Mr. Steve Pate, MIS, appeared and gave a brief monthly report. He stated that the Mapping Department would be giving a demonstration on July 28, 2005 for local EMTs to find out what they wanted to see in the line of maps.
He distributed a copy of an agreement with Ayres and Associates regarding
a proposal to make Sauk County photography available to other organizations
such as DOT, FEMA, DNR and MSA. The agreement sets the charges to other
agencies and was a cost recovery program for the County. The charges were
briefly reviewed. It was noted that these charges were cheaper than what
the County would need to charge. Mr. Gurney questioned if the digital terrain
model would be included. Motion by Gaalswyk, seconded by Ashford to approve
the proposed contract providing that digital terrain models would not be
included.

Mr. Gurney, Planning and Zoning Director, gave a brief monthly report. He has been working on the budget and should have something for the Committee to review in August. The Kelo vs. New London decision regarding eminent domain and private property was discussed.
The resolution supporting measures to contaminant free groundwater and private wells, which had been referred back to the Committee by the County Board, was discussed. The original plan was to have a presentation made to the entire Board at their next session. This was not acceptable to the Board.

This proposed forum could include, Laura Olah, Rob Sinclair, the Army, DNR, the Towns of Merrimac, Sumpter and Prairie du Sac, as well as other interested agencies. Ms. Laura Olah and Mr. Rob Sinclair briefly addressed the Committee. Contamination sources were discussed.
The Committee then reviewed the voucher list as presented by Planning
