Wyndam Gary, Town of Green Lake spoke against the project, 2 courtrooms ridiculous.
Richard Miller Town of Green Lake spoke against the project, without more comparisons.
Jane Piernot Town of Brooklyn spoke against 2 courtrooms and wants phase 1, 2 & 3 at the
downtown site.
Joe Parise, Mayor City of Green Lake wants the board to look into grants from Homeland
Security, against moving to County A site before knowing what is going to be done with the
current building.
Phil Anastasi Town of Marquette consider if it will be economical to move out to County A
property.
Sheriff Mark Podoll, cost to taxpayers will be over $650,000 per year for added employees, if
Jail is kept downtown. This will come off our tax bills. If we go out to County A, sales tax
will take care of the cost.
DISCUSSION OF LONG RANGE PLAN
13.
The County Board Supervisors asked questions to the presenters and each other on which
direction they should go. Supervisor Galatowitsch reviewed the time line that the board has
gone through and each architect they have interviewed and have brought proposals to the
board. We have hired specialists and we should listen to them. Building downtown would cost
the taxpayers more on their property taxes, and building on County A would be covered
entirely by sales tax. Supervisor Ammentorp suggested that PTD come to the March County
Board and present their proposal. All this can be done using the ½ percent sales tax. This
would give us a comparison quote. Supervisor Thom stated that Goldridge Construction, a
private company, came to the Judicial/Law Enforcement Committee and proposed that they
build what the County desires and then do a lease or buy back option with the County.
Supervisor Thom would like the Property & Insurance Committee to invite Goldridge
Construction to present their proposal to them.

Day. County Board Supervisors will be eating lunch with the students that day.
APPEARANCES
4. Phil Twohig, PTD presented a prepared statement to the Board. He believes his company can meet all
of Green Lake County’s Space needs at a fraction of the cost. Although the cost per square foot would
be the same as that of current hired architect firm, PTD would cut 29,000 sq. ft. from the project in
order to realize the savings. After his presentation, Mr. Twohig then answered questions from the
board members.
5. Richard Mueller, Town of Green Lake - build downtown in the $20,000,000 range, this is what the
people want. Give PTD a chance to present a comparable to the other architects.
6. Jim Kreston, Electrical Engineer, Town of Brooklyn – to be environmentally conscious you need to
include in the cost, what is going to be done with the current building.
7. Andrew Willliams, Wautosa, WI
spoke against the Rezoning of the Holl property in Town of
Manchester. It goes against the Town of Manchester comprehensive plan.
8. Craig Jones, Cambria, WI spoke against the Rezoning of the Holl property in Town of Manchester.
9. Paul Gustfson, Town of Green Lake, County Supervisor from 1994-2000. Health & Human Services and
the Justice Department are interrelated and both need to be addressed at the same time.
10. Maureen Martin, Town of Princeton stated that she never called any supervisor or department head
liars regarding extravagant space needs, as Supervisor Galatowitsch stated at the last County Board
meeting.
11. Bart Williams, West Bend, WI spoke against the Rezoning of the Holl property in Town of Manchester.
12. Phil Anastasi, Town of Marquette wants to know if farming out prisoners is less expensive than building
a new jail, as Art Hartwig stated. If so, a smaller size jail could be put downtown.
13. Sheriff Podoll, stated that even if they build downtown, with PTD plan, it would still be necessary to
add more employees. We could not get along with the same number of employees that we have now.
Mr. Twohig stated .that we could operate his jail with our same staff. In the Vilas County Jail they
have a staff of four employee while we only have a staff of two, which would double our employee
costs.
24 of 153
14. Corporation Counsel, John Selsing, explained the problems with the Goldridge Construction proposal.
That company proposed a lease to own option for a new building to the Property & Insurance
Committee. There are several hurdles prohibiting the county from entering into such an agreement.
The lease could infringe on the tax levy. The move would border on violating laws governing required
bidding processes on projects over $25,000. There are difficulties associated with putting someone
else’s building on county land. They must ensure the project complies with laws regarding prevailing
wage. The potential problems outweigh the benefits.
15. Motion/second (Mueller/Ammentorp) to invite Phil Twohig, PTD to the next Property & Insurance
Committee meeting, to have him give us a cost for him to be able to draft a design for the county and
bring the cost back to County Board. Roll Call vote – 12 Ayes, 7 Nays (Guden, Helmer, Hollander
Krause, Myers, Stoddard and Thom), 2 Absent (Galatowitsch/Brennan). Motion passed.
CORRESPONDENCE
16. Letter from State of Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs. The application for a County Veteran
Service Grant for 2007 has been approved in the amount of $8, 500.00.
17. Letter from WCA Group Health Trust regarding approval of payment of $12,000 toward Green Lake
County’s request to continue to fund wellness initiatives during 2007. Future requests for wellness
funding from the GHT will be considered on an ongoing basis as the Trust’s budget allows.
18. Letter from Wisconsin County Mutual expressing their appreciation for our continued commitment to
and ownership of the County Mutual for Liability Insurance for the past 19 years.
19. Chairman Helmer stated that he is more than pleased with what WCA Group Health Trust has done for
the County and this is the 3rd grant that we have gotten from them. Also that the County Mutual
Liability Insurance has saved Green Lake County many dollars in premiums costs through out the
years.

DISCUSSION ON LONG RANGE PLAN
53. Vice-Chairman Brennan stated that there has not been a lot of give and take between board members
on this issue. We need to come to some sort of agreement. Public comments are negative to any
plans we come up with. We need to look at the 3rd floor, if an elevator can be put in that section, if we
can remodel to make space needs acceptable, secure the hallways. I still think that County A is the
best place to build, but that’s only my opinion. This has dragged on for many years and its been too
long. Either we do something, or forget the whole thing. Supervisor Schubert would like to see a
referendum on this. Supervisor Galatowitsch stated that we have sought the best architect and hired a
construction manager last February. We should listen to our consultants and move forward on this.
He is against a referendum as he feels we are advocating our duties to make a decision. We are
43 of 153
building for a 50-75 year solution, not just a 20 year solution. 34 million comes off the sales tax, not
the tax levy. Supervisor Ammentorp stated that Baird is only out to make money. How can the
Samuels group check for 29,000 feet without any plans drawn up? Supervisor Gorr stated that to get
the comparison price we are asking for, you can’t use just one construction company to compare.
Supervisor Ammentorp asked how we can turn down spending $75,000 on a 34 million dollar project?

8. Kathy Munsey, Lake St. City of Green Lake, spoke in favor of the Resolution in Support of Adoption of

9. Motion/second (Galatowitsch/Myers) The County Board of Supervisors of Green Lake County, Green
Lake, Wisconsin, duly assembled at its regular meeting began on the 15th day of May, 2007 does
hereby move as follows: Whereas, Baird, Green Lake County’s financial consultant, provided a
detailed presentation to the Green Lake County Board (Summary Attached) that clarified the amounts
Green Lake County could bond for facility construction using only the sales tax revenue, and Whereas
the summary of Baird’s financials clearly show that Green Lake County can pay for a project costing
$32,520,100 using only sales tax revenue, while at the same time, retaining a surplus of $2,772,601 at
project completion, and Whereas Green Lake County has more than $900,000.00 in additional funds,
maintenance cash, available for this project, and Whereas, Potter Lawson has proposed and
estimated costs, including contingencies, for a complete Green Lake County Space Needs Solution.
That complete solution includes a 124 bed justice center/jail facility, a complete Health and Human
Services Center, and all Green Lake County Office needs, and Whereas, that complete solution
including a 124 bed justice center/jail facility, a complete Health and Human Services Center, and all
Green Lake County Office needs can be built for $32,520,100. and Whereas, according to the Green
Lake County’s financial consultant, this solution leaves Green Lake County a surplus of $2,772,601 at
project completion. And Whereas according to the Green Lake County Clerk, there would also remain
more than a $900,000 maintenance cash fund at project completion, and Whereas, according to
Potter Lawson and Samuels Group, the project estimates includes a contingency of $1,420,000 to cover
unanticipated expenses, and Whereas, if the project concludes on budget the county would have
$2,772,601 + $900,000 + $1,420,000 = $5,092,601 in surplus monies available without ever using any
money except sales tax revenue. And Whereas, Samuels Group, our Construction Manager, has
verified, that the estimates by Potter Lawson were right on, or if anything, slightly high, and Whereas,
Samuels Group, our Construction Manager, has clearly and without hedge, stated that they believe the
project can be built on time and on budget. In fact that is why Construction Managers are hired. They
are paid to represent our, Green Lake County’s interests over all others. And Whereas, no credible
60 of 153
evidence has been presented that Baird, Potter Lawson, Samuels Group or any Department Employees
of Green Lake County have lied, overstated or otherwise manipulated the data presented to this Board
or it’s Committees. And Whereas, Building downtown would, according to all consultants, forever
leave our county services scattered in multiple locations until we build again. And Whereas, Building
on County A, according to this motion would forever consolidate all county services on one site. And
Whereas, Building Downtown, according to all consultants, we cannot accommodate, on site, our
parking needs and would forever create massive parking pressure on the local streets. And Whereas,
Building on County A, we would forever consolidate our parking needs on site. And Whereas, the new
Sheriff told this Board that building downtown would forever create the need to hire 5 additional
corrections officers at an estimated cost of $300,000 per year in today’s dollars. And Whereas, If we
multiply the added labor costs of a downtown jail times the term of our bond (25 years) we need add
$300,000 x 25 years = $7,500,000 in today’s dollars to the cost of a downtown jail. This cost could
only be paid for out of general taxes and could not be paid for out of sales tax revenue. And Whereas,
after 25 years the county would own outright a County A development. And Whereas, After 25 years
the county would own outright a downtown jail development but would forever have an additional
$7,500,000 in employee expenses each 25 years (in today’s dollars). And Whereas, building a Justice
Center/Jail downtown would forever scare the downtown site with concrete construction so heavy that
future development in anything but an expanded Jail/Justice Center would be prohibitive. And
Whereas, Building on County A would leave the downtown site in a state that could easily be
renovated into anything. And Whereas, It is not wise to build Jails in what is essentially a retail and
residential area downtown. And Whereas, Prisoners would continue to be released in ever greater
numbers downtown, in this retail/residential area, if we expand our jail downtown. And Whereas,
Huber prisoners, on a daily basis, would continue to be released in ever greater numbers downtown, in
this retail/residential area, if we expand our jail downtown. And Whereas, we have a duty to be good
corporate citizens to the City of Green Lake. Now Therefore Be It Moved that the Green Lake
County Board of Supervisors approves authorizing P&I to hire Potter Lawson and Samuels Group to
build a County A Phase 1,2 &3 facility out on County A. This complete solution will include a 124 bed
justice center/fail facility, a complete Health & Human Services Center and all Green Lake County Office
needs. P&I Committee would further be required and authorized to evaluate and make decisions,
without further county board approval, as to incorporating any reductions in project scope as presented
to this board by Potter Lawson and Samuels Group during our February meeting. Be It Further
Moved, that the County Board of Supervisors authorizes P&I to spend the contingence of 5% as the
needs arise without further board approval. Be It Further moved, P&I would immediately form a
committee with the City of Green Lake and prepare a request for proposals as to passing the
Downtown facility to private or city hands. Discussion held. Motion/second (Ammentorp/Schroeder) to
table to June County Board meeting. Roll Call on motion to table – 16 Ayes, 3 Nays (Galatowitsch,
Myers, Stoddard), 2 Absent (Biesenthal, Hollander). Motion passed.

Motion/second (McConnell/Schroeder)
to approve an additional County Board of Supervisors
meeting for the month of June 2007. The meeting would be focused on discussion about long range
plans for County Offices, Jail and Judicial system. The meeting would be informal in format to
encourage open sharing of ideas and concerns. The goal of the meeting would be to identify actual
space needs, budget limitations, cost of staffing required to operate a jail, state and federal
requirements in regard to any altering of the present courthouse, parking, cost of moving, and the
inclusion of Health & Human Services operations into any approved plan. The meeting would be
moderated by Jeff Hoffman of our UW-Extension staff, as he is familiar with these issues, and has
much experience in working with conflict management, and mediation issues. All County Board
Supervisors would be encouraged to attend and would be paid perdiem. Public input would be limited

CALL TO ORDER
ROLL CALL
READING OF THE CALL
MOTION TO DISSOLVE AS A COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND ARISE AS A
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE FOR THE PURPOSE OF: Focusing on discussion about long
range plans for County Offices, Jail and Judicial system. The meeting would be informal in
format to encourage open sharing of ideas and concerns. The goal of the meeting would be
to identify actual space needs, budget limitations, cost of staffing required to operate a jail,
state and federal requirements in regard to any altering of the present courthouse, parking,
cost of moving, and the inclusion of Health & Human Services operations into any approved
plan. The meeting would be moderated by Jeff Hoffman of our UW-Extension staff, as he is
familiar with these issues, and has much experience in working with conflict management,
and mediation issues. Public input would be limited to observation of the meeting.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
3. Jeff Hoffman, stated that his goal is to help the County Board make a decision. What the decision is, is
not his concern. He talked on Perceptions and Co-Operation. Guidelines he used were 1) Participate
to add to discussion 2) Listen to understand 3) Respect their ideas 4) Practice orderly discussion.
Goals – To build capacity in the County Board. Supervisors transfer their skills and experience to learn
how to move forward
What got us here? The process has not worked. We are in this together.
The County Board needs to make a decision. With cooperation, both sides get what they want. Jeff
explained the difference between relevant facts and opinions. Development of small groups were
discussed. Get people who know what they are talking about in your group. Divergent ideas, firm but
flexable, what is the best project and how to do it. Need to take little steps to make big decisions
easier. We need to do something. What is one thing we can agree upon? Cost between 20 million
and 24 million using sales tax money to build Justice Center and Health & Human Services.
Comparison of what kind of building we would get for 24 million if we built the same size building on
73 of 153
County A as we would build downtown. Double check space needs studies that have been done before
as a group and review them together to see where cuts in space could be made, or if the study is
correct. Have governing committees review plans for the departments they govern.

concerning the State Budget and handed out a summary of the Wisconsin Health Plan which

7. Art Hartwig, Town of Princeton The options given by the location committee should be
withdrawn as there is no way to build any of them for $24 million cap. 148,000 square feet =
$32,500 in construction costs.
8. Joe Kallas, Town of Princeton Entire process was done backwards. First ½ cent sales tax
was passed without a plan, then land was purchased without a plan. Sales tax money will not
cover this as the economy is in such bad shape. Added property tax is difficult for the elderly
population in the county. There was no referendum and the board ignored the petition signed
by 2000 people against the project.
9. Tom Gneuech, Town of Brooklyn October 2006 the board voted not to continue with the
County A site. October 2007 the board wants to build all new at County A site. The 3 phase
project will not support the $24 million cap, it would cost $32-$34 million. Only option of
adding downtown and Health & Human Services at present site will you stay under $24 million
cap. Population trends are flat up to 2030, averaging 20,000 population.
10. Richard Miller Town of Green Lake The board as been dealing with this for 10 years. Do
they really want to do something? We need a Health & Human Service building along with a
Justice Center. The $24 million cap will only fit downtown. Ignored 2,000 signatures on
petition. The vote was 11/10 in favor of staying downtown. What was the reason supervisors
gave for voting the way they did? I sat in on location committee meetings; felt it was a waste
of time. Size of project has increased since 2004 to the size of a football field. We need to
live within our means.
11. Tom Bell, City Green Lake
Resident in county for only 1½ years. Least democratic
community he has ever lived in. There is no defense for a new facility. Where is the
responsibility to the community?
LONG RANGE PLAN
Jeff Hoffman, Results of Building Location Meetings.
12. Jeff Hoffman, CRD Educator – UW Extension was asked to facilitate a process that assists the
County Board in determining how best to address future County Building needs. Jeff
explained the process and reported how the committee ranked and scored the criteria they
determined is necessary for efficient county operations in the future. When asked where to
build a Justice Center the committee scored 290 for County A site and 207 for Downtown site.
When asked where to build the Health & Human Services building, the committee scored 297
for County A site, 291 for Highway location, 256 for Current HHS location and 157 for
Downtown location. All options must comply with the County Board resolution to complete the
building projects with a budget of $24 million dollars. These are the top three options from
the committee:
•
Build all County Facilities new on the County A property to include a 100 bed jail.
117 of 153
•
Remodel the current downtown location to accommodate a 100 bed jail, and all
Government Center services, and build a new Health & Human Services building
on the current location of the Health and Human Services building.
•
Build a new Justice Center, to include a 100 bed jail and Health & Human
Services building on the County A location, and to remodel the downtown
location to accommodate the Government Services Departments.
Of these three building options, there was not a unanimous choice for any one of them.
Jeff left the board with this thought: Be hard on the Problem, Easy on the People.
Jeff thanked the committee members for all their hard work and effort they put into this
process.

Chairman Helmer thanked Jeff for the fine job he did with the Building Location
Committee.

to think of different avenues. People need to learn to give and not be so stubborn on an
issue.
countywide space needs solution. Tabled on 9/18/07 until the October 16th County
Board meeting.
15. Supervisor Galatowitsch feels that his motion represents the best long term solution for the
county. Supervisor Ammentorp questioned how we can vote on this motion when a cap was
already set at $24 million. John Selsing, Corporation Counsel stated that a motion from the
floor is not binding without a resolution to back it up. The $24 million cap was only a motion.
Motion/second (Galatowitsch/Myers) to change his motion to a resolution. John Selsing,
Corporation Counsel stated that this would be illegal, as it was not on the agenda as a
resolution. Motion/second (Galatowitsch/Myers) to amend the motion “NOW THEREFOR BE IT
MOVED
from a 124 bed to a 100 bed jail and adding to the last sentence “subsequent
meetings and reduce the cost to complete the project to between $24-$29 million.” Also delete
“BE IT FURTHER MOVED, that the County Board of Supervisors authorizes P&I to spend the
contingence of 5% as the needs arise without further board approval.” Roll Call on motion to
