I have two daughters in high school a sophomore and a senior my sophomore in particulars Participated in sports whether it's a track or cross-country and currently basketball and they just played And what is in the water in Usberg? I mean you say Usberg and it's equivalent to excellence. It's incredible the track record in that community and not only the outstanding achievements Academically, but every time you talk sports Usberg always seems to be right up at the top And as you know last year around this time, we had the pleasure of honoring and acknowledging tremendous and Outstanding achievement and tonight we get to do so again so this evening in the back of the room if you haven't noticed We have a very sharp-looking group. We have the Usberg High Flying Dutchman the 2012 WAA volleyball Division 3 state champion State champions two consecutive years would coach grip pink and the team please come forward View was about to change dramatically up here Right on down here, and then you can just be right in front supervisors representing this in area include Devin Lemieux Al Bosman and chairman Roger Distrudi and This has got to be the pride of the community right now because these young ladies again now once but twice now have brought home a Division 3 state championship The coach was kind enough to share a little background with me And let me let me set the stage before I turn it over to the chairman and the coach to say a few words This year the Usberg volleyball team finished their season with a second consecutive state championship an overall record of 43 and 4 43 and 4 they were perfect in conference play with an 18 and old record and they won four tournaments including the Shabuagan County tournament Coach grip Nick wrote the following note about the team and their season grip Gripping thank you coach from this point forward it'll be coach Coach wrote the following note about their team and their season our Experiences over the last two years have taught us that it is very hard to win any state championship You have to rise to challenges that test you considerably often beyond what you are expecting This is true regardless of the talent your team possesses You almost always have to beat a team or two that is your equal in many ways this year We had to beat two teams in the tournament series sectional final and state finals They were our equals or maybe even a little better at times I simply don't think this group would have made it happen for a second year without their incredible drive and Competitiveness that allowed them to constantly push forward and improve We knew from the very beginning of the season that this team was talented But if they would not have improved nearly every single week during the season to allow them to perform at a very high level When it was needed the most they would not have been able to win the sectional final against We're seeing st. Catharines nor what they have been able to play well enough in the state championship to beat O'Connor The coach said I am so proud of them for their mature perspective and constant drive to get better And I hope we can replicate that approach next year because we are going to be in a very similar position Could they be back a third year? If Chairman Rodgers strudy could please come forward as well as Supervisors Al Bosman and Devon Lemieux to hand out the certificates So I'll turn this over to the chair and then he'll turn it over to the coach to say a few words First one is Shannon Bolt Megan Daney Brittany Gabriel's Kerry Hartman Jaden Veronica Abby Hittner Miranda Huber X Maria Huber X Natalie Minin Jocelyn Stemper Abby Vinstely Coach Scott Grapeke manager Sabrina Lamers Freshman coach Amy Gooth And we have a couple of them that weren't able to make it tonight Maddie Decker And Janice Brevelli Jolie Brevelli Austin Wolterdink JV coach Ashley Holzer Would you join me in a round of applause for Coach would you would you say a few words coach? Well first of all Thank you very much to the county board for having us here tonight and recognizing the girls state championship It really means a lot to us that you would take time from your busy schedule to recognize us in this way And we're really honored so thank you Just a little bit more background to add to Adam's comments It might surprise you to know that of all the girls that were here last year Half of them returned and half of the faces are brand new faces Last year's Experience was completely different than this year's experience the the first year we won the state championship It came as a year of exceeding expectations and a huge surprise. It was a very nice surprise This year was exactly the opposite expectations were extremely high And they were a bit of a burden at times When just an example of that is when the first coaches pole came out These girls were rated number one and with each week that passed throughout the season They retained that number one ranking and and that was there out in front of us Most of them know that as a coach. I'm not really into state rankings state rankings are kind of about talk They're kind of about hype and out on the volleyball quarter in any athletic situation It's really about executing and getting the job done when you're a coach and you see those rankings They're they're Disturbing in a way because you worry about what it'll do to our heads It'll do worry about what it'll do to our complacence But one of the things that I just wanted to share about these guys is that just never happened They were humble. They were driven. They just wanted to be better. They didn't let that kind of hype from the exterior Keep them from getting better every week and to me That's exactly why they were able to accomplish what they were and I do say it a little bit To them halfway through the winter as a reminder as we reflect back on this past year That was the secret to success for us and it may be next year as well And it would be great to be back here again next year. Thanks again for having us. We appreciate it as you know As you know, you're welcome to stay for the rest of the meeting though, although we don't blame you if you want to get rolling, but Supervisor let me you in particular wanted me to share as well as the other two supervisors that represent your district Those certificates are good for 50% off a lake shore weekly ad And and if you see Supervisor Bosman or Supervisor Distruty, they're also good for a lunch up to $10 Are there any public addresses this evening? There are none Letters communications and announcements There's a communication from Russ County Board of Supervisors supporting same-day voter registration That will be received for information Next is the county administrators report. Thank you, Mr. Chairman February's been a Would say it's kind of a melancholy or sentimental time in my life and in my family's life as I mentioned you know seeing these young ladies and and their accomplishments my My children all turn 2018 and 16 in the last couple of months to my daughters that are their birthdays this month So 18 and 16 I turned 46 this month When I started this job 14 years ago, I was 32 The youngest county administrative coordinator at the time of the state my children were two four and six and My wife this weekend took out the videotapes and we watched some more home videos of the children and The first rental we were in Plymouth and the snowstorm that came I think what was it January 1st or 2nd of 1999 where it was just incredible snowstorm and we just got moved in before that but The last month I find myself Thinking about my life here and and and how fortunate my family has been to live and go to school and Just be part of this community my grandmother my grandmother pain turns 97 this month Celebrating her birthday As many of you may know but some of you perhaps not my parents and grandparents and great-grandparents We're all born and raised in this community.

We lived there for 13 years and then we moved here 14 years ago and as I reflect on celebrating success and How fortunate we've been To live in this community and then I've got two daughters on the threshold of graduating from high school You just want to bottle those moments that much more my youngest now is a sophomore to be a junior You just want to you want to bottle that every basketball game Every achievement.

Thank You chairman. Distorted. I guess I'd just like to ask members of the HR committee or the finance committee Because of the Recovering economic times it does Seem to me that a 3% increase and 2.5% increase seems to be Increased and I was just wondering what the rationale for Making those numbers as such Supervisor Lemieux, would you care to respond to that? I certainly will mr. Chairman Supervisor epping we're sort of when we went into this negotiations we're sort of In a new atmosphere under Act 10 Being as only law enforcement or subject arbitration anymore We didn't have a whole lot of other comparables and And other municipalities and agreements excuse me to work off of a lot of the agreements that we did see out there the Raises involved equal the retirement contributions such as what the city of Sheboygan did last year of the year before They'd give a 2% raise and then 2% contributions Those are the only agreements that we saw With the agreement that we have here in hand It is a 3% raise the first year, but they're paying their full retirement contribution portion, so it's actually a Roughly 3.5% cut to their pay starting March 10 2014 it is another 2.5% raise, but that's still 1% below where they were at in 2012 and Then the 2% the final year once you factor in a family plan for health insurance Their net take-home pay is going to be roughly the same as as what it was in 2012 so that being said we this is We haven't seen an agreement like they're out there this good in any of our comparables a lot of other counties are going to arbitration they're not even talking about WRS Contributions Counties are holding up for 0% raises with status coal and WRS, so we feel that We're sort of leading the way with a deal that we haven't even seen out there Finalized thought I think the the union actually stepped up on this one because they're taking a 3.5% pay hit and we haven't seen any other union voluntarily taking a net pay cut Thank You supervisor Lemuel. Is there any further discussion? Supervisor Epping Lemuel for that explanation It makes perfect sense and it does provide us with the answers for For why increases are Given that at this point and I appreciate that.
