EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

ATTACHMENT (AMENDED AS SHOWN)

Transition Oversight Task Force Purpose: To ensure a smooth transition away from the current Tri-County Agreement creating North Central Health Care, a regional organization with an independent North Central Community Services Program Board, for providing mental health, disability and alcohol and drug abuse services to a Marathon County Human Services Department, which provides the Chapter 51, community services described above, but also provides child welfare services under Chapter 46 of the Wisconsin Statutes. Background: At their January meeting the County Board adopted a resolution expressing its intent to pursue the creation of a Marathon County Human Services Department and withdraw from the Tri-County contract which creates the North Central Community Services Board and termination of Marathon County’s relationship with North Central Health Care. The same resolution directed the County Administrator to conduct the studies and create the plans necessary for the State Officials to approve the merger of mental health and child welfare services into a new Marathon County Human Services Department. This oversight group, representative of other public-policy groups and stakeholders is created to ensure the planning go forward efficiently and give direction by providing feedback and making suggestions in response to draft documents. Membership: The Oversight Task Force will be chaired by the Marathon County Board Chair. Other members are: Health and Human Services Committee Chair, Public Safety Committee Chair, North Central Community Services program Board Chair, Sheriff Staff support will be provided by and supported by the County Administrator The Task Force reports to the Executive Committee. Duties and Responsibilities: Ensure that adequate resources are allocated to the planning Review and provide feedback to draft plans Ensure coordination of efforts Maintain regular communication with the County Board Chairs of Lincoln and Langlade

Counties to inform them of the broad direction of the planning Provide a final review of the delivery of service plan and either conduct a public hearing or

ensure that the County Board or one of the Standing Committees conducts a public hearing Monitor the administrative timeline to ensure that plans are in place and approvals obtained

for a January 1, 2018 implementation of a Marathon County Department of Human Services Duration: To begin meeting any time after approval of the Charter, at the discretion of the Task Force Chair and the Task Force will complete its mission in guiding the transition by 12/31/17, at which time a Marathon County Human Services Board will be in place to recommend program priorities and policies, identify unmet service needs and prepare short-term and long-term plans and budgets for meeting such priorities and needs. Discussion: The charge should be broadened to study the impact to human services currently delivered

through the North Central Community Service Program structure and additionally those other human services which will be impacted by the transition to a County Human Services Department.

The Task Force should report to the Health and Human Services Committee, instead of the Executive Committee.

It is important to understand the ramifications of transitioning to a Department of Human Services. For instance, 75% of NCHC revenue comes from provider contracts. They can’t bill if they don’t have a provider number.

Having the Task Force report to the Executive Committee instead of Health and Human Services is in violation of our County Board Rules.

NCHC has a stand-alone Board and has a different reporting relationship to the Health and Human Service Committee. Feel there is authority under the County Board Rules to have the task force report to the Executive Committee.

ATTACHMENT - ADDENDUM A

Sec. 9.XX, General Code of Ordinances for Marathon County. SECTION 1. TITLE. This ordinance is created as the Marathon County Uniform Addressing System Ordinance. SECTION 2. PURPOSE This ordinance is enacted for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a county addressing system for Marathon County that defines policies and administrative procedures related to the naming of roads, signing of roads, assigning of addresses, location of address signs, and ongoing maintenance of the system. The intent of this addressing system is to assign each location a

unique address which will aid emergency personal in providing fire protection, emergency medical services, and law enforcement services; and meet other general locational needs such as delivery services of the public. Implementation of the county addressing system will advance the Marathon County Strategic Plan by providing leadership among state, regional, and local public and private entities responsible for safety and emergency response services. SECTION 3. AUTHORIZATION This ordinance is enacted under the authority granted to the County in Section 59.54(4) and (4m) Wisconsin Statutes. SECTION 4. APPLICATION The provisions of this section shall apply to each road, home, business, farm, structure, or other establishments in the unincorporated areas of the County. Incorporated areas are exempt from this section unless otherwise indicated in any adopted intergovernmental agreement. SECTION 5. ADMINISTRATION

(a) The policy implementation and tracking of outcomes shall be provided by the Public Safety Committee. (b) The administrative responsibility of this section shall be administered by the Conservation, Planning, and Zoning (CPZ) Department. CPZ will provide an annual report to the Public Safety Committee which tracks the implementation of the county addressing system relative to policy outcomes, strategic plan objectives, and indicators of success (c) The CPZ Director or designee shall have the responsibilities of coordinating the ongoing maintenance of the system. These duties shall include: assignment of addresses, maintenance of an accurate road name listing, update of maps, management of address sign installations, and enforcement of the provisions of this ordinance. SECTION 6. DEFINITIONS (a) ADDRESS SIGN. An individual address plate placed on a named road or driveway identifying a location address. (b) APPLICATION FORM. The form required for assignment of a new address. (c) PRIVATE ROAD. Any road on private property leading to three or more driveways and/or principle structures. (d) ROAD SIGN. A sign posted at a road intersection that identifies the road name(s). SECTION 7. UNIFORM ADDRESSING REQUIREMENTS (a) County Addressing Grid System. (1) Marathon County shall establish a uniform addressing grid.

(b) Road Naming Selection.

The following uniform criteria are established for naming all roads in the unincorporated areas of Marathon County:

(1) U.S. and State Trunk Highways. Those presently designated by number by State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation, (WIS DOT) shall retain such designation. New U.S. and state trunk highway shall be numbered by (WIS DOT).

(2) County Highways. County Highways shall be designated by letter (e.g. County Road “X”). Changes to or new county highways shall be named by the Marathon County Infrastructure Committee.

(3) County Forest Roads. County Forest Roads shall be designated by number (e.g. County Forest Road “10”). Changes to or new county forest roads shall be named by Marathon County Environmental Resources Committee.

(4) Other Public Roads. All other public roads shall be designated by naming according to the following procedures:

a. All roads named on the official Marathon County Road Naming Map prepared by CPZ which do not duplicate other road names on the County Addressing Grid, shall retain their names.

b. Town boards may, by resolution, name new town roads and submit the name and a map showing its location to CPZ for comparison to existing road names in order to avoid conflicts with other roads having similar or identical names. If there is no conflict, the new name shall be added to the master index of road names and be included on the next official road naming map. If there is a conflict with another road name, CPZ may cooperate with the town board in the selection of a name which does not conflict with other road names in the county.

(5) Private Roads. When consistent with the public interest in providing government and emergency services and on application of the owner, the town may name private roads following the same process that is used in naming public roads. Owner(s) of the lands on which any such private road is located must agree, by written instrument, to maintain approved signs displaying the road name(s) assigned by the department. Owner(s), heirs, successors and assigns, shall not thereafter change the name of any such road without written consent of CPZ.

(c) Road Name Signs.

(1) Road name signs shall be placed at the intersections of all roads, showing the names of the roads in accordance with the official road naming map. Road name signs are the responsibility of the town in which the road is located. Road name signs within private, commercial, business, industrial, apartment, and condominium complexes shall be the sole responsibility of the property owner(s). (2) The type of lettering, composition, material, color, mounting posts, and accessories shall be in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

ADDENDUM B MARATHON COUNTY UNIFORM ADDRESSING SYSTEM

POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDANCE Policy Statement: Marathon County is committed to creating the safest county in Wisconsin. Our customers expect the County and its emergency response partners to get the right response to the right person at the right time in order to protect people, property, and our environmental resources. The establishment of a uniform system will create safer addressing by ensuring reliable and accurate response.

Marathon County will be making a multi-million dollar information system investment to replace the existing Land Records System and Tiburon (law enforcement software). It is imperative that the installation of these software systems should complement each other with a reliable and uniform addressing system.

Service

Marathon County will establish and maintain a uniform county addressing system with policy and administrative guidelines that specify: site address criteria street naming criteria sign standards sign placement criteria and maintenance responsibilities

Service to Whom

The provisions of the Marathon County Uniform Addressing System Ordinance shall apply to each road, home, business, farm, structure, or other establishment in the unincorporated areas of the County.

Note: Incorporated areas are exempt from this section unless otherwise indicated in any adopted intergovernmental agreement or action.

At What Cost

Executive Committee has proposed to set aside up $1.2 million dollars to offset part of the municipal cost of implementation of the addressing system. Under consideration is reimbursement not to exceed $20 per address or actual cost, whichever is less.

This would be a time limited offer of reimbursement to all municipalities that are required to participate and those which elect to participate by a date certain (i.e. six months after the end of the implementation process).

Note: Marathon County has 60,000 addresses, 24,000 of which are rural addresses. It is difficult to project actual cost because of several unknown variables. What is known is that all 24,000 rural addresses would have a new fire number at approximately $35 for fire number and post, not including installation. It is unknown if all posts would need to be replaced. Total cost if every fire number and post needed to be replaced (not including installation) would be $500,400 for 100% of unincorporated areas. Total number of street signs needing replacement is unknown at this time.

Policy Guidelines: 1. This rule repeals and replaces all previous policies and procedures established by Marathon

County regarding rural addressing, including Ordinances 0-15-95 and 0-8-98. 2. The Public Safety Committee is responsible for the Marathon County Uniform Addressing

System Ordinance. 3. The Public Safety Committee shall provide policy implementation and tracking of outcomes. 4. CPZ shall bring modifications to the addressing guidelines and standards to the Public Safety

Committee for approval.

Administrative: 1. The administrative responsibilities of this section shall be with the Conservation, Planning,

and Zoning (CPZ) Department. 2. CPZ will provide an annual report to the Public Safety Committee which tracks the

implementation of the county uniform addressing system relative to policy outcomes, strategic plan objectives, and indicators of success.

3. The CPZ Director or designee shall have the responsibility to coordinate the commencement and the ongoing operations of the system.

Guidelines and Standards:

1. County Addressing Grid System.

(a) West-East or South-North Roads. There shall be an established west baseline and south baseline. The address number is a six digit number based on a grid of 1600 numbers per mile. The grid starts at the southwest corner of the county. A predominately west/east road will start at the west baseline of 100,000. A predominately south/north road will start from the south baseline of 200,000. Even numbers will be on the north and west sides of a road; odd numbers will be on the south and east sides of the road.

(b) Angled Roads will be determined by CPZ and be assigned numbers accordingly, based on the significant direction of the road. Roads with a change of direction at an angle more than 75 degrees shall be numbered by adjusting the numbers.

2. Street Names: CPZ shall establish street names in accordance with the following guidelines: (a) Duplication of names is to be avoided. CPZ shall keep a list of the street names in the county, including the incorporated areas within the county, so that street names will not be duplicated. (b) Continuous roads shall bear the same name throughout the county. (c) Any State Highways and County Roads which have a designated local name may retain such name. (d) Use of standard suffixes, directional suffixes, or prefixes as road names shall not be permitted. (e) Special characters in road names such as hyphens, apostrophes or dashes shall not be permitted. (f) Street names shall not exceed more than thirty (30) letters and/or spaces including the street type.

The following generic classes of street suffixes are noted for providing a basic guide for name designation: (g) Primarily and secondary roads which are designed to carry traffic from one sector to another within the county: Freeway, Highway, Parkway, County Road (h) Collectors roads which are designed to carry limited through traffic while also providing access from private driveways and smaller local roads. Road, Street, Avenue, Drive, Boulevard (i) Local residential access streets: Lane, Trail, Drive, Terrace, Avenue (j) Local residential access streets which begin and end on the same collector: Loop, Circle, Way (k) Local residential access streets which are permanent dead ends: Court, Place, Circle, Way (l) Other suffixes not listed above may be considered, or variations from the above may be allowed at the discretion of CPZ.

3. Addressing: (a) Assignment of Addresses. (1) A site address application must be completed before an address will be assigned. Applicants shall apply for an address through the Marathon County Conservation, Planning, and

Zoning (CPZ) Department using the Address Application Form. The applicant shall provide adequate information regarding the location such as a site plan showing the parcel on which the proposed structure will be located and permanent driveway access to the structure. (2) Addresses shall be assigned an access point based on the location of the centerline of the driveway as it intersects the named road. (3) All landowners shall check with the town, county, or state authorities to determine the necessity of driveway permits to access parcels. (4) Vanity site addresses that do not conform to Marathon County’s addressing grid shall not be permitted. (5) There shall be no use of fractional, alpha-numeric, or hyphenated address numbers.

(6) Apartment buildings, mobile home parks, and campgrounds shall be assigned one number. The owner shall be responsible for providing designated numbering of each individual unit/lot before an address is issued (e.g. 100 Parkview Ln Suite 1).

(b) Address Sign and Placement.

(1) All signs shall be two (2) sided flag style and reflective.

(2) The name of the town will be above the number with the road name below the number.

(3) The address sign shall be posted by the township and be placed at the intersection of the public or private road and the access of the property.

(4) The sign shall be installed on the right side of the driveway (accessing from the road) and the numbers shall be perpendicular to the roadway.

(5) The sign shall be installed to be not less than 3½ feet or more than 4½ feet from the ground level and shall not be concealed from view of the road. The sign shall be a maximum of 15 feet from the driveway and from the road right-of-way. At the discretion of CPZ, alternate posting requirements may be necessary due to utilities, structures, and any other obstructions within the desired sign location.

(6) After installation, the property owner shall be responsible to maintain the county addressing sign. Maintenance shall include clearing vegetation, and keeping the sign in a condition so it is easily visible and legible at all times. The property owner is responsible for ordering a replacement sign if the sign is damaged or destroyed.

(c) Change of Existing Addresses. Existing addresses may be changed for just cause, if:

(1) Site address is out of sequence or there is an odd/even error on the road segment.

(2) Site where addresses of one or both neighboring parcels were assigned in such a way that there is no address available for a vacant lot(s).

(3) Change of access point for the structure/parcel.

(4) Road name change.

(5) Any other reason that is consistent with the intent of this ordinance.

(d) Corrections. Whenever an error in a numeric address comes to the attention of CPZ, the department will correct the error.

(1) Error will be documented with a date.

(2) A new numeric address will be determined using the county addressing grid.

(3) The property owner(s) will be contacted, in writing, using the Marathon County Land Records property information to identify ownership and mailing information.

(4) Notification to agencies necessary to receive the address change (e.g. local fire and rescue services, post office, etc.)

4. Implementation Process (To be determined and clarified through Request for Proposals (RFP) process).

5. Publishing CPZ will publish and post to the website the Uniform Addressing System Standards.

6. Review and Appeal Any person may appeal an administrative decision to the Board of Review. Refer to the Marathon County Code of Ordinance, Chapter 24 of Administrative Review Procedure.

7. Enforcement Person, corporation, association, or entity is notified of violation. Staff will work with them to correct violation. If they do not cooperate and fail to come into compliance they will be issued a citation to attempt to gain compliance. A second citation will be issued, if the first did not gain compliance. If the second citation does not gain compliance the matter will be referred to the Corporation Counsel for prosecution of violation of the ordinance. Violations will not be prosecuted until six (6) months after the end of the implementation process. Discussion: Incorporated municipalities are not required by law to participate. The Villages of Rothschild and Weston have agreed to participate. If a town doesn’t want to participate, they could incorporate. Public safety is the main reason for changing the address system. With the county having to replace Tiburon and the land records system, this is the best time to

make the change. Why are funds coming from the Environmental Impact Fund? Chairperson Gibbs explained the Executive Committee wanted to have a guarantee that

funding will be there, and this Board cannot bind a future Board. Using the EIF funds guarantees the money will be there, but the resolution also requests that CIP funding be used in the future if there is money available.

Clark County updated their address grid six years ago and they love it. Action: MOTION BY HILDEBRANDT, SECOND BY ERMELING, TO ENACT THE ORDINANCE. MOTION BY OPALL, SECOND BY MILLER TO AMEND THE ORDINANCE THAT THE TOWN OF RIB MOUNTAIN BE GIVEN A CHOICE OF WHETHER OR NOT TO PARTICIPATE, LIKE THE INCORPORATED CITIES AND VILLAGES.

RESOLUTION #R-12-16 Amending 2016 Budget to Commit $1.2 Million from Environmental Impact Fund

to Support Transition of Municipalities to Uniform Addressing WHEREAS, the Marathon County Board of Supervisors has passed [Pending County Board action on February 16] Ordinance #O-7-16 establishing a Uniform Addressing System in Marathon County; and WHEREAS, the Executive Committee has recommended that, because a future board cannot be bound by an action in 2016, that the 2016 Budget be amended to set aside funds to support unincorporated municipalities that are required to implement Uniform Addressing and incorporated municipalities that elect to implement Uniform Addressing as follows: A. Set aside $1.2 million from Marathon County’s Environmental Impact Fund (EIF) in the 2016 budget as a pledge to fund up to $20 per address requiring change in each municipality participating in Uniform Addressing; and B. The Conservation Planning and Zoning Department will submit Uniform Addressing implementation as a project to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Committee for ranking within the 2017 Budget process. To the extent that funds from CIP, or any other source, are budgeted for 2017, they shall supplant or replace the funds from the EIF pledged by this amendment. WHEREAS, Ordinance #O-22-14 establishes Marathon County’s policy for the submittal and funding of projects with Environmental Impact Funds and has been codified as §2.01(23), Rule 23, of the General Code of Ordinances for Marathon County; and WHEREAS, the County Board has voted [Pending county board action on February 16] by a two-third majority of a quorum to suspend its rule in order to consider this Resolution; and WHEREAS, sec. 65.90(5)(a), Wis. Stats., dictates that appropriations in the Marathon County budget may not be modified unless authorized by a vote of two-thirds of the entire membership of the County Board of Supervisors, and WHEREAS, sec. 16.696(4), Wis. Stats., requires the permission of the Wisconsin Public Service Commission to use EIF funds for a non-environmental purpose; and WHEREAS, the Environmental Resources Committee and the Finance and Property Committee [Pending Joint Committee action February 15, 2016] have both reviewed and approved use of the Environmental Impact Fund in this manner. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. That the 2016 Budget is hereby amended to provide $1.2 million from the Marathon County Environmental Impact Fund to support municipalities located within Marathon, contingent upon Public Service Commission Approval. 2. That a Class 1 Notice of this transaction be published within (10) days of its Adoption. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funds shall be expended as follows: 1. Up to $20.00 per address requiring change shall be reimbursed to each municipality participating in Uniform Addressing. Payment to each municipality shall not exceed the actual costs for implementation. 2. Conservation, Planning and Zoning shall set time limits and procedures for reimbursement as set forth above. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the cost of implementation shall be submitted by the Conservation, Planning and Zoning Department as a project to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Committee for ranking within the 2017 Budget process. To the extent that funds from CIP,

or any other source, are budgeted for 2017, they shall supplant or replace the funds from the EIF pledged by this amendment. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any funds set aside by this resolution that are not expended as set forth above shall be returned to the EIF and shall not be subject to standard Marathon County policy which places unexpended funds in CIP fund . BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Board of Supervisors hereby authorizes and directs the County Clerk to issue checks pursuant to this resolution and the Marathon County Treasurer to honor said checks. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the proper officers of Marathon County are hereby authorized and directed to take all actions necessary to effectuate this Resolution. Respectfully submitted this 16th day of February, 2016. Fiscal Impact: This resolution reduces the available Environmental Impact Funds by $1.2 million. The amount was calculated based on an estimated total of 60,000 addresses within Marathon County that may require change under Uniform Addressing, if all municipalities participate, and the amount of $20 per address. There is no additional County levy appropriated in this resolution. EXECUTIVE, ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES & FINANCE & PROPERTY COMMITTEES Discussion: A 2/3 vote is required to adopt the resolution. A secure funding source is needed to engage municipalities. The recommendation passed

unanimously in the Finance Committee and 5-1 by the Environmental Resources Committee. Even if the project ranks high, don’t think the CIP budget will have enough funds for the

addressing project. Approval to use these funds is needed from WPSC. Their standard is that the project must be

in the publics’ interest.
