With that, we do have a quorum present, so we'll move on to inspirational message tonight provided by Supervisor Cruzios.

managed to miss my last name on this line, but I found out on Monday that I was giving a speech today. And so I kind of centered myself and thought through, you know, there's so much wisdom here in this room. thought through exactly what it is that I can bring forward as a message to illuminate, bring a perspective that might not otherwise come forward. And something that I've been consistently asked as I've gotten more and more involved in local and state politics is how to reach and engage with younger voters. So I think that's what I decided to speak on tonight. Much has been said on how different one generation is you would think a generational gap is an insurmountable chasm as if five to 10 years makes us fundamentally different people. I think the significance of generations are often overstated but how we talk about young voters often follows a similar pattern. Questions of turnout or ideology or how to connect meaningfully are often flattened into buzzwords like authenticity or simplified into posting on social media or simply making podcast appearances. While there's certainly a kernel of truth to these aphorisms, I don't believe they are enough on their own to reach young people where they are. What is often missing is an understanding of the context we, those my age and younger, have grown up in. I only technically remember 9-11. I was four at the time. In 2008, I entered into the sixth grade. I remember watching the aftermath of my father's small real estate business. meet while my dad pivoted to becoming a respiratory therapist. While the majority of people in Generation Z, I am among the oldest of that cohort, do not remember the 2008 crash, we all grew up and came of age in the aftermath, an era of reduced economic opportunity and a shrunken middle class. a steep contraction in their net worthwhile incomes already stagnant since the 1980s further flattened many many families lost their homes many more like my parents were forced to get out take out an additional mortgage to get by college tuition had never been higher yet a college degree seemed to be the only way one could hope of having a middle class life to contrast this my father from Peru as a teenager. His parents worked service and manual labor jobs, and after many, many years, bought a home in the 1980s. In his early 20s, my dad went to college for political science, paying his way through school with a part-time job. After graduating, he went on to try his hand at law school, and while he dropped out in his second year, he did so without taking on any debts across either of those two adventures through school. Years later, he would meet my mom, a nurse, while working as a janitor at a local hospital. They got married in the late 1980s, purchased their first home for $250,000 in the early 1990s. While at no point was it easy, my father and his family were able to find great economic success in this country, and thanks to their hard work, I was lucky enough to have a firmly middle-class upbringing. Today, many of my peers do not face the same economic outlook their parents once did. Those who went to college took on significant debt, many do not work in the field they studied for, and those who do face a rising cost of living that makes it hard to pay off student loans, much less save. Most folks my age and younger know people who grew up fairly middle class, but today are paycheck to paycheck. Many of us are living that reality ourselves. And those who grew up struggling to get by have far bleaker prospects. We all grew up hearing stories of the great American dream, where one generation grows into a world with more opportunity than the last. Yet Generation Z was born into the opposite reality. If you work hard, make the right decisions early in life, and if you get lucky, you might just grow into an adulthood with similar economic security as your parents. You may even be able to afford to buy a home or start a family. Probably not both, but maybe one or the other. While this extreme is more pronounced on the coast than it is here in the Midwest, it becomes more of an economic reality year after year. With the internet and social media, there is no veil of ignorance shielding young people from the reality of the world before them. I grew up in a culture awash with dark humor of how hopeless our future was. If there is one phrase to describe what I mean, it would be a culture of nihilism. Everyone responds to this reality in different ways. selling get-rich-quick schemes or online gambling, but many, many more fall into despair and hopelessness. Our mental health crisis and drug addiction crisis is one manifestation of this, as is the ever-growing rise in unfathomable violence some young people turn to. When faced with little hope for the future, a culture steeped in nihilism, and the inescapable sense that to violence, lashing out at the society they have been so alienated from. And that there is the core of what I want to convey to you all tonight. A sense of cultural despair, nihilism, a feeling that there is little future for you or your peers, and a lack of faith in our institutions to do anything about it. Together these manifest in an atomization of community and a widespread alienation from society. I do not share this with you all to instill the same sense of helplessness or despair. I do it to explain why, to young people, the politics of the last 30 years is so deeply unpalatable. If there was a time in the 80s and 90s where our economy worked for regular people, and that's debatable, it certainly isn't working for us today. Most young folks do not trust our institutions to rise to meet the moment. And this is ultimately the reason today's youth politically disengage or sit out elections. Others do the opposite. They rage against the machine, demanding radical overhauls and dramatic measures, or taking a chainsaw to the system as a whole. For those furthest removed from our present reality, this is one of the key allures of Trump and MAGA. They speak to these economic insecurities, to agree with their supposed solutions, it's undeniable they demonstrate a willingness to buck convention to make change happen. Likewise, many on the political left demand radical change and will readily abandon those they perceive as slow to act. From the perspective of the rest of society, from our perspective, they see these tendencies and believe today's youth are firmly caught in the trappings of radicalism. I believe it's more accurate to say they feel unheard and disregarded. Why would someone engage with a system they believe has failed them? Why should they settle for the status quo? Luckily for us here today, we are the people with the power to make a meaningful difference. Whether it be by tirelessly working to make Dane County an affordable place to live, or our employees are paid a livable wage with health care that allows them to raise a family without fear of bankruptcy, or working individually to convey the urgency of this economic crisis to those in higher office, we are the ones who can make a difference. Even simply speaking to the urgency of the moment, not shying from the harsh reality many face, can make a real difference. When former incumbent Steve Peters asked me to run for his seat last December, it was this reality, that most young people have no faith whatsoever in our politics, that ultimately brought me to say yes. If anything is to be done to repair young Americans' relationship with our society, with their community, with our system of politics, it begins with all of us. I ask you to join me in

So with that, we're on to special matters and announcements with the start of this section being the presentation of Land Water Resources Department on the Mendoza County Park Improvement Project and Lake Aquatic Management Program. Laura, welcome.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for being here tonight. I'm Laura Hicklin. I'm director of the Land and Water Resources Department. I also have Jolene Stinson, Dane County Parks Director here with me. And we are so excited to welcome you to Mendota County Park. We love seeing you come out to enjoy one of our most beautiful properties. So thank you for making the effort. I know it's not always the most convenient, but it's also a great opportunity to see one of our oldest parks but also one that we've made a lot of investments in quite recently. So earlier this year we had a ribbon cutting to unveil this beautiful new timber frame shelter. It was made possible through a significant donation from the children of Tom and Karen Regetts. They dedicated this shelter in honor of their parents. They made a donation of $1.5 million that facilitated not only this, but the amazing accessible playground that you can see behind us. That playground is worth visiting if you have time. It has a court in place surface, which was one of the key features that makes new playground developments accessible for all residents that wanna enjoy them. We were also able to upgrade a lot of the walkways in the park. The parking lot, which while not very exciting, is a really important part of our infrastructure. That was refurbished. New walking trails, our park staff refurbished the restrooms and the shower house, which is one of the oldest in the facilities. And Dane County did match that donation of approximately a million dollars so thanks to all of you in the county budget process we had roughly 900 000 that went into this project in addition to that donation and then we also had significant staff time that went into it so the park is looking better than ever we've gotten great reviews on it and thank you especially to supervisors postler and eicher that serve on the park commission and the leadership they've shown in helping manage all of these projects So that's what's new at Mendota County Park. I also wanted to touch briefly on our lake management program. That's our most active time of year for lake management. You can see we have two harvesters and an elevator behind us. Mendota County Park is one of the access points that our crews use to perform aquatic plant management throughout the chain. And so one of the things I like to emphasize is that without Dane County Parks, we wouldn't be able to provide the aquatic plant management program. We wouldn't have legacy sediment removal. We wouldn't have the Yahara River sediment removal project. All of those initiatives and programs rely on this continuous investment in public lands that so many of you have supported over the years. So thank you for that. It's been a pretty good season on the lakes. For the most part, lake levels have been within range and that's pretty unusual for many years. When we had high water, excuse me, a lot of rain, we were over the range. This year we've even been on the low side and most of the complaints that are coming to land on water are people upset that lake levels are low. And so that's been kind of a constant frustration. But as we've all learned over the years, we're very reliant on rainfall patterns. And so when we have a really dry year, the lake levels are gonna be lower. It has gotten low to the point that MG&E has had to release water into Nine Springs Creek that then feeds into Lake Wauvesa and helps maintain water levels. That is a condition of their permit because they do withdraw water from the lakes as part of their operation. Whenever lake levels reach a certain point, they actually have to pump groundwater and discharge it to help maintain the flow. We've been very active this year with our Clean Boats, Clean Waters program. We have staff that are at county launches contacting boaters to make sure they're aware of best practices to keep their boats clean. And through that program, we've reached 475 individuals and we've done 265 interviews with those folks to help make sure they have the right information. The harvesting program has been going really well. I know some of you have received some complaints and there have been some filamentous algae blooms that are difficult for our staff to address. That's not what our equipment is designed to handle. But in terms of actual plant mass, it's been pretty reasonable. harvested 1,100 loads of aquatic plants that weighed about 5,000 tons and we estimate we've removed about 3,000 pounds of phosphorus from those plants. Most of what we're harvesting this year is Eurasian watermilfoil, which is an invasive plant. And, um, and the program's been going well, we have staff out Monday through Thursday, so you can see them working and we have launched this year, a website where not only are we advertising online, which lakes the harvesters are on, but you can also see. through GPS tracking where the harvesters are at any point in time. So we've really tried to invest in the website if you're ever curious on where lake levels are, where the harvesters are operating at any given point in time, when the peer pickup program is coming to any lake, that's all maintained and kept current on our website. And the peer pickup service has also been going well. That's a service we started offering several years ago where our staff go out and collect aquatic plant material that people have placed at the end of their piers. Certain municipalities contract with us to perform that service. And so we have reached 727 piers and removed 64 barge loads of plants through that program. So that's been going well and is well received. So I think those were my main points. I'm happy to answer any questions. If you have anything that you'd like to know either about Medota County Park or the aquatic plant and lake management program.

Any questions for Laura or Jolene?

There have been a few. I wouldn't say the season's been dominated by that. A couple of years ago, it was like a frequent cycle. There were a lot of news articles. So the ones that we've heard about, by the time our staff go out to look for them, they can't find them. So they're breaking up. And that's pretty typical when you have dry conditions. We're not seeing a lot of extra phosphorus washing into the watershed. So that's been really great. One thing we have spent a lot of time on this year is trying to educate, especially lake property owners on what our program can or can't do. And so, you know, it's hard for us to address blue-green blooms. We don't have any tools for that. We also can't harvest plants within three feet of water or shallower. So a lot of the areas that people are hoping that we can cut in are explicitly the places where we're not allowed to cut. We've done a lot of outreach on educating property owners on the impact of wind and different currents and how it's pushing sediment and plants to their shoreline in a way that they don't always appreciate. So the program has really evolved and I think we're getting a good response from the community and kind of understanding that the lakes are pretty dynamic systems, not swimming pools as some people would want them to be.

I have a quick question. Is that one of our beach filtration systems?

That is one of our beach filtration systems. So Dane County piloted a pretty innovative system. We have one here at Mendota County Park and we have one also at Goodland County Park. And so this is this little pump house and there is actually a system designed to continuously pull in the water from that beach enclosure, filter it, clean it, and then release clean water back into the beach area. So it's been quite successful. There are logistical challenges that prevent us from going to all beaches with that equipment. And if you're really observant, you notice that the beach, even with the filtration system, is still closed today. And that's because it tested positive for bacterial contamination. And that's something that we struggle to maintain, even with the filtration system, When you have a lot of ducks and geese on the beach, their waste overwhelms the system and it can't keep up. So it can handle some bacterial contamination, but what it's better at is dealing with, it can deal with some algae and some of the things that are coming in from the lake, not so much the waste that's washing off from the land.

from the ducks sitting on the beach.

Yeah, you can see them there now enjoying themselves.

And any time you have mowed areas with short vegetation around a beach, which is really desirable, because the things that attract people to a beach are the same things that attract the ducks and the geese to the beach.

So I used to be a lifeguard at a city beach, and one of my duties was picking up after the geese. Does the county, do county park staff do that? And are any of those beaches lifeguarded?

We've never had lifeguards at county beaches. That would be new. I should say never. And to my knowledge, we haven't. So in the 20 plus years I've been here, we've not had lifeguards. I don't believe we've ever had, but perhaps there was a time predating my tenure where that occurred. That's generally not something that we get requests for, but we do have staff that go through and try to keep the beaches clean. So it's a combination of Jolene's park staff along with our lake management staff. And we especially focus on the staff that do the pier pickup program are the same staff that we try to have rake the beaches, clean off the vegetation. But again, even with that, it's really tough to get at the ducks and the geese.

Anyone else? Thank you, Laura. All right. On to announcements. Anybody with an announcement?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to notify everybody that we've got a event in Stoughton this weekend. It's Saturday, 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. It's a coffee break festival, and there's coffee tasting contest, and there's a car show, there's So come on down to Stoughton on Saturday and find out how the coffee break was invented right here in Dane County and in Stoughton.

I could be a contender. I'm really good at tasting coffee.

That could be fun. Another event, not this weekend, but next weekend, it's Cornfest time. So coming out to Sun Prairie, it's Cornfest time. Parade is on Wednesday the 19th. There's events, carnival, the whole deal. Corn all weekend at Angel Park in Sun Prairie. It's a great time. If you haven't been, please come visit.

All right. This weekend, on Saturday, August 15th, that's the, in Maze, Romania, on the Westland Promenade, the Gandy Dancer Bluegrass Festival. So there's events all day, festival events, like a beginner's bluegrass jam, crafts and activities, insect, bugs, and butterfly exhibits. And, you know, and... food and beer and camaraderie. So please join.

All right, as we are all inviting people to our neighborhood festivals, this weekend is Africa Fest in McPike Park in District 6. And it's a two-day festival this year. And the one thing that I think is kind of cool about Africa Fest is some years they have Guinness on tap. So if you want to have Guinness, which is like a relatively low-calorie beer, but delicious, and you want it on tap at McPike Park, please come out. I think it's all day Saturday and Sunday.

I have no reason not to.

Go ahead.

Well, if you've not had enough music by the time you've gone to the Gandy Dancer in Mesa, the next day, come out to Mount Vernon from 3 to 5 and go to an old-time fiddle jam, and there'll be serving food out there, and it's a great music weekend. I hope to see some of you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And while we're here in the city of Middleton, I'll add that in two weeks' time on the 28th, 29th, and 30th of August is Middleton's famous Good Neighbor Festival with a 5K on Saturday, a parade on Sunday, an art show throughout, little rides, sugar in all of its forms, and some good food and good neighbors. I hope to see you there.

Anyone else? All right, I have a couple. August birthdays this month supervisors Glaser and Gray celebrated their birthdays as well as Sarai so happy birthday to all of you and I also want to extend a thank you to our city channel person who came here tonight you know they weren't able to range camera crew and so forth, but otherwise we'd be without audio here, so I really appreciate it coming out last minute with last minute notice and August I'm sorry September 1 if you recall week before last we cancelled. our two budget engagement sessions. We had one scheduled at the Goodman Community Center and another at Centro Espana. We had canceled those, rescheduled the one at Centro. It is 5.30 on September 1st. It will be held in hybrid format. It will also be unique to the others in that we'll have translation services online and in person there, so the translation will happen simultaneously. What's the time on that, Chair? What's that? What's the time on that? 5.30. Okay. Correct? And if Supervisor Obisi would meet me at the other microphone, please. So you may recall at our last meeting, Supervisor Beating was reading a resolution, a special matter resolution, and got a call from his wife, who was in the hospital, in labor.

So the next morning, apparently,

Well, thank you. For those that don't know me, my name is Goodwill, like a store. And I represent the good people of District 16, which is Sun Prairie and the far east side of Madison. First, I want to say thank you all. And thank you, chair, for allowing me to run to the hospital. And then also I want to thank the supervisors that reached out to me to congratulate me. And also, so my wife and I had a bouncing baby girl. And this is our second daughter. And her name is Amarachi, which means God's blessing. And then her middle name is Precious. And just in case I doze off or not, just know I'm still trying to learn how to sleep, so.

Congratulations. Congratulations. Okay, so let's see, under announcements, are there any, or after that, disclosure, abstentions, any supervisor questions?

So I'm on the record. I will be abstaining on each 13, and that's due to my other elected role as the village president and the village dean. 13.

Okay. Okay.

Anyone else? Okay. With that, we're on to approval of payments. We have before us the bills over $10,000. Is there a motion? So moved. Moved by Supervisor Gray, it sounded like. And second by Furman. Any discussion, questions on those? All right. On the motion, all in favor of approval, say aye.

Aye.

Opposed? That motion carries. The bills are approved for payment. We're on to approval of minutes. We have before us the meeting minutes of July 16. Move by Posler, seconded by Ungeberger. Discussions, questions, corrections to meeting minutes? Hearing none, all in favor of approval, signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? That motion carries. The minutes are adopted, are approved. On to consent calendar. We have 16 items on our consent calendar this evening. Are there any requests for separation?

Nine, I'm sorry, yeah, and 11.

Okay, nine and 11. Have there been requests to be separated? Anyone else? Okay, so on the balance of items 1 through 8, 10, and then 12 through 16, let's before us our committee actions. So all in favor of those recommendations, say aye. Aye. Opposed? Those items are all adopted, so moving on to Here we are. It is 2026, Resolution 85, award of contract for demolition of the Ferris Center at 2120 Rimrock Road. What is before us is Public Works and Transportation Committee recommendation for approval.

Thank you, Chair. I'm just trying to get a little background on how I guess where this demolition and the planned demolition comes from. I know obviously the Ferris Center is on the Alliant Energy Center sort of grounds, and there's a lot of planning that has been in process related to redevelopment. It's also been a place that has been where Huber residents have been in the past, folks in the custody of the Dane County Sheriff's Office, the kind of third jail, if you will. And it's also was at one point announced as the space for a crisis triage center and now it's being demolished and I'm just trying to understand kinda where that's at in the plan and when the decision was made to, I guess, proceed in that direction. And I don't know, I think Supervisor, PW Teacher Engelberger is, A sponsor and supervisor, Erickson, may want to address the Alliant Energy Center question. I'm not sure the appropriate staff person, because there's a few different points there.

Good evening.

Can you hear me?

I'll say what I know about this, which is Dave Ripp had mentioned that the building was built with a single story, and then they added the second story. is not in the greatest condition for a number of reasons. Plumbing and there's electrical things as well. So I don't know keeping it, what it could be used for. The triage center, I'm not sure that that was something that was really thought through, but yes, that was out there. And then from the Atlanta Energy Center standpoint, in terms of the planning, as I've mentioned, and a lot of you are probably aware of this, the exhibition hall is slated to be expanded there was a concern that the sheriff was still using it up until I don't know what the date is if anyone's from the sheriff's department it was they had like two or three people there but they're not using it right now so it's basically empty right now and does it is in the way of the planning that we have so it doesn't sound like it's a building that's worth keeping it's not historical we have one nearby I won't say the name but the Mount Zion Baptist Church original sanctuary. But anyway, so I don't think there's much purpose in keeping it. I don't think it would meet current standards as a facility. It's built like a old-time prison or jail, which is what I think we're trying to get away from. So it's not great from that standpoint either. So I don't know if there, did you, Supervisor Engelberger, do you want to say

I don't have much further information on it, but it is a building that is very much in disrepair. It hasn't been used lately. And I remember a time when the water coming out of the tap was like brown. And we've got plans for the AEC. in those plans. You know, a triage center is a great idea, but maybe in the right place it would be. And I don't believe there's been anything passed regarding a triage center. I'm going to vote in favor of this, and I hope everybody else does. I think the Sheriff's Department has... basically said that we don't need the facility. And I think it's gonna be a good use to demolish the building and put some things on the campus at AEC that are going to enhance the whole county. And I think it's a good plan that the redevelopment committee has for the whole campus.

Thank you. This is maybe a question for facilities or if anybody is available. I'm just trying to get an understanding of the current condition of the building is one question. Chair, do you see anybody? Well, I'm wondering about the current condition of this facility, if it is a space that is usable. That's my first question, I guess.

Condition of the facility is pretty much as Chair Erickson and Chair Engelberger sort of described. The building has fallen in disrepair, I believe, a couple years ago. If it wasn't last year, it might have been the year before. But the Sheriff's Office had been asking for capital budget improvements. For that facility, those ultimately were not included as a part of the budget recommendations just because that facility that building was falling into disrepair and the plans were to kind of go forward with the Align Energy Center expansion for the AEC Center. And so the demolition was the thing that was going to go forward. And so the plan was to demolish that area.

Thank you for that. My, I think final question is, is approving this demolition contract tonight, time sensitive, does it press up against other planning deadlines?

Yes.

Okay. Thank you, Chair Erickson. I guess weighing heavily on my mind are our space needs. And I don't think this is an appropriate site given its history for a crisis triage center or frankly, probably an overflow shelter. But I do want folks to be aware of the fact that the county is still looking for a facility for a men's overflow shelter for this winter. And so it would be really helpful to be keeping in mind all potential spaces. It doesn't sound like this is a suitable one, but it is something that we need to figure out to protect people this winter. So I will be going along and voting in favor of this. Thank you, Mr.

Chair. chair of public works we we were always up against the state um threatening to close it and and finding us all the time on that building so it was never it was always something we you know we put a lot of band-aids on it but at some point and now it's just not useful i just wanted to ask the da agencies here

That can perhaps help. The staff that were providing the jail diversion program got moved to the city county building, so the sheriff's office staff that were performing that service out of the Ferris building have been relocated to the city county building, and those services continue, but they're out of the city county building. Thank you.

Any other questions or comments, especially on Resolution 85? The recommendation before us is a recommendation of approval from Public Works and Transportation. So all in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? And that resolution 85 is adopted. We're on to item 11, which is 2026 resolution 88, approving a lease addendum for a DA's office at Tommy G. Thompson building. It's a .

Thank you, Chair Miles. I understand it sounds like this is needed to amend BUT IT'S ALREADY BEEN BUDGETED DUE TO STATE ESSENTIALLY RATE CHANGES FOR THIS BUILDING. BUT I GUESS I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM BECAUSE THE TOTAL COST IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT IN THESE TIMES THAT THIS IS MONEY COMING FROM OUR CAPITAL BUDGET FOR MONEY ALLOCATED FOR THE renovations for the DA's office. So I know that District Attorney's here. I don't know if that's for him or the Comptroller. I just want that confirmed. Okay, Comptroller's not with us this evening.

So yes, the state voted I think in May of this year to raise their rates. They hadn't raised in a number of years. They went from 26, 24 a square foot to 2784 a square foot, which is probably a lot less than we'd get any space anywhere else. This change was a surprise to us. We learned that it took effect July 1, but it still was within our budget at this point for the funding that we've already received. We are gonna be asking for a capital of a hundred thousand dollars in this budget we do not hope to spend any of it i think we are still under budget at this point but we don't want something like this that we didn't foresee or couldn't plan for to occur that puts us over and then have to come back and reset so that's where we are we're still under budget and still on time at this point um so yes it is all capital It's the capital budget that's within the remodel project for the third floor and the fourth floor courtroom.

Okay. Anything else? Resolution 88. With that, what is before us is Public Works Transportation Committee recommendation for approval. So, all in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed, say no. All right. Resolution is adopted. That takes care of the consent calendar. So we're on to H, reports on zoning petitions. There are 15 items before us this evening. Are there any requests for separation? Okay, hearing no requests for separation, what is before us is the zoning land regulation committee recommendations. So with that, all in favor of approval of those 15 items, say aye.

Aye.

Opposed? The zoning petitions are adopted. On to I, ordinances. We have one item here, which is 2026.085, amending chapter 71 of the Dane County Code of Ordinances regarding the icebound lakes of Dane County. Is there somebody that wants to refer this? I'm kidding, I'm kidding. What is before us is Public Protection and Judiciary Committee, is that right? Yeah. Recommendation for approval. Any discussion on OE5? Okay. All right. So on the recommendation, all in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed say no. But OE5 is adopted. On to M, items requiring more than a simple majority vote. We have three items here.
