$94,000
Supervisor Ripp
Increase operating expenditures and position authority to restore the vacant Contract & Administrative Services Supervisor position in the Public Works Engineering program of the Public Works, Highway & Transportation DepartmentThe effect of this amendment is to increase operating expenditures by $94,000 and position authority by 1.0 FTE in the Public Works, Highway & Transportation Department’s Public Works Engineering division.

reduced satisfaction for our constituents, and safety concerns.

Supervisor SchmidtDecrease revenue to remove projected revenue from the sale of real estate currently owned by Solid Waste.
Increase revenue from tipping fees and reduce depreciation expenses by an amount equal to the originally budgeted revenue from the sale of real estate.
Results in no net effect on the Solid Waste budget.Decrease revenue in one account. Increase revenue and dcrease expenses in other accounts by an equal amount. Results in no net effect on the Solid Waste budget
Per Ordinance, revenue from the sale of property may not be included in the budget unless there is an accepted offer.
Tipping fee revenue increase is a result of revised projections for incoming waste tonnages in 2016. This is due to actual waste tonanges at the Dane County landfill in recent months, as well as Statewide tonnages and indusrtry projections.
Depreciation decrease is due to reduced overall capital costs for Phase 10 ‐ Cell 1 construction. This project is nearly complete, and the remaining contingency will not need to be expended Therefore, the overall project cost and its associated depreciation in 2016 is lower than previously budgeted.
$1,000 or $7,500
Supv. WegleitnerExpenditures increased by $1,000 to purchase tampons and napkins for dispensers in Dane County facilities to provide at no cost at those facilities
Machines in women’s restrooms will dispense sanitary products at no charge.

Supervisor HendrickOperating expenditures be increased by $112,312 to increase LTE worker wages at the Alliant Energy Center to a $15 living wage; and expenditures be decreased by $112,312 in utilities for the Alliant Energy Center’s Exhibition Hall and Coliseum, due to estimated savings anticipated from energy conservation measures.
The effect of this amendment is that AEC LTE workers will be paid a living wage of $15 minimum per hour
The projected net utility reductions due to 2015 SMART Fund awarded projects for energy conservation at AEC’s Exhibition Hall and Coliseum are estimated to be approx. $120,000. The projected cost to fund a $15 Living Wage for all LTE workers at AEC is $112,312.
$0
Supervisor SchmidCreation of a mattresses recycling program at the landfill site through a public private partnership. Add program expenses into the Solid Waste budget.
Increase revenue from landfill user fees. This revenue will come from a new landfill user fee of $10 per matress recycled. This is the expected fee that Dane County will have to pay a private recycler to rrecycle each mattress.
Results in no net effect on the Solid Waste budget.Increase expenses for a new mattresses program and increase revenue through user fees to offset the program costs. Results in no net effect on the Solid Waste budget.
It is estimated that the Dane County landfill receives approximately 10,000 mattresses each year. Currently, these mattresses are landfilled. The City of Madison collects another approximately 12,000 mattresses. This amendment would
create a new prgram to recycle the mattresses through a public ‐ private partnership.Recycling the mattresses into reusable products results in higher end use. Nearly every element of a mattress can be recycled, resulting in little to no material being landfilled.
The Solid Waste operation uses no GPR and is funded entirely through landfill tipping fees and user fees. Currently, customers pay to landfill mattresses based on their weight. This would change the fees to a flat $10 per mattress fee
for recycling

During the summer of 2015, the County Board led a community based effort to identify approaches to reform the Dane County criminal justice system. Three workgroups each made recommendations for change, and all agreed on one recommendation: address the severe gap in data collection and analysis at each stage of the criminal justice system as soon as possible. Likewise, the countywide equity analysis completed in September 2015 recommended the county hire a data analyst that will provide data expertise across all racial equity areas, with an initial focus on 1) collecting, analyzing and tracking community indicators and performance measures; 2) workforce equity to improve analysis of internal workforce data; and 3) criminal justice data sets to allow analysis and potential integration for systemic improvements. This amendment addresses the recommendations of these two initiatives.
PP&J-O-2 – $5,000

the reasons for such placement, the duration of time spent in solitary confinement / administrative segregation and methods of transitioning people into general population.”The amendment requires an annual report on the use of solitary confinement to the Public Protection and Judiciary Committee.
The County Board led an initiative during the summer of 2015 to explore improvements to the criminal justice system. This community based effort included three work groups, one of which focused on mental health, solitary confinement, and incarceration. Recommendation #7 of this work group was , ” …to reduce the use (frequency) and length of time (duration) solitary confinement & administrative segregation is used, while working toward a goal of eliminating its use. The county should review current policies and practices related to the use of all administrative segregation and solitary confinement and develop a performance based plan that includes establishing baseline data/measures and reduction time
lines/goals ….” This amendment addresses that recommendation.

4) Annual pollinator meeting & workshopThe effect of this amendment is to provide $7,000 in operating expenditures to implement the DCPPTF recommendations.
In 2014, over concerns about declining pollinator populations, honeybee health issues and the future of honey and crop production, the Dane County Board of Supervisors initiated the Dane County Pollinator Protection Task Force (DCPPTF or “Task Force”). Its charge was to collect information on the local status of pollinators and develop recommendations for
future pollinator protection efforts in the county. The Task Force requested that these budget items be included in the 2016 Dane County budget to begin addressing pollinator protection objectives identified in the report.

The subcommittee will consist of two members of the Dane County Food Council and up to four members of the Dane County farm or agribusiness community, all appointed by the Chair of the Environment, Agriculture, and Natural Resources Committee.”
The amendment would provide funding to up to 12 farmers of $250 per year for three years to have their operations become “certified organic”.
This amendment envisions a 3-year effort to provide incentive for farmers to conert land to organic production. The
first year would assist 12 farmers with a grant of $250 each, for a total of $3,000. The cost for the second year would
be $6,000 and the third year would be $9,000 as 12 additional farmers are added each year. Applications for the
initiative would be made to UW-Extension and a subcommittee of the Dane County Food Council would review
applications and make recommendations for awards. to the Food Council, which would allocate the funds. This
amendment specifies the make-up of the subcommittee responsible for grant application review and
recommendation, and further specifies that the Food Council allocates the $250 grants for the organic conversion
program

As the result of over a year of planning, the Gardens Network was formed and consists of three core partners: Community GroundWorks, Dane County UW Extension, and the City of Madison. Community GroundWorks provides the direct staff support for the daily operations of the gardens but currently only has funding from the City of Madison to provide these services. This program will allow them to provide services beyond Madison. Community gardens address multiple challenges including: A lack of access to safe, healthy, and culturally appropriate food; A lack of safe and available space and land for gardens; and Community members who are isolated, particularly lower-income, minority and immigrant community members

Increase day resource center operations line by $30,000An increase to the budget is needed to ensure highly trained professional staffing and a successful operations plan.
Increase day resource center operations line by $30,000 for a total of $130,000. The original $300,000 annual commitment,
$100,000 each from the County, the City and the United Way, was based on a very slim budget proposed by SHINE 608 in
2013. Bethel Lutheran Church has also requested additional funding in order to maintain day services downtown until the
comprehensive day resource center is open in October of 2016. This funding shall be used to increase the line for Bethel from $80,000 to $110,000 in 2016 and then be redirected to the operations for the permanent day resource center in 2017. An
