Earlier this year, an article in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel compared the legal evolution of the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to grow and sell marijuana to the same process by which tribes developed gambling establishments on tribal reservations.

In 1991, U.S. District Court Judge Barbara Crabb ruled that when Wisconsin legalized the sale of lottery tickets, it effectively granted tribes the ability to open gaming halls. Now, tribal leaders and their lawyers are exploring whether the legalization of medical marijuana products in Wisconsin has unintentionDOO\ RSHQHG D QHZ DQG SURĂ&#x20AC;WDEOH GRRU that would lead to another monopoly in an otherwise controlled industry. Tribal leaders were encouraged after a Department of Justice memo was released late last year instructing federal prosecutors not to prevent tribes from growing or selling pot on their reservations, even in states like Wisconsin where it is illegal.

Not all Wisconsin tribes are interested in getting into the marijuana business.

However, the St. Croix Chippewa was one of at least four tribes that attended a conference held in Washington state in February that provided some guidance on how to enter the marijuana business,

beginning with the formation of a Tribal Cannabis Association. The CBD oil is just WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW PRVW LPPHGLDWH RSSRUWXQLW\ EXW pursuing it will put the tribe in a good position to pursue other opportunities as they arise.

Even though there is, as Taylor said, much work to be done, developments are likely to happen quickly. On Friday, Aug. 21, the Menominee Tribe approved a referendum to grow marijuana for medical and/or recreational use in a nonbinding vote. The next step would be to change the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s controlled substance ordinance to pave the way toward establishing a marijuana production and distribution business on that tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reservation.

As of now, state and local prosecutors are not bound by the Department of Justiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal enforcement policy, so it is unclear whether local law enforcement will be so permissive. Citizens with questions or concerns about the local production, sale and/or use of marijuana or marijuana-based products should contact their town supervisor and their elected representatives.

Safety, energy-saving projects eyed at Luck

Project tax levy to be determined in mid-September

0DU\ 6WLUUDW _ Staff writer LUCK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thanks to an anticipated reduction in the 2015-16 school tax levy at Luck, the school board and district administration have begun planning for some needed projects. The projects under consideration, said district Administrator Chris Schultz, will improve the safety and learning environment at the school while creating a savings in energy costs that will help fund the projects.

Working with Schneider Electric, the board at its Monday, Aug. 24, meeting considered about $2 million in projects, which would have something like $700,000 in potential energy savings.

And with the lower tax levy that is being projected, the $2 million could be included in the budget while keeping the taxing mill rate below last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s level (see separate story).

Some of the items, termed â&#x20AC;&#x153;low-hanging fruitâ&#x20AC;? by Schultz, come at a relatively low cost with a high re-

Adding direct expansion cooling to the classrooms, which currently lack any type of cooling, would cost $245,000, with no energy savings.

The board will hold a special board meeting Monday, Sept. 14, to vote on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;not-to-exceedâ&#x20AC;? project scope and a resolution stating the proposed amount to be levied for projects. This levy amount will be voted upon by residents of the school district at the annual meeting Monday, Sept. 28.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feasibility studyâ&#x20AC;? aside, investor and city officials remain optimistic *UHJ 0DUVWHQ _ Staff writer ST. CROIX FALLS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A long-awaited feasibility study on the potential roadblocks or success of a 40-room boutique hotel in downtown St. Croix Falls is in the books, and while it notes the potential for success, it also sends mixed messages, raising realistic concerns about vacancy rates in the offseasons.

The report was revealed at the Monday, Aug. 24, meeting of the St. Croix Falls Community Development Authority, which is in charge of many of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decisions involving the proposed project to be built beside the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic Civic Auditorium, which would share some of the infrastructure services with the soonto-be-rehabilitated theater.

Abdo underplayed some of the report, which did not take into account several items, including the possible event center income, additional revenue from the adjacent theater crowd and special weddingtype events.

He also said it takes a couple of years for a market to stabilize, and he again noted the growing volume of unique wedding destination as a possible addition to the report, how this area is poised to become such a destination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offseasons are tough, but weddings and corporate meetings and events can ease that and can make it a busier time.

Abdo admitted there are still major decisions to be made, and said much of the viability will be based on the cost per room, and how they can make certain adjustments to assure they meet a viable cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would rather see a lower cost than higher fees,â&#x20AC;? stated Commissioner Arnie Carlson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the same page,â&#x20AC;?

New facility use policy approved at Luck

Policy makes access to school building consistent and provides accountability 0DU\ 6WLUUDW _ Staff writer LUCK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Luckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school building has always been a center for community as well as school activities, and pays host to a wide variety of groups and events.

On and off through the years the school board has discussed the fact that, while community access to the school is of paramount importance, there has been no centralized way to keep track of who all is coming in and out of the building. There has also been no formal policy that outlines which groups or uses have priority, or who hold keys to the facility.

With a new policy approved by the school board at its Monday, Aug. 24, meeting, these issues should start to be addressed. Regular users of the building will be informed of the changes being made and how to comply.

District Administrator Chris Schultz and school board members commented that a large majority of people who use the building do so in a respectful way that does not cause any problem. However, said Schultz, it is necessary to be proactive and to keep things consistent.

Approved was a Community Use of Facilities or Equipment Policy, with requires that any use of equipment or facilities, other than that related to a district activity, requires prior approval.

The policy requires individuals and

organizations wishing to use the facility or equipment to provide the activities director with a request form and proper documentation, such as proof of financial responsibility, a certificate of insurance, or /XFN 6FKRRO 'LVWULFW $G proof of 501(c)3 PLQLVWUDWRU &KULV 6FKXOW] status, at least DW WKH 0RQGD\ $XJ two weeks prior PHHWLQJ RI WKH VFKRRO to the activity.

new report from the Wisconsin Department of Revenue shows that full-market, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;equalized,â&#x20AC;? property values in Wisconsin rose 2.4 percent in 2015. However, growth varied by property type.

While total values of both commercial, $94.1 billion, and manufacturing, $13.7 billion, property grew by more than 3 percent, residential values, $344.7 billion, grew just 2.3 percent. Commercial values have outperformed residential in nine of the last 10 years. Of the remaining property types, changes were generally modest, ranging from minus 0.3 percent to 1.4 percent among agricultural and forestlands. The exception was undeveloped property, often used for recreation, the value of which grew 3.9 percent.

Luck school taxes could go down

0DU\ 6WLUUDW _ Staff writer LUCK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If preliminary numbers hold close to true, school taxes for property owners in the Luck School District will be slightly lower this year compared to last.

Monday evening, Aug. 24, District Administrator Chris Schultz and the school board reviewed projections as they now stand, with Schultz emphasizing that these numbers will most likely change at least a little.

Thanks to an increase in state aid, the total tax levy with no added projects would be about $400,000 less than last year. This would translate into a mill rate of $9.70 per $1,000 in property value, a reduction from last year of $1.35 per $1,000.

In recent months, however, the school board has been looking into projects that would address accessibility and safety concerns at the school while at the same time lowering energy costs (see separate story).

Even if the board votes to pursue energy-saving projects amounting to $2 million, said Schultz, as well as increase the community services levy by $30,000, the mill rate will still be about 75 cents less than last year per $1,000 in property YDOXH 7KLV Ă&#x20AC;JXUH ZDV EDVHG RQ D \HDU loan on the building projects, with annual payments of $145,000.

publican presidential candidate to outline a health insurance program to replace the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. It was short on many important details, but it seems to capture the approach the governor has used on other programs.

Walker would eliminate the taxes UHTXLUHG WR Ă&#x20AC;QDQFH 2EDPDFDUH DQG then use refundable income tax credits to help people obtain health insurance.

The governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan would base the tax credits on the age of people, UDWKHU WKDQ WKHLU Ă&#x20AC;QDQFLDO VLWXDWLRQ Eliminating the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;meanstestingâ&#x20AC;? approach of Obamacare would be a major shift in government policy.

Experts explain that move would pinch the working poor, probably encouraging them to get less-comprehensive health insurance. Walker repeatedly has said he favors programs under which the poor have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;little skin in the game,â&#x20AC;? arguing that reduces overall spending.

Walker would provide a tax break to middle- and upper-income people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get health insurance through their employers. Perhaps more important, at least politically, would be ending the additional personal income-tax bracket in which the wealthiest 1 percent pay to help

6WDWH &DSLWRO 1HZVOHWWHU 0DWW 3RPPHU Ă&#x20AC;QDQFH 2EDPDFDUH Financing the new income-tax credits would come from overhauling Medicaid, according to the plan.

Walker would send block grants to the 50 states, allowing them to fashion how to care for the very poor and the frail elderly who have outlived their resources.

That might solve any federal EXGJHW SUREOHPV E\ NLFNLQJ WKH Ă&#x20AC;nancial can down the road to the 50 Legislatures. It could be a challenge for states like Wisconsin, which have older-than-average populations.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, also a GOP presidential candidate, criticized Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;new entitlementâ&#x20AC;? plan. Walker declined Jindalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for a debate. Walker also declined to answer reporters questions for plan details. The devil is always in the details in new government programs.

But Walker will need to provide those details and the problems a new program might create. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be successful if the media starts calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walkercare.â&#x20AC;?

The shift away from meanstesting programs also has occurred under Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach to privately run voucher schools.

Initially, the voucher program was aimed at helping poor families in Wisconsin and was limited to Milwaukee. Walker has pushed for removal of income limits to get the voucher grants advanced into a statewide program.

Walker touted his approach to voucher schools during a campaign stop in New Hampshire. He said that his secretary of education in a Walker presidency would be someone like former Milwaukee school Superintendent Howard Fuller.

Fuller also has served in state cabinet positions under Democratic Gov. Tony Earl and Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson. But Fuller would have none of the idea of serving in a Walker cabinet in Washington. Fuller said he and Walker have fought for parental choice for poor families, but he opposed Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion to a universal program.

Fuller also said he opposed Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program of requiring photo IDs to vote and drug testing for poor people. Fuller said he supported Obamacare, Common Core testing of students and increasing the minimum wage. Walker is opposed to all three programs.

But the governor surely will Ă&#x20AC;QG KLV KHDOWK LQVXUDQFH LGHDV DUH equally controversial.

County Board hears Enbridge presentation 'DQLHOOH 'DQIRUG _ Staff writer SHELL LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the Midwest region, probably about three-quarters of the gasoline in your car right now originated as crude oil on an Enbridge pipeline system, â&#x20AC;&#x153; said Becky Haase, Enbridge community relations adviser. Haase presented information about Enbridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations in Canada and the United States to the Washburn County Board at their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have pipelines all the way from the Arctic Circle to the Gulf Coast,â&#x20AC;? said Haase. She explained that Enbridge transports crude oil through pipelines from locations where it is extracted from the HDUWK WR UHĂ&#x20AC;QHULHV +DDVH FODULĂ&#x20AC;HG WKDW Enbridge only transports different types of crude oil and that the company has no LQWHUHVW LQ LWV H[WUDFWLRQ RU UHĂ&#x20AC;QLQJ 6KH said the company also has assets in natu-

ral gas and a growing interest in renewable energy, stating Enbridge has some new wind farms in Indiana and Texas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We provide 15 percent of U.S. daily imports that travel through Superior every day,â&#x20AC;? she said. Enbridge transports more than 15 different types of petroleum products that vary from light crude oil from North Dakota to the heavier crude oil from Canada. Different types of crude oil are used as a base for many types of products we use, from fuels to plastics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As supplies have shifted from the oil sands region of Canada and North Dakota, those are in the center of the country, and so we need to make sure the VXSSO\ LV PRYLQJ XS WR WKH UHĂ&#x20AC;QHULHV Âľ Haase said, explaining why the company recently expanded their pipeline 61, which runs from Superior through a northeast part of Washburn County and RQ WR UHĂ&#x20AC;QHULHV 6KH VDLG WKDW ZKHQ /LQH

61 was constructed it was made for an increased barrels-per-day capacity and that the company didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decide to move to that capacity until recently.

The project to increase Line 61 triples the amount of crude oil through the pipeline from 400,000 bpd to 1.2 million bpd.

The expansion project was limited to pump stations on Line 61. Locally those are one in Wascott and another in Stone Lake. The project, done at the pump VWDWLRQV LQFUHDVHV WKH Ă RZ RI FUXGH RLO through the pipeline, pushing more through at a faster rate.

Including those positions at pumping stations, Enbridge has 500 employees. The SXPS VWDWLRQ SRVLWLRQV DUH Ă&#x20AC;OOHG E\ SHRple that live within 20 miles of the station, a requirement of the job. Haase explained that this not only employs local residents but also acts as a safety measure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about Enbridge without

talking about safety, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our No. 1 priority and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in everything that we do,â&#x20AC;? she said. By keeping their stations employed by people living in that geographic area the response time to the station is short, an important factor in the event of an emergency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We monitor our pipelines 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with immediate control from our control center,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The control center is located in Edmonton, Canada, where pressure changes in the pipeline can be detected and would start an emergency response protocol, resulting in that area of pipeline being remotely isolated within 10 minutes.

They would then send out local crews to investigate the alarm. The company also conducts regular internal inspections, does outreach and offers free training in pipeline emergencies to local emergency response teams.

sisâ&#x20AC;? is a song from Bob Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1975 album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Desire.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a narrative about marriage, about leaving your loved one for an adventure and hoping sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take you back when you return. Nothing real deep here, but I love Scarlet Riveraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ă&#x20AC;GGOH SOD\LQJ RQ WKH WUDFN DQG WKH VRQJ has stayed with me all these years. Less well known perhaps, Isis was also an Egyptian goddess who married her brother and conceived a child with him. She went on to have a career as a magical healer who could bring back the dead, and is still revered by pagans today.

Of course, Isis, or ISIS, the Islamic State in Syria, has taken on a whole new meaning these past few years as a group whose murderous, misogynist ways have become wellknown to the world. Emblematic of our failures in Iraq and the Mideast in general, it seems that ISIS may well bedevil those who wish to be our next president. Most of the candidates have issued statements on how they would deal with ISIS, though few have presented well-thought-out policies that might actually make a positive difference in that troubled part of the world.

6FRWW :DONHU PD\ KDYH EHHQ WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW candidate to be ensnared by the temptation to talk tough on ISIS. Asked about how he would deal with the terrorist group at a gathering of conservatives, Walker responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the globe.â&#x20AC;?

Though he was pilloried for his remarks by those of all stripes - the conservative National Review called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;an awful answerâ&#x20AC;? to the question - I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily believe he was equating the protesters with ISIS. But Walker was guilty of an excess of swagger as he went on to say he would do â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatever it takesâ&#x20AC;? to eliminate the group. That kind of tough-guy talk usually is forgotten once the candidate becomes commander in chief and has to deal with the complexities of addressing problems that have no quick

7KH YLHZ IURP KHUH :[L]L 7LHYZVU and easy solutions.

The clown prince of the Republican candidates, Donald Trump, has been all over the map in his remarks about ISIS. Early on, he got into some hot water with conservatives by suggesting that Iraqis were better off under Saddam Hussein than they are in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s violence-plagued Iraq. Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealth, however, gives him the luxury of saying whatever comes to mind at any parWLFXODU PRPHQW ² QR QHHG IRU D Ă&#x20AC;OWHU ZKHQ you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to court donors. When he was asked a question recently about how he would deal with the popeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antipathy toward capitalism, he spouted off in his inimitable way, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say (to the Pope), â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ISIS wants to get you. You know that ISIS wants to go in and take over the Vatican? You have heard that. You know, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dream of theirs, to go into Italy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153; Then, as if to outdo himself, the Republican front-runner told Fox News that he would â&#x20AC;&#x153;bomb the h***â&#x20AC;? out of the Islamic State (ISIS) if he was elected to the White House, following that with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I say that you can defeat ISIS by taking their wealth.

Once you go over and take back that oil, they have nothing. You bomb the h*** out of them, and then you encircle it, and then you go in. And you let Mobil go in, and you let our great oil companies go in.

Once you take that oil, they have nothing left.â&#x20AC;? Presumably, the oil company execs would somehow be embedded with U.S. troops as they prepared to drain Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil reserves. He was asked the same question again the following Sunday on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meet the Press,â&#x20AC;? the interviewer noting that Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RLO Ă&#x20AC;HOG ODVVR ZRXOG UHTXLUH JURXQG WURRSV â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK,â&#x20AC;?

ZKLOH RIIHULQJ QR FOHDU VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;FV RQ KRZ WKDW strong language would translate into policy.

Jeb Bush, polling third these days among likely Republican primary voters, recently laid out his strategy to deal with ISIS, but not before making the charge that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are somehow responsible for the heartbreak that is Iraq today, conveniently ignoring his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to invade in 2003 and his negotiated withdrawal carried out in 2011 by Obama.

The same cannot be said for her chief rival on the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders. He makes no bones about his unwillingness to engage U.S. combat troops in the Ă&#x20AC;JKW ZLWK ,6,6 6DQGHUV ZKR YRWHG DJDLQVW the 2003 invasion of Iraq, said earlier this year that Muslim countries should send their own ground troops to take on ISIS, a position echoed by Rand Paul on the Republican side, despite polls that show as many as 72 percent of Americans supporting the use of U.S. ground troops. Sanders has consistently refused to give in to the temptation to advocate for military might to combat perceived threats and has seemed to suggest that Americanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fears of ISIS are overblown, all the while being one of the biggest supporters of combat veterans in the Senate.

Campaigns are built on hyperbole and false promises, and this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop of candidates is rife with both. Few have considered the implications of their knee-jerk recommendations. As Colin Powell warned regarding Iraq in his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pottery Barnâ&#x20AC;? reference back in 2004, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you break it, you own it.â&#x20AC;? Whether or not you accept that level of responsibility, there is no denying that we as a nation are in part culpable for the problems in Iraq and Syria today.

Had we exercised better judgment back in 2003, Isis would still be known only as that song by Bob Dylan. As it is, in this political season, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re once again hearing the clarion call for more troops and further military intervention in the Mideast by those who would send others into harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way at no cost to themselves.

Angels Island Playground dedicated MILLTOWN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The grand-opening ceremony for Angels Island Playground in Milltown Saturday, Aug. 23, was an emotional day for many people, with tears of pain, gratitude and release all evident.

The playground, built over the last year and a half next to the community center, honors the memory of three cousins killed in a car accident in December 2013.

The community, along with organizations, businesses and individuals from around the region, raised funds and donated time and materials to honor Lydia Milberg, 11, and Laynie Amos and Clara Pavek, both 5.

Organizers of the grand-opening event said they wished that there were no reason to build the park because of the pain the family has been through. However, they said, the park gave family members something to focus on and look forward to while drawing the community closer together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a park built by the community,â&#x20AC;? they said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A part of us wishes we never had to build it,â&#x20AC;? said Sarah Brenizer of the park planning committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change what happened in December of 2013. The other part of us is honored to be even considered a part of this project.â&#x20AC;?

The project started with one Facebook post, she said. The graduating classes of the three sisters who each lost a daughter, along with funding from W.I.N.G.S., made the gazebo possible. Flowers, shrubs and trees were planted and hung by volunteers. Play equipment came from Iowa and Minnesota, and a Tennessee man Ă HZ LQ WR EXLOG WKH SLUDWH VKLS â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every space at Angels Island is different, built by a community who knows what to love and honor is all about,â&#x20AC;? said Jenny Martin of the planning committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today we are here to love and honor Lydia, Laynie and Clara, who will forever lie in our hearts, and who will never, ever be forgotten as they hover over this playground reminding us we will never be apart.â&#x20AC;?

Speaking on behalf of the family was Claraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Kati Milberg Pavek. She said that the family has always known they come from a special community that is different from others, but the creation of Angels Island makes that even more apparent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This park is to honor our angels,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and bring a happy place to the community, where others can come and share memories of their lost ones. Families can gather and create memories, and new friendships will build, and old friendships will strengthen.â&#x20AC;?

She said she knew the three Angels were playing right alongside the other children that day, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank youâ&#x20AC;? for what was done in their honor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so humbled and honored and beyond grateful for what everyone has done,â&#x20AC;? said Pavek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This park has brought life and meaning back into our lives.

The Pirates are transitioning from a heavy graduation loss and looking for players to step up in both the running and the fast-paced passing offense that they have been running.

With the Chenal brothers, sophomore John and freshman Leo, the Pirates just got much better on both sides of the ball. â&#x20AC;?John and Leo are great additions to our team.

The Cardinals would be able to get within four points to start the fourth quarter thanks to a Hamack touchdown but the Panthers continued to remain a step ahead of Luck. The Panthers had a big stop defensively with 8:42 to play in the game, taking over on downs near midfield, and moments later, Larson

RESOLUTION TO REPEAL STATUTORY PROVISIONS ENACTED IN THE STATE OF WISCONSIN 2015-2017 BUDGET CONCERNING SHORELAND ZONING STANDARDS (SECTIONS 1922AM-1922L OF 2015 WISCONSIN ACT 55) TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF POLK, WISCONSIN: Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS, the State of Wisconsin has adopted NR 115 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code relating to Shoreland Zoning Standards, and Polk County has adopted and administered the minimum requirements of said standards since 1968; and WHEREAS, Polk Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water resources include both Outstanding and Impaired ratings and existing regulations are in place to protect the Outstanding Resources and restore the impaired resources; and WHEREAS, Polk Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Land Information Department and the Polk County Land and Water Resource Department, along with other county and state agencies, are charged with administering and enforcing State and County regulations to protect water resources and to educate the public in best management practices, storm water and erosion control, land conservation, shoreland and wetland zoning, and long-range planning; and WHEREAS, when acting on the 2015-17 State Biennial Budget, enacted as 2015 Wisconsin Act 55, the Wisconsin Legislature adopted into law Paragraph 23 of Motion Number 520 of the Joint Finance Committee, resulting in significant changes of the standards for regulation of existing nonconforming structures in Shoreland areas, contrary to the adopted standards of NR 115; and WHEREAS, Polk County has a substantial number of nonconforming structures existing in its Shoreland areas that no longer will be subject to any oversight which will cause development near County waterways to go completely unchecked relative to its compliance with other state and county regulations, such as sanitary zoning, storm-water/erosion control, and floodplain/wetland standards; and WHEREAS, with no oversight, property owners that rebuild or remodel nonconforming structures in Shoreland areas may unknowingly be in violation with the aforementioned state and county regulations causing after-the-fact enforcement by the County and therefore potentially placing a significant burden (financial, development delays, etc.) on shoreland property owners to come into compliance; and WHEREAS, with no oversight, neighboring property owners and thegeneral public may be negatively impacted, specifically as it relates to property values, erosion & runoff from the site, substandard sanitary impacts, increased flooding issues, and overall enjoyment of the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterways; and WHEREAS, the statutory provisions resulting from Paragraph 23 of Motion Number 520 also removes the ability of the DNR to appeal any action of a County Board of Adjustment decision which diminishes state support for the shoreland program and its goals of protecting the waterways of the state; and WHEREAS, State organizations including the Wisconsin Counties Association, Wisconsin County Code Administrators, Wisconsin Land and Water Con-

Thank You

A very much belated thank-you! For all the greetings, the phone calls and cards for my birthday in June. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;yard partyâ&#x20AC;? by my family with many friends, family to share a cup of coffee and cake.

And the Lord blessed us with a beautiful day.

So again, many thanks.

I am blessed for the 90 years of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Life.â&#x20AC;?
