Go, two o'clock, right on the money. Okay, I'm Jay Fiedel, this is Think Tech, and more specifically, this is the Community Matters series. That's because community does matter. Okay, we have Dorei Shin. This is her second time on Think Tech. Congratulations and welcome, Dorei. Thank you, it's been great. And we wanna talk to you about millennials today because we need to have a window, as we always do, on what the millennials are thinking because they're going to save us. We need them to save us and that includes you, Dorei. It's a lot of pressure. So we're gonna talk about the politics of the millennials. So my first question is, who do millennials have politics? Are they into politics, or are they turning their back on that? What's your view of it? I think that we're born into, in America, we're born into a government that fundamentally hasn't worked since we've been born. And I think maybe past generations have experienced a better functioning government that took care of the people. But because of the corporate wealth gap and just income inequality and all the basic needs that aren't being met, like since we were born, I think that a lot of millennials and young people are feeling really disenfranchised and just disheartened. And they're not empowered. They don't know what's going on in politics and they would care to just forget about it because they feel really frustrated. So I think there's a lot of that going on in the hearts of millennials. But I think there's also with that an opportunity to excite them and engage them in politics again if we do it the right way. Yeah, serious. Okay, let me drill down a little bit on that. Are they voting? I think that right now we're going in polarities. And I think that there's a group of millennials that are really engaged and excited and they're voting and they know that their vote matters and their voice matters. And I think there's a whole another section just as large that are not voting.  And there's definitely some overlap between the two. And I think that there's really a, I think that to me shows that there's such a huge opportunity for us to say like, how do we get these voters to care again and realize that just those numbers alone could shift our entire government system. Just if those people realize that they do matter and that we do have the power to outnumber and outpower kind of the rich and powerful in our country today. You know, I asked a young woman in China one time whether she voted and she said she didn't vote. She was smart. She didn't vote because she could only vote for the lowest level of official and the way it's a tiered pyramid. And then the lowest level of official votes for the next level, the next level, next level. She had no say in the selection of the premier. And she felt that her vote was really not important. And so it wasn't worth her time to do it because the system had a life of its own and she wasn't part of that life. How do millennials feel about that? They feel that this is the sort of corporate emergence so the corporate restructuring or the corporate dominance, if you will, in the marketplace of ideas is so strong that they'll never have a say. And that, you know, give it up, there's no point. Just go with the flow. You find that. I think, yeah, and I think a lot of millennials are just comfortable enough to not engage at all. And, you know, my dad always told me that there needs to be a certain threshold of suffering as unfortunate as it may be, whether it's unemployment or an inability to pay rent, something that's really tangible and visceral for people before they start to realize that they need to get out on the streets and do something radical. So, yeah, I think that millennials are just comfortable enough. We're not at the point with climate change or economic inequality that there's a critical mass of suffering. And I wish that people would engage before we hit that critical mass, but I think sometimes we do have to wait for enough people to be suffering, to really care and start to collectively unite around one message and a vision for the future. But, you know, the word is that this generation, your generation is not gonna do as well on the whole as a generation of your parents. That, you know, this is sort of a diminution in wealth and influence and so forth. Do you believe that? Do the millennials believe that they are not going to be as franchised, as powerful, as prosperous, as wealthy as the generation of their parents? I don't think that we know those statistics and facts really well, but I do think that there's a sense that there's an increasing grip of power by mega corporations and industries. And I think that as that feeling and reality continues to grow, that there will be greater frustration. And I think that's kind of what sparked Occupy Wall Street, which was almost our revolution. And I think that we're ready for another one that's going to have outcomes. And so I think a lot of young people that I talk to, they don't think that business as usual, they don't think voting every two years, every four years, is enough to make the changes that they feel will actually help them in the ways that they need to feel cared for. So I think a lot of them are waiting for some kind of revolution, some kind of new leadership that's gonna energize them to get out and vote, get on the streets, you know, build community and start asking for really big changes. I think we're kind of on the precipice of something, I think we're still in a, I'm comfortable, I'm just gonna watch Netflix and be on my phone most of the time. So I'm optimistic that we're getting somewhere, but I do feel we're not quite there yet. And as your father says, and I totally agree with him, that a little suffering would help to, as a catalyst, make people awaken to these issues. And that's not only the millennials that's everybody. Yeah, totally. But the problem is that when that happens, when you get uncomfortable and things go bad, it may be too late. It may be too late if you're hungry, for example, you're susceptible, you're vulnerable, and maybe you'll get confused about what you really want. I mean, this is not out of Les Mis, you know, where you have barricades in the street. I like that. But how do you see the millennials expressing themselves? I heard what you were saying, perhaps protest, perhaps occupy Wall Street, perhaps. Is that the way? Because, you know, that traditionally has been, you know, difficult, and maybe even violent. There's a downside to that. How do you turn things around? You said waiting for a leader. What kind of leader? And what do you think that leader would do to give you this opportunity to change things? I think that we need, I think just like we need a critical mass of suffering, we need a critical mass of good leaders. So, you know, we have a few really key politicians that are, you know, looking out for the American people, but it's not enough to outweigh the influence that industries and companies have right now in American politics. So I think that we need more than AOC and Bernie Sanders. You know, we need 10, 20, 30% of our leadership to be standing up for people and not compromising on our values. And then that will lead to the critical policy changes and government, and maybe campaign finance reform. Specific changes in the way our government is run and financed that will then allow all the other changes to happen. And one of those things is of course getting money out of politics. And that would be a really basic level of returning Citizens United. So something like that. Like those key renew deal, those key things could be enough to shift, you know, the 10 major issues we're facing today. Oh, I'm glad. And I want to dwell with you on that. Let's pick one that you mentioned, getting money out of politics. I sure agree that money is corrupting politics, has been corrupting politics for your lifetime and maybe longer. Right. And a lot of that these days has to do with, you know, Citizens United, right? Citizens United was a case in the Supreme Court. There is no indication whatsoever that Supreme Court is going to overturn that now or in the lifetimes of, you know, the majority of the court.  We're going to see Republicans who are not inclined to turn over Citizens United. So assuming Citizens United last, how can you change that?  Could there be a plan? And if so, what kind of plan? What would it look like? You know, for July 4th, I read the Declaration of Independence. Did you really? Yeah, I was just like, let me just read this. And I've never done it before. I'm 27 years old. And in it, it says, if a government, something, you know, I'm summarizing, if a government fails to meet the needs, the basic needs of its people and the basic desires of its people, and it strays from that in any way, then the people within the Declaration of Independence it states, the people must overturn it and change it on a fundamental level. And I don't know if, I don't think I'm the expert to say we're quite there yet, but I think we're pretty close. I think that what the people want is consistently at odds with what our politicians do. And it's, and so one example I share from a local level is the Styrofoam ban in Hawaii. It's one of the most popular issues to most of the public. It's a no-brainer. So we had 670 testimony in support and that's pretty unheard of in terms of number of testimony. And we had about two or three testimony in opposition and they were all from paid industry lobbyists like the American Chemistry Council or the foam manufacturers. And it died, the bill died. So that's one example where it's like, clearly the people are saying one thing and the government is meant to represent the people. That's why we vote people in is to represent us as a representative democracy. But as we see that continues to fail to happen at the very local level, all the way to the federal level, I think that it is an indication to the people that our government is failing us and is in fact not abiding by our founding documents. And if that's the case, what do we do? I don't know the answer. I think it's some kind of revolution. It's more than some things. I'm a lawyer so I'm always gonna start out with what's the legal, existing legal structure is. I'm not sure you're in the same place. No, definitely not.  Maybe there's a place for that. But let's take the foam ban, okay? It's a travesty, what happened? Totally. So what do you do? I mean, there are some legislators who voted against or some committee chairs who acted against passing the foam ban. It's very important, climate change and environment is really important because they're coming for us and talk about discomfort, they're gonna be a source of great discomfort for us. Climate change and environment. So if you wanted to fashion a plan on this, you would say this guy, Joe Schmo, he voted against the foam ban. We are not forgetting that. Oh, what are they? And we have the power of social media, we have the power of our constituency, which is a collaborative constituency. They know each other, they like each other, they believe each other and they share your view that government is not working on a fundamental level. What do they do tomorrow to make sure that the foam ban incident never happens again? And I think this is where we come back to the leadership and it's kind of consistently a handful of the most powerful people, whether it's Hawaii government or whether it's federal. There are certain people that have significantly more power than everyone else. So within a House of Representatives or a Congress, you're not gonna have the same level of power for each person in there. So I think those people who have a lot of power tend to have the most influenced by companies and big money and then their values become tainted and they're not able to listen clearly to the will of the people, which is not their fault. I'm not blaming them. I understand it's challenging to balance it all out but it's not why we voted people in. And so I think that that's why I want millennials to vote because locally, we've had a lot of elections even in this last cycle where the progressive candidate lost by 20 votes. So to say that voting doesn't matter. Sometimes it's true in the Electoral College and the Presidential election, it's kind of true. But in local elections, it really does matter. Just a handful of people. There's a lot of elections here locally where it's just a few dozen votes off. And so I think we need to identify those people who are often getting in the way of progress and say, you know, we're going to vote you out and enough is enough. And I think a lot of the work I've done is with nonprofits and we're not legally allowed to call out or endorse politicians. So it needs to be from a grassroots place. It needs to not come from a nonprofit affiliation. And so I think that's where the challenge lies is a lot of the people like myself that are really intricately involved in this who know who are the ones who are getting in the way of progress. We're not actually legally allowed to use our community and our influence to then inform the community and voters about. Well, we'll help you. Yeah, so we just need people who aren't affiliated with a nonprofit to be that voice. It could be students. It could be people without that nonprofit status. So that's something to be aware of. Well, that goes to the whole question of journalism and the media. Yeah, exactly. And you do have the tools that can help you. Right. And I have this image of all the people on the Democratic bandstand in the debates a week or two ago. And then I can't see any of them actually, I'm sorry, fitting into your model here. So let me name some things. Okay. One is you have to find leaders who you believe in. They can be young, but they have to be educated. Totally, yeah. They can be educated, but they have to be articulate like you. And they have to have values, you know? And maybe they get on the platform there with the other guys and they shine and maybe they get elected. But then, you know, the millennials have to vote together. They have to vote together and they have to have this kind of understanding together across the whole country, really, that they're gonna follow certain principles and vote for certain people. How do you, how do you have that happen? How do you have the education and the articulate power and the, of course, the policy issues? How do you bring a group together? I think you ultimately, as you said, you need a leader. Where's the leader gonna come from? How can we have a leader who's 27 years old, right, who will be followed by, say, 100 million people? How do you do that? Well, I think that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a perfect example. And in her recent documentary, Knock Down the House, which is on Netflix, I just watched, it was really inspiring. It showed that she, there was a group, I think they were just an organization that trains and recruits candidates. So it wasn't that AOC came out and said, I'm running for office and she won. It was that she was nominated, recruited, and she said yes. And then she was heavily trained and supported by a group of experts who deeply understand how to win elections. And so I think it needs to be that strategic. You know, the civil rights movement, the women's rights movements, these movements didn't succeed because of Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King. They succeeded because they were highly organized, highly strategic, and unified across the nation. And so it's going to take a lot of effort, but I think that the expertise is out there and the drive is out there. It's just gonna take a level of strategy and unification. And that's leadership, too. Yeah, exactly. To create that strategy. So there's people who will become the leaders and then there's organizations that will cultivate the leaders. And so there has to be a good kind of recipe for all of that to happen together. Yeah, I'm behind on this. I have to take a minute to write my notes down so I can make a note of all the good things you're coming up with. We can take a one minute break, okay, Dorei? Sounds good. We'll come back and we'll continue. I have lots more questions. Awesome. All right.  Aloha, I'm Deila Nyonegira, a host here at Think Tech, Hawaii, a digital media company serving the people of Hawaii. We provide a video platform for citizen journalists to raise public awareness in Hawaii. We are a Hawaii nonprofit that depends on the generosity of its supporters to keep on going. We'd be grateful if you'd go to thinktechhawaii.com and make a donation to support us now. Thank you so much. Aloha, I'm Stan Osserman, a host here on Think Tech, Hawaii, a digital media company serving the people of Hawaii. We provide a video platform for citizen journalists to raise public awareness here on the island. We are a Hawaii nonprofit that depends on the generosity of its supporters to keep on going. We'd be grateful if you'd go to thinktechhawaii.com and make a donation to support us now. Mahalo. Okay, I made my notes. I'm straightened out a little bit now. I'm gonna try to follow Dorei. Dorei Shen, our guest today, talking about millennials and politics. So, you know, we're skirting around the issue. Let's get to the center of things. What do you think about Trump? Trump has, I think Trump has psychological problems and I don't think that's debatable. I think it's clear that if you look at a list of symptoms, he could clearly be diagnosed with being a pathological liar and a narcissist. And to me, that indicates where American people are at that not only do they maybe really support and love somebody like this, but that even if they think maybe he's not the best person in the world, that they're still willing to vote for him because he's something different. And so it's been a fascinating social experiment. I think it's been terrible for a lot of reasons in which a lot of the decisions he's made has caused a lot of suffering to a lot of people and nature. But I do think that this is part of the cycle of what happens when a country has become oppressed and uneducated. So I'm excited to see what happens in 2020. Well, I'm excited, but I'm also scared. Yeah.  Is everybody looking for a candidate who can beat him? I mean, people like Harris because maybe she can beat him. They like Elizabeth Warren, maybe she can beat him. And Biden, I'm not so sure he can beat him. But that's the test everybody applies. He's like, I don't care about your policy. I want to know if you can beat Trump because we got to get him out of there. How do you feel about that? I think that's a big problem. I know I think that if we only focus on beating Trump, then we ignore all of the issues that matter to people who are going to vote. And I think the more you ignore the issues that matter to people who will vote or not vote, that is going to affect turnout. And then you see that when it was Clinton versus Trump. And everyone thought Clinton was just going to win. And the turnout was so bad that she lost. And now we have Donald Trump as our president. And so I think that the Democratic establishment has really failed its people by saying, we're going to continue to prioritize the establishment candidate who's going to keep things essentially the same, but be really good at talking and saying the right talking points to try to relate. But it's so inauthentic and scripted that people my age and my group of friends, they're turned off. They don't relate to the candidates. They can tell it's inauthentic and scripted. They know it's an establishment candidate, someone who's been in politics far too long to be values driven, or somebody who's changed on so many issues that they're not trustworthy anymore. And so I think that if we want to win and we want to really make the changes that we need to make, it's not just about winning. It's about making the changes we need to make. We need to pick somebody who's going to speak to people in an authentic and genuine way. And that's how I think the Democratic establishment has failed. And I think that's why Trump won, because he, as much as so many of us might disagree with him, he is himself. And that spoke for a lot of people. Oh, God. Hard. That was true. So remember Mr. Potato Man? Yeah.  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And put the mouth and the eyes on him. So if I gave you a Mr. Potato Man, and I asked you to design a candidate who could deal with him, who would be appealing, and who would be a good president, tell me all the characteristics of Mr. Potato Man or Miss Potato Man, as it may be, who could do that, who you would want to see up there on the stage in the final analysis. I think it's somebody who is consistent over time. They have had values since the beginning, and they largely haven't changed on them. That's really attractive, I think. And somebody who is compassionate and leads with their heart and is not going to be influenced by money and hopefully doesn't take any or a lot of money from industry. And somebody who continuously stands up for people and the environment and values rather than trying to maintain the status quo. Because the status quo is what got us into all of the crises we find ourselves in today. So I think it needs to be all those things. And somebody who's energetic and can energize the crowd, like few droves of people will come out to rallies for them, because that means those people will come out to vote. And it's going to be a lot of new voters as well. Yeah, we need that for sure. But you want to change a lot of things. One of the things that we all would like to see is a functional Congress. Because Congress right now is dysfunctional. They can't pass anything.  And we're paying all this money to have Congress. And it's like they're all in breach, I shouldn't say all, but the Republicans anyway, are in breach of their oath of office. What kind of Congress would you like to see? What is your Mr. Potato Man on Congress? And Mitch McConnell. I think that the people right now in Congress, I think what's going on culturally in politics is that everything's about what party you're in. And so there's all this loyalty which just turns into duality. So it's like if AOC says one thing, every Republican must be against it. And there's no critical thinking involved. And I think that's such a disservice to our democracy, because there's so many things that we're going to disagree on, no matter what. But in the same vein, there's so many things that we can agree on. And climate change is a perfect example. There's no reason for climate change to be a partisan issue. There's plenty of conservatives, Tea Party people, Republicans who understand that our environment is impacted by human activity and that it's a win-win-win situation to address it and to make positive changes around it. But the fact that it's become partisan and a lot of that has to do with money in politics undermines the ability for any work to get done because it's high school. It's like, oh, we're just going to fight with each other and be committed to disagreeing rather than being civil and saying, let's have a conversation. And I think that starts with me and you and saying, I'm willing to reach out to someone that has an uncomfortable viewpoint. And I'm willing to have civil discussions, whether they're in person at the coffee shop, on Facebook. And I think America really needs to work on this, from the individual level to the governmental level and say, I'm going to talk to people I disagree with and conclude those conversations in what we can agree on and at least do those things. Because otherwise, we're in a completely inefficient system where no one's listening to each other. This requires some real work because not only is the burden to try to get your generation together and focus on these issues, but it's also there are people who would oppose that, people who would create divisiveness. And I firmly believe that there was some attempt at leaking the cable from the British ambassador, so that there would be a fight. And there is a fight, not only is it between the ambassador and Trump, but it's between Britain and the US. What a great maneuver to create divisiveness. The point is that there are people around who would oppose everything you're talking about and try to divide your group, divide your millennials so that they were neutralized and could not do what they had hoped to do. The question is whether the millennials can stick together despite those efforts, whether they're sophisticated enough to realize when they're being worked and manipulated. What do you think? Yeah, I think divide and conquer is a classic strategy of people in power. And I just imagine these people in these ivory towers and they're laughing at all the people below who are fighting with each other and not looking up. And I think that's what we need to do is say, you know, there are times when we need to have those discussions and debates, but there are times when it's a waste of time and we can find things that we unite on, like saving our planet, let's do that first, or getting money out of politics, or getting corporations to not have so much influence in government and elections. So I think there are some foundational things we can all focus on now and focus on all the other divisive issues later because we don't have time for that right now. Now, a lot of people have said the constitution, that we worship the constitution, it's a sacred constitution and all that, and actually it's being broken every day by this administration. And arguably it needs to be fixed, it needs to be fixed perhaps, perhaps on the electrical college. And various other points that have come up that have been stressed that have demonstrated a weakness in light of recent events. So what do you think about that? How would you like to see the constitution change and how would you propose a de-change? I don't know about the constitution itself, but I think that, you know, I think the constitution has amazing intentions. I think there's always room for improvement as the society unfolds and develops. I think the electoral college should be reformed and potentially just abolished and that we should have a more direct democracy. You know, George W. Bush and Donald Trump are the most recent presidents who won without the popular vote.  More people voted for the other person and so how can we have the other person as president? And- I'd like to testimony on the phone ban. Yeah, it's the same thing. So I think that's where the electoral college has failed us and just doesn't work anymore. It's why do we need, why do we need something to get in the way of a direct democracy? I also think we need to make voting really accessible. You know, something like, candidates like Bernie Sanders will say that voting instead of you having to go register yourself to vote, that you just become registered to vote automatically when you turn 18 as a citizen. I think this was tried in other countries and extremely successful in increasing turnout. We're lazy. Millennials, I'll speak for us especially, we're much lazier than previous generations. And we sit on our computers a lot and our phones and we don't move. So if there's a barrier to entry for anything, online shopping, whatever it is, we're not gonna do it. Things need to be put in our face and that's why I think we need to be automatically registered to vote. We need to be able to online vote as long as we can make that safe from being rigged. And so those are some of the basic things we need to do to increase turnout and make it as easy and accessible as possible for everyone to vote. You know, Doree, you're unusual. Not everybody I know is your age and background is as articulate or forceful or thoughtful about these issues and committed to doing something about it. But my question to you is my last question. What are you gonna do about it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but what are you gonna do about it? How do you see yourself participating in activities, events, programs and the like that will actually bring about the changes you'd like to see? Yeah, you know, I've been traditionally involved in one issue at a time, plastic pollution, sustainability, you know, nonprofit work, event planning and I think I'm kind of realizing that we need to do a lot more, you know, than one event at a time, one nonprofit at a time, focusing on one issue at a time. So the answer is I'm not sure, but I am having like a quarter of a life, maybe not crisis, but kind of realization that there needs to- Quarter of life crisis, you got that. That we need to have, you know, more. Like we need to be bolder and more united and louder and we need to become the squeaky wheels of our generation because change is not happening fast enough. You know, I think I've personally been kind of waiting to see what happens and I'm like, I'll participate in something when it occurs. I think a lot of us are doing that, passively hoping somebody else will do it. And I think that a lot of leaders like Greta Thunberg and AOC have inspired me and a lot of other young people to say, you know, maybe we're the ones we've been waiting for and we need to become those leaders. We are the ones we've been waiting for. It's cliche, but I think it's true and we need to step up and do more. But I don't know what that looks like quite yet. Okay, all right, we gotta check back with you. But again, is that this is not, this your view of this is not limited to state of Hawaii. This is a national view and the possibilities for you are national, am I right? Yes, absolutely. Thank you, Dorei. Thank you. Dorei to talk to you. Me too, Dorei. To do it again. Yes, absolutely. Aloha. Aloha.

The appointments are approving unanimously. Thank you. Presentations. We have Aaron Brault and Eric Phil Haber from the Conservation Planning and Conservation Department. We're going to give a project update. Good evening. Good evening. Thank you for having us tonight. Adam Asad, I touch on a couple of things that have gone on in the department over the last couple of years, and a couple of things that have been happening recently. So I'm going to start off, and then I'm going to hand it over to Eric on our staff here to talk about the second project, the Elkhart Lake Phosphorus Reducing Tile Filter. And that's been a baby of Eric's. Eric does a lot of design in our staff, and I know he's very proud of that project, and he's been around 40 years or so. He started when I was two years old, so he's been around a block and has seen that and been there. So I know he's quite proud of that project, so I'm going to hand it off to him then, and then I'll follow up with the last two. So I think my clicker is working here. So in 2011, I know my committee is aware of this, but I don't know if the rest of the county board is. In 2011, we were awarded, along with the Nature Conservancy, a $1.6 million study to look at phosphorus reduction in two paired watersheds, a paired watershed study. So the test watershed was Otter Creek out by Plymouth, and the control watershed was the Fisher's Creek, which is up by Howard's Grove. And the goal was to see what a targeted investment in a test watershed would do in regards to phosphorus and other pollutants entering the waterway. So again, it was a great partnership between the Kohler Trust for Preservation. They were the main funder, the county, TNC, obviously landowners in each watershed, the extension, USGS, NRCS, UW Madison and WNNR. And one thing we like to point out is that in the Otter Creek, the test watershed, we had over 90% landowner participation. So what did we get done? We installed about 1,450 acres of nutrient management plans, or not installed, we completed nutrient management plans on a lot of the acreage in that watershed. We did 56 acres of conservation tillage, 19 acres of cover crops, almost a mile of grass waterways, some buffers totaling about 6.6 acres, and a whole host of other things. The thing I'll talk about most tonight is the second from the bottom bullet, which was a denitrifying bioreactor. And it sounds like a big fancy word, but essentially it's a bark bed. And what that is, is it's a filter. So a lot of our ague fields are tiled in our county, and so it intercepts the water that would run through a tile, treats it before it enters the creek. And that was the first in the state. There's a couple other states around us that have installed them, but we were the first in the state of Wisconsin. So what did all those best management practices ultimately succeed in doing? About 1,200 pounds of phosphorus was reduced in the watershed, and about a pound of phosphorus can support about 500 pounds of algae. So that's about 600,000 pounds of algae that could have been prevented. Again, we installed the state's first bioreactor. And through the extension, we had a lot of cover crop research done on a couple different fields in that watershed. This is what a bioreactor looks like. Again, it's a fancy word for a big pit in the ground that water flows through. And you use hardwood, and you can't use wood that has tannins in it. I don't know the chemistry behind it, but you have to use hardwood in the phosphorus or the nitrates and nitrites bind to that hardwood and then cleaner water goes out. So we reduced nitrates. We had baseline sampling before we installed it, and we saw about a 50% reduction in nitrates flowing into Otter Creek. And nitrates, if you listen to the news, that's what causes the dead zones in water bodies. So in the Green Bay and down in the Gulf of Mexico, that's the chemical that causes the dead zones. So now I'll hand it over to Eric Quick, and he'll talk about what we've been doing out at Elkhart Lake recently. It has been an exciting project because it's got more than just the typical players that two very good farmers involved with us. It started three years ago with the Elkhart Lake Improvement Association concerned about some discharge out of a large tile line that headed directly into Elkhart Lake. I think one of the important things with this project is that Aaron alluded to the bark bit that was very successful for nitrates, but it didn't do anything for treating phosphorus. And we're looking at some of these tile systems because we've got hundreds and hundreds of thousands of agricultural soil tiles in this county that drain directly into our waterways. And the approach we're taking with this filter bit is to try to reduce some of that dissolved phosphorus by running it through a different medium other than bark, because the bark did fine under the nitrates, but it didn't do anything for the phosphorus. This was another attempt to work at that with the Lake Association in order to get the farmers to agree to put the practice on their tile system. One of the things that they pointed out was that, well, there's a lot of homes along that corner of the lake that don't have, that are hooked into the sanitary sewer system. They still have conventional septic systems and they're probably contributing about as much phosphorus as you think our tile line is. And sure enough, we sent it through the engineers and some of the people smarter than us to get approval. That's the first thing they said when they looked at the watershed is, what are you doing about the homes along the lake? If they got conventional systems, they're probably contributing more. So the second phase of this project is going to be work right along the lake and put a very similar system to this agricultural system on an individual septic tank. In other words, you take your effold out of your normal tank and it goes into another tank with this iron slag medium in which is magnetic as far as locking the phosphorus to it. And then it would go back out into the conventional filter field. So this is some of the work we just did the last couple of weeks. You have to put a liner in because we're working probably eight feet down on the ground there. So you've got groundwater issues that you want to keep out. This iron slag came from Gary, Indiana. There wasn't any slag outfits or iron furnaces in Wisconsin that produced the right kind of slag, I guess. Otherwise, I would have gotten it down to Charter Steel if I could have been a lot cheaper than trucking it up from Indiana. But that's just the way it worked out. So this is located right on East of Highway P on County Highway A between A and Shoreland Road. So if you're out there, we can take a look at it. We'll be touring it October 12th with the State Technical Committee. There will be people coming from all over the different counties in the state to take a look at it. There's a lot of interest in Kiwani and Dore counties. We're in Kiwani County, 30% of their wealth has been contaminated through agricultural runoff. And there's a big target on that. So we're hoping that some of these newer, innovative things are something that can get adapted into the future and that other counties will adopt it. And I know on October 16th and 17th, it's the ASTOP Land and Water Association of Wisconsin which is going to be hosting their food land and water conference. So I know some of the breakout numbers may have seen that. I hope you'll attend that. It's going to talk about groundwater, surface water, groundwater quantity, quality, land use. That also was the first project in the state. So people are looking to us as an example. So I'm proud of that. Moving on, the non-motorized. There's two projects remaining. Some of you have heard 2018. We're looking at the Southside Utility Corridor, just if you recall. Back in 2011, before the CATC, if you remember that advisory committee, before they disbanded, they approved a list of projects. And these two projects were on that list, so we're working down that list. It was approved unanimously by the Common Council in 2013 to move forward. And this is the high-tension line. If you recall, back in 2016, I came before you guys and presented. It's the high-tension corridor line between the power plant and going out west to County Highway OK. We have two good corporate partners in Alliant Energy and American Transmission. Alliant is going to give the property over for a buck. And they've been part of the team the entire time. And then in 2021, perhaps 2022, if there's any remaining dollars after the Southside Utility Corridor we're targeting a project on PP, which would leverage a different project going on in 2018 or 2019. And on that one, too, we've had good partnerships with adjacent property owners, primarily being Kohler Company and the Kohler Art Center with their new project along PP. So overall summary to date, about 110 miles have gone in through that program. About 14 miles of sidewalk, 60 miles of bike lanes, about 14 miles of path, 22 miles of shoulders. We've won some awards over the years. We've been nominated by Bicycle Friendly Community twice. At the time, we were only one of eight entire counties in the U.S. with that distinction. Last year, we got an Excellence in Construction Award. And though we didn't apply for the last one this year, the county was awarded a runner-friendly designation and one of the primary reasons why was because of all the work we've done in the past few years. Amsterdam Dunes update. Last time I spoke to you, I can't remember when that was, but I had mentioned that we are going to be submitting our final banking instrument. That was submitted late spring this year. We got notification from the IRT, which is the internal review team, which means it's the Army Corps, USEPA, and WDNR that our submittal was complete. So they notified us that our application was complete and that they would be reviewing it now. And we should receive comments hopefully by the end of this month or sometime in October. We started some of the restoration projects in the non-mitigation portion of that property this summer through the help of the highway department and others. And then most recently we were awarded, I think it was last week we got the notification that we were awarded a $200,000 grant from the US Forestry Service to restore areas of the non-mitigation portion of the property as well. So this was the last time I presented to you. We were in that top circle. This is the IRT's timeline. You can see that we're slowly moving down. So hopefully by the end of this year and then end of this year into winter we'll get our final, the comments back and get our final plan in addressing those comments. And then hopefully by early spring to mid next year we'll be able to sell our first credits out at that site. If you recall they released 10% once we get the final approval before we have any restoration efforts going on in the mitigation portion of the project. So here's the cost breakdown thus far. If you recall our original outlay was $4.2 million. You've seen these numbers before. State Stewardship 2.44, the NRD 1.295. We hear and I know we've heard this before but that it's moving forward and the consent decree is being circulated for signatures at the different federal agencies that have to sign off on that. Then it'll go to public hearing and then ultimately the federal judge will sign off. So it's slowly but surely making its way through for signatures, we're being told. We've got about $42,000 in farm rent. So our total confirmed reimbursement thus far is 3.7 and some change. We recently got an offer to purchase on a lot. We'll be countering that offer and if we get about what we're asking we'll be made whole if that lot comes to fruition, that lot sale comes to fruition. And this is the last slide. These are the grants we receive thus far for the non-mitigation portion of the property. Again, we just last week or the week before we got the $200,000 from U.S. Forestry Service. Any questions? You may. Hang on just a second. There we go. I just have a question about the Amsterdam Dooms in the capital. We just tried to offer to our late last detail book. We had $872,000 in costs and the $872,000 out of funding. And I didn't know if the Amsterdam Dooms in our capital plan, since it's just listed as Amsterdam Dooms, is the mitigation part or does it relate to other? I believe in the capital plan. I don't have it in front of me, but I believe that's just the mitigation portion. The mitigation portion, okay. Thank you. And then hold on to reimbursements that are coming in for the mitigation. That would be the sale of the credits in the future. Okay, so we're anticipating sales for the mitigation thing. Do we have any contracts currently? No, we can't. You can't because it's not approved technically yet. I can tell you the going rate per acre is still between that $60,000 and $70,000 mark. So it's very likely we'll have those credits then? Yeah, it'll be over time because, again, there's proving periods as you go along. They release 10% as soon as it's approved of whatever you're approved for. Right now we have, we submitted our application with 59 credits. That's, well, we won't get 59 credits, but we shot high hoping that, you know, they'd whittle it down to 50 rather than start at 50 and have them whittle it down to 40. What I've learned is it's more of a negotiation than a science. So we started at 59, so with the hopes that we'll get 45, 50 at the end of the day. So they'll release 10% of whatever that number ends up being, and then as we restore the property, they'll release another percentage of credits. And again, that's a negotiation as well. I think we put in our document 15% thereafter, and then the final year 20 or something like that. I think I listed that in the cap plan with the amounts were the percentages, I should say. If I understand this right then, the answer to the capital plan is the mitigation portion of the answer to them. Reimbursements in that capital plan relate to the sale of the credits, which we don't know exactly. When it will come in, don't anticipate them. Sale of the credits, and then I would say anything over and above what we earn after this as well. Thank you very much. Survisor Nelson. I just want to start to hear as to what you expected in life in terms of identifying the entities and what happens. Yeah, I think the medium, the question Eric was, what's the lifespan of the medium? And I believe it's 10 years, correct? It's about a million, it's a minimum of 10 years. And well, again, the Elkhart Lake Association project is, as part of their cost, they're going to need to set aside for the after the 10 years to have either enough money to continue reckoning as it's from the farm of John Jens, or if the agreement falls through, they've got the money set aside for their association to post it back up to their farm. So part of their agreement for us to get involved, and they would have also budgeted so much through here to maintain the size of the farm. That was part of the buy-in of the improvement association. Okay, thank you gentlemen. Public addresses. First we have Jeff Powers of Plymouth to talk about manure pit issues. Good to go. Hi everyone. I'm Jeff Powers. I'm a resident of the town of Plymouth. I live on Clarity Way. I've been there 14 years, and last year manure pit was put in across the road of State Highway 67 in the Helmer farm. And it's caused a lot of issues for me as an average citizen, average taxpayer. I want to talk about, maybe you guys have never had complaints about these. It's not the odors. It's the fumes I'm worried about. Health issues to older people, children. In our subdivision we live in Emerald Hills. There's River Heights, and there's another subdivision just north of me. I want to inform the county board and all the supervisors about my concerns because I believe laws need to get changed. I know the Act Committee and the way it's structured and the DNR, and I've read some rules online. I know we're concerned about fosters and water, but my concern is the air quality. So if you read a definition, everybody thinks you're talking about odors of manure from livestock, but I'm more concerned about fumes and air quality. A fuel by definition is a dust or smoke or a gas or substance given off as a result of a chemical transformation and reaction heating. So Monorpit is cooking 24, well, let's say during the day the sun is cooking it. It has a crust, but it's still cooking by chemical reaction. So somehow, some way, my house would sit directly across. There's no trees really in front of me between me and Monorpit and several other residents in my subdivision. We breathe, okay, a fume has a chemical transformation, but it can be particles. So we're breathing hydrogen, sulfide, we're breathing probably bacteria, and I don't like it. And I don't think it's fair that the state of Wisconsin, Sheboygan County, the town of Plymouth, all allow this to go on near residential subdivision that's been there awhile. So I think, again, laws need to be changed, but my concern is the health again. My wife has asthma. She has trouble now over the last year. We're going to a pulmonary specialist because of this. There's four fumes involved. There's hydrogen, sulfide, there's methane, there's ammonia and carbon dioxide. So those gases mostly dissipate, but my concern again is hydrogen, sulfide. It's so strong it'll make you gag the smell that comes in, and we believe we're breathing fumes. It's so strong we have to close up our windows and not just me and them, it's my neighbors as well. So we're all concerned about this, and the real ultimate thing is my property value has been devalued. And I don't think Sheboygan County realized it or town of Plymouth.  So I think there's got to be some changes, some ordinances, either Sheboygan County or the state or the DNR has to pay attention to. We're all farm friendly. We live in a farm state. So I'm not trying to disrupt anything. I just want to make sure homeowners that are in the area of a manure pit, you know, have some protection. I know I wasn't notified of the manure pit being installed. I know nobody in the laws has to notify me, but that's wrong. You know, it's wrong because my wife and I wanted to retire at our house. We wanted to put on a deck, you know, cook outside. You can't do that in most days. And I'm talking about, you know, seven days a week. We're in front of about two o'clock to eight o'clock. You know, you cannot be outside. Otherwise, it'll make a gag. Again, we don't want to breathe that. Okay. So the supervisors to be aware that if there's any other pits, you know, we want the public to be involved. We want the laws to change. We want somebody to stand up for the homeowners. I'm not trying to change anything, but I have some concerns, you know, why we didn't have a storage tank as opposed to an open pit. Is the manure pit operating the way it should? Because if I can smell this seven days a week, in my mind, talking to farmers, they should be across over this and we shouldn't smell it until it's popped out. However, I'm getting it, you know, seven days a week. So I want you guys to be aware of this. And that's why I bring it up. I'm not the only one complaining about this. I do have some questions. I'd like somebody from Sheboygan County Board of Supervisors to answer. I had some questions answered by them. And I appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you. Next, John. All right. We have Alan Noel giving an update on the Veterans Memorial. First off, I'd like to thank the County Board, again, for approving the budget for the Veterans Service Office so that they could purchase flags for the deceased veterans on her cemeteries. All of you should have a notice on your desk about an AIM dedication coming up on October the 14th at the Veterans Memorial at one o'clock in the afternoon. We are going to be adding 51 new names to the memorial this year, and that is actually a new record for us, a number of names we're adding this year. The memorial is getting to be known, and we're really glad that it's coming this way. We've changed the lighting out there. It took us many years, but we are totally LED lighting. We've cut our consumption of electricity almost by 80% by going to LED lighting. And because of that, we now, if you notice, when you go by, we have lights on from dust till dawn. So anytime you go past the memorial now at night, you will see the memorial lit. The last time I think I gave a report, we have now a webpage up on the internet about the Veterans Memorial. On that webpage, there is a tab that says find a veteran. We have 3,480 names of veterans on our memorial, and you can go there and you can find a veteran. You can see if a veteran you might know or a relative, you can find out if their name is on there, and if they're not, we would encourage you to fill out an application form and surprise them and add them to the memorial. Again, I'm telling you about our thing on Saturday, October the 14th. It gives you an opportunity to come out and meet the veterans that have served from Sheboyin County and thank them for their service. Are there any questions? What's the website name? The name of the website? Oh, it's Sheboyin County Veterans Memorial. Yeah, .com. Okay, thank you. Thanks. Any other questions? Okay, thank you for your time. Thank you, Al. Letters, communications, and announcements. First off, I have three resolutions pertaining to redistricting procedures, one from the Town of Hull Board of Supervisors in the County of Portage, the second from Monroe County Board of Supervisors, and then La Crosse County Board of Supervisors. We'll receive those for information. Next, I have a resolution from now to Gamy County Board of Supervisors opposing legislation that would automatically revoke probation of persons charged with crimes. We'll refer that to the law committee. And finally, I have a resolution from the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors opposing portions of proposed legislation dealing with the motor vehicle registration fees. We'll refer that to the finance committee. That is all. Thank you. County Administrators Report. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good evening. You know, every time Alan Null comes to a county board meeting and shares his pride in our Veterans Memorial and talks about the service of veterans and just the good work that he and veterans do in this community, I just want to say thank you, Alan. Chairman Tom Wagner and I attended the fifth anniversary of the Veterans Court last week, the week before, it was last week, and Alan once again was there and was one of the mentors to the veterans that go through this program. And I know Tom and I both took notice that you're just one of those individuals that steps up time and time again, and we thank you for your service to this community. Aaron, I want to say thank you to you and Eric as well. When you go through the budget process, it's just a quick reminder to all of us just how many things are going on in Sheboydon County Government. And I know, I don't know if it was Chairman Wagner, I think it might have been Chairman Distruty that said, you know, every board meeting would be nice to hear from a different department head and for a while we were pretty good about doing that and then we've ebbed and flowed a little bit. But what a nice presentation. There are so many good things happening and planning and conservation. And when you're on that committee, you don't have a full appreciation of the good work. So thank you both for the ongoing initiatives and planning and conservation. And as I look around the room, we have some department heads with us tonight. When you talk about the budget process, it continues to go well. It's not easy, but it continues to go well. And it goes well because of people like Wendy and her staff, Jeremy and Stephanie and Jessica. And it goes well because of our department head leadership team. And one of the reasons why we're coming in so effectively hitting the target this year is the good work of Rachelle Valesky and her staff at Rocky Gnome. That was one of the pleasant surprises in the process because they came well in under the target which provided some additional flexibility for the rest of the departments. I attended the Health Care Center's committee meeting was that last week, Monday, I shouldn't even try to give these dates because time eludes me so quickly. But it was Rachelle's last Health Care Center's committee. And I know I speak for the committee when I say how much we have appreciated her thoughtful leadership and incredible track record during the last five years at Rocky Gnome. It's been superb. And we will dearly miss her. But we also are very fortunate that she gave ample notice and helped select our new Rocky Gnome administrator. Would Kayla Clinton please stand and be recognized? Kayla, welcome aboard. So these two are currently working with about a three-week overlap which is just wonderful for Kayla. She has high credentials, but to be able to work with Rachelle and get a feel for the organization and have a seamless transition is just fantastic. So we thank you both. As I said, the budget process is going well. The finance committee now is doing the heavy lifting. The department heads have been meeting with the finance committee. And if you've hit the target and you've done your due diligence, which is the case throughout the organization, it's been going pretty smoothly as those departments heads can attest who have already been there. I think I reported last month we were targeting a modest 1.35% levy increase and a tax rate reduction. I'm doing that from memory. So I think I'm pretty close there, Emmett. I know you reported it for us and I appreciate that. We're still looking good. We're still on target. The budget is coming in shortly as well as the capital outlier requests, both which are a little beyond the goals we established. But because of some of the flexibility we have, as well as the work we've been doing to prioritize, we're going to be just fine. We're going to be just fine. The last thing I wanted to touch on is the transportation complex. As promised, I said each month I'd give a brief update. Elaine Bosman, my assistant is here this night and for Chris Lewinsky who is on a much-deserved vacation. Elaine, as you know, just coordinated our all-employee appreciation picnic where we had, I think, a little over 400 people participate. It was very successful. And she keeps Tom and I in line, so we appreciate that. That is a true statement. The first slide. This is a shot of the transportation complex. I'm sure a number of you drive by from time to time, but I know all of you don't. And let me tell you, good progress is being made under the oversight of folks like Greg Schnell and his team and Jim Tobist and his team. And we're real pleased with the progress. We are still looking about four or five weeks late because of all the rain this summer, but I'm sure this good weather of late has been very helpful. But this is a shot from 67 and J where you can see the rough work that was completed with bringing in the water lines from Rocky Knoll. Next slide. We recently had the transportation committee out there. We did a little tour. And as you can see from this photo, the door canopies are all being installed right now. And one of the reasons for the door canopies, why take that expense? Well, we've tried to be very sensitive to the neighbors. And there were some neighbors a little concerned about this massive building going up down the road. And the canopies will keep lighting more directed down or in the parking lot area rather than just shooting all over the place and being more disrupting to the neighbors. So I appreciate how Greg has worked with the neighborhood to make sure that their input's been heard and that we're sensitive to concerns like that. Next slide, please. Here's the office complex, which is far smaller than the overall garage and building and where the work is done on all the equipment. So as you can see, the office area is right in front. The roof has gone on. And so far it's looking good. Next slide. Here you can see from the business across the way the main parking garage, which is obviously the main component of this facility, it is massive and looking good. Next slide. There's the mugshot of most of the members of the Transportation Committee. Chairman Wagner and I, along with Jim DeBeest and Greg Schnell, we had a chance to go through the facility and have just a great tour. And that day they were pouring the concrete in the main garage. Next slide. And if memory serves, and I see Greg in the room, wasn't it 30 truckloads a day? Say again? 300 yards a day. 300 yards a day. How many trucks? 30. Right around 30, right? Unbelievable. As you can see, we're observing one of those truckloads coming in and what a smooth operation. It's different than many of us may have seen happen with our house or a driveway where one truck, maybe two and a few guys working at it, these guys, they were good and they were effective. Next slide, please. And as you can see, that garage now is completed. And 30 truckloads a day. They weren't moving, so appreciate the work there. Next slide. This is the repair shop and an angle from the mezzanine or storage area up above. Concrete has yet to be poured, but that's where a lot of the maintenance work will be done on the vehicles that are obviously stored in the garage. Next slide. And then this is some in-floor heat. We have some in-floor heat going into this facility because it's more efficient. Next slide. And then finally, this is the vantage point from the driveway. So, so far, so good. We are within budget. We haven't made great use of our contingency. Generally, you know, when you do a project, you build in five, six percent contingency. I think that was upwards of 1.8 million or thereabouts. I know we've had a few change orders, but overall, things are well within budget. And again, I want to say thank you to Greg Schnell and Jim to Beast and the folks who have been closely involved with this. It's going well. With that, Mr. Chairman, thank you very much. Thank you, Adam. Okay, consideration of committee reports from the executive committee. Resolution number nine regarding 2018 five-year capital plan, committee recommendation to adopt. Supervisor Tostridi. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll move for adoption. Thank you, Supervisor Tostridi. Supervisor Wegeman. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll second that. Thank you, Supervisor Wegeman. Question. Supervisor Otten. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regards to the warehouse maintenance garage, I thought that that would be covered by the sale of that property. Okay, that's correct. Could somebody answer that? Originally, we were hoping or we had an estimate that the courthouse maintenance garage would be closer to 250,000. Jim to Beast or Aaron Brault can both correct me if I share anything incorrectly here. After we got estimates, it came in higher than that. It's important. We want to get it done. So the reimbursement of 255 is from the sale proceeds of the parking area, which is ultimately going to be an apartment complex, but it didn't cover the entire cost of the new garage. I'm looking at Aaron and Jim. Anything to add there? Thank you, Supervisor Otten. Supervisor Ureiner. This is a capital plan. It's a big, big expenditure for us with the county board of 20 million over five years. 53 million before reimbursements.  And one of the pieces, the terminal building at the airport, to have a number of friends and associates that are part of the airport environment and family. And what I've gathered over the years is I really don't have a need for a fully staffed terminal at that airport. So I'm going to make a motion to take the terminal building development out of the capital plan. I assume that's an order. Correct, Carl? Yes. Okay, thank you. Is there a second to that motion? Is there a second to that motion? Yes. Mr. Chairman, I will second that motion. Thank you. Could you identify what line that you're looking at, please? Do you have a copy? Do you know it? 287 is the project number. And it's the third one. Number two under airport and entire length. Surveyser Hoffman. Mr. Chairman, may I speak to that particular amendment? Yes, you may. Okay, thank you. I have thought about this long and hard for several years. And as you know, I don't feel that we need this building out at our airport. As you know, I'm a flight instructor. I own a hang at the airport. I've been flying out of the airport since the early 80s. And, you know, the airport is just what it is. If we build this building, we're not going to attract an airline. And we have good facilities the way it is. And I, you know, I don't understand why we're going to spend $1.2 million. I mean, there are several communities that have built terminal buildings and they're literally empty and unused. I can mention Eau Claire. Oshkosh has very little use except during EAA. And for us to put this in here and until such time as somebody can show me that this is a good expense of the public taxpayer money, I'm opposing it. And I've been all over this country. I get into a lot of terminals. I do a lot of flying. You know, like just last weekend, I just took a run up to O'Connell and back with the wife for a fly in. So I do a lot of flying. And I talked to a lot of the people out at the airport. And they agree with me. I mean, this is a senseless expense of the taxpayers money. So I would, I'm supporting this and I hope you do too to take this money out of this particular capital plan. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor Winkle. As a member of the airport, I didn't support this initially until I heard from the people at Polar Company, Ball Rat Company, Bemis, Lakeland College, the need for a terminal. The other thing is that it will not be staffed by county personnel. It will most likely be staffed by our FBO operator. Thank you, Supervisor Winkle. Anyone else? Maybe Adam? You could follow up on that because I know you've been involved in it. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'd like to follow up on Supervisor Winkle's comments. I heard the same. I think many of our larger businesses see this as a potential enhancement to our airport. And as everyone knows, the airport is the first impression people get in our community when they come across the state and the world and fly into that airport. And more of that is happening. The Transportation Committee, the Transportation Committee's Advisory Committee, Greg Schnell, Charles Sweet, a number of people have been involved in discussions. We recently had a consultant come in and give recommendations on costs and configurations. Final decisions have not been made, but I do know, as Supervisor Winkle said, companies like Polar and others are interested in not only the terminal being explored, but also establishing customs here. Right now, any time they go on an international flight or Bemis does or Johnsonville does, they have to fly in and out of Green Bay before they come directly to Sheboygan County. And that's an impediment to their business and it's likely going to be an impediment to others. So it's not in 2018, it's considered for 2019. So obviously, if plans don't continue to develop or look favorable, this can still be removed. Or as the motion is on the floor, you could remove it now too, but certainly that gives some mixed messages, I think, to the Transportation Committee, Greg Schnell, Charles Sweet and our Advisory Committee that are currently working on this. Thank you, Adam. Supervisor Winkle? The ability to bring customs here was one of the overriding issues with both the Polar Company and the Polar Company. Thank you, Supervisor Winkle. Okay, Fair. Supervisor Wegeman? Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It's been a while since I've been flying, but I've flown for nearly 20 years and had a plane out to the airport also and I'll respectfully disagree with Brian. I can't believe we haven't had a terminal thus far when you go to a lot of the other airports that I went to. I couldn't believe how nice their terminals were and what we had here. And it was almost embarrassing sometimes. Sheboygan's got a lot more traffic than some of the airports that Brian mentioned. Oh, Claire is an example. Sheboygan's traffic going in and out is much, much higher and same with Oshkosh, although Oshkosh is the airport, it's doing quite well. So all I'll say is we're not covering all this. A lot of this is state and federal money and I think it would be a great investment for the county. Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Wegeman. Supervisor Hoffman, were you up again? Please.  I don't think that we're going to have a full-time customs agent here for, you know, maybe one or two flights a day. That's just not in the cards. You know, can you see it? I can't see it. They're going to have a customs department here at Sheboygan Airport. I predict that that'll never happen. It's a good thought. And as for, you know, Greg and I have a different opinion, but saying that it's a lot of this is federal dollars, yeah, but it's still taxpayer money and I still don't see the need. I haven't been convinced. So, and I've been to a lot of airports recently and, well, anyway, that's my opinion. Thank you. Thank you. Surveysia Rainer. The bottom line for us to look at is, is this a need or is this a want? A smaller group of companies that might have the opportunity to have customs? Then what might the taxpayers I have represented have said why are we tapping the taxpayers in general or that? And I think we as supervisors we are accountable to our citizens. So I am going to vote to take the generally out of the plan. Thank you. Supervisor Epping. Thank you, Chairman Wagner. The million dollars or whatever allocation is being proposed for this. Is this just the construction of it? And I wonder, are we going to be putting up money for operating expenses for this terminal? Or is the private sector going to help with those costs? These are questions that I have about this issue. Thank you. Thank you, Surveysia Epping. Surveysia Bemis. I think as we look at wants and needs it probably is not a need today or tomorrow. But in a year or two down the road it could possibly be a need. And I think with interest rates the way they are today it's good to get a lot of our future needs taken care of now. I can remember when interest rates we were talking about 18%. Now we're talking what, 2, 3? Thank you, Supervisor Bemis. Supervisor Wigelman. I should comment that the finance committee already discussed the possibility of getting the counties portion of this paid for by the private sector. And that was discussed at two different finance committee meetings. I think there's a very good possibility that if we go to some of the companies that Supervisor Winkle mentioned earlier we're going to see some private funding for this to help us offset some of our costs. Thank you. Thank you, Surveysia Wigelman. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. One of the things I know they sent out a questionnaire once and that was to be a lot of things were reported and came back to the airport commission but one of the things was our building. And that's also a reason why we're thinking about it and changing which I've been thinking about for 10 years since I've been on that thing. The other thing is we should be listening to what our employees in this area ask for and what they need. And that's why we did the UW additional work. You've got to listen to what they know what they need. We don't know that. They use it and use it regularly. And I would believe I hate to say this because if 10% of you ever went out there and went into that building to see what it looks like I'm sure that if you flew in and out you would not like it either. And we need somebody there to get a good impression of what our airport is because we do use it a lot more and more in the future. Think about what's going to happen even if this big company is building and receding. All over this state people are going to be trying to get businesses there and that's going to affect this our airport as well as everybody else's. So I'm willing to do that. Thank you, Supervisor Conradie. Supervisor Tistrude. I would urge everyone to leave this in the capital plan for the company, it is. We have more activity in our airport advisory community. It had been dormant for about a year and a half. We're getting a lot of input and we're searching what is the best location, what is the best way to do it, how to help finance it. At the last airport advisory it was mentioned that many of the corporates have been out in Manitowoc Airport and I believe if I'm correct on this there's one more that will be leaving this year and then there will be no more corporates out in Manitowoc County airport at all. These are some of the things we need to consider. Business is the lifeblood of our community and we need to support them. I would urge us to leave this in the plan for now and we'll dig deeper into the details and I'm positive the transportation and finance committee will look into it thoroughly and come up with the best plan going forward and certainly if there is not a need I would I'm sure that it can be removed at that time. Thank you. Thank you, Surveyser Tasterty. Anyone else? If not then the motion is to remove that amount for the terminal which is lying. What Carl? Okay, so if I have it right okay. Yes vote removes it and no vote keeps it in. Correct? Okay, please vote. The motion is not approved for eyes to 21 days. Thank you. Surveyser Hoffman. Before we vote on the motion I have a question about why isn't there any money in the law area for expansion of our jail at this time or in the very, very near future? Because I think we had better start looking at that. I believe it's down there but it is out further. Yeah, it's out too far I think. That's fine. I think that's where the finance committee moved it to. Greg you want to comment on that at all? Yes, thank you Mr. Chairman. The finance committee discussed this at length and number one we didn't think enough time and effort had been spent on investigating our various options and now we've gone back to the sheriff and asked for other alternatives that would not entail the kind of costs that were being discussed. So we think there can be some better alternatives than what we're originally shown to us. Thank you, Surveyser Wegeman. Surveyser Rainer. Yes, the Sheriff Department had asked for I believe it was close to 30 million dollars to build up the jail to add a stack up to the current jail and apparently this has been a long range plan for at least 10 years and there is currently concern that the jails will become overcrowded very soon in the next few years and we've got to allocate our resources in this capital plan based on where the needs are and it is concerning at this point that didn't get pushed beyond the five year plan the amount of money in here is simply for some kind of study I believe but not for an actual building and just a quick comment I can assure you 1.7 million dollars isn't for a study that's for the engineering and design of the proposed 30 million dollar addition and I imagine most of the board feels similar and the last thing we want to do is spend 30 million dollars in addition to our detention center the sheriff and inspector have clearly shown there's a need and at one point we were pretty much full it subsided a little bit but I thought the finance committee was very clear that they want to see alternatives and not only alternatives to incarceration but options to work with other surrounding counties and I've already met with some of my peers talking about perhaps a regional facility so I heard Chairman and the finance committee loud and clear and I think it's a very appropriate challenge we really need to look at all options before we spend 30 million dollars on an addition but the 1.7 million in there for 222 is for actually the planning and design of that addition thank you Mr. Chairman thank you Adam we have a Survisor Bemis I would hope that we can have something figured out and taken care of before we have to go out and buy tents agreed anybody else we have a motion I believe before us to approve the five-year capital plan and seeing no other lights please push your I button to approve it or your NAY button not to the motion has approved 23 A's two NAYs ordinance number four regarding changing supervisory district boundaries to reflect annexations committee recommendation to enact Supervisor Gehring thank you Mr. Chairman I move to enact ordinance number four thank you Supervisor Gehring Supervisor Damp I will second that motion thank you Supervisor Damp any discussion seeing no lights please push your I that motion is approved unanimously I'll turn the gavel over to the vice chair resolution is introduced resolution number 10 from the finance committee regarding approving standard intergovernmental agreement for 2018 county sales tax revenue sharing resolution number 10 will be referred to the executive committee resolution number 11 from the law committee regarding authorizing an application for fiscal year 2017 justice assistance grant program award and entering into an MOU with the city of Sheboygan resolution number 11 is referred to the finance committee resolution number 12 from the transportation committee regarding authorizing county aid for bridge and culvert construction in the towns of Herman, Holland, Lima and Sheboygan Falls resolution number 12 will be referred to the finance committee now ordinance is introduced ordinance number five from the law committee regarding increasing medical examiner fees to match increasing costs ordinance number five is referred to the finance committee next item on the agenda is adjournment supervisor Winkle motion is to adjourn is there a second?
