more binds our health plans and emergency management plans puts them all in one place for us to be able to update them easier, easier to access, easier to share out. Uh their consulting stuff
assures were in line on the emergency management side with the state requirements. There's about 90ome requirements in the inwok they call it. It's a crosswalk that you got to compare. This allows us to assure we're
in that and having the firm and the website do it. It does take some of the administrative duties away from me so I can do other things. We've had them for either two or three years. We originally purchased this service with COVID funds.
Okay. Because it says an addendum to the master service agreement dated August 8th, 2023. Okay. Um, so and so this extends it out to did I say 26? 26.
Um, and so what do they review things annually or do you really feel we're getting our money's worth? It's not a small amount of It's It's definitely not a small amount of money. I think the part we're missing here with the new funds is it's also going to help us do
our countywide continuity of operations plan. So, our internal plan for each department so that if we have an emergency outside, we can assure we're continuing services inside and combine those plans. Right now, those plans are
kind of siloed where each department has their own where this would house them all in one place, make them accessible to everybody and make sure we're not duplicating services and efforts during an emergency, too.
Anybody else got any other questions? Is it something that eventually is it is is it a continuing expense or is it something hey we kind of learn from this we get it operational get it into function and maybe now it's just something we need to do every once in a while and review kind of like a comp plan type deal. You kind of put it into
place. We know what we need to do. Yeah. There's some structural things we can handle internally and then maybe once every so many years we have to come back in or something like that. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I know what you're saying. That's use that money for something better, right? Yeah, that's that's a potential. I mean, I I will say
this is kind of a standard across the board that they use somebody to do their plans uh just because most emergency managements are one person. So, but yeah, there's ways to look at doing
different things and just say you could free that money up now. you could use that to XYZ, you know, rather than getting it to a consultant, right? I think that's Commissioner Ward was going is we're seeing more of that. It costs a lot of money. You know, consultants aren't cheap and so is there a way to
reappropriate the dollars and, you know, just curious. Yeah. Right now, I feel this is a good use of the money so that we get No, disagree. Just, you know, maybe there's an outlay that down the road, you know, put that towards equipment or something, you know, if we don't need them. Well, I think we can every time we do a contract, we can
review and make sure we're getting It'd be a good goal. Madam Chair, yes, Commissioner My I do want to say that I think it is important based on um the conversations that I hear that happened to the at the emergency coordinating
committee meeting um that there are always ongoing efforts to practice and for the groups to get together. I learned just this morning that the radio club, which does a lot of
communication work and members of the community of emergency management, um they're having a 24-hour um event coming up soon where they practice what they would do in the case of an emergency.
So, emergency plans I don't think are meant to be written and then put on the shelf. I think that the this the first responders in this county and across the region get together regularly to do trainings and to do practice sessions
like the tabletop sessions that I have seen. So I don't see keeping the plan current and in compliance as a problem so that when the day comes we will be prepared. Commissioner Vley just to get it on the table and we can continue conversation of course I'll move to
approve consent item 4.1 second. Third motion by Commissioner Vagley, second by Commissioner Olsen to approve the addendum to contract B plan to review and update emergency plans. Um I I am a little confused with the funding. Um
there's several references here. So we got Foundational Public Health is 30,244. Then responsible sustainable grant new code created with 2005 grant dollars. And then you've got a 2024 GL
code. Is that those two were combined for the when the uh the agenda items were due of finance is working on creating a new GL code for the next fiscal year for this grant. So it is one amount of $8,77 that will be coming from the response sustainability grant which is a
public health grant and then the 30,244 will be coming from our foundational public health responsibilities grant. Okay. And are those always subject to the whims of the every is subject to whims. Yep. But these these are both state funds um that
have been allocated and there has not been any active discussion about those grants um okay going anywhere else. Commissioner. Yeah. Um and Ben, I hope you don't realize where I don't know if anybody else any board members I was a national and state certified EMT. I don't know if anybody else was ever any of those and understood the woes of
challenges of funding and where that comes from and and uh so I' I've been that I' also been a mayor that's had to make sure those departments kept going and figured out where the funding came from. So very well verssed on both actively involved and inactively involved to to stay the comments that I
made and that's one of the things we always looked at is where could we pull funds from when the funding dried up to come up with equipment and things that ran dry, right? Right? When the well runs dry, what do you do? Right? And you can see we have that issue just as a state problem is we're running out of
funding. So that's why I just challenged the question and said, you know, here's an area that maybe if we get good at it, it's not that it isn't necessary. It's just if we get good at it, maybe we can use some of those down the road and we can say, "Hey, we don't need that." So I wanted you to know that. I do appreciate that and feel that because I've been on
both sides of it, including the guy sitting there doing CPR uh literally in the road trying to save somebody's life multiple times in my life. So, um, and it's a lot of work to get state certified, national certified. So, um, yeah, that was that was the point of the message. So, I appreciate and we
appreciate what you do. Yeah. And this is the upfront cost, too. So, if we continue it, it'll be a less maintenance cost if we continue with them. But, I'm all for always reviewing. Oh, yes. Don't Don't run away. I got one more question.
So, um, does the does the city include it in our emergency or do they have their own emergency plan? They have their own emergency plan. They have their own We we split I don't know how many years ago now. It was before uh I had this
position. We used to share one, but we split 10 plus years ago now. So, Okay. Yeah. So, and the other small cities though, are they included in our countywide plan or um so there's a population cut off for if they need to
have them or not? 2500 that sound that was going to be somewhere around there. I think it's 2500 is around there. So, Good View's got one. St. Charles has one. Uh and then it's optional. Most of our smaller towns have something just a
base something that we do help with. But when it comes to disaster funding and stuff, everybody in Winona County is covered under our plan because we don't have any cities over 100,000 people. I can speak I believe for Alura. I believe
I was the mayor in one of the multiple terms and when we actually updated ours and there the county was involved actually I think even the state was involved with that a little bit. So Okay. All right. Okay. Thank you. Um, we have a motion and a second to approve.
Any further discussion? All those in favor say I. I. Oppos? Nay. Approved. And that shows up on the general business then. Uh, county board general business. Uh, item five, general business. Does anybody have any business

So we'll make 6.6. 6 7.01 and then uh possibly a comment at the end. Okay, with those we have an amended agenda. Is there a motion to approve?
We'll move. I'll second that. Okay, we have a motion by Commissioner Ellie and seconded by Commissioner Vegley to approve the amended agenda. All those in favor say I. Oppos? Nay. Approve. Miss Holty, would you read the remaining items, please? Absolutely. 6.1 Approve

dispersements. I'll move to approve the consent items. Second. We have a motion by Commissioner Vagley, second by Commissioner Olsen to approve the consent business. Any further discussion? All those in favor say I.
Nay. Okay. Consent approved. All right. Then general business uh 6.3 uh approve purchase of service agreement with Ethical Solutions LLC for guardianship conservator services. Commissioner Elling,
I just had a couple questions. I actually had a constituent reach out on that and ask me a few questions and unfortunately it was today. Um so I didn't have any time to and and I honestly could not answer the questions. So I just decided to do it here this evening. I know that we had some other
contracts with that and I guess I'm just trying to wrap my head around we have we had a contract back in February and one in April and now this one. Is it is do we have multiple contracts just because we're this is it situational if we can't get somebody in a particular place or do
they have a specialty or why do we have multiple? I'm just again I'm asking the questions because I I truly don't understand and it is quite an expense. So yes madam chair may I? Yes. So the logic to having multiple contracts is so
that um we don't have a waiting list. Um so if one vendor is full, they can select another vendor, but also if we need to provide services to individuals who are out who are outside of Winona County and they're still our liability
or our our expense. And so we have some vendors that are outlined. So the facetime or or I'm sorry the travel time is less if we have vendors in that area located in different areas. Yes. Yeah. So they've kind of have I mean if you read through like what what what they're capable of and what they do. Is there a
particular specialties that they each have or is it that they're all the same. It's just based on maybe location and timing type of a deal or is it and that that's really why we have three. Correct. So because the rates are somewhat similar if I remember right. Yeah. Okay. So that's the answer is
we're just setting ourselves up so we don't fail. We we don't we're not writing these checks unless we actually use their services. They have to meet the mandate um the criteria under the law. Right. But we're not sending them any money until we actually use their services. Correct. And they kind of give
us a platform in which that is right. So we could have 10 of them just on I guess a non-paid retainer type of a deal is what we're trying to do. We're just setting it up preemptive. So if we need them, we have them. If we don't, so be it. Is that a fair statement? Correct. Okay. Perfect. Thank you. That's all I needed. Excellent. I do have an
additional question. This is as indicated underfunding totally all levy dollars and it's good chunk of change. Um 2025 it's budgeted at just under $400,000. How many clients do we have in
this category? I mean, this is Winona County. I mean, we're not a meopolis, right? That varies. It's demand. So when it's needed, it's provided. Um when I asked management for numbers, they were
unable to give me exact numbers. Maybe we need to pursue a followup to to have some idea because I don't know if it's growing or it's less and does um and again it did say that the county does the um
determination of of uh if the the services are needed. Um so I guess I would you know just ballpark how many people and people can come into needing guardianship and they can go off correct of needing
guardianship. Okay. So it can come and go. So I guess just some followup from staff if they can give us some idea and and you did say 2024 lime expendit l I line item expenditures was
$423,958 and we budgeted $399,000. So, I mean, it seems like it's close. Um, but again, I I have no idea. Commissioner, is it such a deal? Well, we don't have a choice. It's a statute. So, even though we
budgeted, we can't, you know, we can't get to our budget number and say, "Well, we're done. Sorry, we can't do it." Right. And so, I think that's the trend. That would be interesting to see where that's We'll see what we can do. Yeah. Okay. Commissioner vaguely. Uh, I'll move to
approve what had formerly been 6.3. Is it now 7.0? I believe 70. Yep. Second. Okay. We have a motion by Commissioner Vaguely, second by Commissioner Olsson to approve the purchase of service agreement with Ethical Solutions LLC for guardianship
conservative services. Thank you for clarification. That was good. Yeah. And here, just so the the public knows, here is a service that is mandated by the state of Minnesota, but it is all on local levy dollars. Um, and I'm afraid to say that that may be the trend. Um,
so that's why we're asking a few more uh pertinent questions. Um, all those in favor say I. Oppos? Nay. Okay. Approved. Um, 6.6 approve nonUN wage grids for 2025 to
2027. And I just um my philosophy is I see nothing in there referencing any kind of pay for performance. So I cannot support a a wage grid. Motion to approve. I'll second. We have a motion by Commissioner Olsen, seconded by
Commissioner Meyer to approve the non-UN wage grids for 2025 through 2027. Any further discussion? All those in favor say I. Oppos? Nay. Nay. Okay. Okay. Now we're into uh 7.1.
uh discuss and appoint comprehensive plan steering committee members. That's on page 97. And first of all, I was very pleased with how many applicants we had. I thought that was outstanding. Um and I appreciate the whoever worked on
downscaling our our application questions and process I think was much u appreciated by anybody trying to fill out. Yes. to that in the way it's presented in the kind of the rows and columns. That was that that's very helpful. Yeah. How they summarize it
though. I just have to learn how to print it larger came across my screen. Okay. Now it um Lou are you or or Ross the lead on this one? I don't have
anything to present to you other than what's before you in your packet. Uh but we did get uh 23 applicants which like you said was uh I was happy with um both the number and the um um and the uh representation that we were looking for
um and the quality of the applicants. Um I don't have any concerns with anybody on the list. Um most of them I'm somewhat familiar with um um but um um yeah, no concerns and again happy with what we got. Mr. vaguely. I apologize. I
didn't ask this question ahead of time to either Lou or maybe even to Marshall or maybe Josh knows. Are the Millers related? Not that it matters. There's a Rob Miller and Michael Miller. I do not believe so. Yeah. One's a dairy farmer and one's the former Miller just south of Lew and Mike Miller is lives in the
city of St. Charles and former small business owner. Yeah. Commissioner V. Um we hadn't discussed the process to do this, right? So now will this begin a general conversation? There's 23 people that applied. Yeah. I mean, you had it in your packet from March. Um, and we we
discussed and settled on a rough idea of what we want we're looking for for representation and size. This is a little bit bigger than we were we're shooting for, but um um but ultimately it's up to the board um who they want to apply and how many. Um one thing that we haven't discussed um other than what's
in your packet and who we got applications from was county board representation. So, if you want to discuss um um who from the county board would also like to possibly sit on the um steering committee. Um I don't think anybody
applied and the deadlines passed. So, true. Um but it's not your pleasure, Commissioner Bley. Well, I'm going to take a stab at this. Um we could go through person by person. Um, and maybe I'm going to I'm guessing I'm probably
going to be on the high side of what people might either the board or the staff might be interested in. Um, but I'm going to suggest and maybe it won't work which which case it's fine is that we approve everyone except for these three and there's a reason for these
three. Marcia Ratliff, we have the city covered a number of different ways. Alex Her because I think we have two city of Winona transit people, right? Yep. and then Don Evston because we have a number of current and other former planning commission members. So that would leave
20 people which I realize is on the big side etc. But that's just one taking one stab at it wasn't even here yet. That's the uh Alex her he's moving yeah I remember reading one of them in there that but he's not a resident right and plus
transportation is important. Yes. In addition to that, um Nick Leur lives over on um Lake Boulevard. So he is a constituent of mine. So he lives in the city of Winona. Um as does Katie Anthony, who
also lives very near him on the same street. So I'm thinking since they're both individuals who live inside the city and um are really just applying as at large community members that perhaps we could exclude them as well. One or
both? Both of them, I'm thinking. So, Mr. Leer, Nicholas Leur. Yeah. And Katie Anthony. Katie Anthony. They both add in uh I love their descriptions of why they were interested. But, but if you think that's
So, that's down to 18. 18. Okay. And actually, Jennifer lived she lived in Winona County. Stock. She lives in Stockton. Stockton. That's right. Yeah. I couldn't remember who she I didn't read that, but I knew I know who she is, but I just couldn't remember where she live.
Well, the balance fits most of those categories. Are we missing any, Lou? I think we've got some of them covered twice over. I think we're missing um I think there was um No, I I think we got them all, didn't we? I think we did.
um with questions Jennifer with um with TU I think she covered the conservation group which um came in late um I don't think it was in the application I think did we ask them their availability I I when is this group going to well and the
consultant are we meeting in the evening we haven't had time um times discussed or pinned down but we will be working with whoever you appoint to uh find meeting times so that one the evenings, but there's probably dairy farmers who'd rather meet at other
times, too. So, yeah, I think once the staff can work with the with the group and find that may change um some availability. I don't know potentially. Yeah, we'll do our best to find a time that works for everybody. What is the proposed one of the
questions I got, what are the what are the proposed amount of meetings? Um at least five. Yep. Um there could be more, but um um there's there's five there's five phases of the plan, and so there'd be one um steering committee meeting at
each phase along the way throughout the plan. Okay, with those one, two, three, four, five that we took off the list, is everybody comfortable with the remaining 18? Still heavily roll as I should. Yeah,
I'm good with Okay. So, do we have a motion to I'll make the motion you appoint these 18 individuals? Uh I guess kind of as read. I don't think we're going to go through them all unless you would like me to name them off. Um did you get the Yeah, I got it.
Okay, I'll second the motion. Okay, we have a motion by Commissioner Eline, seconded by Commissioner Vagley to approve the 18 uh citizens who applied for the plan. Commissioner Olsson, one question with that. Uh
Lou, the ones that were excluded, do we still are we still going to make a goal of having all these areas represented? Um I believe we would still um represent all those areas. Yep. Most of those were at large or there was a couple um repeat
so I think we're still good. Um the one that madam chair yes your mic uh is is there somebody here who's on the parks and environment committee I don't believe we do have a parks and environment committee is that maybe what we meant by parks and recreation or do
we have that is that is one area um um you're right that would be the area that we don't have great representation for. there are other conservation folks um right and we did it was mentioned at the last meeting you brought it up so even though yeah I mean I sent multiple emails to that group as well and
encouraging them so I feel like we try to due diligence we've got conservation definitely okay any further discussion all right those in favor of making the appointment say I oppos nay okay the citizen appointments have been
made thank you we discuss the staff me the county board members I thought it'd be one city, one girl's vote, whatever the wishes of the board are because you would prefer Lou. Well, you want a commissioner or two on there,
right? Yes. I mean, that was always the um part of the goal. Yes, Lou. That's okay. I apologize. You were talking. I'm sorry. You you would like to have one or two board commissioners. That would be lovely. [Laughter]
Such passion. Love to have you guys there. Okay. Do we have willing participants? The the main reason for that is because you are the ultimate decision makers for this plan. And so having somebody there along the way who's familiar with the
discussions that happened and um um and the process is is a huge benefit to the plan. and um future adoption. And this this group that we just appointed though is purely advisory. Correct. Yeah. Yep. That's just um it's
just feedback um guidance along the way. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. But it makes sense to have one rural, one city. I guess no one's jumping. It's not a task that I really support,
but I guess I do feel that rural representation is needed and I know Commissioner Eling has extremely busy. Um, so I I would I would make myself self available and I can fill in if needed too. Okay. Mr. Vley, would you
like to do it? Unless you would like to do it. I would be willing to do it, too. Great. That'd be fabulous. All right. And Dwayne also has off, right? Dwayne also has perks. Um, there you go. Check that box. So, do we have a motion to put uh Commissioner Vagley and Commissioner
Ward? Moved. I'll second. Okay. Motion made by Commissioner Olsen, second by Commissioner Meyer to appoint Commissioner Begley and Commissioner Ward to the Comp plan steering committee. Any further discussion? All those in favor say I. Posay. Approved.
All right. Um, then we'll have Again, thank thank all though that all those that applied. And if for some reason we lose some after we determine the meeting time, then we can maybe uh
readress some of the those other applicants possibly. And are the meetings open to the public? The steering committee. And are they going to be recorded? Yeah. Yeah, they would be like any other committee. Um there'll be notification. Okay. To come and listen in. They could and I'm sure um um most I I mean I can always keep those
people engaged. There's lots of other ways to interact with the plan. So, I've got their contact information and um can reach out to them um as well beside the um Thank you. the steering committee. Okay. All right. Thank you, Lou. Uh moving into
7.2, approve recommendation to appoint planning and environmental services director. Good evening. Good evening. Todd Sadler, director of human resources. I'm here to recommend uh Ross Dunmore as the environmental services planning director
position. Uh he's been with the county for couple years. Yeah. A few years, right? Oh, but very experienced and wealth of knowledge. So recommendation is to hire him for the director position. Sure vaguely. And
commission, could you describe the process of evaluation of Rob? So the process of those that don't know him. Oh, absolutely. So you mean is his experience or Yeah.
So he um late actually Winona State University uh graduate in geology. Uh then he came to work for the county uh environmental services became environmental services supervisor. Recently he's been the interim director.
Um and um I said over 35 years of experience started in 1998 with the county. So we had a couple other I came late to the to the game as far as the hiring process, but I did interview uh
Ross at the the last interview. So Mr. I'll move to gladly move to approve to recommend Ross to be the planning environmental services director. Second. Excuse me. We have a motion by Commissioner Vagley, seconded by
Commissioner Meyer to approve the recommendation to appoint planning and environmental services director to Ross Donsmore. Any further discussion? Um, I also was lucky and I think Commissioner Meyer did to sit in the interviews and just so the public knows it it as all our positions it's
it's posted. uh internal applicants are accepted, external applicants are accepted, and um so Ross rose to the top. And I do do also greatly appreciate being able to promote somebody from within. That's always been a a real goal to have people have pathways to to a
higher position. Um and Ross has done a good job in all these other positions. Now, I hope this isn't u we don't have a trend here of short-term employment with planning directors. We have had in the past. Uh we don't want that. Um but I don't think we will. Uh it's his our
some of our history. Um but I think uh Ross is very knowledgeable about so many areas. He's always been very prompt and answering my questions and giving me information and everything. I know he will continue to do that. And he did in his interview indicate that he would go
and meet with townships on on at their meetings. I think that's very critical um being that we do the planning and zoning for the townships that he makes those connections and such. So that was a very strong thing in his interview process. Commissioner, I already received a separate phone call on that
issue today. Who's the new guy? Is he going to be any good? Not a new old guy, right? I honestly did. Yeah. Yes. Yes. People have been asking. Yes. Um who who is the planning director? So this is great. Uh we have a motion and a second. All those in favor
say I. All right. Okay. Approve. Thank you, Ross. You can change your hat again or your name tag. So, we're not going to ask him to do five jobs now. We're just We're going to have to back fill. We'll be working on filling. Yes. Okay. All
right. Uh 7.3 discuss approve health human service advisory committee structure on page 170. And Maybe um Miss Holdley, you did a lot of
the leg work on this and K. So, we're going what we're basically going to do is still have a health and human service advisory committee, but then break them into kind of like subgroups and and alternate um months of what the emphasis
is. The focus will be public health or human services every other month, right? And then quarterly will be the whole team. So the focus discussion will go to the the larger discussion. So with that said, do we need to open up for um any
new applicants? We have enough people that have expressed interest in both areas. Yes. With the current membership. Okay. I think most people are going to come to both meetings. Okay. And that's that's a large number of them did volunteer to do that. Okay. And that's that's great. Um, will each committee
have their own uh like chair to determine? We're keeping the same one for the the overall committee is going to serve on the monthly ones as well. Okay. All right. Right. And this is a I'd have to say it's a trial run to see if it works
for us and give it some time. Okay. Great. All right. Any further discussion? We need a motion. Yeah. Yes, please. I'll move to approve the new advisory committee structure for health and human services. I'll second. Okay. We have a motion by Commissioner Vagely,
second by Commissioner Meyer to approve the um basically a kind of a reorganization of the Health and Human Service Advisory Committee structure. Any further discussion? All those in favor say I. Oppos? Nay. Okay. Approve. All right. Uh brings us to committee
reports, communications. Uh, Commissioner Vaguely, I already talked about the Good View City Council meeting before, so I won't repeat that. I really enjoyed the meeting last week. Um, secondly, I just want to thank um everybody who has served um and is currently serving um yesterday with Memorial Day. So, thank you for all of
our veterans, past and present. That's it. Right. Anything else? No. Okay. Commissioner Elen. Yeah, I was going to say the same thing just uh No, that's okay. Hey, just reiterating what Commissioner Vag said about Memorial Day and just wanted to thank everybody for
their service. The other thing too I wanted to bring up just uh with a is that you know so far we've had a pretty good um planning season and a safe harvest. I haven't heard any major incidents. That's always good to hear to get through the planning season without any people hitting planters going up and
down the road and stuff like that. So the community awareness and things like that and it's gone well. Um, on that same note, just want to remind everybody the county fair is coming up. So, make sure you do not plan your vacations that week and plan on I'm a big fair supporter. So, always have been since my
4 days. So, make sure you block that week off and uh encourage all your family and friends. You know, we're so blessed to have such a big county fair and and it'd be it'd be awesome to see that continue to grow. So, um that's all I have. Okay. Uh just from my own
perspective, yes, again, thank you to all the veterans and the and the programs that were across the nation. Um there were some outstanding um services and and commitments to people to serve. Uh another thing uh a week from yesterday, Monday, June 2nd, is the
regional uh AMC meeting. It's in Wabasha this year. Uh I don't know that we've heard if there's a special session or anything yet. I don't think they've determined any final. We keep getting emails and updates and uh from both from AMC and Micah. Yeah. Micah says not this
week. Yeah. It it sounds like Yeah. And I don't know if they're going to try and do things in a one day. It's it's public has asked. It's unusual. County boards and city councils are open public meetings. We do everything in the open in the public. The state legislature
gets to meet behind closed doors and haggle out things. and that determines all our lives and our outcomes and our budgets and everything, but it's just they're allowed to do that. I'm not sure whoever set that up, but maybe it should be re reviewed and and analyzed. Um
because they'll come out with closed door negotiations and yeah, nobody knows how or why that all happened. Um but it is the realm we work in. So um hopefully maybe maybe by June 2nd we'll have some resolution. I know AMC will present all
their information. They've been providing a lot of different things and I know personally I have been forwarding a lot of that stuff to our local representation so they have some idea the impacts and what it's going to happen and do to us and stuff. So all right with that any other business to
come before the Mona County Board? Motion to adjurnn. I'll second that. Motion by Commissioner Elling, second by Commissioner Vley to adjurnn. Any discussion? All those in favor say I. Oppos? Nay. We are journ. Thank you. Half hour. Yeah.
