1500) Element and, as such, some of the Technical Assistance related to housing may be deemed as being eligible for partial EDA funding. The following two work elements exist under this section:

The Year 2030 Regional Comprehensive Plan spells out more specific issue areas and policies which need to be addressed at a local or regional scale. Details of these issues can be found in one of the comprehensive plan's eight "Plan Guideline" fact sheets contained in Chapters 7 and 11:

COST ALLOCATION PLAN


Cost Allocation Plan

2012


1

Purpose The purpose of this cost allocation plan is to summarize the methods and procedures that this organization will use to allocate costs to various programs, grants, contracts and agreements. OMB Circular A-122, “Cost Principles for Non-Profit Organizations,” establishes the principles for determining costs of grants, contracts and other agreements with the Federal Government. East Central’s Cost Allocation Plan is based on the Direct Allocation method described in OMB Circular A-122. The Direct Allocation Method treats all costs as direct costs except general administration and general expenses. Direct costs are those that can be identified specifically with a particular final cost objective. Indirect costs are those that have been incurred for common or joint objectives and cannot be readily identified with a particular final cost objective. Only costs that are allowable, in accordance with the cost principles, will be allocated to benefiting programs by East Central. Methodology This proposal is based on East Central’s actual costs reconcilable to the audited financial statements for its calendar year ending December 31, 2009. The general approach of East Central in allocating costs to particular grants and contracts is as follows:

A. All allowable direct costs are charged directly to programs, grants, activity, etc. B. Allowable fringe benefits including FICA, Unemployment Insurance, Worker’s

Compensation, health insurance, life & disability, and other fringe benefits are pooled and allocated to programs, grants, etc. using direct labor as the base.

C. All other allowable general and administrative costs (including vacation, holiday, and

sick pay) are pooled and allocated to programs, grants, etc. using direct labor as a base.

Note--Actual costs from the prior calendar year are used for the indirect rate calculation on a provisional basis. Upon completion of the annual single audit (typically early second quarter), a final rate for the current year is determined. Current year’s costs to programs, grants, etc. are then utilized to calculate the final rate.

Allocation of Costs The following information summarizes the procedures that have been used by East Central:

A. Compensation for Personal Services - Documented with timesheets showing time distribution for all employees and allocated based on time spent on each program or grant. Salaries and wages are charged directly to the program for which work has been done. NOTE-Paid interns or summer help labor figures are not burdened with any indirect labor.

B. Insurance - Insurance needed for a particular program is charged directly to the

program requiring the coverage. Other insurance coverage that benefits all programs is allocated to the “overhead” category.

C. Professional Services Costs (such as consultants) -Costs that benefit all programs

are charged directly to the program requiring the service. D. Audit Costs –Annual audit fees will be allocated to the “overhead” category.

E. Postage - Allocated based on usage. Postage expenses are charged directly to

programs to the extent possible. Costs that benefit all programs will be allocated to the overhead category.

F. Printing – Allocated based on usage. Copier expenses are charged directly to

programs to the extent possible. Costs that benefit all programs will be allocated to the overhead category.

G. Program Supplies - Expenses are charged directly to programs to the extent

possible. Costs that benefit all programs will be allocated to the overhead H. Equipment/Depreciation – East Central depreciates equipment when the initial

acquisition cost exceeds $1,000. Items below $1,000 are reflected in the supplies category and expensed in the current year. Costs that benefit all programs will be allocated to the overhead category.

I. Training/Conferences/Seminars –Costs that benefit one program will be charged

directly to the program. Costs that benefit all programs will be allocated to the overhead category.

J. Travel Costs - All travel costs (local and out-of-town) are charged directly to the

program for which the travel was incurred. Travel costs that benefit all programs will be allocated to the overhead category.

K. Vehicle Costs (Vehicle lease payments, vehicle maintenance costs associated with

leased vehicles, gas, repairs, insurance) - Allocated to the program benefiting from


3the vehicle costs, using the federal mileage reimbursement rate. Vehicle costs that benefit all programs will be allocated to the overhead category.

L. Facilities Expenses (includes Rent, Utilities, Maintenance) - Facilities costs related to

general and administrative activities are allocated to the overhead category. M. Other costs (including membership dues, licenses, fees, etc.) – Expenses are

charged directly to programs that benefit from the service. Expenses that benefit all programs will be allocated to the overhead category.

N. Unallowable Costs – Costs that are unallowable in accordance with OMB Circular A-

122 including alcoholic beverages, bad debts, contributions, entertainment, fines & penalties are not included in the calculation of the indirect rate.

6Exhibit 2: Certificate of Indirect Costs

This is to certify that I have reviewed the cost allocation plan submitted herewith and to the best of my

knowledge and believe that:

(1) the information contained in the Plan for the calendar year ending December 31, 2010 was

prepared in accordance with 2 CFR Part 230 (formerly OMB Circular A‐122), and

(2) the costs have been accorded consistent treatment in accordance with generally accepted

accounting principles, and

(3) an adequate accounting and statistical system exists to support claims that will be made

under the Plan. The system prevents costs from being allocated to Federal programs as indirect

costs that have already been charged to such programs as direct costs, and

(4) the information provided in support of the Cost Allocation Plan is accurate, and

(5) consistent treatment was accorded to similar costs for all project categories regardless of the

source of funds, and

(5) all federally unallowable costs have been excluded from allocations.

I declare that the foregoing is true and correct.
