COMMUNICATIONS: Supervisor Hartje expressed concern over what he felt were numerous procedural changes being introduced by the interim Administrative Coordinator, particularly noting a change in the departmental report form. K. Schauf, interim Administrative Coordinator, responded citing most of the changes being introduced were in response to "communication issues" being an area of major concern previously expressed by the County Board. Schauf further explained she had previously advised the E&L Committee of her attempt to institute a standard reporting form for use by all County departments.
DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO SCCO, CHAPTERS 13 AND 35: T. Liebman, Corporation Counsel, distributed copies and reviewed with Committee members an updated draft of proposed amendments to Chapter 13 and 35 of the Sauk County Code of Ordinances, which he believed to contain the intentions of the Board of Supervisors, after being referred back to these committees for re-consideration. Considerable discussion followed with a motion by Hartje, seconded by Alexander to approve the ordinance as presented and recommend forwarding same to the County Board for consideration at the January 17, 2006 meeting. Motion carried by separate, unanimous vote of each committee. Committee members asked that a hard copy of the proposed ordinance and amendments be sent to County Board members following adjournment of today's meeting.
