J ennifer,
I have a 2:45 meeting at Coggs today. I will likely leave straight from there and I
have my closing tomorrow so I'm off. However, I will be available by cell-phone.
Somehow, I've misplaced my blackberry (hopefully it is at home) but you can reach
me on my personal cell: 414 350 6585.

Cynthia,
Per your request, attached are the dollar amounts that a 15% employee
contribution would yield. These are based on our 2010 premium equivalent
rates. This would be across the board and did not make changes based on the
already settled RN labor agreement.
If you have any questions, please let Matt or I know.

Good Afternoon All,
Well, tomorrow is my last day with the gang at DAS-Fiscal. Thank you for the
appreciation card I received today. And thank you all for making my time here
meaningful and substantive.
I have been able to learn a great deal from each and every one of you in the
world of local government finance. Despite the time limitations most of you
faced, I was never turned away, even with my excessive questioning (sorry
J ohn).
As for now I will focus most of my attention on successfully completing my
second and last year of UWM's MPA program. I will still be searching for part-
time employment, so therefore, if any one has any leads, feel free to contact
me.
Sometime over the next two weeks we will meet up after work hours for drinks.
To be determined. Stay tuned!!!
If you need to contact me for any reason, I can be reached at (347) 233-8227
and at damiank.albert@gmail.com.
Signing off,
Damian Albert----- Forwarded by J ournaling Mail/IMSD/Milwaukee County on 12/01/2010 03:12 PM ---

Subject: Re: 2010 Recommended Budget Highlights
I'm assuming that you want a spreadsheet of the reduction in full-time
equivalents (FTE's) by department. We can get that to you by 1:00.
I have to make an important distinction. The table in the budget highlights
states there is a reduction of 393 FTE's. This is different than the number of
employees or the number of positions. Using FTE's is the most accurate way to
indicate the size and cost of the County's labor force, but the numbers for
positions and employees are slightly different. I recommend that you use the
393 number but refer to it as FTE's and not employees.
The 2010 budget assumes either 12 furlough days or 21 35 hour work weeks
for all County employees, except sheriff's deputies, correctional officers and
patient care under the Sheriff.
Thanks.

I suspect we will get questions on the detail of the wage and benefit package in the CEX
budget. Specifically, how much each item saves. We just gave the total savings in the
budget since we felt the details of savings for each component should be disucssed in closed
session since we are embarking on concession bargaining. Do you agree? And if so, I will
tell the press that the details are a subject of bargaining and will be disucussed in closed
session.

Also, should I alert Cady and Finance Chair of this position?

Cindy,
I felt it was important to make sure that the final details were taken care of this
morning. Last year you had asked me to personally make sure that the
budgets were not delivered too early, so they were not being brought in to the
room by Board staff during the speech. I assumed that you would want me to
do the same this year.
I did stop in to the Board room during the speech. However there were a
number of citizens in the hallway who apparently couldn't get in to the room
and I thought it was more important that any available space be left for them.

Each of your budgets include proposals to privatize services or functions. We are required to
provide certain notifications to unions now that the board will contemplate these proposals.
To expedite this process and to ensure consistency, I have asked Barb to schedule a meeting
for tomorrow to review the requirements, provide a template notification letter and get
guidance from Greg Gracz on what is and what is not required. I have also asked Greg to
attend meetings you will be having with labor leadership on this topic once those are
scheduled. If you cannot attend tomorrow, I request that you send a representative.

RE: Wage and Benefits for County Employees
This week I will be submitting my recommendations for the 2010 County Budget. As has
been widely reported, the County is facing significant fiscal challenges this year, next year
and for the foreseeable future if we fail to address the factors contributing to our structural
problems.
The 2010 budget process began with a projected gap of $90 million. Some of the primary
factors creating this gap are projected wage and benefit increases. In 2010 alone, employee
health care costs are projected to increase by more than $10 million; pension cost are
projected to increase in excess of $25 million. A report issued last week by the Financial
Forecasting work group that included DAS staff, County Board staff, a representative of the
Public Policy Forum and others indicates that the County will face a structural deficit of
almost $153 million by 2014 if the County fails to adopt sustainable structural changes that
address the factors driving our budget pressures. As noted in the report, without substantial
reform, fringe benefit costs alone will account for 20% of total county expenditures by
2014.
It is clear that structural reform is required to ensure the solvency of Milwaukee County. It is
also clear that meaningful reform must include an exhaustive review of all components of
Milwaukee Countys wage and benefit structure. In recognition of the rapid escalation in
employee benefit costs and the impact these cost have on our ability to provide services to
the citizens we represent, the County Board recently passed, and I signed, a resolution to
create a work group to examine the current employee/retiree benefit structure and develop
recommendations on methods and strategies to control these costs.
While I support this effort and understand that deliberate study is required when analyzing
certain types of potential benefit changes, I believe we can do more. We can take immediate
action now to curtail some aspects of our benefit costs. Further, I do not believe we should
limit reform to employee/retiree benefits. Meaningful reform must include changes to the
entire wage structure as well.
The 2010 Budget I will be submitting this week will include a number of policy
recommendations related to wage and benefit reform. I am request your careful
consideration of these initiatives for inclusion in the Countys collective bargaining process.

The budget gap faced by Milwaukee County for 2009 and the gap we faced in putting
together the 2010 budget are firm reminders that we cannot afford to maintain the current
wage and benefit levels for county employees. With this in mind, I believe there are
improvements that should be pursued now related to wages, employee contributions for
health care and pension cost and overtime provisions that exceed what is required by federal
law. Embracing these changes will insure the financial stability of Milwaukee County far
into the future.

[attachment "Address.doc" deleted by Cynthia Archer/DOA/Milwaukee County]
Chairman Holloway, members of the County Board,
Constitutional Officers, fellow citizens of Milwaukee
County, it is my honor to present our 2010 county budget.
Seven years ago, Milwaukee County was on the precipice
of financial and organizational meltdown. Since then,
despite constant challenges and formidable opposition,
we have had our share of successes in county
government.
Since taking office, we lowered the county debt by 10%
and reduced the taxpayer-funded workforce by more
than 20%. While Milwaukee Countys bond rating had a
negative outlook in 2002, Standard & Poor's recently
ranked the county financial practices as strong, and
Moodys attributed the improvement to strong
management and prudent budgetary controls.
How did we control government spending?
We told department heads how much money they would
have and asked them to prioritize spending based on
available revenue. Together, we crafted seven straight
budgets with no increase in the property tax levy from the
previous year. In 2008, when other state and local
governments faced massive budget shortfalls, Milwaukee
County finished the year with slight budget surplus.
And we did it without sacrificing quality.
The Milwaukee County Parks Department is a top finalist for
the prestigious 2009 National Gold Medal for Excellence
as the best park system in the country.
A recent state audit concluded that when compared to its
peers, the Milwaukee County Transit System consistently
delivers more rides for less cost, has the lowest per
passenger cost and the highest ridership per capita.
There are those who say we must either significantly raise
taxes to fund our priorities or impose massive cuts in
government service. But our choices arent limited to
raising taxes or cutting services. Greater innovation will
allow us to maintain essential government services without
sacrificing community assets that enhance our quality of
life.
General Mitchell International Airport is another award-
winning county asset. In 2008, Mitchell International served
a record 7.95 million passengers and received the
Transportation Safety Administrations Partnership Award.
Since 2002, we have invested $199 million dollars in airport
renovations and improvements without increasing the
property tax levy.
Now, looking forward, our budget has five major
objectives:
1. To make it more affordable for families to live and work
in Milwaukee County.
2. To create a better environment to retain and attract
new jobs.
3. To maintain a high quality of life for Milwaukee County
residents
4. To provide a balance between public and private
sector benefits
5. To enact major budget reforms to protect taxpayers
and ensure the long-term viability of county assets and
services.
__________________________________________________________
1. Afford to Live and Work in Milwaukee County
There has never been a more important time to commit to
the principles of limited government and fiscal
responsibility.
Our economy has been the subject of numerous
commentaries and reports. Without exception, the authors
agree that we need fundamental change to put our
economy back on track---
And the first order of business is to change the way
government does business.
We must be certain that what we do helps employers
maintain and grow jobs, rather than making it more
expensive for employers and families to make ends meet.
That is what weve done for seven years, and it is what we
will do again next year.
We know that it wont be easy. Since the beginning, weve
been engaged in perpetual battle with those who are
determined to maintain a status quo that Milwaukee
County families and employers can no longer afford.
And more families are struggling today than at any point in
recent history.
Today, I am joined by J ohn and Sue Smith. Like so many
families in our community, the Smiths work hard to pay the
bills, take care of their kids and prepare for the future.
They are concerned about the economy and about rising
costs.
And their concern is not without reason. This spring, the
state unemployment rate reached a 27-year high of more
than 9%, and that kept l foreclosure rates above 20%.
So today, for the eighth year in a row, I am presenting a
county budget that does not raise the property tax levy
from the previous year.
In addition to holding property taxpayers harmless, we will
not raise the sales tax or implement a wheel tax to fund
county government, as these taxes place an added
burden on struggling families and employers just as surely
as increases in the property tax and income tax do.
__________________________________________________________
2. Attract and retain jobs
Milwaukee County is blessed by the beauty of our great
lake and our pristine parks and trails. Our natural resources
combined with the ingenuity and strong work ethic of our
people, have made Milwaukee County --- and the state
of Wisconsin --- a great place to live, work, raise a family
and to retire in.
Our companies are recognized as world leaders in
everything from manufacturing motorcycles, to brewing
beer. Our people are famous for their midwestern work
ethic.
But too often we hear businesses say that government is
getting in the way, making it harder for employers of all
sizes to maintain and grow jobs right here.
Our 2010 budget includes an aggressive plan to retain and
attract jobs in Milwaukee County.

Milwaukee County Works, in the Executive Office of
Business Development, will partner with existing employers
and new businesses to foster economic development and
job growth.
In an effort to jumpstart our local economy, we will
accelerate the county building program, beginning $120
million in new projects by the end of 2010.
The plan includes; $50 million to rebuild highways bridges
and roads. Close to $20 million for new trucks, highway
maintenance vehicles and county fleet cars and vans,
and over $38 million for park improvements.
Richard Bub, the CEO of Graef is here today. His firm did
the engineering work on the David F. Schultz Aquatic
Center we opened this summer.
Some XX jobs were connected to that one job.
Accelerating three years worth of construction work into
the next 16 months will help folks like J ohn put more
people to work within Milwaukee County.
In fact, over 1,000 jobs will be created in order to complete
the more than 100 projects funded for 2010 in our
accelerated plan. In addition, we will save up to $3
million in interest expenses by utilizing the Build America
and Recovery zone bonding programs.
Recovery Zone Facility bonds are another tool to spur new
developments within Milwaukee County and to that end,
we set aside $18 million in these low interest rate bonds.
And we designate the entire county as a recovery
development zone.
Our investment in transit includes maintaining existing
routes and adding 125 new green and clean buses to the
fleet. To get people to and from work, the plan includes a
new Bus Rapid Transit line from the county grounds
through downtown Milwaukee to the UWM campus.
Last but not least, the plan includes major investment to
improve and expand capacity at General Mitchell
International Airport.
These are all important steps on the ladder of economic
recovery, but they are not enough. Our state leaders
must be part of the solution.
Today I am calling on the Governor and state lawmakers
to help us get Wisconsins economic engine humming
again, by adopting bold and immediate steps to improve
the states economic climate , and to reverse the
damage caused by years of deficit spending, and
excessive borrowing and taxation.
Governor Doyle and the members of the Legislature
should move to immediately repeal the job killing
Combined Reporting tax which was signed into law earlier
this year.
In February proponents of the Combined Reporting tax on
Wisconsin businesses told us it would not have a negative
impact on our employers.

If only their predictions were true. Unfortunately,
Combined
Reporting cost Milwaukee Countys own Harley Davidson
Motor Company $22.5 million in higher taxes and
contributed to a major decline in profits. This loss forced
Harley Davidson to lay off more than 400 workers.
Now is not the time to experiment with new taxes or to
take no action hoping the current trend will simply reverse
itself. Manufacturing jobs have been the mainstay of our
state and local economy for decades and we must do
everything in our power to keep and grow good paying
manufacturing jobs here.
3. Maintain Quality of Life
Our budget helps maintain the quality of life for Milwaukee
County residents.
It starts with our budget priorities to keep public safety
funding intact while fully funding - and in some cases
expanding funding - for safety net programs for low-
income families, children, veterans, and people with
disablities.
Significant capital improvements for the Sheriffs office are
included in our budget and I am honored to be joined by
Sheriff David Clarke, J r. here today. And our county- wide
Emergency Medical System is maintained with more
revenue available to local units of government.
In addition to maintaining safety net services for people
with disabilities, older adults and veterans, our plan
provides $4.8 million for the expansion of Family Care to
include people with developmental and physical
disabilities.
People like J ohn Smith are already signing up for the new
Family Care program. J ohn and his family are here
today.
And we are investing in our parks and recreation facilities
too.
Our budget includes three times as much for park
maintenance as in 2009 and more than $38 million for
capital projects including new bathroom facilities,
playground equipment and parkway improvements.
The budget also leverages a private donation to begin
work on a major aquatic center at Hoyt Park. For years,
Denise Lindberg and a wonderful group of volunteers have
raised funds through the Friends of Hoyt Park and Pool.
Their hard work caught the attention of XXX and XXX XXXX
who made an incredible donation. Others like Don and
Mary J o Layden helped lead the cause to raise the rest of
the funds. And I know that Supervisors Schmitt and DeBruin
know just how much work went into this project. This
budget invests the funds needed to break ground.
Plans for a fourth aquatics center in the southeast region of
the county are also underway. Once completed, we will
have a major aquatic center in every region of the
county. National research shows us that aquatic centers
and splash pads are what kids and families want and we
are ready to make a big splash.
Several deep well pools with declining clientele will be
replaced with more popular splash pads. We expect
these transitions to be as successful and as cost effective
as the other splash pads in the system - like Gordon Park.
And one of the most exciting initiatives in our plan is
funding for the creation of a non-profit organization to run
the Milwaukee County Zoo. Specifically the budget
creates a planning group to prepare the legal framework
for such a transition by October of 2011.
This new organization will combine the continued financial
investment and skill of the county, with the Zoological
Societys expertise in education and conservation.
Some may wonder why we need to improve the Zoo as it is
one of the best in the world today. The answer is simple:
we want it to remain a world-class zoo.
I want to thank Karen Peck Katz and the members of the
Milwaukee Zoological Society who are so committed to
the future success of the Zoo. They are very clear that
they want to work with the County Board and with our
administration to insure a great Zoo for generations to
come.
__________________________________________________________
4. Create Balance between Public and Private Sector
Benefits
Probably the most critical part of this budget addresses the
need to create a balance between the benefits received
by public and private sector employees.
Today, over 48% of the county budget goes to fund wages
and benefits for county employees, --- and the cost of
benefits is growing at an alarming rate. Neither the
problem nor the proposed solutions are unique to
Milwaukee County.
Earlier this year, employees in Racine County agreed to a
wage freeze to avoid layoffs.
Last week, Manitowoc County Executive Bob Ziegelbauer
said he envisioned the need to lay off workers in every
area of county government after public employee
representatives rejected proposed wage and benefit
cuts.
With so many private sector workers in the county seeing
their wages and benefits frozen or cut to preserve jobs, it is
hard not to expect the same from those in government.
A survey just conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation
shows that the cost of providing health benefits for a family
now averages $13,375 per year, with employees paying
$3,515 and employers $9,860.
In contrast, the lowest priced option for family coverage at
the county costs $17,481 with county employees paying
$840 and the county government paying $16,641. In other
words, the average citizen pays $3,500 for his or her own
family plan and then pays taxes to cover more than
$16,000 for each county employee.
There has to be a balance between the public and private
sector benefits.
And while we have taken actions in the past to help
control costs, we must negotiate additional concessions
to help balance the escalating cost of public employee
benefits for taxpayers, now and in the future.
Without further action, Milwaukee County will become
insolvent.
And raising taxes on families and employers already
struggling to make ends meet is simply not an option I am
willing to consider.
__________________________________________________________
5. Enact Major Budget Reforms
Developing the budget for Milwaukee County is never an
easy task given the financial devastation caused by the
county pension deal of 2001. And even though the
county received a $45 million settlement from the
consulting firm that helped to design the disastrous
pension plan, taxpayers are still on the hook for this plan
for years to come.
Under no circumstances will we consider grabbing all of
the funds from the pension lawsuit settlement to balance
the upcoming budget or to otherwise fuel spending.
These monies must be used to protect taxpayers by
covering the long term unfunded liabilities associated with
the 2001 pension deal.
And we have included several significant budget reforms
aimed at improving the countys fiscal stability in the
future.
First, the proceeds from all county land sales will be used to
fund a limited number of one -time projects to pay down
the county debt.
Second, revenue projections from the use of county parks
are adjusted to more realistic levels.
Third, the budget lowers county sales tax projections to
reflect current economic trends.
Fourth, the budget expands the use of public-private
partnerships to leverage private sector funds for capital
improvements in the parks, the zoo and other cultural
institutions. Using tax dollars to leverage private
investments, these partnerships help improve the quality of
life for Milwaukee County residents while maximizing
taxpayer resources.
Each of these, along with the proposed reforms in wage
and benefit packages, will help the county to be financial
sustainable into the future.
These reforms address many of the major concerns raised
by the Public Policy Forum review of county finances
earlier this year. I want to thank Rob Henken for his hard
work and that project and for all of the work he and his
team do to support our community.
__________________________________________________________
Conclusion
Finally, let me remind you that the objectives of our
budget are simple:
1. Make it affordable to live and work in our county.
2. Create an environment to retain and attract jobs.
3. Maintain a high quality of life for our citizens.
4. Provide a balance between public and private
sector benefits.
5. Reform the budget process to insure that the county
is financially viable into the future.
Our budget balances the importance of maintaining vital
human services and investing in our future, with the need
to control the growth of government spending to reflect
the taxpayers ability to pay.
I look forward to working with each of you to make our
county stronger and more vibrant --- and an even better
place to live, work, raise a family and (ultimately) retire in.

What we found:
In J une, 2009, Ms. Gilliam had tried to update her filing status in the self service module
of our payroll system. The update did not carryover to the payroll database.
The email Supervisor Coggs forwarded to you from Ms. Gilliam was the first Central
Payroll had become aware of the problem.
Actions taken:
Central Payroll has updated Ms. Gilliam's filing status and her next paycheck will reflect
these changes.
Central Payroll is investigating the reason why the updates did not carryover into the
payroll system to prevent this from happening in the future.
I left a message on Ms. Gilliam's home phone and sent an email to her to let her know
that her filing status has been updated and her next payroll check will be correct. I also
let her know to contact our Payroll Manager, Sue Drummond, directly if something
similar should happen in the future. I apologized for any inconvenience this may have
caused.
I talked with the Payroll Supervisor for BHD, Yvonne Makowski. I let her know that, in
the future, when employees have concerns regarding their paychecks that aren't getting
resolved to contact our Payroll Manager, Sue Drummond, directly for assistance.
If you have any other questions regarding this issue, please let me know.

One additional clarification. The budget does include $34 in capital projects for the
Parks Department. It also includes $4 million for parkways improvements budgeted
in DTPW. In the budget highlights we add the parkways to Parks and state that the
budget includes $38 million in parks improvements. To be consistent, we should
probably do the same here.

Is this information all correct?
Retain and attract jobs in Milwaukee County
County Executive Walkers 2010 county budget includes an aggressive plan
to retain and attract jobs in Milwaukee County. Milwaukee County
Works (County Executives Office of Business Development) will work with
existing and new businesses on ways to retain and create more jobs.
The plan also accelerates the county building program to begin $120 million
worth of projects by the end of 2010. These projects will rebuild the county
and include nearly $50 million for highways, bridges and roads; nearly $20
million for a new fleet initiative and over $34 million in parks improvements.
Recovery Zone Facility bonds are another tool outlined in the jobs plan that
will assist new developments within Milwaukee County.
To get people to and from work, the plan includes a new Bus Rapid Transit
line, maintains all existing bus routes and includes the funding for 125 new,
green and clean buses. The plan also includes major investments to
increase growth and improvements at General Mitchell International Airport.

Cindy,
At my direction and as we did last year, J ohn and the analysts are developing an
estimate of the number of employee lay offs that would result if the recommended
budget were implemented as is. As part of this research Toni called the Register of
Deeds to find out how many of the positions being eliminated as part of outsourcing
initiative are currently filled. When she asked the question she used the term
"abolished" instead of unfunded. The Register of Deeds expressed his concerns
about positions being abolished instead of unfunded. Toni sent me the e-mail
below.
During the budget briefings we recommended these positions be unfunded and
during his budget meeting with the CEX the Register of Deeds asked that they be
unfunded instead of abolished. According to my notes the CEX agreed that the
positions should be unfunded.
We will be sending down a memo with technical corrections to the budget before
the budget hearings start. I recommend that we change these positions from
abolished to unfunded as part of the technical corrections memo to be consistent
with the decision the CEX made during budget briefings.
Thanks.

Hi Steve,
J ust want to give you a heads up that the Register of Deeds will be contacting you
about his concern with unfunding the positions associated with their outsourcing
initiative as opposed to"abolishing" them. Cindy, mentioned in her edits to this
narrative that we should abolish all positions associated with outsourcing.
However, the ROD has expressed his concern that if their outsourcing initiative does
not work, it would be easier to hire for these positions if they are unfunded instead
of abolished, but they are listed as "abolished" in the narrative. I'm not sure how
to address this issue. Thanks!

DRAFT

To: Members of Personnel Committee

This week I will be submitting my recommendations for the 2010 County Budget. As
has been widely reported, the County is facing significant fiscal challenges this year, next
year and for the foreseeable future if we fail to address the factors contributing to our
structural problems.

The 2010 budget process began with a projected gap of $90 million. The primary factors
creating this gap were projected wage and benefit increases. In 2010 alone, employee
projected to increase in excess of $25 million. A report issued last week by the Financial
Forecasting workgroup that included DAS staff, County Board staff, a representative of
the Public Policy Forum and others indicates that the County will face a structural deficit
of almost $153 million by 2014 if the County fails to adopt sustainable structural
changes that address the factors driving our budget pressures. As noted in the report,
without substantial reform, fringe benefit costs alone will account for 20% of total county
expenditures by 2014.

It is clear that structural reform is required to ensure the solvency of Milwaukee County.
It is also clear that meaningful reform must include an exhaustive review of all
components of Milwaukee Countys wage and benefit structure. In recognition of the
rapid escalation in employee benefit costs and the impact these cost have on our ability to
provide services to the citizens we represent, the County Board recently passed, and I
signed, a resolution to create a workgroup to examine the current employee/retiree
benefit structure and develop recommendations on methods and strategies to control
these costs. While I supported this effort and understand that deliberate study is required
when analyzing certain types of potential benefit changes, I believe we can do more. We
can take immediate action now to curtail some aspects of our benefit costs. Further, I do
not believe we should limit reform to employee/retiree benefits. Meaningful reform must
include changes to the entire wage structure as well.

The 2010 Budget I will be submitting this week will include a number of policy
recommendations related to wage and benefit reform. As members of the Committee on
Personnel, I am requesting your careful consideration of these initiatives for inclusion in
the Countys collective bargaining process. I have refrained from making
recommendations that should most appropriately be studied by the employee benefit
workgroup, however, I believe there are improvements that should be pursued now
related to wages, employee contributions for health care and pension cost and overtime
provisions that exceed what is required by federal law.

NEED CLOSING PARAGRAPH DOES HE WANT TO COMMENT ON CURRENT
CONTRACTS

Constitutional Officers and most importantly fellow
citizens of Milwaukee County, it is my honor to present
our 2010 county budget.

Seven years ago, Milwaukee County was on the
precipice of financial and organizational meltdown.
Since then, despite constant challenges and
formidable opposition, we have had our share of
successes in county government.

Since taking office, we lowered the county debt by
10% and reduced the taxpayer-funded workforce by
more than 20%. While Milwaukee Countys bond rating
had a negative outlook in 2002, Standard & Poor's
recently ranked the county financial practices as
strong, and Moodys attributed the improvement to
strong management and prudent budgetary
controls.


We told department heads how much money they
would have and asked them to prioritize spending
based on available revenue. Together, we crafted
seven straight budgets with no increase in the property
tax levy from the previous year. In 2008, when other
state and local governments faced massive budget
shortfalls, Milwaukee County finished the year with slight
budget surplus.


The Milwaukee County Parks Department is a top finalist
for the prestigious 2009 National Gold Medal for
Excellence as the best park system in the country.

A recent state audit concluded that when compared
to its peers, the Milwaukee County Transit System
consistently delivers more rides for less cost, has the
lowest per passenger cost and the highest ridership per
capita.

There are those who say we must either significantly
raise taxes to fund our priorities or impose massive cuts
in government service. But our choices arent limited to
raising taxes or cutting services. Greater innovation will
allow us to maintain essential government services
without sacrificing community assets that enhance our
quality of life.

winning county asset. In 2008, Mitchell International
served a record 7.95 million passengers and received
the Transportation Safety Administrations Partnership
Award. Since 2002, we have invested $199 million
dollars in airport renovations and improvements without
increasing the property tax levy.

Now, looking forward, our budget has five major
objectives:

1. To make it more affordable for families to live and
work in Milwaukee County.
2. To create a better environment to retain and attract
new jobs.
3. To maintain a high quality of life for Milwaukee
County residents
4. To provide a balance between public and private
sector benefits
5. To enact major budget reforms to protect taxpayers
and ensure the long-term viability of county assets and
services.

commentaries and reports. Without exception, the
authors agree that we need fundamental change to
put our economy back on track---


expensive for employers and families to make ends
meet.

That is what weve done for seven years, and it is what
we will do again next year.

We know that it wont be easy. Since the beginning,
weve been engaged in perpetual battle with those
who are determined to maintain a status quo that
Milwaukee County families and employers can no
longer afford.

And more families are struggling today than at any
point in recent history.

This spring, the state unemployment rate reached a 27-
year high of more than 9%, and that kept l foreclosure
rates above 20%.


In addition to holding property taxpayers harmless, we
will not raise the sales tax or implement a wheel tax to
fund county government, as these taxes place an
added burden on struggling families and employers just
as surely as increases in the property tax and income
tax do.

Milwaukee County is blessed by the beauty of our
great lake and our pristine parks and trails. Our natural
resources combined with the ingenuity and strong work
ethic of our people, have made Milwaukee County ---
and the state of Wisconsin --- a great place to live,
work, raise a family and to retire in.

everything from manufacturing motorcycles, to
brewing beer. Our people are famous for their
midwestern work ethic.

But too often we hear businesses say that government
is getting in the way, making it harder for employers of
all sizes to maintain and grow jobs right here.

Our 2010 budget includes an aggressive plan to retain
and attract jobs in Milwaukee County.

Milwaukee County Works, in the Executive Office of
Business Development, will partner with existing
employers and new businesses to foster economic
development and job growth.

In an effort to jumpstart our local economy, we will
accelerate the county building program, beginning
$120 million in new projects by the end of 2010.

The plan includes; $50 million to rebuild highways
bridges and roads. Close to $20 million for new trucks,
highway maintenance vehicles and county fleet cars
and vans, and over $34 million for park improvements.

Recovery Zone Facility bonds are another tool to spur
new developments within Milwaukee County and to
that end, we set aside $18 million in these low interest
rate bonds. And we designate the entire county as a
recovery development zone.

Our investment in transit includes maintaining existing
routes and adding 125 new green and clean buses to
the fleet. To get people to and from work, the plan
includes a new Bus Rapid Transit line from the county
grounds through downtown Milwaukee to the UWM
campus.

Last but not least, the plan includes major investment to
improve and expand capacity at General Mitchell
International Airport.

These are all important steps on the ladder of
economic recovery, but they are not enough. Our
state leaders must be part of the solution.

Today I am calling on the Governor and state
lawmakers to help us get Wisconsins economic engine
humming again, by adopting bold and immediate
steps to improve the states economic climate , and to
reverse the damage caused by years of deficit
spending, and excessive borrowing and taxation.

Governor Doyle and the members of the Legislature
should move to immediately repeal the job killing
Combined Reporting tax which was signed into law
earlier this year.

In February proponents of the Combined Reporting tax
on Wisconsin businesses told us it would not have a
negative impact on our employers.

If only their predictions were true. Unfortunately,
Combined
Reporting cost Milwaukee Countys own Harley
Davidson Motor Company $22.5 million in higher taxes
and contributed to a major decline in profits. This loss
forced Harley Davidson to lay off more than 400
workers.

Now is not the time to experiment with new taxes or to
take no action hoping the current trend will simply
reverse itself. Manufacturing jobs have been the
mainstay of our state and local economy for decades
and we must do everything in our power to keep and
grow good paying manufacturing jobs here.


Our budget helps maintain the quality of life for
Milwaukee County residents.

It starts with our budget priorities to keep public safety
funding intact while fully funding - and in some cases
expanding funding - for safety net programs for low-
income families, children, veterans, and people with
disablities.

Significant capital improvements for the Sherriffs and
District Attorneys offices are also included and our
county- wide Emergency Medical System is maintained
with more revenue available to local units of
government.

In addition to maintaining safety net services for people
with disabilities, older adults and veterans, our plan
disabilities.

And we are investing in our parks and recreation
facilities too.

Our budget includes three times as much for park

The budget also leverages a private donation to begin
work on a major aquatic center at Hoyt Park. Plans for
a fourth aquatics center in the southwest region of the
county are also underway.

Several deep well pools with declining clientele will be
replaced with more popular splash pads. We expect
these transitions to be as successful and as cost
effective as the other splash pads in the system - like
Gordon Park.

And one of the most exciting initiatives in our plan is
funding for the creation of a non-profit organization to
run the Milwaukee County Zoo. Specifically the budget
creates a planning group to prepare the legal
framework for such a transition by October of 2011.

This new organization will combine the continued
financial investment and skill of the county, with the
Zoological Societys expertise in education and
conservation.

the need to create a balance between the benefits
received by public and private sector employees.

Today, over 48% of the county budget goes to fund
wages and benefits for county employees, --- and the
cost of benefits is growing at an alarming rate. Neither
the problem nor the proposed solutions are unique to
Milwaukee County.

Earlier this year, employees in Racine County agreed to
a wage freeze to avoid layoffs.

Last week, Manitowoc County Executive Bob
Ziegelbauer said he envisioned the need to lay off
workers in every area of county government after
public employee representatives rejected proposed
wage and benefit cuts.

With so many private sector workers in the county
seeing their wages and benefits frozen or cut to
preserve jobs, it is hard not to expect the same from
those in government.

While we have taken actions in the past to help control
costs, we must negotiate additional concessions to
help balance the escalating cost of public employee
benefits for taxpayers, now and in the future.

Developing the budget for Milwaukee County is never
an easy task given the financial devastation caused by
the county pension deal of 2001. And even though the
county received a $45 million settlement from the
consulting firm that helped to design the disastrous
pension plan, taxpayers are still on the hook for this plan
for years to come.

Under no circumstances will we consider grabbing all
of the funds from the pension lawsuit settlement to
balance the upcoming budget or to otherwise fuel
spending. These monies must be used to protect
taxpayers by covering the long term unfunded liabilities
associated with the 2001 pension deal.

And we have included several significant budget
reforms aimed at improving the countys fiscal stability
in the future.

First, the proceeds from all county land sales will be
used to fund a limited number of one -time projects to
pay down the county debt.

Second, revenue projections from the use of county
parks are adjusted to more realistic levels.

September 22, 2009

To: Lee Holloway, Chairman, County Board of Supervisors

From: Scott K. Walker, County Executive

Subject: 2009 Corrective Action

Earlier today I met with staff from the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to review
2009 fiscal projections and potential reductions to departmental budgets. Cabinet department
directors were asked to submit reduction plans by last Friday to address a projected County-wide
deficit of $6.2 million. Based on the information I received at this meeting, I directed DAS to
implement approximately $3.1 million in cabinet department budget reductions that will have no
direct impact on services provided to the public. These reductions will not result in any employee
layoffs.

However additional action is necessary to close the remaining gap. Last week I asked the Board
to consider implementation of a 35-hour workweek for four weeks in order to reduce the deficit by
$1.3 million. The 35-hour workweek would apply to all represented and non-represented
employees, except deputy sheriffs, and correctional officers and health care personnel in the
House of Correction and the Office of the Sheriff.

In addition, I believe it will be necessary to implement five furlough days for all non-represented
employees. The furlough days would apply to all departments and would have to be taken by
December 26, 2009. DAS estimates five furlough days applied to all non-represented employees
would reduce the deficit by $750,000.

Finally, I have directed DAS to work with the Department of Transportation and Public Works and
the Parks Department to utilize 14 individuals who are currently in Park Maintenance Worker 2
positions as temporary Highway Maintenance Workers. The Park Maintenance Worker 2
positions, who hold commercial driver licenses, will assist with snow and ice control operations
from November through March. In April, these employees will return to their previous positions in
the Parks Department. This initiative will reduce the Countys projected 2009 deficit by $100,000.

I am requesting that the County Board schedule a special meeting of the Finance & Audit
Committee as soon as possible to consider the implementation of 35-hour workweeks for four
weeks for employees as well as five furlough days for non-represented employees in both
constitutional and non-constitutional departments. Taking these actions quickly will not only
contribute to a reduction in the Countys 2009 deficit, but also create more flexibility for managers
to reduce any impact these cuts would have on services and on County employees.

Constitutional Officers, fellow citizens of Milwaukee County,
it is my honor to present our 2010 county budget.

despite constant challenges and formidable opposition, we
have had our share of successes in county government.

By 2012 we will have lowered the Countys outstanding debt
by 28% from 2002 levels and Since taking office, we lowered
the county debt by 10% and reduced the taxpayer-funded
County workforce by more than 20%. While Milwaukee
Countys bond rating had a negative outlook in 2002,
Standard & Poor's recently ranked the county financial
practices as strong, and Moodys attributed the
improvement to strong management and prudent
budgetary controls.

Departments were required to have their budget reductions into DAS by the end of today. We need to find a time to brief the CEX on these plans so we can get direction on how he wants to proceed. However, given that we
just got themwe will not be ready by Monday. I amrequesting that the DAS update be moved to Tuesday so we can use this time to brief himand get his decisions. This is urgent since there is a special finance committee
meeting next week Thursday to discuss the 2009 Deficit and we need to be prepared with the CEX response. Please advise if you can switch DAS update to Tuesday.

You should begin compiling these in a format that can be used to brief the CEX. I amasking to have the DAS update moved to Tuesday to give more time to get this done. When we brief himon the proposed reductions, you
should note on the document what items require Board approval and which he can do unilaterally. I amnot sure how he will want to proceed in light of the fact we are asking Board approval for reduced workweek. For now,
we need to brief himon what has come in and get his direction. I will let you know if we have until Tuesday.

Not without the CEX approval. If it is discussed at all, I would not go into detail but rather have the CEX mention that there will be an initiative. About the same level as he has done in paper. He told me he does not want
the detail on this to come out until his speech. Let the CEX Office take the lead.

One thing you might go over at cabinet is the status of 2009 budget deficit and reduction plans. Again, I would not speculate on how the CEX will deal with the proposed cuts but rather let the cabinet know that we have
requested authority for reduced workweek and that we will be reviewing reduction plans with CEX in the morning. I question rather the CEX will be able to make decisions on reduction plans by Wed AM given the probable
impacts so I would not commit that the CEX will announce decisions until we meet with himin AM. He may want to delay making final decisions until early next week. Something we will talk to himabout in AM.

We just received a call from Vera Westphal indicating she had some
concerns about the language in the zoo narrative related to the
transition of the zoo to a 501(c)3. I believe that Cindy and Vera are
working on this - but I used the same language in the Park, Rec and
Culture highlights, so we'll need to make sure we make any changes in
both places before anything is released.

I would list examples of the capital items for cultural and the Zoo so the CEX get
credit for actual improvements and I would take out all the detail on the steering
committee, etc related to the non profit corporation for the Zoo. Too much detail for
press.

Does the 34 million for parks include the 20 million for aquatics or is it in addition?

Cindy,
A draft of the Parks Highlights is attached. It includes all of the items in the CEX's e-
mail and all of yours except the addition of levy to replace revenue. I think that is a
difficult to understand technical issue and begs the question of why revenues were
budgeted incorrectly in the first place.

Vera left message that she is concerned about the effecitve date related to creation
of the nonprofit corporation. Both the CEX and Nardelli personally approved this
narrative. I specifically asked the CEX if he wanted to take the effective date out
given the language the Zoological society inserted. He said leave the date in. The
narrative is final.

Attached is the narrative for the 2010 Property taxes. You should be
aware that once we spread the wage and benefit reductions, the levy
for the Sheriff's department will show a decrease of $3,752,443. The
levy for the County Executive's Office decreases $41,660 and the levy
for the County Board Office decreased $174,454. These reductions
are due entirely to the spread of the wage and benefit package.
Without the wage and benefit package the levy for all three of the
above would have increased.
The narratives for each department will indicate the levy impact
associated with the wage and benefit package.

levy with wage adjustment noted

Cc: Dorothy Moore
This is a follow up to my previous email related to the impact of the
wage and benefit adjustments on levy for each department. Attached
is a sheet that illustrates for each department the 2009 levy compared
to the 2010 levy. The last column illustrates how much of the 2010 tax
levy decrease is due to the wage and benefit package. For the few
departments that show levy increase in 2010 (e.g., Courts, DHSS) the
levy would have been higher by the amount of the wage and benefit
numbers had we not had the wage and benefit reductions.
This is just for your information in the event you get asked about
certain departments and why levy went down.

I will need to see the wage and benefit narrative again once my edits are made since
this has to be reviewed by corp counsel and the CEX office. Get me the final and I
will meet with them to go over it.

I do. Sup. Coggs had requested some sort of clearinghouse so that departments that
"needed things" could possibly hook up with departments that had "extra" of those
items. Kreklow told me that we (IMSD) might be able to set up something on the
Intranet as a "Wanted" Bulletin Board where departments could list needs and
others could possibly assist. I'm not sure how helpful it would be, but that's the type
of thing that I believe she is looking for.

Dear Director Archer,
During a summer Finance and Audit Committee Meeting, a request or
maybe a motion for your department to make a listing of department
resources so departments can share or a wish list. We are having a
combined Finance and Audit Meeting next week, I will have a separate
meeting after the combined meeting that day, September 23, 2009.
Please report to the report as soon as possible this agenda item.
Thanks.

through regional cooperation. In addition, we will continue our efforts to improve collaboration
between the County, the State Department of Corrections and our community partner agencies to
improve the sustainability of youth transitioning from a state juvenile correction facility back to their
home community.

Tom and Tim asked me to touch base with you on this inquiry. A reporter is doing an article on the
county executive and read that he "decreased annual debt flow by 36% and county debt by 10%"
He wants to know what the annual debt flow is. I think he is just looking for a simple definition - not
a line-by-line tally. Can you verify this statement, and define the "annual debt flow"?
Thanks,

Here are my changes:
Milwaukee County Public Transit System
Provide $46 million (including $16.4 million in County general obligation bonds and $29.7 million in
Federal funds) to purchase 125 clean diesel buses. 55 buses are expected to be delivered in mid-
2010, with all buses delivered before the end of 2012.
Avoid elimination of entire bus routes (MCTS proposed elimination of XX entire routes).
Provide an additional $2.8 million in tax levy support for Paratransit maintain current fares for
Paratransit riders.
Expand the New Freedom pilot program offering free rides to Paratransit riders on fixed bus
routes, providing more options, flexibility and freedom to Paratransit riders. This initiative is expected
to save $745,000 in 2010 while offering greater flexibility to users.
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
Utilize $36.6 million in Federal transportation funding matched with $6.5 million in proceeds from
the sale of surplus County property to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for the construction of
a ten mile long Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Line along the corridor from the University of Wisconsin-
Milwaukee main campus through downtown and then west to the County grounds.
The BRT will result in higher rider ship as preliminary estimates indicate approximately 13,000 riders
initially with the potential for a 20% increase in future years.
The BRT line is expected to include the following features in order to increase the efficiency and
convenience of the system:
o Purchase of 20 low-floor, 60-foot articulated buses.
o Upgraded shelters at bus stops with real-time bus arrival/departure information.
o Signal controls and dedicated traffic lanes where feasible to decrease the time it takes riders to
reach their destination.
Construction of BRT related street infrastructure improvements may begin as early as 2010 and BRT
buses are planned for purchase in 2011.
Provide over $101.5 million in capital improvement funds (including $17.0 million in bonds and $6.5
million in Land Sale proceeds) for the purchase of:
o 125 clean diesel replacement buses (see above)
o Fare box replacement for the entire bus fleet
o Annunciator replacement for the entire bus fleet
o Major maintenance and improvements to the transit system facilities
o Bus Rapid Transit (see above)

Assuming SKW sends letter to Board requesting authority to implement 35 hour workweek. I am
thinking I should tell cabinet departments to prepare budget reductions plans without paid time off
for employees (furloughs) unless it is VTO (voluntary time off). I have seen some plans come in
alredy that assume furlough time for nonreps. Until the Board responds to the CEX request,
departments should not assume they can or the CEX will be willing to furlough nonreps in the
absence of board approval. Agree?

These are my changes:
Date: September 16, 2009
To: Lee Holloway, Chairman, Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors
From: Scott K. Walker, Milwaukee County Executive
Subject: 2009 Projected Shortfall and Corrective Action
The most recent 2009 fiscal projections from the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) indicates that
the Countys projected year-end shortfall has increased by $2.4 million to $6.2 million. As a result, I have
instructed cabinet departments to submit budget reduction plans for potential implementation as early as
October 4 th . Departments will be submitting these plans to DAS by the end of the day on Friday, September
18 th .
Due to the size of the projected shortfall, the limited time remaining in the year and corrective actions
departments have already implemented, I expect (without added flexibility) significant layoffs will be required
for the remainder of the year to close our projected gap. This would no doubt result in service reductions that
we would both agree are unacceptable. I believe it is in the best interest of the County to pursue
implementation of four, 35-hour workweeks for all County employees with the exception of law enforcement,
security and direct patient care staff related to public safety.
I maintain that the Office of the County Executive holds the authority to implement reduced work schedules for
staff in cabinet departments to address budgetary deficits. However, this question is currently in litigation and
will not be resolved in time to address our 2009 projected shortfall. Therefore, I am requesting County Board
approval to implement 35-hour workweeks for up to four weeks to ensure this action withstands any potential
legal challenges . In addition, I am requesting the Board to authorize 35-hour workweeks for up to four weeks
for all County staff - including those reporting to Constitutional Officers.
Approval of the above action and cooperation from the Constitutional Officers would result in a tax levy savings
of approximately $1.3 million. This savings translates into approximately 140 averted layoffs of County
employees, which will reduce the total number of layoffs necessary to address the projected shortfall.
Since time is limited in our efforts to balance the Countys 2009 budget, I would respectfully request that this
issue be referred to the Finance and Audit Committee for favorable consideration at the September 17, 2009
Finance and Audit Committee meeting. Without affirmative action from the Board, departments will be left
with few options as they prepare budget reduction plans for 2009.

I would like to send clarification out to departments on the development of their budget reduction
plans. Specifically, that while you have requested approval for reduced workweeks, department
reduction plans should not assume approval. I am getting plans already that assume reduced
workweeks for nonreps. We need to be consistent on this issue and in the event we get the approval
the plans can be adjusted accordingly. Also, we will get a better idea of how many layoffs will be
required if we do not get Board approval. Agree?

implementation of four, 35-hour workweeks for all County employees with the exception of law enforcement,
security and direct patient care staff related to public safety.
I maintain that the Office of the County Executive holds the authority to implement reduced work schedules for
staff in cabinet departments to address budgetary deficits. However, this question is currently in litigation and
will not be resolved in time to address our 2009 projected shortfall. Therefore, I am requesting County Board
approval to implement 35-hour workweeks for up to four weeks to ensure this action withstands any potential
legal challenges . In addition, I am requesting the Board to authorize 35-hour workweeks for up to four weeks
for all County staff - including those reporting to Constitutional Officers.
Approval of the above action and cooperation from the Constitutional Officers would result in a tax levy savings
of approximately $1.3 million. This savings translates into approximately 140 averted layoffs of County
employees, which will reduce the total number of layoffs necessary to address the projected shortfall.
Since time is limited in our efforts to balance the Countys 2009 budget, I would respectfully request that this
issue be referred to the Finance and Audit Committee for favorable consideration at the September 17, 2009
Finance and Audit Committee meeting. Without affirmative action from the Board, departments will be left
with few options as they prepare budget reduction plans for 2009.

I would consider furloughs the back up plan. SKW is ok with me telling departments to submit plans
with furloughs not as an option. If we get Board approval, we can adjust plans accordingly.

Assuming SKW sends letter to Board requesting authority to implement 35 hour workweek. I am
thinking I should tell cabinet departments to prepare budget reductions plans without paid time off
for employees (furloughs) unless it is VTO (voluntary time off). I have seen some plans come in
alredy that assume furlough time for nonreps. Until the Board responds to the CEX request,
departments should not assume they can or the CEX will be willing to furlough nonreps in the
absence of board approval. Agree?

When preparing your proposed budget reduction plans please be advised that they should not assume
we have the flexibility to implement furloughs or reduced work weeks for either represented or non
represented staff. Attached is a letter sent this morning to the Chairman requesting authority to
implement reduced workweeks. Until the Board has acted on this, your plans should assume no
implementation of furloughs or reduced workweeks. In the event the Board grants this authority we
will adjust reduction plans accordingly.
Please not that it is appropriate however under the corrective action plan we have had in place all
year to include any VTO (voluntary time off) that employees are interested in taking assuming you
will be able to continue the operation of your office/department and assuming approval by the HR
department as required in code.
Given this clarification, I am extending the deadline for receipt of these plans by DAS until the end of
the day on Friday. If you have already submitted your plans and they do not include furloughs or
reduced work weeks you need not re-submit. However, if you plans did assume implementation of
furlough days or reduced work weeks you will need to revise them per the above and re-submit by
Friday.

In response to your recent email, it is important to note that the Parks Department has already made significant
efforts to reduce expenditures. Here are some examples::
All seasonals but those generating revenues, ensuring public safety, or providing essential services are
gone AND Seasonal hours were paired back in late spring prior to the summer season.
Seasonal personnel are shared by all parks division based on need and revenue potential
We have turned the lights off in our buildings
We have not run air-conditioning in administration or other buildings
We are consolidating (the already consolidated) service yards for the winter and shutting down
service buildings
We are closing pavilions and consolidating rentals for the winter
Noyes and Pulaski indoor pools are adjusting hours to reflect simmers usage
King and Kozy are closing early
We have just come through the coldest summer in recent history; to close our facilities now would result in
breaching contracts and refunds; our golf courses continue to be active and generate revenue as fall approaches.
It is unrealistic for the Parks Department to achieve the level of savings suggested without resorting to the loss
and lay-off of full-time employees. If necessary, the department would be forced to lay-off 25 Park
Maintenance Worker Is
and 13 Park Maintenance Workers IIs.
Please keep in mind that we are working cooperatively with TPW to transfer personnel with CDLs to them to
assist with winter road plowing. The loss of all of the PMWs
would result in significant and very visible service reductions and leave the department with few resources to
meet the publics expectations.
I need to acknowledge the Parks staff and their dedication above and beyond their responsibilities. They are
working endless weekends and evenings, using their own vehicles, foregoing vacation time, and working
tirelessly to achieve our revenue targets.

Finally, we have just come through a great summer where the Parks Department made significant contribution to
tourism and the economic well-being of our community. We provide strong property values and are a very
visible resource that this community cherishes.
Let me know if this is acceptable.

Provide $18.0 million in levy support for the system. Avoid any transit entire-route
eliminations.

Provide an additional $2.8 million in tax levy support for Paratransit maintain current fares
for Paratransit riders.

Expand the New Freedom pilot program offering free rides to Paratransit riders on fixed
bus routes, providing more options, flexibility and freedom to Paratransit riders. This
initiative is expected to save $745,000 in 2010 while offering greater flexibility to users.

Provide over $101.5 million in capital improvement funds (including $17.0 million in
bonds and $6.5 million in Land Sale proceeds) for the purchase of:

o 125 clean diesel replacement buses (see below)
o Bus Rapid Transit (see below)

Provide $46 million (including $16.4 million in County general obligation bonds, $16.6
million in Federal stimulus funds and $13.1 million in other Federal funds) to purchase 125
clean diesel buses. 55 buses are expected to be delivered in mid-2010, with all bused
delivered before the end of 2012.


Utilize $36.6 million in Federal transportation funding matched with $6.5 million in proceeds
from the sale of surplus County property to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for the
construction of a ten mile long Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Line along the corridor from the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee main campus through downtown and then west to the
County grounds.
The BRT will result in higher rider ship as preliminary estimates indicate approximately
13,000 riders initially with the potential for a 20% increase in future years.
The BRT line is expected to include the following features in order to increase the efficiency
and convenience of the system:

o Signal controls and dedicated traffic lanes where feasible to decrease the time it
takes riders to reach their destination.

Construction of BRT related street infrastructure improvements may begin as early as 2010
and BRT buses are planned for purchase in 2011.

Subject: 2009 Projected Deficit and Corrective Action

As you know a recent report from the Department of Administrative Services (DAS)
indicates that the Countys projected year-end deficit has increased by $2.4 million to
$6.2 million. As a result I have instructed cabinet department to submit cutback plans to
DAS in a total amount of $6.2 million for potential implementation as early as October
4
th
. Departments will be submitting these plans to DAS by the end of the day, Thursday
September 17
th
.

Due to the size of the projected deficit and the limited time remaining in the year,
corrective actions necessary may include significant lay-offs and reductions in services to
County residents. Despite the efforts that we have already implemented and are
continuing to apply, hundreds of employee lay-offs may be necessary to close the
remaining gap. I therefore believe it is in the best interests of the County to pursue
implementation of four 35-hour workweeks for all County employees in departments
reporting to the County Board and County Executive, with the exception of employees in
24/7 operations.

While I maintain that the Office of the County Executive holds the authority to
implement reduced work schedules to address budgetary deficits, as you are aware, this
question is currently in litigation and will not be resolved until the time period for
effective corrective action has passed. Therefore I am requesting County Board approval
to ensure the order withstands any potential legal challenges. Implementation of four 35-
hour workweeks will result in a tax levy savings of $735,000, reducing necessary by 80
employees.

Since time is limited in our efforts to balance the Countys 2009 budget, I would
respectfully request that a special meeting of the Finance & Audit Committee be
scheduled for September 21
st
or 22
nd
for consideration of the implementation of four 35
hour work weeks for the remainder of 2009, as well as the cutback plans that have been
submitted to DAS by cabinet departments.

September 15, 2009




As you know the recent 2009 fiscal projections from the Department of Administrative
Services (DAS) indicates that the Countys projected year-end deficit has increased by
$2.4 million to $6.2 million. As a result I have instructed cabinet department to submit

Due to the size of the projected deficit, the limited time remaining in the year and
corrective actions departments have already implemented, I expect without added
flexibility significant layoffs will be required for the remainder of the year to close our
projected gap. This would no doubt result in service reductions that I am certain you and
I would agree would be unacceptable I therefore believe it is in the best interests of the
County to pursue implementation of four 35-hour workweeks for all County employees
with the exception of law enforcement, security and direct patient care staff related to
public safety.

implement reduced work schedules for staff in cabinet departments to address budgetary
deficits, as you are aware, this question is currently in litigation and will not be resolved
in time to address our current year projected gap. Therefore I am requesting County
Board approval to implement 35 hour work weeks for up to four weeks to ensure this
action withstands any potential legal challenges. Further, unlike my previous action, I
am requesting the Board to authorize 35 hour work weeks (for up to four weeks) for all
county staff including staff reporting to Constitutional Officers.

Approval of the above action and cooperation from the Constitutional Officers would
result in a tax levy savings of approximately $1.3 million. This savings translates into
approximately 140 averted layoffs of county employees.

respectfully request that this issue be referred to the Finance and Audit Committee for
favorable consideration at the September 17, 2009 Finance and Audit Committee
meeting. Without affirmative direction from the Board, departments will be left with few
options as they prepare budget reduction plans for 2009.

Cynthia,
I talked to Chuck and our only concern is if the Society has agreed to the concept
and the written language.
Not sure if you are looking for other changes but below are some minor changes to
the narrative.
The Zoo Visitor Spending Cost Patterns Five Year Performance graph needs to be
updated to: $14.72 per capita spending and $3.53 Net Cost / Visitor
Under Zoo hours: add Saturday -Sunday 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to the J anuary
through February / November & December hours (I forgot to add this in the
Request)
The special exhibit fee under General Zoo Visitor Fee Schedule should be $2.50
instead of $2.00 (we charge more for Dinosaurs).

Departments are preparing their 2009 budget reductions. I am hearing that some
would like to propose furloughs for non reps. I suspect we cannot do this without
Board approval and pending the outcome of litigation. correct? VTO would be ok
and short term layoffs. right?

Cindy,
Attached is the reduction in force plan.
This was developed by myself, Davida, Karen J ackson and Steve Kreklow. It is part
our our strategy to mitigate the more contentious aspects of the budget. HR did an
excellent job handling the dietary layoffs and this document presents those as a plan
for going forward. While the CEX did not see this document, we did reference it in
our overview of the budget.
I would strongly encourage that it be included in the budget. As a second option, I
would recommend that it be distributed as a supplemental report. We took a lot of
heat last year during the hearings for not being prepared for layoffs or for caring
about what happens to employees. This paper demonstrates forethought and care
for the well being of employees.

Good afternoon.
The Pension Board meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, with a series of topics that are
primarily informational.
These topics include operational updates, a monthly Activities report and the list of
retirees for J uly and August.
Some areas being reviewed for the Board include:
* V-3 Self Service - active employee and retiree access to their personal
demographic information, forms
down-loading, and pension calculator.
* Cash Flow Report - an informational overview of the monthly financial status of
cash on hand for
administrative and general operational costs.
* Investment Managers Report - the report will indicate positive news of the portfolio
having a value of 1.7
billion dollars and a projection of
a good last quarter.
Board topics which may result in some media interest
1. The RFP recommendations by the Investment Committee/Evaluation Panel for
Small Cap Value and
Emerging Markets Managers. Several companies that submitted may be
disappointed. The press may want
to know the methodology used for selection. ERS has good documentation on the
selection process.
2. There are Pension Board Elections in 2010. A contract for Electronic voting is
being presented. Also,
Telephone Voting for the retiree election is being proposed. This may result in
some intense discussion.

DEPARTMENTAL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Zoo's organizational structure is designed to maximize efficiency of operations, facilities, animal management

Administration and Finance, and Public Affairs and Services. These divisions provide a work force organized to
address the seasonal nature of operations, increase attendance and revenue-earning opportunities and provide
optimum animal care.
The Animal Management and Health Division is responsible for the care and management of the extensive
animal collection, which means maintaining fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and invertebrates in good
health to allow their conservation, propagation and display. This includes providing a well-balanced, nutritious

E.xpand Public/Private Partnership
Milwaukee County and the Zoological Society of Milwaukee share a similar vision for maintaining a world-class
zoo in Milwaukee. Therefore, it is the intent of both organizations to build on their existing successful
public/private partnership by jointly creating an independent, non-for-profit corporation that will effectively manage
the long-term operational needs and programmatic offerings of a great zoo and preserve it for the visiting public
long into the future. This new combination of resources will more efficiently serve the residents of Milwaukee
County and the members of the Zoological Society of Milwaukee.
In full cooperation with the Zoological Society of Milwaukee, authorize the creation of a not-for-profit
corporation to assume operation and management of the Milwaukee County Zoo effective October 1, 2011.
Create a Steering Committee to oversee the development of draft legal documents and establish the process
necessary to implement the change in governance. Draft legal documents including, but not limited to, the
Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and Lease and Management Agreement.
The Steering Committee would consist of:
Representatives of the Zoological Society and their Counsel
Milwaukee County Zoo Director
Milwaukee County Chief Corporation Counsel
Representatives from DAS and County Board staff
Chief of Staff's from CEX and County Board Chair Office
". Establish as the Co-Chairs of the Steering Committee the Chief Corporation Counsel of Milwaukee County
and a representative of the Zoological Society.
". Provide $60,000 to the Office of Corporation Counsel for outside legal assistance as required. The Zoological
Society of Milwaukee will provide similar funding for any additional outside consultants if needed.
Authorize the Steering Committee to form subcommittees, as required, to develop transition plans necessary
to complete the successful transition from County & Zoological Society management and operation to
management and operation by the newly created not-for-profit corporation. Plans to be developed shall
include, but not limited to, plans dealing with the manner in which administrative functions currently provided
by the County and Society and the assets owned by each respective organization are to be transitioned to the
new corporation.
Direct the Steering Committee Workgroup to develop the draft documents necessary to implement the transition
of Zoo governance, for submission to and to submit these documents for review and approval to the Milwaukee
County Parks, Environment and Energy Committee, the Milwaukee County Finance and Audit Committee, and
the Executive Board of the Zoological Society of Milwaukee for review and approval by no later than December
2010.
Attendance
Zoo attendance is expected to remain at the 2009 projected level of 1,350,000 visitors.
$0
Summer Special E.xhibit $50,455
The 2010 Special Exhibit is changing to the Dinosaur Exhibit. The Avian Special Exhibit did not meet revenue
targets in 2009. The Dinosaur Exhibit will increase the tax levy for Special Exhibits by $50,455, but will assist the
Zoo in meeting their revenue targets.

DRAFT
Zoo Visitor Spending and Cost Patterns
The majority of revenue categories for the Zoo are driven by attendance. The 2010revenue budget was
developed by using actual experience and applying It against the attendance goal of 1.350,000 visitors. The 2009
Budget included $300,000 in additional revenues from the Zoo's new polnt-of-sale system. The 2010 revenue
budget continues this assumption in the revenue model. For 2010, the average visitor per capita spending and
net cost per visitor is budgeted at $13.80 and $3.51 respectively. The chart below shows the five year visitor
spending and cost patterns.

Management Flexibility
The Zoo will continue the following initiatives through 2010:
UNIT NO. 9500
FUND: General 0001
The flexibility to reallocate major maintenance projects and equipment purchases while remaining within the
total appropriation;
The Zoo Director's authorization is continued to discount or waive admission fees and to provide one free
admission day per month during the months of January through April, and November and December.
Milwaukee County Residents
The following discounts are continued in the 2010 Budget:
Discounted admission fees of $9,50 for adults and $6.50 for juniors and school groups for Milwaukee County
residents on Wednesdays;
Daily discount of $1.75 off the admission rate including weekends for Milwaukee County residents
Resale Purchases for Novelties and Souvenirs
The Zoological Department is requesting that the Milwaukee County Purchasing Administrator be authorized to
issue and deliver letters of intent to overseas vendors at a cost not to exceed $400,000 in aggregate for advance
ordering of the Zoo's 2010 and 2011 resale purchases for novelties and souvenirs in October of 2009 and
October 2010 respectively. This amount is apprOXimately 57% of the total requested appropriation for resale
novelties and souvenirs. A substantial portion of resale merchandise sold at the Milwaukee County Zoo is
purchased from import vendors to provide the quantity and variety of items desired by the general public visiting
the Zoo. Due to the distance and travel time required for overseas shipments, the Zoo must order resale
merchandise in the fall for spring delivery. Precedent exists in past County Board authorization for the Zoo to
purchase resale items for the upcoming year. Budget authority is included in the 2010 Zoo budget in lieu of
separate review and approval during the budget year. The County Board of Supervisors may revoke this
authority if 2011 funds are not appropriated for Zoo novelties and souvenirs during the 2011 budget deliberations
in October of 201 O.
Revenues ($1,509,038)
Revenue changes consist of the following:
$658,932 increase in revenue associated with the admission fee increase of $1;
$257,274 increase in revenue associated with the parking fee increase of $1;
$170,000 increase in new revenue from the continuation of the 2009 contracts for face painting and
entrance photos;
$210,030 increase in revenue for concessions revenue based on 2008 actual experience;
$200,000 in increased support from the Zoological Society;
$70,517 in increased revenue for Society parking fees based on 2008 activity;
$57,715 reduction in revenue based on miscellaneous revenue changes;
Animal Division Alignment of Position Within Job Group ($3,670)
One position of Curator of Large Mammals is abolished and one position of Large Mammals Curator is created in
2010. This action realigns the Curator of Large Mammals within the Curator Job Group. A tax levy savings of
$3,670 is generated from this action.
Building Maintenance Change $0
Two positions of Heating and Ventilating Mechanic 1 are created in 2010 and two positions of Zoo Maintenance
Worker are asterisked for abolishment when the positions become vacant. The heating, air conditioning and
refrigeration systems at the Milwaukee County Zoo have grown more complex over the years and require
additional skills to maintain these systems. Creation of the new positions has a zero net tax levy impact because
the positions are part of the Zoo's 2010 vacancy and turnover plan and will not be filled until vacancies occur
within the positions of Zoo Maintenance Worker.

DRAFT
Human Resources Function at the Zoo $0
1.0 FTE Human Resource Coordinator position and 1.0 FTE Management Assistant HR are transferred from DAS
Human Resources to the Zoological Department in order to improve responsiveness to departmental human
resource activities while increasing the focus of DAS Human Resources on managing county-wide human
resource policies and ensuring compliance. Departmental human resource staff will continue to follow the policies
and procedures established by DAS Human Resources and participate in professional development activities in
order to ensure standard and consistent practices.
Professional Service Contracts
The Zoological Department is requesting authority to enter into the follOWing Professional Service Contracts in
2010. They are included in this budget for County Board approval in lieu of separate review and approval during

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY SUPPORT
The relationship between Milwaukee County and the Zoological Society began in 1910 when the Washington
Park Zool09ical Society, now the Zoological Society of Milwaukee County, was organized to help raise funds for
animal acquisition. The Society has functioned for many years for the purpose of aiding the County in the
operation, maintenance and development of the Zoo and its animal collection. Its mission is to promote
conservation, education, exhibition of animals, research and recreation through fundraising and volunteerism.
In February 1989, the relationship was formalized with a Memorandum of Understanding, thus forging a strong
public/private partnership for the continuing support of the Milwaukee County Zoo. The Memorandum of
Understanding was renewed in 1992 and again in 1996. The agreement provides office space for the Society on
the Zoo grounds, including utilities, custodial and maintenance services and staff parking. To assure continued
support for the Zoo, the County provides free admission for Society members throughout the term of the
Memorandum of Understanding.
The cost of the capital improvement program contained in the 2000-2009 Nine-Year Plan is $29.6 million, which
was split equally between Milwaukee County and the Zoological Society.
For 2010, the Zoological Society support of $1,158,615 consists of the following:
$424,865 continuation of 2008 additional support, as well as an increase of $200,000 in 2010
$310,750 in corporate sponsorship revenue
$74.288 for various ticket reimbursement for Society members
$55,000 summer exhibit corporate sponsorship revenue
$93,712 in miscellaneous support
Capital Investments
$4,984,906 are invested in capital projects for 2010. These include projects that are part of two 2010 debt
issuances and a Fall 2009 debt issuance. The projects funded through the Fall 2009 debt issuance were
submitted to the County Board for approval during the September 2009 cycle but are presented here for

million.
Key decision items
Sheriff
As a result of the HOC/Sheriff merger, the Sheriffs office implements a reorganization,
approved in May 2009, that increases efficiency and saves $2.5 million
The J ailer Initiative is continued whereby 42 FTE vacant Deputy Sheriff 1 positions are
replaced with 42 FTE Correction Officer 1 positions for a savings of $1.0 million
The Farm and Fish Hatchery is closed for a savings of $237,791
3 FTE Deputy Sheriff Positions are added to provide increased patrols of I-94 during

Lab technicians will be cross-trained in using newly purchased x-ray equipment so that
a professional service contract is no longer needed. This will save $11,500 in 2010.
Courts
Universal screening is authorized if grant funding becomes available. Universal
screening will help identify defendants who would benefit from diversionary programs
resulting in a decrease in the jail population. The cost of this program is $1.0 million
Expenditures are re-estimated based on 2009 cost-saving imitative for a total savings of
$160,000
3.5 FTE vacant positions are abolished for savings of $275,000

Public Safety Capital Investments - $10 million
X-Ray equipment - $119,950
Electronic Medical Records replacement- $2.8 million
Video Visitation - $432,000
Security Cameras - $2.6 million
55 Sheriff Vehicles - $______

Economic Development and Job Creation

Provide $450,000 and 4.0 FTE and consulting funds for creation of Office of Economic
Opportunity attached to the County Executives Office.
One director and three business advocates
Work in concert with municipal officials and ED agents to provide comprehensive ED
strategy and comprehensive assistance to businesses.
Focus on business retention/expansion/re-location
See attached.

Accelerate County building program by issuing approximately $120 million bonds over
next two years. Projects will be completed over the next four years. Key capital projects
include:
Parks Aquatic Plan -- $11.5 million over three years
BHD Renovation -- $12.4 million over three years
Fleet Initiative -- $19.5 million over three years
Parks Projects -- $17.7 million over three years
Public Safety -- $9.9 million over three years
Highways/Bridges and Roads -- $46.1 over three years

Use Build America Bonds for County capital program to achieve 35% credit on interest
payments.

Work with businesses to issue over $18 million Recovery Zone Facility bonds for private
endeavors. These bonds will allow businesses to issue lower-interest, tax-exempt bonds
through Milwaukee County. Bonds must be issued by December 31, 2010.

Transportation

No Bus Route Eliminations

New Buses - Provide $46 million over three years to purchase 125 clean diesel buses.
Fifty-five buses will begin delivery April-August 2010 with remaining buses delivered
before close of 2012. [$16.4 million county bonding/$16.6 federal stimulus/$13.1 million
federal funds.

Bus Rapid Transit - Provide $43 million [County $6.5 million/FED $36.6 million] in 2010
and 2011 for construction of Wisconsin Avenue BRT line and purchase of BRT buses.
Targeted completion date mid 2011.

Continued expansion of New Freedom Program by increasing county efforts to assist
para-transit riders to ride mass transit for a saving of over $400,000.

Other Capital Improvements

Government Reform

Wage and Benefit Concessions
Budget almost $30 million in County Employee wage and benefit concessions. (See
Attached).

Outsourcing government work to save taxpayers over $3.2 million.
Outsource housekeeping, Courthouse security services and mainframe operations and
application support. 135 FTE county positions are abolished.

New governance model for Zoo management and operations
Establish process in cooperation with Zoological Society to transition Zoo management
and operations to a private- not-for-profit corporation. Expected completion date 2011.

Increased capital investment to reduce operating costs

Fleet Program: The fleet replacement schedule will be accelerated to take advantage of
low interest rates and replace an aging fleet. An aggressive replacement schedule will then
be maintained so that most vehicles will remain under warranty while owned by the
County. This will allow the County to reduce maintenance expenditures and staffing costs
in the Fleet division while improving the condition of the entire fleet.

The Parks department will continue to shift focus from deep-well pools to splash pads and
aquatic centers, which have lower maintenance costs and increased revenue potential.

The Medical Examiner will update x-ray equipment so that lab technicians can operate the
machinery and not have to rely on private contractors

Land sale revenue in Parks will be available for major maintenance (Crystal Ridge and 68
th

and State).

Land sale revenue related to BHD consolidation will be retained by BHD to be used for
BHD renovation.

Parks and Highways Shared Employees
In 2010, 14.0 FTE Park Maintenance Worker II positions will transfer to the Highways
department for approximately 4 months during the winter to assist with snowplowing
operations
This will reduce the need for temporary employees in Highways, lowering
unemployment costs and creating a more stable year-to-year work force. It also
decreases costs county-wide by approximately $326,000 as the state reimburses the
County for snowplowing activities on the state highway system.

Airport Privatization
Create a steering committee that is responsible for recommending policy to the larger
county board; this committee would largely be advised by the operations committee,
which would also be created in the budget.
Funding of $250,000 will be appropriated to retain consultants and outside counsel as
necessary.

Highways Long Term Planning
Fund $100,000 for a consultant to help develop a long-term plan for county trunk highways.
Ideas that could be explored and developed include:
A special assessment for county trunk work (therefore reducing the bonding and
long-term debt);
Developing a plan for ongoing major maintenance on county trunks;
Investigating the opportunity to transfer authority over county trunks to
municipalities
Feasibility of outsourcing county trunk highways to a private vendor.
Recommending an option to maintain major and minor parkway thoroughfares.

Outsource Airport Fire Department to Air National Guard
Airport will contract with the Air National Guard, who already operates a fire
department near General Mitchell International, for fire services. Currently services are
provided by County employees.
The Air National Guard already provides fire services to the Dane County Airport.

If you are asking me for my recommendations on how to close the 2009 gap,
here they are:
1. We implement a plan to close the $6.2 million gap by $4.0 million. This
reflects the margin of error in our estimates and in my opinion if we're going to
laying significant numbers of employees off, we would be better off ending the
year with a small deficit instead of a surplus.
2. We should seek Board approval to implement 4 furlough days for all
departments generating savings of $2.8 million.
3. We should ask all cabinet departments to submit lay off plans totaling $1.2
million in tax levy savings.
If you're asking me how allocate the entire $6.2 million out to departments, my
recommendation is to allocate it out evenly to all departments.

Unfortunately this won't be possible.
Almost all of the information included in the Budget Highlights document is pulled from the
department narratives and most of the numbers include some wages and benefits or cross
charges.
With the change in the wage and benefit reform package that the CEX asked us to
implement on Friday, the wages and benefits and cross charges for every department and
most programs will change. Tomorrow (Monday) the budget analysts will go through the
process of making sure that every department ties out to the totals that J ohn and Natalie
worked on this weekend. After they tie out, the analysts need to go back into their
narratives and update the numbers included in the text to be consistent with the new
totals. Before the narratives are finalized another analyst will double check all numbers in
the narratives against the BRASS system to make sure every thing is accurate. At that point
I can begin the process of incorporating this information into the Budget Highlights
document.
While it's going to be tight, I believe that we'll have the Budget Highlights document ready to
be distributed with the Recommended Budget like we did last year.
Thanks.

Pam,
Tim Russell stopped by my office late Friday and told me that the CEX had met with Bill
Drew and agreed to provide $350,000 for the replacement of gas boilers in TIC. Please see
me tomorrow morning so we can figure out how to do this.

Will this require dropping another project so that this can get funded? If so, we need to be
sure the CEX knows what project we are recommending to be dropped. You might want to
give him a few options.

Cindy -
I have been asked to get a lot of background material together for the county executive's
speech. I will be going in to the office this afternoon to work on it - but quite a bit is
information I have not yet received - upcoming budget highlights for example. I only have
the EMS and Disabilities info.
I will put together a list of the topics and gather what I can from my own files and check
with Tim to see if he received info not passed on to me before I check with you. J ust
wanted to give you a heads up that this is in the works this weekend.
I'll send you the list this afternoon that I'll put together based on the county exec's verbal
outline he gave yesterday in case you have info you know should be included.
thanks,
(ps - if you aren't working all day - there's a great dog event in Brookfield starting at noon
that has an area to check your dog's speed by radar!) It's in the Cue section

Attached is a rough outline of CEX speech. We should focus on narrative higlights in these
areas -- numbers can come later. Fran is working from a blank slate -- she has no narrative
whatsoever to begin the speech. Again, the numbers are not the most important at this
point so waiting on analysts to tie out numbers should not delay getting highlights to CEX
office. J ohn and analyst can focus on getting the budget to bed, your and my top priority is
now getting info togheter for speech.

SKW may have given out copies of his own notes - but this is my summary. When he went

Subject: Re:
Unfortunately this won't be possible.
Almost all of the information included in the Budget Highlights document is pulled from the
department narratives and most of the numbers include some wages and benefits or cross
charges.
With the change in the wage and benefit reform package that the CEX asked us to
implement on Friday, the wages and benefits and cross charges for every department and
most programs will change. Tomorrow (Monday) the budget analysts will go through the
process of making sure that every department ties out to the totals that J ohn and Natalie
worked on this weekend. After they tie out, the analysts need to go back into their
narratives and update the numbers included in the text to be consistent with the new
totals. Before the narratives are finalized another analyst will double check all numbers in
the narratives against the BRASS system to make sure every thing is accurate. At that point
I can begin the process of incorporating this information into the Budget Highlights
document.
While it's going to be tight, I believe that we'll have the Budget Highlights document ready to
be distributed with the Recommended Budget like we did last year.
Thanks.

I need clarification on the housing programs that are funded. Guest House is
one of two owners (along with Heartland Housing) of Prairie Apartments - the
proposed site for the news conference.
1. I only see Guest House listed - at $50K - is this for any facilities they own?
2. The executive director at Prairie Apts. asked if the budget was providing
emergency shelter funding. I see that it is on the sheet for six homeless
shelters - is Prairie Apts. included in that group?

DRAFT

2010 CEX RECOMMENDED BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS

Supportive Housing

Provide tax levy funding for the continued operation of the Hilltop residential care unit
for developmentally disabled adults.

The 2010 Budget continues to provide $660,000 for the following supportive housing
programs.

Program Amount
New Samaria Housing
Development
$ 70,000
Coordinated Community Housing $ 45,000
Supported Apartment Contracts $360,000
Our Space $110,000
Guest House $ 50,000
Mercy Housing $ 25,000

Provide $75,000 to support the Supportive Housing Development Committee
recommended by the Special Needs Housing Action Team and the Continuum of Care
consortium of governmental and non-profit entities working to secure funds to provide
housing assistance for Milwaukee Countys homeless population.

Continue tax levy funding $420,000 for six homeless shelters providing emergency
shelter to an average of 337 people every night.

Include over $30,000 to provide domestic abuse counseling services to approximately
480 clients.

5 themes

1. Afford to live and work in Milw. Cnty.

Based on all-time high foreclosure, companies in bankruptcy. Now is the last time we
can afford tax increases. CE Budget: no property tax increase, no sales tax increase, no
wheel tax.
Wants mention of negative impact of combined reporting Harley-Davidson example
cost them $22.5 million. Franklin/Tosa facilities
Call on Gov. and legislature to undo capital gains, reduce corporate income tax on mfg.
Change state tax on manufacturing and business some at risk of leaving.
Employers cant afford a penny more or theyll be out of business. And Im not going to
let that happen.

2. Retain and attract jobs in Milw. Cnty.

-Keeping jobs here. Need to help employers keep these jobs and then grow.
Key element will be the Milw.Cnty Works initiative: CE Office of Business
Development with an Executive Director and staff. Determine how can work with
business to create jobs.

-Accelerating building program. $120 million projects to be completed by end of 2010
18 months.
$50mil transportation infrastructure Hwy, bridges, roads
$20mil Fleet
$20mil Parks improvements

-Recovery Zone Facility Bonds (?) have lower liability, create county as a zone
$18mil additional capacity. Another tool we can use below market loans

-Transit will maintain existing routes, no route eliminations, but some will have segment
adjustments that reflect lower ridership portions.
-New service BRT Think rail, use buses. Adaptable service area. UWM-engineering
campus in Tosa to downtown and north to UWM east side campus.
-125 new green and clean buses Green Initiative. Cost savings will result from
replacing the old buses that cost an extra $10K/year to maintain.
-What is the levy for MCTS? Will be less in 2010.
-Airport has shown record-breaking, continued growth but will dip in 2009.

3. Balance between public sector and private sector benefits

48% of budget consists of Wage & Benefits for employees. Driving force is the
pension, retirement and health care benefits costs. We need to offset those cost drivers
with adjustments in employee wage and benefits.
$35mil cost, $32mil in savings proposed.
Concession bargaining need help from our employees.
(wants examples from the private sector to use as comparables Manitowoc, Racine
counties have freeze for 09, Dane county accepted cuts. All facing this problem.
FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY stress in speech Public Policy Forum report.
5-year forecast escalating structural deficit due to benefits.
Path to sustainability while maintaining necessary services and quality of life.
If choose to ignore this reality, structural deficit only gets bigger.
Examples of companies on public benefits side. Who successful with benefits Lisa
Mower Tool Service Corp.

4. Maintain quality of life

Public Safety: Sheriff/DA/Courts/EMS
Safety net programs:
Eliminate the 3000-person waiting list.
$4.8 million additional support for developmental and physical disabilities
Parks maintenance - $20 mil new bathroom facilities, playground equipment
Leverage private donations for 3
rd
major Aquatic Center at Hoyt and begin plan for 4
th

Aquatic Center in SE. Replace remaining deep well pools with splash pads. Deep well
attendance declining. Use Gordon Park as an example (ask Parks for suggestions of
neighbors happy with this). Transition to splash pads, strategy for underperforming
pools. Each region in county will have Aquatic Center Cool Waters, Dave Schulz,
Hoyt and SE. (others want this information posted on the website now showing
Gordon Park before and after)
Zoo Funding to create 501(c)3. Effective October 2011.
Create panel County/Zoological Society. Blend financial investment from county
with education/conservation strength of Zoological Society.
Chuck W. has examples.

5. Enact major budget reforms

One-time funding source
Wage and benefits is part
Land sales for paying down debt or limitied number of one-time projects and not for
ongoing operating costs. (BRT take proceeds from UW land sale and plug in for county
portion of matching funds).
Park revenues fairly inflated by Board. Adjust to realistic levels.
Sales tax target for 2010 lowered (by $2 million) to reflect economic trends. (dont use
2009 actuals).
We are not using pension lawsuit funds to balance budget. Funds to cover long-term
costs of the unfunded liability in pension. Long-term savings to pension fund.
Apply $30 million each of 5 years to obligation (?).
Dont use it all up front or will have a $30 million hole in 2011.
Expand public/private partnerships Parks, Zoo, other cultural institutions. People
invested in their community. Domes example, Zoological Society funded millions.

Invite:
Sheriff, DA
Goodwill/ARC others?
Parks Denise Lindberg of Friends of Hoyt
Zoo ?
Rob Henken of PPF
Some residents seniors, young couple, employers.

Taxes no increases
J obs new program MC Works, economic develpment
Quality of life new BRT, Aquatic plan
DRAFT


Supportive Housing

Provide tax levy funding for the continued operation of the Hilltop residential care unit for
developmentally disabled adults. This is BHD not housing, not appropriate for this
area. Additionally, I would not mention it under BHD because it could be part of the
lawsuit settlement on we do not want the County Executive to state a position one way
or the other.
The 2010 budget emphasizes the need for permanent, supportive housing for all
Milwaukee County residents.

The 2010 Budget continues to provide $660,000 (? Or $661,539) for the following
supportive housing programs. (Are all of these #s estimates or new
budget #s ?)

Our Space $110,000
Guest House (see below) $ $
50,00049,000

The first question does not make sense since we are in collective bargaining that has
not been resolved.

The answer to the 2nd question depends on who is covered by the 35 hour work

Attached is my allocation of a $6.2M levy reduction. It is based on
cabinet department's share of total levy. For departments with no levy
(Fleet, Facilities, IMSD. . .) it is based on expenditures. These numbers
are very large and given that we only have 3 months to probably
implement, the impact will likely be dramatic. I have not taken into

I made some suggested changes..for example groups are sensitive to the 18-59 that it means 18 to 59
meaning people are not eligible for anything in the year they are 59. Therefore please use 18
THROUGH 59.

Thank you,

vendors noted are meant to be examples of vendors used in 2009 for SKW reference. Vendors could
change in 2010 due to RFP that is currently in process. In other words, vendors not for publication just

What is your recommended plan for closing the 2009 budget gap? Earlier you told the CEX that we could
move ahead implementing cost saving measures included in the 2010 budget early. What are those
initiatives and is there really time to get them implemented? The CEX will likely be asked to make a
statement later today on the 09 gap. What do you recommend?

A simple check-mark makes a difference.
Were pleased to announce this past year, taxpayers throughout Wisconsin checked the box on their
tax forms and donated more than $92,000 to help keep people with MS independent in their homes.
Through these gifts, individuals with MS are assisted with home and auto modifications, durable medical
equipment and other MS-related expenses. Look for this donation opportunity on your 2009 Wisconsin
state income tax form and make a mark for MS!

Cindy,
Dane County's rating was downgraded from a AAA. I wouldn't characterize their downgrade as due to the
economy and declining sales taxes as much as it was due to their inability to address the budget gap that
resulted. Regardless, I don't believe that the rating agencies would downgrade Milwaukee County on the
same basis. The threshold for maintaining a AAA is much higher than a AA so those counties are also
much more likely to be downgraded.
Having said that I should say that I do believe that the rating agencies are likely to give Milwaukee
County a negative outlook due to the assumed union concessions included in the 2010 budget. The
rating agencies will ask what assumptions regarding union contracts are included in the 2010 proposed
budget. If they judge those assumptions to be unrealistic they will state in their rating that we are
relying on unrealistic assumptions for union concessions to balance our budget. That would likely be
reason enough to give the County a negative outlook.
We will be going through bond ratings the second week of October. We will also be receiving bonds
ratings when we issue debt in the spring and fall of 2010.

Cindy,
My first recommendation is that the CEX not respond publicly in any detail until he has approved a plan
and we have been able to brief Board leadership. I think we're much more likely to be able to implement
if we try to work with the Board.
We reviewed the potential for early implementation of some of the budget changes, but it's too late in the
year and the gap is too large to address it using this approach. Most of the major initiatives could not be
implemented before the end of November and the beginning of December.
We calculated that the County would have to lay off between 680 and 835 employees (depending how
departments with high revenue offsets are treated) as of October 3rd in order to close the $6.2 million
gap. For some departments this may represent over 20% of their work force. Another option would be
to attempt to get Board approval to implement four mandatory furlough days for all employees before
the end of the year. This would save approximately $2.8 million and reduce the number of lay offs
necessary.
Bill is at the J udiciary Committee meeting this morning, so I was unable to discuss these issues with him.
I think we should get his input before making any decisions.

We were looking at two items in particular: 1) the layoff of park maintenance workers as proposed in the
2010 budget - we'll likely be laying off these employees as part of the larger lay off; 2) possible early
implementation of the housekeeping and security contracts. I talked with J ack this morning and we
won't be able to implement those contracts until late November or early December.

what about temps for housekeeping? I would twist J ack's arm on this. Also this is a procurement contract
not a professional sevices. I think Amos can award these from his office. Ask Davida or call Amos.

I hate to have to do blanket layoffs and based on your earlier comment, the CEX believes we can
implement 2010 items in 2009.

The new vendor will need to hire and train employees. Maybe we could twist J ack's arm into moving it up
a couple of weeks, but that would only get us another $50k or so.

Cindy,
I'm proposing the following language be included in each departmental narrative - please let me know if
this is OK:
"This budget includes a reduction of $X in personal services based on the changes described in the non-
departmental account for wage and benefit modifications (org-1972). There is a corresponding revenue
offset of $Y for a total tax levy savings of $Z."
In the 1972 org we will put the detail related to each initiative and rationale.
Thanks!

ugh! You should have never metntioned to him that we could implement 2010 initiatives early. This is
now stuck in his head and it is something that is apparently not viable.

I have a call into Amos to find out about the contract award.
Best case scenario is that we're able to implement this on November 1. That would save about $200,000
and reduce the number of layoffs necessary by 15-20. We'll still have to make major across the board
lay offs.
If we want to pursue this option I think we need to work closely with Bill and Greg. Do we need Board
approval to initiate lay offs resulting from privatization? Have we completed the necessary notifications
to the unions to proceed with privatization?

Bill, here are my questions.

You said we could implement furloughs with Board approval for four weeks. I assume that applies to 35
hour work week. What if we want to do furlough days? How many could we do with Board approval.

I am assuming that Board approval is required for nonreps too? In other words can the CEX proceed with
furlough days for nonreps without Board approval. I thought he did this previously. If so, do the limits
apply to nonreps?

I see Steve's notes below regarding whether the CEX can implement layoffs. Ugh, if you conclude he can't
do layoffs and you previously concluded he cannot close county facilities -- then how exactly is he to meet
his statutory requirments to live within the budget as adopted by the Board....:(

I just spoke with Bill. We can implement furloughs in 2009 only with Board approval. He's reviewing
whether the CEX can implement lay offs unilaterally. I get the sense we can expect a legal challenge if
we proceed down this route.

Disability Services

Provide an additional $4.8 million in tax levy support to continue expansion of the Family
Care program including $945,000 in additional funding for the Disabilities Resource Center.

- Expansion of Family Care will eliminate the waiting list for long-term support
services for adults with physical and developmental disabilities, allowing
services to be provided to an estimated 2,500 adults.

- The Disabilities Resource Center is designed to serve as a single point of contact
to serve all people between the ages of 18 through-59 with disabilities, to select
with choices regarding the most appropriate publicly funded long-term managed
care program to meet their individual needs.

- The Care Management Organization will work aggressively to ensure that all
individuals reside in the least restrictive and most integrated setting that meets
their needs. The goal of this initiative is to preventreduce the institutional
placement and provide more options to those served.

Transition of over 80 non-waiver individuals with disabilities into the Family Care
program will reduce the costs of providing various non-waiver purchase of services by more
than $1.0 million with while minimizing no impact and preserving on the services these
individuals receive.

In J une, the Board passed Resolution 09-052 revising section 56.05 of the County Ordinances pertaining to
limits on travel and expense reimbursement. Effective for all travel approved after September 7, 2009,
employees must comply with the updated travel ordinance.
The Department of Administrative Services will be updating Administrative Procedure 05.11 - Travel
Preparation Guidelines and Expense Reporting to reflect the change in the Ordinance. The following
information is being provided pending the updates to the Administrative Policy.
LIMITS ON HOTEL RATES
The revised ordinance places a limit on the amount the County will reimburse employees for hotel costs. Per
the ordinance change:
Limit on Lodging Rates - Rates cannot exceed 125% of the highest Federal lodging rate.
56.05 (5) Lodging Costs. Employees should obtain the best government rate available for lodging. All claims
for overnight accommodations must be substantiated by paid receipts. Actual lodging costs incurred are
reimbursable but shall not exceed 125% of the highest federal lodging rate for the locality of travel
(excluding taxes).
DAS will publish an annual listing of lodging rates and meal rates for the most commonly visited cities. A
table of lodging and meal rates for the most common cities visited is attached. The lodging costs, excluding
taxes, should not exceed these rates. Sales taxes should not be paid by Milwaukee County employees for
hotels in Wisconsin. Taxes paid outside of Wisconsin may be included in costs for reimbursement.
The basis for the County Hotel rates are Federal per diem rates. The Federal rates are the rates provided to
Federal employees for their travel reimbursement. The County procedure allows for a higher per diem rate,
since "Federal Government" rates at hotels are not always available to Milwaukee County employees.
Employees should ask if the Government rate applies when booking reservations at hotels. The rates will
appear on quotes as "Government" rates.
There are two exceptions to the lodging rate limits, as noted below. If you do not meet the exceptions, the
Department of Administrative Services will not reimburse you for any costs that exceed the maximum County
hotel rate, as provided by DAS.
Exception 1 - Rooms at Conference Hotels are exempt from limits of Item 1, if a group hotel
rate was provided for the conference.
56.05 (5) Lodging costs associated with a group discount at a conference hotel shall be exempt from this
provision.
The travel expense report should identify if the hotel cost was for a conference hotel, with a group rate.
The explanation field to the right of Hotel costs on the travel expense report can be used to state this
reason. If no explanation is provided, then it will be assumed that the hotel rate will follow the policy in Item
1.

Exception 2 - Department Heads may grant an exception to Hotel rate limits
56.05 (5) Department heads may grant waivers to the lodging reimbursement limit upon submission to DAS of a written
explanation as to the factors necessitating the higher lodging charges.
The additional information in the Travel Expense report should identify that the hotel rate did not meet the County hotel
rate limit, and provide a reason that the Department Head is granting an exemption. The Department Head should
sign the expense report as acknowledgement of the request for exemption from the County Hotel rate limit.

If the city you are travelling to is not listed on the attached schedule, please contact Susan Walker (278-
4193) in DAS for the allowable hotel rate.
Please remember that Ordinance 56.05 states that "An individual traveling on official business is expected to
exercise the same care in incurring expense that a prudent person would exercise if on personal business."
The hotel chosen for travel on County business should be reasonable. The hotel limits provided in the policy
are maximum amounts. More often than not, County employees should be able to book a hotel at less than
the policy limit.
MEAL AND INCIDENTAL EXPENSES
The maximum rate for tips was increased from 15 percent to 20 percent. Please keep in mind that tips count
towards the daily limit on reimbursement for meals and incidental expenses.
USE OF COUNTY CONTRACTED TRAVEL AGENCY
The County no longer contracts with travel agencies; therefore, the use of a travel agency is at the discretion
of each department head.
If you have any questions regarding the updated travel policies, please let me know.

Subject: Proposed language for Contingency Funds
Here is my proposed paragraph. I am also attaching the latest draft of the memo on the updated quarterly
fiscal report. A contingency balance of $2.25 million was placed into a non-departmental org unit. The
funds were reserved in previous quarters reports for possible union negotiation settlements. No funds were
included in departmental budgets for salary settlements. Our concern is with the unions and if they would
consider the funds held for departmental needs (contingency funds of $2.25 million ), now being made
available, to be negotiating in bad faith.
Charges to Other County Departments (Org 1935): The budget for 2009 included $2.25 million of
additional contingency funds for departmental needs including salaries, fringes and other costs.
These funds are now considered available to offset departmental losses. Previous quarters fiscal
reports had reserved these funds for salary and fringes on proposed union settlements. All union
contracts were up for renegotiation as of January 1, 2009. The 2009 budget did not include any
future wage or fringe settlement proposal in departmental accounts. A contingency for potential
settlements was included in this account. Projected salary settlements provided to County Board
committees in the beginning of 2009 was for an average 2009 settlement of 1% or $2.6 million.
Therefore, this amount was reserved for potential salary settlements. Union contracts currently
being proposed are calling for no wage increase in 2009. As a result, the updated fiscal report
makes these funds available for offsetting other departmental fiscal issues. If union contract
settlements require 2009 funding, this contingency will be reduced.
Here is a draft of the overall surplus deficit memo.

Cynthia: You should plan for us to be in the Coggs space during the months of J anuary and February, 2010.
As the appeal process evolves, well adjust accordingly if need be.

As for the signing of the lease, I have to involve the Department of Administration, who will handle
negotiations and have final approval/sign-off. I am copying Dave Helbach and Peter Maternowski on this
email. They are with DOA and will handle the lease from this point forward.

Thanks for considering the two month option.

Tom, I think the below answers your questions. Please know that your staff has been provided detailed
spreadsheets on all of this if you really want to get into the nitty gritty of it I am sure they can provide that
to you.
I have attached a draft lease for two months. I don't need a signed lease right now but I do need to know if
I should plan in the County's 2010 Budget that the State will be in this space for J an and Feb. If not, I have
a revenue hole and will need to make adjustments asap to make up for it.
I realize this is a bigger issue with appeals, etc. I am not involved in that. I am just trying to finish the

Cindy: Thanks for the response. Can you give me just a general definition of the "maintenance" and
"information technology" sections? For instance, what differentiates the maintenance form the
housekeeping? Is the Info Technology cost based on a certain amount of computer workstations? If so, what
are you basing it on?
Thanks for your assistance.

us to remain in the 1220 W. Vliet St. location for a three month period, beginning 1/1/2010 thru 3/31/2010.

spreadsheets on all of this if you really want to get into the nitty gritty of it I am sure they can provide that to
you.
I have attached a draft lease for two months. I don't need a signed lease right now but I do need to know if I
should plan in the County's 2010 Budget that the State will be in this space for Jan and Feb. If not, I have a
revenue hole and will need to make adjustments asap to make up for it.
I realize this is a bigger issue with appeals, etc. I am not involved in that. I am just trying to finish the county
budget based on what I know right now. If I get no indication that the State is going to stay and make the
below payments, I will assume the space is empty and proceed accordingly.

Cost per sq foot is $14.17 which includes space, utilities, copy machines, fax machines, security, etc... all
outlined in Chuck's spread sheet. Three State people were here late last week to discuss shared costs for
2010 with Chuck, and Clare. They indicated the State was willing to pay a full quarter ...just wanted to pass
that along. They are not folks who can render a decision though.
Made some additional changes to the contract, should be ready by 1:30.

Subject: Town Hall Meeting
Good Afternoon All,
I would like to clarify some remarks that were attributed to me that were spoken at last week's
town hall meeting on the 2151 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Drive site. It has always been a
department priority to insure that we find a location that meets the needs of our clients and the
programs they depend on and provides an open and friendly place for our members to come and
receive services.
We also wanted to ensure that our facility would be centrally located and easily accessible by all
of our clients. Another key goal was to ensure that our facility would comply with all ADA
requirements and would be easily accessed by people with disabilities. Additionally we wanted to
get the best lease price so as not to create an added burden on the taxpayers. Based on the client
data in our possession, a "targeted zone" was created. The top proposals all are located in this
zone.
At one time, it appeared to us that Milwaukee County was moving in a direction of filling the space
that was to be vacated by the Income Maintenance workers. As the attached May 12 letter to
Secretary Karen Timberlake from Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors Chairman Lee Holloway
clearly states, he set the record straight by strongly articulating the county's interest in
leasing the Marcia P.Coggs Center to us. Since the RFP was announced, we have continued to
receive various communications from the Milwaukee County administration and the Milwaukee County
Board expressing their interest.

DRAFT

To: Members of Personnel Committee

In two weeks I will be submitting my recommendations for the 2010 County Budget. As
has been widely reported, the County is facing significant fiscal challenges this year, next
year and for the foreseeable future if we fail to address the factors contributing to our
structural problems.

The 2010 budget process began with a projected gap of $90 million. The primary factors
creating this gap were projected wage and benefit increases. In 2010 alone, employee
projected to increase in excess of $25 million. A report issued yesterday by the Financial
Forecasting workgroup that included DAS staff, County Board staff, a representative of
the Public Policy Forum and others indicates that the County will face a structural deficit
of almost $153 million by 2014 if the County fails to adopt sustainable structural
changes that address the factors driving our budget pressures. As noted in the report,
without substantial reform, fringe benefit costs alone will account for 20% of total county
expenditures by 2014.

It is clear that structural reform is required to ensure the solvency of Milwaukee County.
It is also clear that meaningful reform must include an exhaustive review of all
components of Milwaukee Countys wage and benefit structure. In recognition of the
rapid escalation in employee benefit costs and the impact these cost have on our ability to
provide services to the citizens we represent, the County Board recently passed, and I
signed, a resolution to create a workgroup to examine the current employee/retiree
benefit structure and develop recommendations on methods and strategies to control
these costs. While I supported this effort and understand that deliberate study is required
when analyzing certain types of potential benefit changes, I believe we can do more. We
can take immediate action now to curtail some aspects of our benefit costs. Further, I do
not believe we should limit reform to employee/retiree benefits. Meaningful reform must
include changes to the entire wage structure as well.

The 2010 Budget I will be submitting later this month will include a number of policy
recommendations related to wage and benefit reform. As members of the Committee on
Personnel, I am requesting your careful consideration of these initiatives for inclusion in
the Countys collective bargaining process. I have refrained from making
recommendations that should most appropriately be studied by the employee benefit
workgroup, however, I believe there are improvements that should be pursued now
related to wages, employee contributions for health care and pension cost and overtime
provisions that exceed what is required by federal law.

COUNTY OF MILWAUKEE
INTEROFFICE COMMUNICATION
DATE September 9,2009
TO Supervisor Lee Holloway, Chairman, Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors
FROM Scott B. Manske, Controllcr
SUBJECT: 2009 Fiscal Report as of June 30, 2009 (Second Quartcr Projections) - UPDATED
Policy Issue
County Ordinance 56.02(2) requires the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to
"report, on a quarterly basis or in a manner determined to be most useful and effective, on the
financial condition of the county, which report shall identify all major variances from the
adopted budget on a department-by-department basis." To comply with this ordinance, DAS
provides a projection of year-end financial results on a quarterly basis to the County Board and
County Executive. The County's current fiscal ycar ends on December 31, 2009. For each fiscal
year, the County prepares a balanced budget in which revenues equal expenditures. Therefore, a
report of surplus or deficit for the County represents actual results that are in total above
(surplus) or below (deficit) net budgeted funds.
Year-end Projection
On July 22,2009, DAS provided the Finance and Audit Committee with the 2009 second quarter
fiscal projections. At that time, DAS was projecting a year-end 2009 deficit of ($3.8) million.
The Second Quarter 2009 Fiscal Report was based on actual results thru June 30, 2009, with
projections made by departments for a full fiscal year of activity. The Controller's office
determined that instead of a full update of the second qumter fiscal report, major departments
would be contacted to determine if any significant changes had occurred in departmental fiscal
results since June 30, 2009. Based upon the updates received from departments and analysis of
other non-departmental accounts, Milwaukee County's projected year-end fiscal status for 2009
is a deficit of ($6.2) million.
It should be noted that the updated projections assume no wage increases for 2009. In addition,
the projections assume that the entire balance in the Unallocated Contingency Fund of $7.8
million will be available to offset deficits in other areas. This treatment of the Contingency Fund
is consistent with the prior projcctions prepared for 2009.
The primary factors contributing to the $2.4 million incrcase in the projected dcficit include the
following:
Salcs tax revenue (Org 1996): Based upon the six months of sales ta.'( collections for 2009,
it is projected that total sales tax revenue will be approximately $7.0 million under the
budget of$67.9 million. This is an increase in the projected sales tax detkit of$2.3
million, as thc prcvious fiscal report had an estimated dcficit of$4.7 million. Through six
Second Quarter Fiscal Report for 2009
Page 2
September 9, 2009
months, the County has collected $28.9 million, or 43% of its budgeted rcvenues. The
revenues collected are currently 15% below budget and 2008 actuals. The projection of
sales tax collection for the remainder of the year has assumed a decrease of 5% from 2008
actual collections.
Zoo (Org 9500): Based on discussions with Zoo fiscal staff and revenues through the end
of August, the Zoo is projecting a 2009 deficit of ($1.7) million. Due to lower attendance
and decreased sales, the Zoo's projected deficit has increased by $1.4 million from ($0.3)
million to approximately ($1.7) million. The Zoo will reevaluate its projection when final
August financial data is available, and provide an update to the Department of
Administrative Services.
TransitiParatransit System (Org 5605): Bascd on July 2009 fiscal reports from Milwaukee
Transport Services, and discussions with their fiscal staff, the Transit system is projecting a
($1.0) million deficit for 2009. The deficit is being caused by lower passenger revenue,
offset partially by reductions in operating expenditures. Transit had previously projccted
that it would breakeven for 2009. The projected deficit is expected to be $733,000 in the
bus system (fixed route) and $282,000 in the Transit Plus system. The downward trend in
passenger revenues seen in the first quarter, has increased for June and July. MTS has
instituted a purchasing freeze and hiring freeze for maintenance and administrative
positions to try to offset the lost revenue. The deficit is an estimate of the loss after the
impact of the cost controls is considered.
Delinquent Propertv Tax Reserve (Org 1991): Based upon delinquent tax settlements with
municipalities in August 2009, the projected 2009 deficit due to delinquent taxes will be
$3.1 million. This represents a $0.5 million increase over the previous estimate included in
the second quarter report. Except for the City of Milwaukee, fhe County assumes the
delinquent real property taxes for all ofthe other taxing jurisdictions within Milwaukee
County (schools, cities, towns, etc.). The amount of new delinquent taxes assumed in 2009
increased by 13.0% over the prior year. The settlement with municipalities for 2009 and
2008 was $15.4 million and $13.6 million, respectively.
Charges to Other County Departments (Org 1935): The budget for 2009 included a reserve
of $2.25 million for the Department of Administrative charges to other county departments.
Whereas previous projections had assumed this reserve would be utilized; the updated
projections assume these charges will not occur. As a result, these funds are available to
offset the 2009 projected deficit.
Fringe Benefits (Org Unit 1950): The second quarter fiscal report had projected a surplus
of$5.0 million in Fringe Benefits for the County. This projected surplus remains
unchanged as of thc datc of this report. Improvements have occurred in health care
savings, but a planned fund transfer to reducc the Fringe Benefit budget offset this
improvement. The second quarter surplus had included a projected surplus in health care
costs of $4.3 million. An updated projection, based on expenditures thm July 2009,
indicate that the surplus in health care has increased by $1.0 million to $5.3 million. DAS
is planning to submit a fund transfer to reduce expenditures in Fringe Benefits by
Second Quarter Fiscal Report for 2009

September 9, 2009
approximately $1.0 million. Due to a delay in the start of the Aging CMO - Disabilities
Services program., new employees that were to have started in 2009, will not begin until
2010. Thereforc, salary, health and pcnsion costs associated with new hires will have to be
eliminated from the Aging CMO budget and from the Fringe Benefits budget in org 1950.
The reduetion to the Fringe BenefIts budget for Org 1950 is $1.0 million.
Attachment A provides a summarization of the major surpluses and defieits by department. As
sho\'m on Attachment A, other minor changes were also reported for the Register of Decds and
Health and Human Services. As of the date of this report, DAS had not received an updated
projection from the Combined Court Operations; therefore, the projected amount for Combined
Court Operations has not changed from the previous report.
Committee Action
This is an informational report only. This report should be referred to and reviewed by the
Finance and Audit Committee.

Cindy,
When I unfunded the policy advisor, the CEX budget (levy) decreases 22,904 from
2009. When we include the wage and benefit reforms on top of the policy advisor,
his budget decreases (levy) 114,563 from 2009. The narrative will reflect the
second number as the wage and benefit changes are included in all departmental
budgets.

will ultimately be included in our published budget highlight document, but this tells
us which highlights we should work on first. A number of these were included in the
earlier document I did a week or so ago, so some can just be cut and pasted.

Take a look at the outline and fill in any topics you feel should be included under
each heading and then we can develop a plan for getting these done. Did I miss any

I believe you need to discuss this with Steve and J ohn. I can't ever recalled seeing
this voluminous document included in any budget I've ever read. Again, it may be a
helpful tool, but not within the budget document itself. It seem to detract and
clearly distracts the reader from the meat of the budget. Given the number of policy
makers who will actually read the budget... I would say less is best.

COUNTY OF MILWAUKEE
INTEROFFICE COMMUNICATION

DATE : October 17, 2014

TO : Supervisor Elizabeth Coggs, Chair, Finance and Audit Committee

FROM : Steve Kreklow, Fiscal and Budget Administrator

SUBJ ECT : 5 year Forecast

This report is presented on behalf of the Financial Forecasting workgroup.

Issue
Based on a 2009 Budget objective, DAS-Fiscal convened a workgroup to develop a five-year financial
forecast. The workgroup consisted of DAS-Fiscal staff, County Board staff, departmental
representatives as well as external experts. An inexpensive proprietary forecasting model was purchased
and the workgroup began meeting in February 2009. The workgroup has since reached a consensus
regarding the underlying assumptions and finalized the forecast, the results of which are presented
below.

Background
Eight years of actual financial data (1998-2007) and 2 years of budget data (2008-2009) were loaded
into the model from the Countys financial systems. Revenue and expenditure objects were grouped
into a total of 70 account types and assumptions, based on an analysis of prior year history, were
attached to account types. Dependencies between revenues and expenditures were identified and
incorporated into the assumptions. For example, Child Support Revenue was included as a revenue type
and it was linked to always reflect 66% of child support expenditures, based on the current funding
framework.

In developing the assumptions, a variety of fiscal analytical tools were utilized. If a strong correlation
between two variables could be proven, regression was utilized to develop the forecast assumption. A
correlation was considered strong if it had an r-squared (R2) value of greater than .75. If a strong
correlation did not exist, than other methods were explored including arithmetic averages, prior year
budgeted figures or consumer price indexing. The model applies these assumptions to the 2009 adopted
budget, modified for known changes (such as changes resulting from the state budget) or forecasted
changes based and an analysis of budget-to-actuals. Debt service amounts for outstanding bonds are
included as well as projected debt service for future bonding amounts. Attached is a description of the
10 largest expenditure and revenue account types and assumptions as well as a complete annotated list
of assumptions.

The base model utilizing these assumptions is intended to reflect a projection into the future of current
operations. It does not presuppose any change in operations that is not certain. For example, changes to
revenues that are included in the governors budget have been included. Known operational changes,
such as the take-over of income maintenance, are included. However, possible changes such as an
increased sales tax, privatization of certain functions or divestment of assets are not included in the base.
Likewise, the model does not presuppose any changes to the 2009 adopted budget number of positions.

This approach to financial forecasting is different from prior initiatives in several important ways:
A consensus-based approach was utilized building on previous successful work groups between
the executive and legislative branches.
The forecast will be updated annually and used as an on-going financial analysis tool
The model recognizes the Countys statutory requirement to present a balanced budget each year.
So as not to presuppose any policy decisions, the model assumes the budget is balanced using
one-time solutions. The gap presented, therefore, is the true structural deficit. Any policy
decision made that is sustainable, such as the identification of a new revenue source or a more
efficient means of providing a service, reduces that structural deficit in each year of the forecast.

Analysis
Structural Deficit Overview
Utilizing the assumptions discussed above, the model forecasted a $78.4 million deficit for 2010.
Assuming utilization of one-time revenue increases or expenditure reductions, that deficit grows to $153
million by 2014. This is displayed in Chart 1 (next page). The red line represents expenditures, the
blue line revenues and the shaded area, the structural deficit.

While the structural deficit represents a challenge for the County, it is not a new challenge. The County
has experienced budget gaps and not only successfully adopted a balanced budget, but for 8 of the last
10 years, ended the year with a surplus. In order to gauge if the structural deficit will become more
difficult to address, it can be compared to total revenues. In 2010, the structural deficit of $78 million
represents 6% of forecasted
revenues. That percentage
continues to grow through
2013 at which point it
stabilizes off at 10% of
revenues. This is largely
due to a leveling off of the
pension obligation bond
payments and reduced debt
service related to the 2003
debt refinancing.

In fact, as shown in Chart
2, 2010 is the most
challenging of the next 5
years as revenue growth is
actually forecasted to be
zero in part due to the
global economic recession. However, revenues begin increasing in 2011 and revenues and expenditures
will grow at the same rate in 2014. This suggests that while the structural deficit is growing, that growth
will moderate over the next several years. Therefore if the County can develop approximately $150

Structural Deficit Drivers
The structural deficit is the result of expenditure growth outpacing revenue growth as depicted in Chart
2. Over the next five years, expenditures are forecasted to grow 5.5% per year on average while
revenues will grow 3.5%. While the difference between these growth rates decreased and eventually
disappear by 2014, and revenue growth even exceeds expenditure growth in 2015, this improvement is
not great enough to overcome the structural gap between revenues and expenditures so that absent
sustainable changes, the structural deficit persists.

The largest driver of expenditures, particularly for the past 5 years and in the first several years of the
financial forecast are fringe benefits. In 2003, fringe benefits made up 11% of total expenditures. By
2014, those costs will have increased nearly 300% and make up 20% of expenditures as shown in Chart
3. However, due to successful efforts to control healthcare costs and the recent issuance of pension
obligation bonds, assuming 8% annual investment returns, the annual rate of increase for these costs will
decline from 16% in 2010 to 6% by 2014.

A second historical driver of
expenditure increases is general
obligation debt as shown in Chart 4.
The County refinanced its debt in
2003 and put into place caps on
annual debt financing that have
helped maintain credit ratings and
stabilize debt service payments.
However, savings related to the 2003
refinancing were not evenly spread
and beginning in 2008, the County
has had to manage increased debt
service expenditures. Assuming the

Chart 6
current caps remain in place, debt service costs, net pension obligation debt, will have peaked in 2009
and continue to decrease through 2014, returning to 2007 levels. This is included in the forecast and has
mitigated growth in the structural deficit.

Aside from growing slower than
expenditures, revenue growth has been
concentrated in revenue streams
dedicated to program expenditures,
providing the County increasingly less
flexibility as documented in a recent
Public Policy Forum report. In fact,
the single largest revenue type
included in the forecast are revenues
associated with the Care Management
Organization revenues that are linked
to the number of clients served. This
is shown in Chart 5.

As chart 6 shows below, state and
federal revenues, as well as sales and
property taxes have been growing at
much slower rates than programmatic
revenues. Indeed, when adjusted for
inflation, state revenue has actually
steadily decreased while the service
responsibilities largely remain. By
2011, for the first time ever, state
revenues are forecasted to drop below
local revenues.

Summary
The five-year forecast is a valuable
tool to develop consensus around the
fiscal condition of the County and
provide a framework for policy
decisions. While the current model demonstrates a significant structural deficit, it also highlights that
not all trend lines are negative. Revenue growth after 2011 is anticipated to improve; however, absent
sustainable changes, this improvement will not be enough to overcome the deficit.

Attachment A: Ten Largest Revenue and Expenditure Account Types and Assumptions

For each account type, the 2009 budgeted amount is presented along with a brief description, the
assumption and justification for the assumption.

Revenues
The ten largest revenue accounts are provided below and total $1.0 billion. This represents 77% of total
revenues budgeted in 2009.

CMO Revenue $ 261,515,607
All revenue associated with the Department of Aging Care Management Organization (Fund 2)
Forecasted to be 100% of expenditures
As a proprietary fund, revenues must equal expenditures. Expenditures are forecasted based on
account type and revenues track 100% to these changes for all years of the model.

Property Taxes $ 260,237,284
Includes all property tax accounts including the delinquent property tax collections budgeted in
the Treasurers office
3.3% annual increase
Regression based on the correlation between years and actuals from 1998-2008. R2 values was
.96.

Other State Reimbursements $ 88,258,897
The majority of funding in this account type is made up of Other State Grants and
Reimbursements (account 2299). $68.8 million is related to Transit, $5.7M to the District
Attorney and $4.0M to the Sheriff. It also includes Expressway Patrol and Law Enforcement
Training ($1.3M)
Actuals from 2004-2007 have a strong correlation to the revenue totals. R2 value was .75

Airport Revenue $ 78,481,579
All operating revenue associated with airport
100% of expenditures plus the residual as determined by the master lease agreement through 2010.
After 2010, revenue tracks 100% to expenditures
As an enterprise fund, airport revenue must always equal expenditures so the forecast will be on
expenditures. In addition, revenue must exceed expenditures by the amount of the residual master
lease (which expires in 2010)

Sales Tax $67,435,903
All revenue related to the Countys 0.5% sales tax
0% increase in 2010 and 2.36% annual increase thereafter
Assume that in 2010 the economy recovers and the 2009 budgeted amount of sales tax (which
represented a 1.1% increase over 2008 actuals) is achieved. Assume a full recovery in 2011 and
DRAFT
10/17/2014
Page 8

this revenue returns to a forecasted annual increase of 2.36% based on 2002-2008 actuals (.96
R2)

Other Human Services State Reimbursements $ 65,541,282
Includes all human services state reimbursements that are not directly linked to expenditures.
The largest accounts include:
o $10.7M, BHD, Special State Grants MA
o $8.4M, DHHS, Day Care Admin
o $4.2M, BHD, ATR Grant Voucher
o $3.9M, Aging (Fund 1), Other State Grants and Reimbursements
CPI
No correlation could be determined and given the wide variety of revenue sources and
fluctuating year-to year actuals, an increase equivalent to the CPI was utilized.
Many of these accounts are in Income Maintenance so we will have to revisit this series in 2010
to adjust for the state takeover. In this version of the model, it was assumed that income
maintenance expenditures would exceed revenues by the $2.7M (plus 7.5% inflator) required by
the legislation plus an additional $2M in lost fixed cost reimbursements (primarily for IMSD,
space rental and central support overhead)

Long Term Adult Support $ 61,548,674
Revenue accounts related to Medicare waiver programs including CIP, COP, Brain injury waiver
and CRI. There is a corresponding expenditure type.
DHHS provided figures for 2010 based on the phasing out of this program and the transition to
Family Care. Revenues and Expenditures related to this program will be 0 in 2011 as the transition
is complete.
DHHS has developed comprehensive transition plans that detail the transition from these
programs and their associated revenues and expenditures.

BHD Health Revenue $ 54,730,360
All revenue related to the provision of behavioral health medical services. The largest accounts
include:
o $64M in account 3713, Patient Revenue from services performed at the hospital facility
o $18.4M in account 3714, Patient Revenue from services performed in the residential care
facility
o $14.9M in account 3722, Title XIX Capitated Revenue (Medicare)
o $(46M) in account 3767 for the write-off of uncollected revenue
Regression model shows a strong correlation between years and actuals in 2004-2008 (R2 value
of .90).

Basic Community Aids $ 42,034,533
Basic Community Aids revenue received from the state in BHD and DHHS (account 2221)
2010 reduction of $2,800,000 and a 2011 reduction of $2,300,000. 0% increases thereafter.
DRAFT
10/17/2014
Page 9

As part of the transition to Family Care for the disabled, Basic Community Aids will be reduced
$5.1M over two years per our agreement with the state. The average increases from 2006-2008
was less than 0.1% and discussions from with the DHSS fiscal staff indicated they had no reason
to believe that would change in the near future.

State Shared Revenue $ 37,733,754
State Shared revenue received from the state
2010 decrease 1,021,3123 represents adopted state budget amount 36,712,441. 0% increase is
budgeted thereafter
The change from year to year since 2005 has been less than 1% in the negative and positive. The
shared revenue is calculated based on population, equalized property value distribution among
all counties and municipalities. These factors do not change significantly from year to year and
should not greatly impact the stated shared taxes that are received.

Expenses
The ten largest expenditure accounts are provided below and total $1.2 billion. This represents 94% of
total revenues budgeted in 2009.

Salaries and Wages $ 258,973,711
All salaries and wage expenditures. This does not include any benefit, social security or overtime
expenditures.
In the current version of the model, 2010 and 2011 are based on the Countys April 2010 wage
settlement offer. Thereafter assumes an annual 3% salary increase and 1.25% annual step increase.
There is a strong correlation between years and salary and wages. Regression analysis suggests a
1.63% annual increase. However, given the position reductions since 2002, utilizing this assumption
would require an implicit policy decision of continued FTE decreases. As the model is meant to
present the current operations forecasted into the future, it is more accurate for forecasting purposes
to rely on the proposed, current and historical labor agreements and forecast off the previous budget
year. Any reduction in FTEs should be reflected as a what-if scenario as opposed to be included
in the base model.

CMO Purchase of Services $ 241,682,501
Represents accounts 8126 and 8127 for the purchase of services for the Care Management
Organizations clients.
12% annual increase based on average increases from 2007-2008
Due to the one-time expansion in 2009 and relative recent provision of services by the CMO, data is
limited. We are currently reviewing this forecast assumption with the department, as it appears to be
too high. However, as revenues in the model are directly linked to expenditure so that this
assumption has no countywide levy impact.

DRAFT
10/17/2014
Page 10

Healthcare $ 137,609,634
Represents all expenditures related to healthcare (revenues are budgeted under a separate account
type so that this number represents the gross healthcare spend, while the budgeted amount is a net
number that also includes life insurance)
9% annual increase based on feedback from the Employee Benefits Division and analysis of health
care premium increases in Southeast Wisconsin.
Due to significant changes in the management of healthcare benefits at the County, historical actuals
were deemed an unreliable predictor of future costs. Instead, the assumption is based on healthcare
inflation trends throughout southeast Wisconsin. This assumption will be revisited as part of the
2010 budget process as sufficient claims data from the new third party health administrator becomes
available and allows analysis of the impact of improved provider discounts.

Transit Expenditures $121,124,546
Represents all expenditures incurred by the Milwaukee County Transit System.
Based on actuals from 1999-2008, a 1.8% decrease is projected in 2010 and a 2.6% increase is
projected thereafter.
There was a strong correlation between the actuals and years (.97). Based on this analysis it was
determined that the 2010 forecast would need to be adjusted largely due to fuel savings from the
2009 budgeted figures. However, not included in this figure are assumptions related to bus
purchases. As a bus replacement schedule is in place, transit expenditures will be adjusted to reflect
55 bus purchases in 2011 and 40 bus purchases each year thereafter. This reflects a 12-year
replacement cycle as required by federal regulations. The model will be adjusted to reflect these
expenditures. Bus replacement costs in 2010 will not be included as stimulus funds are utilized.

County Service Charges $119,936,802
Represents all interdepartmental cross charge expenditures. The budget abatement in the 1930 non-
departmental account is included in order to correctly align actuals and budget figures. Abatements
are grouped in a separate account type unless the abatement is specifically linked to an expenditure.
In that case, the abatement is placed in the relevant account type. For example, the abatement
related to the pension obligation bonds which is budgeted so that this expense is not double-counted
in the debt service and fringe benefit accounts, is placed in the debt service budget so it increases at
the same rate. The true cost of the pension is then reflected in the pension account type.
County service charges are forecasted to increase at the same rate as salaries and wages.
Crosscharges/abatements are largely staff time being charged to other departments so they should
change in sync with compensation. However the data is not conclusive and changes in prior years is
complicated because of budgeting methodology changes. However, since abatements, which total (-
124,158,008) and internal service charges (14,082,419) are forecasted to increase at the same rate
and largely offset crosscharges, this should not distort the model.

Other Purchase of Services $ 110,811,501
All non CMO purchase of services (8100 account series). Typically these accounts are used for the
purchase of health and human needs services from external agencies. The largest accounts include:
o $32M, Wraparound clients services, BHD (8139)
o $18.7M, Purchase of Services, DCSD (8123)
DRAFT
10/17/2014
Page 11

o $16M, Purchase of services, BHD (8164)
o $8.4M, Purchase of services, DSD (8164)
o $8.1M, Purchase of services, ESD (8123)
CPI is used to forecast this account as no correlation could be established and there were wide
fluctuations year-to-year.

Debt $ 85,688,053
Represents all airport and general obligation debt.
General obligation debt is based on the current debt schedule and is forecasted to grow based on the
self-imposed bonding cap. Airport debt is based only on the airports current debt schedule. DAS
Fiscal is currently working with the airport to develop a long-term bonding projection which will
then be incorporated into the model. As airport revenues are dependent on airport expenses, this
does not distort the model.
The County has a good track record of adhering to debt schedules and maintaining a self-imposed
bonding cap so that these figures can be accurately forecasted.

Long Term Adult Support $ 58,310,516
Expense accounts related to Medicare waiver programs including CIP, COP, Brain injury waiver and
CRI expenditures. There is a corresponding revenue type.
DHHS provided figures for 2010 based on the phasing out of this program and the transition to
Family Care. Revenues and Expenditures related to this program will be 0 in 2011 as the transition
is complete.
DHHS has developed comprehensive transition plans that detail the transition from these programs
and their associated revenues and expenditures.

Pension $ 49,487,358
Represents all expenditures related to pension including pension obligation bond debt payments.
The actuarial projections related to the pension obligation bond issuance were utilized.
Due to the pension obligation bond issuance, pension costs are predictable for the 30-year life of the
bonds. An adjustment has been made in year 5 to account for the refunding anticipated as part of the
issuance. These numbers will be adjusted with each new actuarial valuation.

Other Services $ 48,232,125
All service accounts in the 6000 series except for professional services and utilities.
CPI
Due to the wide variety of types of services provided in these accounts and wide fluctuations, no
correlation could be found.

Cindy,
These numbers are not adjusted for the revenue offset. To be apples and apples, you need to reduce some of
these numbers by 20% (the ones that are county-wide and in departmental budgets). So the increase in fringe
in terms of levy impact, was $28.5M.

Supervisor Sanfelippo,
I am astounded by the comments you attribute to Mr. Thomas. If he actually made such statement, I assure you
it is a complete fabrication. I trust he knew you were a County Supervisor. Our office has been totally
supportive of keeping the IM operations at Coggs and the Director of DHHS worked feverishly to prepare an RFP
and subsequently responded to each and every change his department demanded of us.
We filed an initial appeal of their questionable decision and just the other day sent a second appeal letter. We
have yet to receive even an acknowledgement of our letters.

I attended the meeting regarding the proposed relocation of the IMSD from Coggs to MLK Drive that was held at
the DNR building last night. Mark Thomas from the Dept. of Health Services was there and made a statement
that the reason they had to look for a new site was because the administration from Milw Co told them they
could not stay at Coggs.

I questioned him and asked to him clarify his remarks and to tell us specificaly who said they had to move but of
course he would not name anyone but he was adamant that that is why they were moving.

I think by making a broad statement,"administration" they are leaving it open to be interpretted as coming from
the Exec's office.

The attached is a draft that reflects input from Bill Domina and Chuck Wikenhauser.
Note that the effective date of the transfer of governance is October 1, 2011. I know this is probably later in 2011 than you
would have liked but it corresponds to the end of the Zoological Society's fiscal year and the end of our third quarter.
Also, to be clear, the vision is that the County Zoo and the Zoological Society will merge into a new nonprofit. According to
Chuck, the Zoological Society would cease to exist. In other words, we are not creating a nonprofit corporation that would be
in addition to the Zoological Society -- the two organizations will merge.
The 2010 Budget will make no statement or assumptions about details such as ownership of assets (will the County retain
ownership?), membership of the new Board of Directors, funding commitments in future years, who has responsibility for
capital improvements, how employees will treated, etc. Those issues will be debated and resolved by the Steering Committee,
debated during the 2011 budget process and approved in December 2010 by the Board when the legal documents including
the management lease would be approved. The 2010 budget will be silent on these details The goal in the 2010 Budget is to
simply get a commitment to the policy change not to get sidetracked on all the details.
Lastly, the time line means the policy debate on the details of all this will occur at two points in the process -- one, when you
submit your 2011 Budget which will have to include certain assumptions about funding levels, staff, etc. for the Zoo and again
when the Board ultimately approves the legal documents in December 2010. Under this approach, the budget will drive the
policy debate and the CEX Office representation on the Steering Committee is critical.
Pay particular attention to the second page so you can see how this would unfold as part of the 2011 budget process.
Feedback, comments, or questions would be welcomed.

Tomorrow I will begin my review of budget narratives. Please understand, I will not be reviewing narratives for
technical accuracy, numbers, grammar, etc. I will only be reading them for content, tone and message. I will
count on others to be sure they are technically correct.
In addition there will be select narratives that the CEX Office will want to see (Tim particularly). His review will
be like mine -- content, tone and message. Tomorrow I will let you know the probable narratives the CEX will
want to see.
Please alert your analysts that the CEX Office and my office will be calling for budget information starting next
week. The information being requested will likely be related to an announcement, press conference, etc that the
CEX has planned or may be needed as part of the speech. These announcements will begin as early as next
week. I will do my best to handle these requests myself and not disrupt the work of analysts, but if calls do
come to them from the CEX Office or my office they should be treated as a priority in terms of response.
I have a list in terms of which highlights we need to focus on first per his schedule of announcements and will
send that to you tomorrow. Keep in mind that any highlights we give him now for public appearances can just
be folded into our final highlight document so as not to have to recreate the wheel or duplicate effort.
I know there is a lot going on now in terms of budget production but we must also be responsive to the needs of
the CEX Office as he rolls out his budget. Unfortunately for us, the roll out will begin on Tuesday of next week.
Thanks.

Cindy,
Thanks for the update.
I would just like to ask that any requests for budget information go through me, J ohn (if it's related to the operating budget)
or Pam (if it's related to the capital budget). I think it is important that we're kept in the loop to make sure that the
information we're presenting is accurate and consistent.

Subject: Draft of email re: updated travel policy
The following is a draft email to notify employees of the changes in the travel policy. Please review and let me
know if you would like to make any changes.
In J une, the Board passed Resolution 09-052 revising section 56.05 of the County Ordinances pertaining to limits
on travel and expense reimbursement. Effective for all travel approved after September 7, 2009, employees
must comply with the updated travel ordinance.
The Department of Administrative Services will be updating Administrative Procedure 05.11 - Travel Preparation
Guidelines and Expense Reporting to reflect the change in the Ordinance. The following information is being
provided pending the updates to the Administrative Policy.
LIMITS ON HOTEL RATES
The revised ordinance places a limit on the amount the County will reimburse employees for hotel costs. Per the
ordinance change:
Limit on Lodging Rates - Rates cannot exceed 125% of the highest Federal lodging rate.
56.05 (5) Lodging Costs. Employees should obtain the best government rate available for lodging. All claims for
overnight accommodations must be substantiated by paid receipts. Actual lodging costs incurred are
reimbursable but shall not exceed 125% of the highest federal lodging rate for the locality of travel (excluding
taxes).
DAS will publish an annual listing of lodging rates and meal rates for the most commonly visited cities. A table of
lodging and meal rates for the most common cities visited is attached. The lodging costs, excluding taxes,
should not exceed these rates. Sales taxes should not be paid by Milwaukee County employees for hotels in
Wisconsin. Taxes paid outside of Wisconsin may be included in costs for reimbursement.
The basis for the County Hotel rates are Federal per diem rates. The Federal rates are the rates provided to
Federal employees for their travel reimbursement. The County procedure allows for a higher per diem rate,
since "Federal Government" rates at hotels are not always available to Milwaukee County employees.
Employees should ask if the Government rate applies when booking reservations at hotels. The rates will
appear on quotes as "Government" rates.
There are two exceptions to the lodging rate limits, as noted below. If you do not meet the exceptions, the
Department of Administrative Services will not reimburse you for any costs that exceed the maximum County
hotel rate, as provided by DAS.
Exception 1 - Rooms at Conference Hotels are exempt from limits of Item 1, if a group hotel rate was
provided for the conference.
56.05 (5) Lodging costs associated with a group discount at a conference hotel shall be exempt from this
provision.
The travel expense report should identify if the hotel cost was for a conference hotel, with a group rate. The
explanation field to the right of Hotel costs on the travel expense report can be used to state this
reason. If no explanation is provided, then it will be assumed that the hotel rate will follow the policy in Item 1.

Exception 2 - Department Heads may grant an exception to Hotel rate limits
56.05 (5) Department heads may grant waivers to the lodging reimbursement limit upon submission to DAS
of a written explanation as to the factors necessitating the higher lodging charges.
The additional information in the Travel Expense report should identify that the hotel rate did not meet the
County hotel rate limit, and provide a reason that the Department Head is granting an exemption. The
Department Head should sign the expense report as acknowledgement of the request for exemption from the
County Hotel rate limit.

If the city you are travelling to is not listed on the attached schedule, please contact Susan Walker (278-4193) in
DAS for the allowable hotel rate.
Please remember that Ordinance 56.05 states that "An individual traveling on official business is expected to
exercise the same care in incurring expense that a prudent person would exercise if on personal business."
The hotel chosen for travel on County business should be reasonable. The hotel limits provided in the policy are
maximum amounts. More often than not, County employees should be able to book a hotel at less than the
policy limit.
MEAL AND INCIDENTAL EXPENSES
The maximum rate for tips was increased from 15 percent to 20 percent. Please keep in mind that tips count
towards the daily limit on reimbursement for meals and incidental expenses.
USE OF COUNTY CONTRACTED TRAVEL AGENCY
The County no longer contracts with travel agencies; therefore, the use of a travel agency is at the discretion of
each department head.
If you have any questions regarding the updated travel policies, please let me know.

Introduction

The 2009 Financial Trends Analysis has been prepared by the Milwaukee County Department of
Administration. Through the evaluation of financial indicators, this report provides citizens,
elected officials, and management staff with a big picture perspective of the factors that
determine the financial condition of Milwaukee County. This analysis is based on a adaptation to
the International City/County Management Associations (ICMA) model of evaluating local
government financial condition, as derived from Evaluating Financial Condition: A Handbook
for Local Government (2003). From 1983 to 1998, Milwaukee County published an annual
trends analysis, and this years report reflects renewed efforts to monitor and improve the
Countys financial condition. Returning after roughly a decade, this years report captures
available data for the last five years.

Evaluating Financial Condition
Financial condition refers to a governments ability to (1) maintain existing service levels, (2)
withstand local and regional economic disruptions, and (3) meet the demands of natural growth,
decline and change. Financial condition encompasses four types of solvency: cash, budgetary,
long-run and service-level.
Cash solvency refers to a governments ability to pay its bills over the span of 30 to
60 days.
Budgetary solvency refers to a governments ability to generate enough revenues
over its budgetary period to meet its expenditures and not incur deficits.
Long-run solvency refers to a governments ability to balance long-term revenues and
costs through sound financial decision-making.
Service-level solvency refers to a governments ability to provide services at the
level and quality that are required for the health, safety, and welfare of the community
and that its citizens desire.

Financial Trend Monitoring System
The ICMA employs the Financial Trend Monitoring System (FTMS), which systematizes,
measures and analyzes the various interdependent factors that reflect financial condition. It is
considered to be a management tool that pulls together information from a governments
budgetary and financial reports, combines it with economic and demographic data, and creates a
series of financial indicators that, when plotted over time, can be used to monitor changes in
financial condition and alert the County to further problems. Although the system cannot explain
specifically why a problem is occurring, it does provide flags for identifying problems, clues
about their causes, and time to take anticipatory action.

The FTMS will help citizens, policymakers and financial managers:
Develop a better understanding of its financial condition
Identify hidden and emerging problems before they reach serious proportions
Present a straightforward picture of the Countys financial strengths and weaknesses
Introduce long-range considerations into the annual budgeting process
Provide a starting point for setting financial policies

3
Milwaukee County
The three primary factors that affect financial condition are environmental, organizational, and
financial factors. These interdependent factors are divided into twelve subcategories that
represent causal relationships.

As indicated by the arrows on the figure, environmental factors create the organizational
environment for management practices and legislative policies, which in turn determine financial
factors. Taken together, the factors are a guide to organize the various issues that must be
considered in evaluating financial condition. Associated with the factors are 42 indicators that
measure different aspects of nine of the factors. There are no indicators for political culture or for
external economic condition. The financial indicators are key to monitoring changes in financial
condition. Whether a trend is positive, neutral or negative, it should be understood collectively
with other indicators.

Milwaukee Countys Financial Trend Monitoring System
In 2009, 24 indicators are evaluated for the most recent five consecutive years available. The
five-year period for each indicator will be from FY 2004 to FY 2008, unless noted otherwise. In
each indicator, a description and analysis is presented in narrative form. Accompanying the text
is a chart illustrating the related data, and a detail box that displays the indicators warning trend,
trend health, and formula. Trend health for each indicator is described as positive, neutral, or
negative.

Because it is considered the most reliable financial source for the County, the Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is the source for the majority of the financial and statistical
data presented in this report. This includes audited financial statements and unaudited economic
and statistical data. As for the indicators adjusted for inflation, the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
for the Milwaukee-Racine area is used to project the real growth or decline of the indicators.

The ICMA recognizes that there are many complexities in implementing a system such as this.
For example, adjustments in accounting data may make interpretation of changes difficult. Also,
some of the financial indicators may warrant a referral to the Countys audited comprehensive
annual financial reports for detailed analysis on the year-to year changes. Although this report is
heavily based on ICMAs guidelines, some indicators have been modified to better illustrate the
Countys situation or to use available data.

It is our intention to include the indicators omitted from this report in future year reports. For
quick reference, the table below provides an overview of the trend conclusions.

Milwaukee County - Economic Environment Report, 2004-2008

Summary
The economic base of the Milwaukee metropolitan area, including Milwaukee County, is similar
in many ways to that of other major cities in the upper Midwest such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland,
and Detroit. Prior to the 1970s, the regional economy was based on heavy manufacturing. As
the manufacturing sector has declined nationally since then, the region has struggled to transition
to attract economic growth based on high-tech, light manufacturing and service-oriented
industries.

As in most Midwestern cities, since the 1970s the urban core has seen a relative decline in
economic output and corresponding job losses, while growth has occurred mainly in the
surrounding suburbs. Poverty in the City of Milwaukee doubled from 11 percent in 1970 to 21
percent in 1990, and increased steadily to nearly 25 percent in 2008, 7
th
highest in the nation of
all cities with more than 250,000 residents. In comparison, the neighboring suburban counties
have poverty rates of between 4 and 5 percent
1
.

Economic Environment, 2004-2008
As in much of the country, the economy in Milwaukee County was marked by generally positive
growth, low and stable unemployment, and rapidly rising property values during the 5-year
period from 2004 to early 2008. The Equalized Value indicator illustrates the rapid rise in
property values.

According to the Brookings Institution, the trend towards suburbanization was temporarily
reversed: Milwaukee was one of few regions nationally to see a higher rate of job growth in the
urban core than in the suburbs from 1998 to 2006
2
, a trend shown in the Employment Base
indicator. The expanding economy enabled the countys economic based to diversify, as
evidenced by the Top 5 Taxpayers indicator, none of which is a manufacturer.

The economy slowed slightly going into early 2008 and then declined rapidly in the second half
of the year due to the effects of the global economic downturn. Many of the accompanying
trends account for these factors, requiring the trend health to be classified from positive to
neutral or negative in many cases.

Financial Pressures
In Wisconsin, counties provide a wide variety of services, many of which (health and human
services) are mandated by the state government. The State of Wisconsin and federal government
provide some financial support for these mandated services, however counties often must
provide additional resources from the property tax, local option sales tax, and/or user fees.
Financial support, in both constant and real dollars, from the State for most mandated services
has declined in recent years (note the negative trend for Intergovernmental Revenues). As this

Milwaukee County
support has declined, the County has been forced to replace these funds property taxes and user
fees, and reduce service levels when those alternative resources are not sufficient.

As in other units of government, personnel makes up the largest cost in providing these services.
Milwaukee County has unusually high personnel costs due generous pension benefits granted in
2001 (which were subsequently rescinded for new employees) and health care costs that are
significantly above the national average
3
. The Fringe Benefits indicator illustrates this issue.
Therefore, the County is caught in a position, where its largest expense to maintain any service is
increasing faster than its ability to find alternatives to falling intergovernmental support.

Economic Forecast
The national economic outlook remains uncertain, with most indicators still declining but at
slower rates than earlier in the year. According to the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) fell one percent in the second quarter of 2009, compared to a decline of 5.5
percent in the first quarter, a positive development. The Institute of Supply Management
indicates the rate of contraction in the manufacturing sector on which the regions economy is
still highly dependent has continued to slow through J uly
4
. The rate of decline in home prices
on an annual basis has also continued to slow, and prices rose slightly between J anuary and
J une
5
.

There is no consensus on how long the current downturn will last, but many macro-level
forecasts assume the economy will bottom out in mid to late 2009, followed by a prolonged
period of slow GDP growth that does not produce significant job growth. If the countys
economic base can continue to diversify, and if the manufacturing sector plays a major role in a
recovery, the Countys economic outlook will greatly improve.

The Countys five-year fiscal forecast incorporates many of these indicators and makes similar
broad assumptions. For instance, real estate transaction fees and recording revenues in the
Office of the Register of Deeds are projected to continue to decline sharply in 2010 before rising
slowly. Other revenues, such as from recreation-based fees and investment income also continue
to decline in 2010 and then grow slowly in the following years. Interest and penalties on
delinquent property taxes however have increased sharply since 2008 and are forecasted to
continue to climb steadily.

On the expenditure side, demand for social services such as child support, mental health
programs, income maintenance services, and public safety can be expected to increase, putting
further pressure on the Countys overall fiscal position (see indicator Expenditures by Function).
The Health and Human Services function for instance accounted for 52 percent of total County
expenditures in 2008 and is forecast to require nearly 60 percent by 2020.

The 2010 budget has also taken these economic trends into account. Most of the revenue objects
noted above have been reduced to reflect the economic environment. Investment revenue is
reduced due to continued low interest rates, revenues in the Office of the Register of Deeds is
reduced to reflect the continued slump in the real estate market, and revenue from delinquent
property taxes is increased by more than 20 percent.

Community Needs and Resources encompass various economic and demographic characteristics
including population, employment, personal income, property value, and business activity. Tax
base determines a communitys wealth and ability to generate revenue, while economic and
demographic characteristics affect community demands, such as public safety, capital
improvements, and social services.

Changes in community needs and resources are interrelated in a continuous, cumulative cycle of
cause and effect. An example of this is the effect that declining populations would have on
housing demands and values in housing markets, which in turn reduces property tax base.
Community needs and resources are difficult to translate into indicators because the data is not
readily available. The indicators detailed in this section represent only those for which data is
reasonably available.

For example, an examination of local economic and demographic characteristics can identify the
following types of situations:

A declining tax base and correspondingly, the communitys ability to pay for public
services.

A need to shift public service priorities because of demographic changes or change in the
type or density of physical development.

A need to reassess public policies because of a loss in competitive advantage of the
Countys businesses to surrounding communities or other changes in regional or national
economic conditions.

POPULATION
Description
Population change can directly affect economic factors such as
employment, income, housing and business activity, and in turn
affect governmental revenues. The interrelationship between these
factors tends to give population decline a cumulative negative
effect on revenues. A sudden increase in population can create
immediate pressures for higher levels of service, while decline in
population is likely to have a negative affect on revenues.

Census figures for Milwaukee County are included for the years 1990 and 2000. For intercensal
years, annual estimates of the Countys population are made by the Wisconsin Department of
Administration based on data including housing units, dormitory and institutional populations,
automobile registrations, residential electric meters, and others.

Analysis
The trend is considered positive because to the Countys population essentially remained the
same over the 5-year period. Since the sharp population decline between 1990 and 2000, there
have been minor increases and decreases in population. The 2008 population estimate of 938,490
is a decrease of 868 from the 2004 estimate. Population does not appear to be the cause of any
significant changes in the service demands of Milwaukee County residents.

PERSONAL INCOME PER CAPITA
Description
Personal income per capita is one measure of a communitys
ability to pay taxes. Generally, the higher the per capita
income, the more property tax, sales tax, and business tax the
community will generate. If income is evenly distributed, a
higher per capita income will usually mean a lower
dependency on government services. A decline in per capita
income results in loss of consumer purchasing power and can
provide advance notice that businesses, especially in the retail
sector, will suffer a decline that can ripple through the rest of
the Countys economy. Rating agencies use per capita income
as an important measure of the Countys ability to repay debt.

Analysis
The trend is positive with a gradual increase of personal income per capita. When measured in
constant dollars, personal income per capita increased by $1,104 or 6.3% from 2004-2008. This
reflects the fact that Milwaukee residents have more disposable income available to purchase
goods and services. The period of 2004-2005 was the only period in which the indicator did not
increase.

POVERTY

Description
The percentage of the total population living below the federal
poverty level is used to measure a communitys standard of
living, employment and income. In addition to measures of
overall change in personal income, the poverty rate can signal
a future increase in the level and unit cost of some services.
This is accredited to the fact that low-income individuals have
relatively higher needs and a relative lack of personal wealth.
The following data on poverty are from the Small Area Income
and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) of the U.S Census Bureau.

Analysis
Historically, Milwaukees poverty rate has been relatively high compared to other large U.S
cities. The poverty rate skyrocketed to 20.2% during the economic downturn of the early 2000s
and since then has hovered around 18%, giving the indicator a neutral rating. Although the
personal income per capita rate has steadily increased over the last 4 years, the poverty rate has
not decreased at the same rate. This infers increasing economic inequality among Milwaukee
citizens. In addition, the recent increase in poverty as caused by the current economic recession
is not reflected in this years analysis.

EQUALIZED VALUATION
Description
The Wisconsin Department of Revenue annually adjusts or
equalizes the assessed values of all property subject to general
property taxes to reflect true market value. Current real estate
selling prices provide the basis for determining equalized
valuation and are used to adjust overall assessed values. Changes
in property value are important because the County depends on
the property tax for a total of 23% (2008) of its general fund
operating revenues. The extent to which the decline will ripple
through the communitys economy, affecting other revenues
such as those from sales tax, is more difficult to determine. A
decline in property value will most probably not be a cause but a
symptom of other, underlying problems.

Analysis
Between 2004 and 2007, the equalized valuation increased at an annual percentage of 7.5%.
From 2007 to 2008, the Countys equalized valuation decreased by roughly $976 million dollars,
or 2.8% from the prior year. One year of a declining valuation does not signal a negative trend,
but this indicator must be monitored closely. Notwithstanding the Countys dependence on
property tax revenues, a small decline in equalized valuation would not greatly affect this
revenues source. Property rates would need to be adjusted to adjust for the lower property tax
base, and in order to produce the property tax revenues adopted as part of the annual budget
process.

TOP FIVE TAXPAYERS
Description
This indicator measures the concentration of property values in
the County and helps to analyze the vulnerability of the
economic base to the fortunes of a few taxpayers. The bond
rating agencies use this indicator to determine the degree of
concentration. The leading taxpayers are profiled and assessed
for their direct and indirect effects on the local economy. If the
County relies heavily on a few taxpayers for property taxes, it is
vulnerable to any changes in these taxpayers assessments.
Generally, the County may have cause for concern if the top five
taxpayers hold more than 5% of the Countys equalized property
value.

Analysis
The five-year trend is positive based on the Countys diverse tax base. The rate decrease in 2006
is not due to the relocation of any company but because of reduced market values for each of the
top 5 taxpayers from 2005. With slightly over 2% of property values held by the top five
taxpayers, the trend is still positive. As of December 31, 2008, the top 5 taxpayers include:
1. Bayshore Town Center, LLC
2. Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co.
3. Mayfair Property Inc
4. US Bank Corporation
5. Marcus Corporation/Milwaukee City Center/Pfister

EMPLOYMENT BASE
Description
Changes in the rate of employment of the communitys
citizens are related to changes in personal income, and are a
measure of the health of the local business sector. A decline
in employment base, as measured by unemployment and
number of jobs available, can be an early warning signal that
overall economic activity and County revenues may be
declining. A stable or growing employment base indicates a
healthy local economy.

Analysis
The trend is with three years of improving health. Similar to
other community-based indicators, the employment base was negatively impacted from the
recession of the early 2000s, only to rebound, but not to pre-2000 levels. In this indicator, the
variables of unemployment rate and number of jobs have a negative correlation. So as the
number of jobs increased by an average of xxx annually from 2004-2008, the unemployment rate
decreased by an average of xxx annually. Lastly, the impact of the current economic recession is
not captured in this data.

Revenue

Revenue determines the capacity of the County to provide services. Important issues to consider
with respect to revenue are economic growth, diversity, reliability, flexibility, and
administration. Under ideal conditions, revenue should be growing at a rate equal to or greater
than the combined effects of inflation and expenditures. Revenue should be sufficiently
unrestricted to allow for necessary adjustments to changing conditions. Revenue should be
balanced between elastic and inelastic sources with respect to economic base and inflation. Some
revenue sources should grow with the economic base and inflation, while others should remain
relatively constant. Revenue sources should be diversified so as not to be overly dependent on
residential, commercial, or industrial land uses, or external funding sources such as Federal
grants or discretionary State aid.

Analyzing the Countys revenue structure will help to identify the following types of problems:

Deterioration of revenue base

Practices or policies that may adversely affect revenue yields

Overdependence on obsolete or external revenue sources

Changes in tax burden on various segments of the population

Poor revenue estimating practices

Inefficiency in the collection and administration of revenue.

The indicators detailed can be used to monitor changes in revenue.

OPERATING REVENUES PER CAPITA
Description
Per capita revenues show changes in revenues relative to
change in population size. Operating revenues for this indicator
consist of two fund types: governmental and enterprise. This
analysis is limited to governmental funds in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). As
population increases, it may be expected that the need for
services would increase proportionately and, therefore, the
level of per capita revenue should remain at least constant in
real terms. If per capita revenue is decreasing, it would be
expected that the County would be unable to maintain existing service levels unless it finds new
revenue sources or efficiency savings. This analysis assumes that the cost of services correlates
to population size.

Analysis
The trend is neutral after three years of steady increases, followed by a small decrease in 2008.
Changes in the Countys population do not appear to be creating the need for greater service
provisions and is therefore not a major factor in revenue collections. The revenue per capita
increase is primarily due to increases in property taxes, investment income and charges for
services.

PROGRAMMATIC REVENUES
Description
A programmatic revenue is legally earmarked for specific use,
as often required by State and/ or County law. Programmatic
revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given function or segment and (2)
grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
operational or capital requirements of a particular function or
segment. For example, the State of Wisconsin requires that
capital cost-sharing grants be used only for street maintenance
or construction. As the percentage of programmatic revenue
increases, the County loses its flexibility to respond to
changing conditions and to citizens needs and demands.

Analysis
The trend is negative, as the indicator has climbed above 66% over the past two years. The cause
for the notable increase is due to the increase in charges for services. From 2006 to 2007, this
revenue source rose by 47%, from $229 million to $337 million. The County must monitor this
indicator over the future years to detect and prevent any additional increases.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES
Description
Intergovernmental revenues are received from other
governmental entities and normally have profound impacts on
the Countys budget. Local governments with budgets largely
supported by intergovernmental revenues are vulnerable to
revenue reductions over which they have no control and are
left with the dilemma of cutting programs or funding them
from general fund revenues. An overdependence on
intergovernmental revenues can also have an adverse impact
on financial condition due to restrictions or stipulations that the
other governmental entity attaches to the revenue. The primary
concern in analyzing intergovernmental revenues is to identify
and monitor the Countys vulnerability to reductions of such revenues, and to determine whether
the County is controlling its use of the revenues or whether these revenues are controlling the
County.

Analysis
Although the Countys intergovernmental revenues have on average, declined over the past 4
years, the decline does not implicate profound programmatic impacts. Since 2004,
intergovernmental revenues have decreased by 4.5% due to the faster rate of growth for general
fund operating revenues. The County must monitor this indicator in the future to detect any
negative trends, which could be a cause for concern.

GENERAL COUNTY PROPERTY TAX LEVY
Description
Property tax is an important revenue source to consider when
evaluating financial condition. Property tax revenue represents the
Countys largest discretionary revenue source and is used for
general purposes. As such, it is important to consider whether tax
levy is keeping pace with inflation, in this case compared to the
rise in CPI.

Analysis
The property tax levy in current dollars has been increasing at
stable rate of 3.3 percent annually, slightly higher than the 3
percent annual increase in the CPI. The reduction in constant dollars in 2008 is related to the
higher than average increase in the CPI for 2008 of 4.5 percent. Inflation remains relatively low,
indicating the decline in constant dollars in 2008 may have been an anomaly. This trend should
be monitored if inflation continues to rise at a rate much higher than 3 percent.

Description
Municipalities initially collect all property taxes including
County, sewerage district and school taxes. The County
purchases all delinquent taxes from its municipalities and
assumes the collection responsibility. The tax collection
procedure with the City of Milwaukee is the only exception
from the procedure mentioned above. (The City and County
have an intergovernmental cooperation agreement, whereby
the City collects all delinquent real estate taxes in the City of
Milwaukee.) A percentage of property taxes are not collected
for potential reasons such as the inability of property owners to
pay and/or inadequate collections methods of local
governments. If this percentage increases over time, it may indicate overall decline in the
communitys ability to pay for local government services.

Analysis
The delinquency tax rate has increased for three consecutive years, giving this indicator a
negative health rating. This trend has been closely monitored, and the County Treasurer has
recently boosted collection efforts to correct the matter. The data reflecting these efforts are not
captured in this years analysis. The County maintains a reserve to offset uncollected property
taxes, so this trend is more reflective of the overall declining economy and the deteriorating
housing market.

Expenditures

The first issue to consider is the expenditure growth rate to determine whether the County is
operating within its revenues. Since Milwaukee County is required to have a balanced budget, it
would seem unlikely that expenditure growth would exceed revenue growth. Nevertheless, the
County may balance its annual budget yet create a long-run imbalance in which expenditure
outlays and commitments grow faster than revenues. Some of the more common ways in which
this type of imbalance occurs are to use bond proceeds for operations, use reserves, and defer
maintenance on streets, buildings, or other capital stock, or by deferring funding of future
liabilities. In each of these cases, the annual budget remains balanced, but the long-run budget
develops a deficit.

A second issue to consider is expenditure flexibility, which is a measure of the Countys freedom
to adjust its service levels to changing conditions, and considers the level of mandatory and fixed
costs. Ideally, the County will have an expenditure growth rate that does not exceed its revenue
growth rate, and will have maximum flexibility to adjust spending. An increase in mandatory
costs such as debt service, matching requirements, pension benefits, and state and Federal
mandates will find the County less able to make adjustments.

Analyzing Milwaukee Countys expenditure profile will help identify the following types of
problems:

Excessive growth of overall expenditures as compared to revenue growth

An undesired increase in fixed costs

Ineffective budgetary controls

A decline in personnel productivity

Excessive growth in programs that create future expenditure liabilities.

The indicators detailed can be used to monitor changes in expenditures.

OPERATING EXPENDITURES PER CAPITA
Description
Per capita expenditures reflect changes in expenditures relative to
changes in population. Increasing per capita expenditures may
indicate that the cost of providing services is outstripping the
communitys ability to pay, especially if spending is increasing
faster than the Countys tax base. If the increase in spending is
greater than would be expected from inflation or the addition of
new services, it can be an indicator of declining productivity. Any
combination of the above variables would have the same overall
effect. Operating expenditures for this indicator consist of two
fund types: governmental and enterprise. This analysis is limited to
governmental funds in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP).

Analysis
After a decline in 2005 from 2004, expenditures per capita increased consecutively from 2005-
2008 at an average of $17 or 3 percent per year. This trend occurred without any significant
changes in population or additional services, but is generally in line with the average annual CPI
increases of 3 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, given that the
number of employees has declined while fringe benefits have risen annually (see relevant
trends), this suggests expenditures are rising while the level or quality of service may be
declining.

EXPENDITURES BY FUNCTION

Description
Expenditures by function shows a detailed breakdown of the Countys general governmental
expenditures. Tracking this data can be useful in analyzing developing trends that may indicate
need for further attention or resources. Shifting trends may reflect efforts to address goals and
objectives, specific needs of the community, or may indicate an underlying problem that requires
a shift in focus and/or resources.

Analysis
The five-year trend is relatively stable and there are several functional areas worth detailing. The
ratio for Legislative, Executive and Staff reduced by 1.9%, while the ratio for Health and Human
Services increased by 5.4% from 2004 to 2008.

EMPLOYEES PER CAPITA
Description
Personnel costs are the largest portion of the Countys
operating budget. Tracking changes in the number of
employees per capita is a way to measure changes in
expenditures. An increase in employees to population may
indicate that expenditures are rising faster than revenues, the
County is becoming more labor intensive, or that productivity
is declining. Tracking this measure may also be important
during times of change or fiscal austerity. The number of full-
time employees as used in this indicator is defined as the total
number of County employees minus the number of seasonal workers. Employee totals include
both active and inactive employees. For example, some inactive employees may be on leaves of
absence without pay but have not yet terminated their employment.

Analysis
The number of County employees has steadily decreased over the last three years. Based on 2008
staffing levels, there is approximately one County employee for every 189 County residents. Due
to the Countys fiscal condition and rising costs, steps have been taken to reduce the number of
budgeted employees and abolish vacant positions. While decreasing employees per capita
reduces costs, the impact on services must be considered.

FRINGE BENEFITS
Description
Fringe benefits often comprise a significant portion of
operating costs, often amounting to more than 30% of total
labor compensation. Direct benefits consist of health and life
insurance, contributions to social security, unemployment
insurance, workers compensation, pension payments and other
miscellaneous benefits. Because the funding and recording of
fringe benefits is a complex process, these costs can escalate
unnoticed, straining the Countys finances. In particular, the
cost of providing health insurance has risen at dramatic rates
for public and private employers in recent years. And requires
careful monitoring.

Analysis
The trend is negative due to the Countys high fringe benefit costs, mainly related to the health
benefits granted to retirees who started employment before 1994 and to the granting of enhanced
pension benefits in 2001. Upon the granting of these pension benefits, the County experienced a
high number of early-age retirements, which have led to high retiree medical costs. The County
has reduced its workforce since then, exacerbating this trend. According to the Employee Benefit
Research Institute, fringe benefits as a percentage of salaries and wages were 52 percent for state
and local government employees nationwide in 2008, where Milwaukee Countys was 79
percent.

DEPRECIATION
Description
Depreciation is the cost associated with the use of a fixed asset
over its useful life. Depreciation should remain a relatively
stable portion of asset cost assuming older assets, which are
fully depreciated, are removed from service and replaced with
newer assets. If depreciation costs start to decline as a portion
of asset cost, the assets are probably being used beyond their
useful lives, the estimated useful lives had been initially
underestimated, or the scale of operations was reduced.

Analysis
The trend is neutral. The ratio of depreciation expenses to fixed asset costs has remained
relatively stable over the 5-year period.

Operating Position

Operating position refers to the Countys ability to balance its budget on a current basis, maintain
reserves for emergencies, and maintain sufficient cash to pay its bills on a timely basis.

During a typical year, a local government will usually generate either an operating surplus, when
revenues exceed expenditures, or an operating deficit, when expenditures exceed revenues. An
operating surplus or deficit may be created intentionally as a result of a policy decision, or may
be created unintentionally because of difficulties in precisely forecasting revenues and
expenditures. As required by State Statutes, surpluses and deficits are rolled forward into the
next budget adopted by the County.

Many local governments develop reserves through the accumulation of operating surpluses and
provide financial security in the event of loss of a revenue source, economic downturn,
unanticipated expenditure demands due to natural disasters, insurance loss, unexpected large-
scale capital expenditures or other non-recurring expenses, or uneven cash flow. Reserves may
be budgeted in a contingency account or carried as a part of one or more fund balances. The
County currently has the statutory authority to carry over fund balances from year to year.

Liquidity refers to the flow of cash in and out of the County treasury. The County receives many
of its revenues in large installments at infrequent intervals during the year. Excess liquidity or
cash reserves are a valuable cushion against an unexpected delay in receipt of revenues, an
unexpected decline or loss of a revenue source, or an unanticipated need to make a large
expenditure.

An analysis of operating position can help identify the following situations:

A pattern of operating deficits.

A decline in reserves.

Ineffective revenue forecasting techniques.

Ineffective budgetary controls.
.
The indicators detailed can be used to monitor changes in operating position.

OPERATING DEFICIT OR SURPLUS
Description
An operating deficit or surplus occurs when current
expenditures exceed current revenues or are lower than current
revenues. A deficit does not always mean that the budget will
be out of balance, because reserves from prior years can be
used to cover the difference. An operating deficit in any one-
year period may not be cause for concern, but frequent and
increasing deficits can indicate that current revenues are not
supporting current expenditures and that serious problems may
lie ahead.

Analysis
After an operating deficit in 2004, the County has managed a
surplus from 2004 to 2008. In addition, the surpluses have been at acceptable standards.

LIQUIDITY
Description
A measure of the Countys short-run financial condition is its
cash position, which includes cash on hand and in the bank, as
well as other assets that can be easily converted to cash, such
as short-term investments. This is also known as liquidity,
which measures the Countys ability to pay its short-term
obligations. The immediate effect of insufficient liquidity is
insolvency; the inability to pay bills, and indicates that the
County has overextended itself in the long term.

Analysis
The trend is positive, as the County has increased its liquid
assets available to meet short-term needs. The County Treasurer has pursued a strategy that
focuses on short-term investments with low fees (such as certificates of deposit) and high
liquidity. Many of these short-term investments have been tied closely to the Fed Funds rate,
which steadily increased from 1 percent to 5 percent between 2004 and 2008. Largely due to
these rate increases, net investment income available to the Countys general fund rose from $3.5
million in 2004 to $13.5 million in 2007. The slight decrease in 2008 is related to interest rate
reductions due to the economic downturn, therefore this indicator should be monitored closely.

Debt Structure

Debt can be an effective tool to finance capital improvements and to even out short-term revenue
flows, but its misuse can cause serious financial problems. Even a temporary inability to repay
debt can result in loss of credit rating, increased borrowing costs, and loss of autonomy to State
and other regulatory bodies.

The most common forms of long-term debt are general obligation, special assessment, and
revenue bonds. When the County issues debt for capital projects, it must ensure that aggregate
outstanding debt does not exceed the communitys ability to pay debt service as measured by the
wealth of the community. Also to be considered are overlapping debt and other jurisdictions
debts against which the government has pledged its full faith and credit.

Under the most favorable circumstances, the Countys debt should be proportionate in size and
growth to the tax base; should not extend past the useful life of the facilities which it finances;
should not be used to balance the operating budget; should not require repayment schedules that
put excessive burdens on operating expenditures; and should not be so high as to jeopardize the
Countys credit rating.

An examination of the Countys debt structure can reveal the following conditions:

Inadequacies in cash management procedures.

Inadequacies in expenditure controls.

Decreases in expenditure flexibility due to increased fixed costs in the form of debt
service.

Use of short-term debt to finance current operations.

Sudden large increases or decreases in future debt service.

The amount of additional debt that the community can absorb.

The indicators detailed can be used to monitor changes in debt structure.

CURRENT LIABILITIES
Description
Current liabilities are the sum of all liabilities due at the end of the
fiscal year, including short-term debt; current portion of long-term
debt, all accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current
liabilities. Although short-term borrowing is an accepted way to
deal with uneven cash flow, an increasing amount of short-term
debt outstanding at the end of successive years can indicate
liquidity problems, deficit spending, or both.

Analysis
The trend is positive, as operating revenues have increased by an
average of 13.9 percent annually between 2004 and 2007, while
current liabilities have increased by an average of 6.9 percent annually. The trend can stay
positive so long as revenue grows faster than the growth in current liabilities. Due to the
Countys healthy liquidity levels, no short-term borrowing is needed to finance current liabilities.

LONG-TERM DEBT
Description
Net direct debt is bonded long-term debt minus self-supporting
debt (e.g enterprise debt). The equalized valuation is the most
generally available measure of County wealth. Generally, long-
term debt should not exceed the Countys resources for paying
debt service. An increase in net direct bonded long-term debt
as a percentage of equalized valuation can mean that the
Countys ability to repay is diminishing.

Analysis
The trend is positive because the County continues to
implement a conservative approach to issuing long-term debt.
This approach has helped reduce the Countys cost to issue debt because rating agencies view
this limited debt load positively, and allows the County to use resources for other services that
would otherwise go to servicing a large amount of debt.

DEBT SERVICE
Description
Debt service is defined as the amount of principal and interest that
the County must pay each year associated with its outstanding
debt. Increasing debt service reduces expenditure flexibility by
adding to the Countys obligations. Debt service can be a major
part of the Countys fixed costs and its increase may indicate
excessive debt and fiscal strain.

Analysis
The trend is negative because the ratio of debt service to operating
revenues has steadily increased. The County has a low level of
long-term debt as a percentage of valuation (see previous
indicator), indicating there may be an issue with operating revenues. Issues of further debt should
analyze whether operating revenues can support the debt service load.

OVERLAPPING DEBT

Description
Overlapping net debt is the net direct debt of all local
government jurisdictions that is issued against a tax base
within Milwaukee County. Examples of other jurisdictions that
overlap the County are the City of West Allis, the Village of
Brown Deer, Milwaukee Area Technical College, and MMSD.
The level of overlapping debt is only that debt applicable to the
property shared by the two jurisdictions. The overlapping debt
indicator measures the ability of the Countys tax base to repay
the debt obligations issued by all of its governmental and
quasi-governmental jurisdictions.

Analysis
The trend is positive. The value of the tax base has risen faster than combined bonded debt,
indicating an improving ability to repay outstanding obligations. Because this indicator increased
in 2008, it should be monitored closely.

A contingent liability is an existing condition or situation whose ultimate disposition may not be
known or does not have to be paid until a future year, and for which reserves have been set aside.
A contingent liability is similar to debt in that it represents a legal commitment to pay in the
future. Due to the potential magnitude, if these types of obligations grow substantially over time,
they can have a significant impact on the Countys financial condition.

The contingent liabilities considered here are significant because they are not readily apparent in
ordinary financial records, making it difficult to assess their respective impacts. Additionally, the
contingent liabilities may accumulate gradually over time, making it difficult to notice them until
the problem is severe.

An analysis of the Countys unfunded liabilities can reveal the following:

An increase in the Countys pension liability.

Inadequacies in pension plan contributions, pension system assets, and whether the
investment earnings are keeping pace with the growth in benefits.

An increasing amount of unused employee vacation and sick leave.

Inadequacies of County policies for payment of unused vacation and sick leave as
compared to the Countys ability to pay.

An increase in the amount of lawsuits and other claims against the County.

The indicators detailed on the following pages can be used to monitor changes in unfunded
liabilities.

Milwaukee County

PENSION OBLIGATIONS
Description
The Countys main pension plan (Employee Retirement
System or ERS) represents a significant long-term expenditure
obligation. The present value of the projected cost of pension
benefits earned by employees is known as the actuarial
accrued liability. The difference between this amount and the
actuarial value of the resources of the pension plan is known as
the unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL). As a rule, the
actuarially determined annual required contribution (ARC) is
the measure of pension cost accrued as expense by employers
in their financial statements. If the County fails to fully fund the ARC in any given period, a net
pension obligation is reported in the statement of net assets to reflect the under-funding.

Analysis
The trend is neutral in the long term. The large drop in the UAAL as a percentage of salaries
shown above includes $397 million in assets from the sale of Pension Obligation Bonds (POBs)
by the County in April 2009, and 20 percent of 2008 market losses, totaling $486 million, that
are amortized over 5 years. Were the POB assets not included and the market losses not
amortized, the UAAL trend line for this indicator would show a significantly more negative
trend.

PENSION ASSETS
Description
Pension assets are held primarily as cash or investments. A

Analysis
Like the previous indicator, the 2008 data above include
POB assets added to the plan in April 2009, and the five-year
amortization of $486 million in market losses in CY 2008.
The funded ratio declined significantly between 1999 (when
the funded ratio was 130 percent) and 2007. As with the
previous indicator, the positive trend is related to a one-time

maintaining a world-class zoo in Milwaukee. Therefore, it is the intent of both organizations to
build on their existing successful public/private partnership by jointly creating an independent,
non-for-profit corporation that will effectively manage the long-term operational needs and
programmatic offerings of a great zoo and preserve it for the visiting public long into the future.
This new combination of resources will more efficiently serve the residents of Milwaukee
County and the members of the Zoological Society of Milwaukee.


In full cooperation with the Zoological Society of Milwaukee, authorize the creation of a not-
for-profit corporation to assume operation and management of the Milwaukee County Zoo
effective October 1, 2011.

Create a Steering Committee/Workgroup to oversee the development of draft legal
documents and establish the process necessary to implement the change in governance. Draft
legal documents include the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and Lease and Management
Agreement.

The Steering Committee/Workgroup would consist of:
Representatives of the Zoological Society and their Counsel
Chief of Staffs from CEX and County Board Chair Office

Establish as the Co-Chairs of the Steering Committee the Chief Corporation Counsel of
Milwaukee County and a representative of the Zoological Society.

required. The Zoological Society of Milwaukee will provide similar funding for any
additional outside consultants if needed.

Authorize the Steering Committee/Workgroup to form subcommittees, as required, to
develop transition plans necessary to complete the successful transition from County &
Zoological Society management and operation to management and operation by the newly
created not-for-profit corporation. Plans to be developed shall include the manner in which
administrative functions currently provided by the County and Society and the assets owned
by each respective organization are to be transitioned to the new corporation.

Direct the Steering Committee Workgroup to develop the draft documents necessary to
implement the transition of Zoo governance , for submission to and to submit these documents
for review and approval to the Milwaukee County Parks, Environment and Energy Committee,
the Milwaukee County Finance and Audit Committee, and the Executive Board of the Zoological
Society of Milwaukee by no later than December 2010.

Subject: Re: 2010 Budget
Cindy,
I would like to clarify that the meeting I attempted to set up with Greg was intended to
review privatization and any other initiatives that require union notification and
determine the format and the timing of fulfilling that notification requirement. During
the budget briefings you had asked me to coordinate this process and that's why I was
scheduling this meeting. If you no longer want me to do that, it's fine with me as long
as this step does not get overlooked.
Based on your last e-mail in the string below I get the sense that you are concerned
that I won't adequately defend the CEX's wage and benefit reform proposal after it is
released because I argued that it is not consistent with sound budgeting practices and
urged the CEX not include it in his recommended budget unless he also included
alternative budget reductions. I thought it would be helpful for me to lay out what I
can and will say about the reform proposal.
1. Based on our analysis some modifications to the County wage and benefit structure
will be necessary in order correct the County's structural deficit.
2. According to Corporation Counsel the CEX does have the legal authority to
incorporate the assumptions included in this wage and benefit proposal into his
recommended budget.
3. I can explain how the savings estimates were calculated and incorporated in the
recommended budget.
4. I think I will probably be asked about the impact on the 2010 budget if the unions
do not accept the CEX's proposal. If I am, I would have to indicate that a $30 million
gap in the 2010 budget would result and that as many as 800-1000 lay offs would be
necessary in order to close that gap and avoid ending the year with a deficit.
I won't be able to answer questions about how this package fits in to the County's
negotiating strategy or comment on the likelihood that the unions will accept this
proposal. I also think that because this is a more a labor relations issue than a budget
issue, either you or the CEX's Office should take the lead on presenting this reform
package and explaining the rationale for including it in the recommended budget.
Thanks.

To be clear. This is a budget issue that you will be expected to understand and explain
if called upon as is the case with any other budget issue. I am not suggesting that you
can wash your hands of it. I am saying that any meetings on communicating what will
be in the budget on this issue should only be handled by my office or the CEX Office.
The same is true for labor strategy meetings.

those meetings. I'll ask J ennifer Mueller to call you and set something up next week.

I think I sent this to your hotmail accidentally.
See below. I need to know that we are all on the same page -- that all costs are
covered through operational savings in J acks budget, that IMSD and DHSS will be
made whole and that we have accounted for moving costs, IT costs, etc. Based on
what I heard today, that is the case and we are good to go. Please confirm.

Subject: Clarification
Based on what I heard in the briefing with SKW this AM, the operational savings related
to vacating City Campus on April 1 will be sufficient to fill the budget hole of
approximately $1.3 million in DHSS/IMSD and hence those budgets will be made whole
on this issue for 2010.
There was no discussion on moving costs or IT costs. Am I to assume those costs will
also be covered through the operational savings since I heard Steve say we are
budgeting no dollars for the sale of the land?
I am not so much interested in all the detail but I want to make sure there that the
2010 includes what is needed to avoid any surprises or holes.
Please advise.

According to the calendar the budget goes to the printer in two weeks. I understand
that I to get draft narratives on Friday. Please proivde me a list of narratives I am to
receive on Friday so I can plan.

I am concerned that I am not getting narratives until they are "final" -- based on the
timeline that indicates I have only five days to review all narratives, there is no way I
can wait to review all narratives when they are final at the same time I am working on
the speech and reviewing the hotspots and the highlights and be done by the time the
budget needs to go to print Since I will not be reviewing narratives for numbers or
detail and my review is only for general content, tone and message, I believe my
review needs to occur occur simultaneously with Steve. Keep in mind that some
narratives will also be reviewed by the CEX Office.

In any event, I need a schedule of what I be receiving and when so I can plan. Please
get me something by the end of Thursday (tomorrow).

The numbers J ack gave us yesterday indicate about a $1.5 million savings from
mothballing City Campus. Vince is reviewing the numbers to make sure they're
realistic. Assuming the $1.5 million number is good, it will be enough to cover the hole
in the DHHS/IMSD budgets and provide $200,000 to $300,000 for relocation expenses.

Thanks Cindy.
One item which struck me during cabinet we have not discussed is the significant effort
in moving each person and any moves associated with shifting individuals to allow new
staff into a facility. We will have a great deal of work in rerouting voice
communications routing and phone punch-downs as well as data reconnects. It will be
critical we are involved in all planning steps along the way so we can be both ready for
any moves and can control costs with proper planning. Some of these efforts will
involve AT&T, CCN and MWF vendors. Our costs increase dramatically when we rush
orders through them.
We should also discuss operational costs for these voice and data moves... I will try to
get some rough numbers we would project for this effort. It will not be as dramatic as
relocating the fiber, but I would easily put it in the $20-40K range by the time all
moves are done.

The numbers J ack gave us yesterday indicate about a $1.5 million savings from
mothballing City Campus. Vince is reviewing the numbers to make sure they're
realistic. Assuming the $1.5 million number is good, it will be enough to cover the hole
in the DHHS/IMSD budgets and provide $200,000 to $300,000 for relocation expenses.

Cynthia: You should plan for us to be in the Coggs space during the months of January
and February, 2010. As the appeal process evolves, well adjust accordingly if need be.

As for the signing of the lease, I have to involve the Department of Administration, who
will handle negotiations and have final approval/sign-off. I am copying Dave Helbach
and Peter Maternowski on this email. They are with DOA and will handle the lease from
this point forward.

Tom, I think the below answers your questions. Please know that your staff has been
provided detailed spreadsheets on all of this if you really want to get into the nitty
gritty of it I am sure they can provide that to you.
I have attached a draft lease for two months. I don't need a signed lease right now but
I do need to know if I should plan in the County's 2010 Budget that the State will be in
this space for J an and Feb. If not, I have a revenue hole and will need to make
adjustments asap to make up for it.
I realize this is a bigger issue with appeals, etc. I am not involved in that. I am just
trying to finish the county budget based on what I know right now. If I get no
indication that the State is going to stay and make the below payments, I will assume
the space is empty and proceed accordingly.
Thanks

The cost of $109,439 quoted to the State of Wisconsin for ESD support at the Coggs
Building is based primarily on two metrics including telephone lines and 233

Please note the correction to the prior e-mail:
1. The Humana Dental annual maximum benefit: $1,000.
2. The FCW annual maximum : Unlimited. (This is the Plan that is withdrawing from
the Milwaukee market).
3. Annual Savings estimate for dropping the Care Plus DMO to a $1,500 annual
maximum: $350,000. (This estimate was done internally and we are currently
working with the Care Plus underwriters to confirm it, but we think it is reasonable. If
it changes substantially by their financial people, we will let you know)

DAS (Archer/Kreklow/Manske) have reached consensus that any funds left at end
should to go sales tax and not contingency. Ideally, we need to find about $2.0 million
therefore budgeting sales tax at or around $65 million. Manske is comfortable with
that. Stay tuned.

Dennis,
I have noting but good things to say about your departments handling of our settlement
process.
We ran into roadblocks but with your staff help, were able to keep moving down the
road.
We finished way ahead of last year and the process seemed to get much clearer and
cleaner this year.
And, with the good communication we established with municipal Treasurers and IT
people, it looks even better for next year.
My commendation to Becky Ludwiczak and J ennifer L Warnier for their critical thinking
skills, dedication to excellence, team work, and hard work.
Thank you.

Dear Ms. Archer,
My name is Peter Ruud. Yesterday, I spoke with Lynn Vanden Langenberg
who mentioned that I should forward you my resume. I recently moved
to Milwaukee, and I am currently looking for opportunities to gain
further professional experience. I am a recent graduate (May 2008) of
the University of Wisconsin Green Bay, with a major in economics and
a minor in business administration.
I have experience in a wide range of positions from working with
children to banking and finance, most recently with Baylake Bank in
Green Bay, WI. I show a history of being a dedicated employee who
learns quickly and takes pride in a job well done. As I am new to the
area, I appreciate any assistance that you may be able to provide me.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to discuss any
opportunities that may be known to you. Thank you for your time.

I have a meeting at 7:30 AM and I need to report where we are at. Pam just told me
that the debt re-estimate is roughly $2.0 million to the good and the TIF # is

Introduction

The 2009 Financial Trends Analysis has been prepared by the Milwaukee County Department of
Administration. Through the evaluation of financial indicators, this report provides citizens,
elected officials, and management staff with a big picture perspective of the factors that
determine the financial condition of Milwaukee County. This analysis is based on a adaptation to
the International City/County Management Associations (ICMA) model of evaluating local
government financial condition, as derived from Evaluating Financial Condition: A Handbook
for Local Government (2003). From 1983 to 1998, Milwaukee County published an annual
trends analysis, and this years report reflects renewed efforts to monitor and improve the
Countys financial condition. Returning after roughly a decade, this years report captures
available data for the last five years.

Evaluating Financial Condition
Financial condition refers to a governments ability to (1) maintain existing service levels, (2)
withstand local and regional economic disruptions, and (3) meet the demands of natural growth,
decline and change. Financial condition encompasses four types of solvency: cash, budgetary,
long-run and service-level.
Cash solvency refers to a governments ability to pay its bills over the span of 30 to
60 days.
Budgetary solvency refers to a governments ability to generate enough revenues
over its budgetary period to meet its expenditures and not incur deficits.
Long-run solvency refers to a governments ability to balance long-term revenues and
costs through sound financial decision-making.
Service-level solvency refers to a governments ability to provide services at the
level and quality that are required for the health, safety, and welfare of the community
and that its citizens desire.

Financial Trend Monitoring System
The ICMA employs the Financial Trend Monitoring System (FTMS), which systematizes,
measures and analyzes the various interdependent factors that reflect financial condition. It is
considered to be a management tool that pulls together information from a governments
budgetary and financial reports, combines it with economic and demographic data, and creates a
series of financial indicators that, when plotted over time, can be used to monitor changes in
financial condition and alert the County to further problems. Although the system cannot explain
specifically why a problem is occurring, it does provide flags for identifying problems, clues
about their causes, and time to take anticipatory action.

The FTMS will help citizens, policymakers and financial managers:
Develop a better understanding of its financial condition
Identify hidden and emerging problems before they reach serious proportions
Present a straightforward picture of the Countys financial strengths and weaknesses
Introduce long-range considerations into the annual budgeting process
Provide a starting point for setting financial policies

3
Milwaukee County
The three primary factors that affect financial condition are environmental, organizational, and
financial factors. These interdependent factors are divided into twelve subcategories that
represent causal relationships.

As indicated by the arrows on the figure, environmental factors create the organizational
environment for management practices and legislative policies, which in turn determine financial
factors. Taken together, the factors are a guide to organize the various issues that must be
considered in evaluating financial condition. Associated with the factors are 42 indicators that
measure different aspects of nine of the factors. There are no indicators for political culture or for
external economic condition. The financial indicators are key to monitoring changes in financial
condition. Whether a trend is positive, neutral or negative, it should be understood collectively
with other indicators.

Milwaukee Countys Financial Trend Monitoring System
In 2009, 24 indicators are evaluated for the most recent five consecutive years available. The
five-year period for each indicator will be from FY 2004 to FY 2008, unless noted otherwise. In
each indicator, a description and analysis is presented in narrative form. Accompanying the text
is a chart illustrating the related data, and a detail box that displays the indicators warning trend,
trend health, and formula. Trend health for each indicator is described as positive, neutral, or
negative.

Because it is considered the most reliable financial source for the County, the Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is the source for the majority of the financial and statistical
data presented in this report. This includes audited financial statements and unaudited economic
and statistical data. As for the indicators adjusted for inflation, the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
for the Milwaukee-Racine area is used to project the real growth or decline of the indicators.

The ICMA recognizes that there are many complexities in implementing a system such as this.
For example, adjustments in accounting data may make interpretation of changes difficult. Also,
some of the financial indicators may warrant a referral to the Countys audited comprehensive
annual financial reports for detailed analysis on the year-to year changes. Although this report is
heavily based on ICMAs guidelines, some indicators have been modified to better illustrate the
Countys situation or to use available data.

It is our intention to include the indicators omitted from this report in future year reports. For
quick reference, the table below provides an overview of the trend conclusions.

Milwaukee County - Economic Environment Report, 2004-2008

Summary
The economic base of the Milwaukee metropolitan area, including Milwaukee County, is similar
in many ways to that of other major cities in the upper Midwest such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland,
and Detroit. Prior to the 1970s, the regional economy was based on heavy manufacturing. As
the manufacturing sector has declined nationally since then, the region has struggled to transition
to attract economic growth based on high-tech, light manufacturing and service-oriented
industries.

As in most Midwestern cities, since the 1970s the urban core has seen a relative decline in
economic output and corresponding job losses, while growth has occurred mainly in the
surrounding suburbs. Poverty in the City of Milwaukee doubled from 11 percent in 1970 to 21
percent in 1990, and increased steadily to nearly 25 percent in 2008, 7
th
highest in the nation of
all cities with more than 250,000 residents. In comparison, the neighboring suburban counties
have poverty rates of between 4 and 5 percent
1
.

Economic Environment, 2004-2008
As in much of the country, the economy in Milwaukee County was marked by generally positive
growth, low and stable unemployment, and rapidly rising property values during the 5-year
period from 2004 to early 2008. The Equalized Value indicator illustrates the rapid rise in
property values.

According to the Brookings Institution, the trend towards suburbanization was temporarily
reversed: Milwaukee was one of few regions nationally to see a higher rate of job growth in the
urban core than in the suburbs from 1998 to 2006
2
, a trend shown in the Employment Base
indicator. The expanding economy enabled the countys economic based to diversify, as
evidenced by the Top 5 Taxpayers indicator, none of which is a manufacturer.

The economy slowed slightly going into early 2008 and then declined rapidly in the second half
of the year due to the effects of the global economic downturn. Many of the accompanying
trends account for these factors, requiring the trend health to be classified from positive to
neutral or negative in many cases.

Financial Pressures
In Wisconsin, counties provide a wide variety of services, many of which (health and human
services) are mandated by the state government. The State of Wisconsin and federal government
provide some financial support for these mandated services, however counties often must
provide additional resources from the property tax, local option sales tax, and/or user fees.
Financial support, in both constant and real dollars, from the State for most mandated services
has declined in recent years (note the negative trend for Intergovernmental Revenues). As this

Milwaukee County
support has declined, the County has been forced to replace these funds property taxes and user
fees, and reduce service levels when those alternative resources are not sufficient.

As in other units of government, personnel makes up the largest cost in providing these services.
Milwaukee County has unusually high personnel costs due generous pension benefits granted in
2001 (which were subsequently rescinded for new employees) and health care costs that are
significantly above the national average
3
. The Fringe Benefits indicator illustrates this issue.
Therefore, the County is caught in a position, where its largest expense to maintain any service is
increasing faster than its ability to find alternatives to falling intergovernmental support.

Economic Forecast
The national economic outlook remains uncertain, with most indicators still declining but at
slower rates than earlier in the year. According to the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) fell one percent in the second quarter of 2009, compared to a decline of 5.5
percent in the first quarter, a positive development. The Institute of Supply Management
indicates the rate of contraction in the manufacturing sector on which the regions economy is
still highly dependent has continued to slow through J uly
4
. The rate of decline in home prices
on an annual basis has also continued to slow, and prices rose slightly between J anuary and
J une
5
.

There is no consensus on how long the current downturn will last, but many macro-level
forecasts assume the economy will bottom out in mid to late 2009, followed by a prolonged
period of slow GDP growth that does not produce significant job growth. If the countys
economic base can continue to diversify, and if the manufacturing sector plays a major role in a
recovery, the Countys economic outlook will greatly improve.

The Countys five-year fiscal forecast incorporates many of these indicators and makes similar
broad assumptions. For instance, real estate transaction fees and recording revenues in the
Office of the Register of Deeds are projected to continue to decline sharply in 2010 before rising
slowly. Other revenues, such as from recreation-based fees and investment income also continue
to decline in 2010 and then grow slowly in the following years. Interest and penalties on
delinquent property taxes however have increased sharply since 2008 and are forecasted to
continue to climb steadily.

On the expenditure side, demand for social services such as child support, mental health
programs, income maintenance services, and public safety can be expected to increase, putting
further pressure on the Countys overall fiscal position (see indicator Expenditures by Function).
The Health and Human Services function for instance accounted for 52 percent of total County
expenditures in 2008 and is forecast to require nearly 60 percent by 2020.

The 2010 budget has also taken these economic trends into account. Most of the revenue objects
noted above have been reduced to reflect the economic environment. Investment revenue is
reduced due to continued low interest rates, revenues in the Office of the Register of Deeds is
reduced to reflect the continued slump in the real estate market, and revenue from delinquent
property taxes is increased by more than 20 percent.

Community Needs and Resources encompass various economic and demographic characteristics
including population, employment, personal income, property value, and business activity. Tax
base determines a communitys wealth and ability to generate revenue, while economic and
demographic characteristics affect community demands, such as public safety, capital
improvements, and social services.

Changes in community needs and resources are interrelated in a continuous, cumulative cycle of
cause and effect. An example of this is the effect that declining populations would have on
housing demands and values in housing markets, which in turn reduces property tax base.
Community needs and resources are difficult to translate into indicators because the data is not
readily available. The indicators detailed in this section represent only those for which data is
reasonably available.

For example, an examination of local economic and demographic characteristics can identify the
following types of situations:

A declining tax base and correspondingly, the communitys ability to pay for public
services.

A need to shift public service priorities because of demographic changes or change in the
type or density of physical development.

A need to reassess public policies because of a loss in competitive advantage of the
Countys businesses to surrounding communities or other changes in regional or national
economic conditions.

POPULATION
Description
Population change can directly affect economic factors such as
employment, income, housing and business activity, and in turn
affect governmental revenues. The interrelationship between these
factors tends to give population decline a cumulative negative
effect on revenues. A sudden increase in population can create
immediate pressures for higher levels of service, while decline in
population is likely to have a negative affect on revenues.

Census figures for Milwaukee County are included for the years 1990 and 2000. For intercensal
years, annual estimates of the Countys population are made by the Wisconsin Department of
Administration based on data including housing units, dormitory and institutional populations,
automobile registrations, residential electric meters, and others.

Analysis
The trend is considered positive because to the Countys population essentially remained the
same over the 5-year period. Since the sharp population decline between 1990 and 2000, there
have been minor increases and decreases in population. The 2008 population estimate of 938,490
is a decrease of 868 from the 2004 estimate. Population does not appear to be the cause of any
significant changes in the service demands of Milwaukee County residents.

PERSONAL INCOME PER CAPITA
Description
Personal income per capita is one measure of a communitys
ability to pay taxes. Generally, the higher the per capita
income, the more property tax, sales tax, and business tax the
community will generate. If income is evenly distributed, a
higher per capita income will usually mean a lower
dependency on government services. A decline in per capita
income results in loss of consumer purchasing power and can
provide advance notice that businesses, especially in the retail
sector, will suffer a decline that can ripple through the rest of
the Countys economy. Rating agencies use per capita income
as an important measure of the Countys ability to repay debt.

Analysis
The trend is positive with a gradual increase of personal income per capita. When measured in
constant dollars, personal income per capita increased by $1,104 or 6.3% from 2004-2008. This
reflects the fact that Milwaukee residents have more disposable income available to purchase
goods and services. The period of 2004-2005 was the only period in which the indicator did not
increase.

POVERTY

Description
The percentage of the total population living below the federal
poverty level is used to measure a communitys standard of
living, employment and income. In addition to measures of
overall change in personal income, the poverty rate can signal
a future increase in the level and unit cost of some services.
This is accredited to the fact that low-income individuals have
relatively higher needs and a relative lack of personal wealth.
The following data on poverty are from the Small Area Income
and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) of the U.S Census Bureau.

Analysis
Historically, Milwaukees poverty rate has been relatively high compared to other large U.S
cities. The poverty rate skyrocketed to 20.2% during the economic downturn of the early 2000s
and since then has hovered around 18%, giving the indicator a neutral rating. Although the
personal income per capita rate has steadily increased over the last 4 years, the poverty rate has
not decreased at the same rate. This infers increasing economic inequality among Milwaukee
citizens. In addition, the recent increase in poverty as caused by the current economic recession
is not reflected in this years analysis.

EQUALIZED VALUATION
Description
The Wisconsin Department of Revenue annually adjusts or
equalizes the assessed values of all property subject to general
property taxes to reflect true market value. Current real estate
selling prices provide the basis for determining equalized
valuation and are used to adjust overall assessed values. Changes
in property value are important because the County depends on
the property tax for a total of 23% (2008) of its general fund
operating revenues. The extent to which the decline will ripple
through the communitys economy, affecting other revenues
such as those from sales tax, is more difficult to determine. A
decline in property value will most probably not be a cause but a
symptom of other, underlying problems.

Analysis
Between 2004 and 2007, the equalized valuation increased at an annual percentage of 7.5%.
From 2007 to 2008, the Countys equalized valuation decreased by roughly $976 million dollars,
or 2.8% from the prior year. One year of a declining valuation does not signal a negative trend,
but this indicator must be monitored closely. Notwithstanding the Countys dependence on
property tax revenues, a small decline in equalized valuation would not greatly affect this
revenues source. Property rates would need to be adjusted to adjust for the lower property tax
base, and in order to produce the property tax revenues adopted as part of the annual budget
process.

TOP FIVE TAXPAYERS
Description
This indicator measures the concentration of property values in
the County and helps to analyze the vulnerability of the
economic base to the fortunes of a few taxpayers. The bond
rating agencies use this indicator to determine the degree of
concentration. The leading taxpayers are profiled and assessed
for their direct and indirect effects on the local economy. If the
County relies heavily on a few taxpayers for property taxes, it is
vulnerable to any changes in these taxpayers assessments.
Generally, the County may have cause for concern if the top five
taxpayers hold more than 5% of the Countys equalized property
value.

Analysis
The five-year trend is positive based on the Countys diverse tax base. The rate decrease in 2006
is not due to the relocation of any company but because of reduced market values for each of the
top 5 taxpayers from 2005. With slightly over 2% of property values held by the top five
taxpayers, the trend is still positive. As of December 31, 2008, the top 5 taxpayers include:
1. Bayshore Town Center, LLC
2. Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co.

EMPLOYMENT BASE
Description
Changes in the rate of employment of the communitys
citizens are related to changes in personal income, and are a
measure of the health of the local business sector. A decline
in employment base, as measured by unemployment and
number of jobs available, can be an early warning signal that
overall economic activity and County revenues may be
declining. A stable or growing employment base indicates a
healthy local economy.

Analysis
The trend is with three years of improving health. Similar to
other community-based indicators, the employment base was negatively impacted from the
recession of the early 2000s, only to rebound, but not to pre-2000 levels. In this indicator, the
variables of unemployment rate and number of jobs have a negative correlation. So as the
number of jobs increased by an average of xxx annually from 2004-2008, the unemployment rate
decreased by an average of xxx annually. Lastly, the impact of the current economic recession is
not captured in this data.

Revenue

Revenue determines the capacity of the County to provide services. Important issues to consider
with respect to revenue are economic growth, diversity, reliability, flexibility, and
administration. Under ideal conditions, revenue should be growing at a rate equal to or greater
than the combined effects of inflation and expenditures. Revenue should be sufficiently
unrestricted to allow for necessary adjustments to changing conditions. Revenue should be
balanced between elastic and inelastic sources with respect to economic base and inflation. Some
revenue sources should grow with the economic base and inflation, while others should remain
relatively constant. Revenue sources should be diversified so as not to be overly dependent on
residential, commercial, or industrial land uses, or external funding sources such as Federal
grants or discretionary State aid.

Analyzing the Countys revenue structure will help to identify the following types of problems:

Deterioration of revenue base

Practices or policies that may adversely affect revenue yields

Overdependence on obsolete or external revenue sources

Changes in tax burden on various segments of the population

Poor revenue estimating practices

Inefficiency in the collection and administration of revenue.

The indicators detailed can be used to monitor changes in revenue.

Milwaukee County

OPERATING REVENUES PER CAPITA
Description
Per capita revenues show changes in revenues relative to
change in population size. Operating revenues for this indicator
consist of two fund types: governmental and enterprise. This
analysis is limited to governmental funds in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). As
population increases, it may be expected that the need for
services would increase proportionately and, therefore, the
level of per capita revenue should remain at least constant in
real terms. If per capita revenue is decreasing, it would be
expected that the County would be unable to maintain existing service levels unless it finds new
revenue sources or efficiency savings. This analysis assumes that the cost of services correlates
to population size.

Analysis
The trend is neutral after three years of steady increases, followed by a small decrease in 2008.
Changes in the Countys population do not appear to be creating the need for greater service
provisions. As a result, it is clear that the revenue per capita increase is primarily due to increases
in intergovernmental revenues, property taxes, and charges for services.

PROGRAMMATIC REVENUES
Description
A programmatic revenue is legally earmarked for specific use,
as often required by State and/ or County law. Programmatic
revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given function or segment and (2)
grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
operational or capital requirements of a particular function or
segment. For example, the State of Wisconsin requires that
capital cost-sharing grants be used only for street maintenance
or construction. As the percentage of programmatic revenue
increases, the County loses its flexibility to respond to
changing conditions and to citizens needs and demands.

Analysis
The trend is negative, as the indicator has climbed above 66% over the past two years. The cause
for the notable increase is due to the increase in charges for services. From 2006 to 2007, this
revenue source rose by 47%, from $229 million to $337 million. The County must monitor this
indicator over the future years to detect and prevent any additional increases.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES
Description
Intergovernmental revenues are received from other
governmental entities and normally have profound impacts on
the Countys budget. Local governments with budgets largely
supported by intergovernmental revenues are vulnerable to
revenue reductions over which they have no control and are
left with the dilemma of cutting programs or funding them
from general fund revenues. An overdependence on
intergovernmental revenues can also have an adverse impact
on financial condition due to restrictions or stipulations that the
other governmental entity attaches to the revenue. The primary
concern in analyzing intergovernmental revenues is to identify
and monitor the Countys vulnerability to reductions of such revenues, and to determine whether
the County is controlling its use of the revenues or whether these revenues are controlling the
County.

Analysis
Although the Countys intergovernmental revenues have on average, declined over the past 4
years, the decline does not implicate profound programmatic impacts. Since 2004,
intergovernmental revenues have decreased by 4.5% due to the faster rate of growth for general
fund operating revenues. The County must monitor this indicator in the future to detect any
negative trends, which could be a cause for concern.

Description
Municipalities initially collect all property taxes including
County, sewerage district and school taxes. The County
purchases all delinquent taxes from its municipalities and
assumes the collection responsibility. The tax collection
procedure with the City of Milwaukee is the only exception
from the procedure mentioned above. (The City and County
have an intergovernmental cooperation agreement, whereby
the City collects all delinquent real estate taxes in the City of
Milwaukee.) A percentage of property taxes are not collected
for potential reasons such as the inability of property owners to
pay and/or inadequate collections methods of local
governments. If this percentage increases over time, it may indicate overall decline in the
communitys ability to pay for local government services.

Analysis
The delinquency tax rate has increased for three consecutive years, giving this indicator a
negative health rating. Fortunately, this trend has been closely monitored, and the County
Treasurer has recently boosted collection efforts to correct the matter. The data reflecting these
efforts are not captured in this years analysis. The County maintains a reserve to offset
uncollected property taxes, so this trend is more reflective of the overall declining economy of
the ???

Expenditures

The first issue to consider is the expenditure growth rate to determine whether the County is
operating within its revenues. Since Milwaukee County is required to have a balanced budget, it
would seem unlikely that expenditure growth would exceed revenue growth. Nevertheless, the
County may balance its annual budget yet create a long-run imbalance in which expenditure
outlays and commitments grow faster than revenues. Some of the more common ways in which
this type of imbalance occurs are the are to use bond proceeds for operations, use reserves, and
defer maintenance on streets, buildings, or other capital stock, or by deferring funding of future
liabilities. In each of these cases, the annual budget remains balanced, but the long-run budget
develops a deficit.

A second issue to consider is expenditure flexibility, which is a measure of the Countys freedom
to adjust its service levels to changing conditions, and considers the level of mandatory and fixed
costs. Ideally, the County will have an expenditure growth rate that does not exceed its revenue
growth rate, and will have maximum flexibility to adjust spending. An increase in mandatory
costs such as debt service, matching requirements, pension benefits, and state and Federal
mandates will find the County less able to make adjustments.

Analyzing Milwaukee Countys expenditure profile will help identify the following types of
problems:

Excessive growth of overall expenditures as compared to revenue growth

An undesired increase in fixed costs

Ineffective budgetary controls

A decline in personnel productivity

Excessive growth in programs that create future expenditure liabilities.

The indicators detailed can be used to monitor changes in expenditures.

OPERATING EXPENDITURES PER CAPITA
Description
Per capita expenditures reflect changes in expenditures relative to
changes in population. Increasing per capita expenditures may
indicate that the cost of providing services is outstripping the
communitys ability to pay, especially if spending is increasing
faster than the Countys tax base. If the increase in spending is
greater than would be expected from inflation or the addition of
new services, it can be an indicator of declining productivity. In
this case, the County is spending more real dollars to support the
same level of services. Any combination of the above variables
would have the same overall effect. Operating expenditures for this
indicator consist of two fund types: governmental and enterprise.
This analysis is limited to governmental funds in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP).

Analysis
Expenditures per capita increased consecutively from 2004-2007 at an average of $20 or 2.1%
per year. This trend occurred without any significant changes in population. The decrease in
2008 can be attributed to both a small increase in population and decreased spending for the
legislative, executive and staff functional areas of County government.

EXPENDITURES BY FUNCTION

Description
Expenditures by function shows a detailed breakdown of the Countys general governmental
expenditures. Tracking this data can be useful in analyzing developing trends that may indicate
need for further attention or resources. Shifting trends may reflect efforts to address goals and
objectives, specific needs of the community, or may indicate an underlying problem that requires
a shift in focus and/or resources.

Analysis
The five-year trend is relatively stable and there are several functional areas worth detailing. The
ratio for Legislative, Executive and Staff reduced by 1.9%, while the ratio for Health and Human
Services increased by 5.4% from 2004 to 2008.

EMPLOYEES PER CAPITA
Description
Personnel costs are the largest portion of the Countys
operating budget. Tracking changes in the number of
employees per capita is a way to measure changes in
expenditures. An increase in employees to population may
indicate that expenditures are rising faster than revenues, the
County is becoming more labor intensive, or that productivity
is declining. Tracking this measure may also be important
during times of change or fiscal austerity. The number of full-
time employees as used in this indicator is defined as the total
number of County employees minus the number of seasonal workers. Employee totals include
both active and inactive employees. For example, some inactive employees may be on leaves of
absence without pay but have not yet terminated their employment.

Analysis
The number of County employees has steadily decreased over the last three years. Based on 2008
staffing levels, there is approximately one County employee for every 189 County residents. Due
to the Countys fiscal condition and rising costs, steps have been taken to reduce the number of
budgeted employees and abolish vacant positions. While decreasing employees per capita
reduces costs, the impact on services is not documented.

FRINGE BENEFITS
Description
Fringe benefits often comprise a significant portion of
operating costs, often amounting to more than 30% of total
labor compensation. Direct benefits consist of health and life
insurance, contributions to social security, unemployment
insurance, workers compensation, pension payments and other
miscellaneous benefits. Because the funding and recording of
fringe benefits is a complex process, these costs can escalate
unnoticed, straining the Countys finances. In particular, the
cost of providing health insurance has risen at dramatic rates
for public and private employers in recent years. And requires
careful monitoring.

DEPRECIATION
Description
Depreciation is the cost associated with the use of a fixed asset
over its useful life. Depreciation should remain a relatively
stable portion of asset cost assuming older assets, which are
fully depreciated, are removed from service and replaced with
newer assets. If depreciation costs start to decline as a portion
of asset cost, the assets are probably being used beyond their
useful lives, the estimated useful lives had been initially
underestimated, or the scale of operations was reduced.

Analysis
The trend is neutral. The ratio of depreciation expenses to fixed asset costs has remained
relatively stable over the 5-year period.

Operating Position

Operating position refers to the Countys ability to balance its budget on a current basis, maintain
reserves for emergencies, and maintain sufficient cash to pay its bills on a timely basis.

During a typical year, a local government will usually generate either an operating surplus, when
revenues exceed expenditures, or an operating deficit, when expenditures exceed revenues. An
operating surplus or deficit may be created intentionally as a result of a policy decision, or may
be created unintentionally because of difficulties in precisely forecasting revenues and
expenditures. As required by State Statutes, surpluses and deficits are rolled forward into the
next budget adopted by the County.

Many local governments develop reserves through the accumulation of operating surpluses and
provide financial security in the event of loss of a revenue source, economic downturn,
unanticipated expenditure demands due to natural disasters, insurance loss, unexpected large-
scale capital expenditures or other non-recurring expenses, or uneven cash flow. Reserves may
be budgeted in a contingency account or carried as a part of one or more fund balances. The
County currently has the statutory authority to carry over fund balances from year to year.

Liquidity refers to the flow of cash in and out of the County treasury. The County receives many
of its revenues in large installments at infrequent intervals during the year. Excess liquidity or
cash reserves are a valuable cushion against an unexpected delay in receipt of revenues, an
unexpected decline or loss of a revenue source, or an unanticipated need to make a large
expenditure.

An analysis of operating position can help identify the following situations:

A pattern of operating deficits.

A decline in reserves.

Ineffective revenue forecasting techniques.

Ineffective budgetary controls.
.
The indicators detailed can be used to monitor changes in operating position.

Milwaukee County

OPERATING DEFICIT OR SURPLUS
Description
An operating deficit or surplus occurs when current
expenditures exceed current revenues or are lower than current
revenues. A deficit does not always mean that the budget will
be out of balance, because reserves from prior years can be
used to cover the difference. An operating deficit in any one-
year period may not be cause for concern, but frequent and
increasing deficits can indicate that current revenues are not
supporting current expenditures and that serious problems may
lie ahead.

Analysis
After an operating deficit in 2004, the County has managed a
surplus from 2004 to 2008. In addition, the surpluses have been at acceptable standards.

LIQUIDITY
Description
A measure of the Countys short-run financial condition is its
cash position, which includes cash on hand and in the bank, as
well as other assets that can be easily converted to cash, such
as short-term investments. This is also known as liquidity,
which measures the Countys ability to pay its short-term
obligations. The immediate effect of insufficient liquidity is
insolvency; the inability to pay bills, and indicates that the
County has overextended itself in the long term.

Analysis
The trend is positive, as the County has increased its liquid
assets available to meet short-term needs. The County Treasurer has pursued a strategy that
focuses on short-term investments with low fees (such as certificates of deposit) and high
liquidity. Many of these short-term investments have been tied closely to the Fed Funds rate,
which steadily increased from 1 percent to 5 percent between 2004 and 2008. Largely due to
these rate increases, net investment income available to the Countys general fund rose from $3.5
million in 2004 to $13.5 million in 2007. The slight decrease in 2008 is related to interest rate
reductions due to the economic downturn, therefore this indicator should be monitored closely.

Debt Structure

Debt can be an effective tool to finance capital improvements and to even out short-term revenue
flows, but its misuse can cause serious financial problems. Even a temporary inability to repay
debt can result in loss of credit rating, increased borrowing costs, and loss of autonomy to State
and other regulatory bodies.

The most common forms of long-term debt are general obligation, special assessment, and
revenue bonds. When the County issues debt for capital projects, it must ensure that aggregate
outstanding debt does not exceed the communitys ability to pay debt service as measured by the
wealth of the community. Also to be considered are overlapping debt and other jurisdictions
debts against which the government has pledged its full faith and credit.

Under the most favorable circumstances, the Countys debt should be proportionate in size and
growth to the tax base; should not extend past the useful life of the facilities which it finances;
should not be used to balance the operating budget; should not require repayment schedules that
put excessive burdens on operating expenditures; and should not be so high as to jeopardize the
Countys credit rating.

An examination of the Countys debt structure can reveal the following conditions:

Inadequacies in cash management procedures.

Inadequacies in expenditure controls.

Decreases in expenditure flexibility due to increased fixed costs in the form of debt
service.

Use of short-term debt to finance current operations.

Sudden large increases or decreases in future debt service.

The amount of additional debt that the community can absorb.

The indicators detailed can be used to monitor changes in debt structure.

CURRENT LIABILITIES
Description
Current liabilities are the sum of all liabilities due at the end of the
fiscal year, including short-term debt; current portion of long-term
debt, all accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current
liabilities. Although short-term borrowing is an accepted way to
deal with uneven cash flow, an increasing amount of short-term
debt outstanding at the end of successive years can indicate
liquidity problems, deficit spending, or both.

Analysis
The trend is positive, as operating revenues have increased by an
average of 13.9 percent annually between 2004 and 2007, while
current liabilities have increased by an average of 6.9 percent annually. The trend can stay
positive so long as revenue grows faster than the growth in current liabilities. Due to the
Countys healthy liquidity levels, no short-term borrowing is needed to finance current liabilities.

LONG-TERM DEBT
Description
Net direct debt is bonded long-term debt minus self-supporting
debt (e.g enterprise debt). The equalized valuation is the most
generally available measure of County wealth. Generally, long-
term debt should not exceed the Countys resources for paying
debt service. An increase in net direct bonded long-term debt
as a percentage of equalized valuation can mean that the
Countys ability to repay is diminishing.

Analysis
The trend is positive as the County continues to implement a
conservative approach to issuing long-term debt. This approach
has helped reduce the Countys cost to issue debt because rating agencies view this limited debt
load positively, and allows the County to use resources for other services that would otherwise
go to servicing a large amount of debt.

DEBT SERVICE
Description
Debt service is defined as the amount of principal and interest that
the County must pay each year associated with its outstanding
debt. Increasing debt service reduces expenditure flexibility by
adding to the Countys obligations. Debt service can be a major
part of the Countys fixed costs and its increase may indicate
excessive debt and fiscal strain.

Analysis
The trend is negative because the ratio of debt service to operating
revenues has steadily increased. The County has a low level of
long-term debt as a percentage of valuation (see previous
indicator), indicating there may be an issue with operating revenues. Issues of further debt should
analyze whether operating revenues can support the debt service load.

OVERLAPPING DEBT

Description
Overlapping net debt is the net direct debt of all local
government jurisdictions that is issued against a tax base
within Milwaukee County. Examples of other jurisdictions that
overlap the County are the City of West Allis, the Village of
Brown Deer, Milwaukee Area Technical College, and MMSD.
The level of overlapping debt is only that debt applicable to the
property shared by the two jurisdictions. The overlapping debt
indicator measures the ability of the Countys tax base to repay
the debt obligations issued by all of its governmental and
quasi-governmental jurisdictions.

Analysis
The trend is positive. The value of the tax base has risen faster than combined bonded debt,

A contingent liability is an existing condition or situation whose ultimate disposition may not be
known or does not have to be paid until a future year, and for which reserves have been set aside.
A contingent liability is similar to debt in that it represents a legal commitment to pay in the
future. Due to the potential magnitude, if these types of obligations grow substantially over time,
they can have a significant impact on the Countys financial condition.

The contingent liabilities considered here are significant because they are not readily apparent in
ordinary financial records, making it difficult to assess their respective impacts. Additionally, the
contingent liabilities may accumulate gradually over time, making it difficult to notice them until
the problem is severe.

An analysis of the Countys unfunded liabilities can reveal the following:

An increase in the Countys pension liability.

Inadequacies in pension plan contributions, pension system assets, and whether the
investment earnings are keeping pace with the growth in benefits.

An increasing amount of unused employee vacation and sick leave.

Inadequacies of County policies for payment of unused vacation and sick leave as
compared to the Countys ability to pay.

An increase in the amount of lawsuits and other claims against the County.

The indicators detailed on the following pages can be used to monitor changes in unfunded
liabilities.

Milwaukee County

PENSION OBLIGATIONS
Description
The Countys main pension plan (Employee Retirement
System or ERS) represents a significant long-term expenditure
obligation. The present value of the projected cost of pension
benefits earned by employees is known as the actuarial
accrued liability. The difference between this amount and the
actuarial value of the resources of the pension plan is known as
the unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL). As a rule, the
actuarially determined annual required contribution (ARC) is
the measure of pension cost accrued as expense by employers
in their financial statements. If the County fails to fully fund the ARC in any given period, a net
pension obligation is reported in the statement of net assets to reflect the under-funding.

Analysis
The trend is neutral in the long term. The large drop in the UAAL as a percentage of salaries
shown above includes $397 million in assets from the sale of Pension Obligation Bonds (POBs)
by the County in April 2009, and 20 percent of 2008 market losses, totaling $486 million, that
are amortized over 5 years. Were the POB assets not included and the market losses not
amortized, the UAAL trend line for this indicator would show a significantly more negative
trend.

PENSION ASSETS
Description
Pension assets are held primarily as cash or investments. A
decline in the ration of plan assets to benefits can indicate
serious problems in the management of the pension plan.

Analysis
Like the previous indicator, the 2008 data above include
POB assets added to the plan in April 2009, and the five-year
amortization of $486 million in market losses. The funded
ratio declined significantly since 1999, when the funded ratio
was 130 percent. As with the previous indicator, the positive
trend is related to a one-time policy change (POBs), and
should be monitored closely in the long term.

Office of Economic Advocacy - Milwaukee County

Mission is to provide a comprehensive strategy for economic development in
Milwaukee County by working in concert with all incorporated municipalities
and their economic development agents. Through the coordinated efforts of
the county and the municipalities, the regional economy will grow through
the retention, expansion and relocation of employers to Milwaukee County.

This comprehensive strategy will differ from previous and existing economic
development efforts through the establishment of a direct communication line
between the employer and an assigned "J obs Advocate" whose sole focus is to
advocate and coordinate with all local, county, state and federal levels of
government for the retention, expansion or relocation of employers. The core
purpose of the office is to leverage the county resources and financial
position for job creation and retention while providing an expanded support
staff with a high level of expertise to support local economic development
efforts.

Office of Economic Advocacy will work with all civic, regional economic
development and non-profit community organizations to act as the central point of
communication for economic development progress and strategy for Milwaukee County.
The purpose of the newly established office is not to create competition with other
counties in the region but foster a better business climate for Milwaukee County and the
region as a whole through better communication and direct cooperation with all local,
state and federal government.

The objective of this new strategy for economic development is to renew a long dormant
social contract of government fostering an open dialogue and cooperative relationship
with privately held businesses that in turn have a stake in the success of their local
community. That success encompasses family supporting jobs, provision of affordable
health care, world-class education for our children and efficient provision of government
services.

Employers enjoy greater success with a supportive business climate that
begins with the attitudes of government officials and our government is best equipped to
provide essential, efficient services with a successful business community. Milwaukee
County will benefit immensely from the success of its employers that give back to their
local communities through volunteer efforts, philanthropic approaches to solving
community issues, and a renewed sense of pride in our local communities.

Restoration of the social contract between government and employers is the critical
component of an economic development strategy to retain and create jobs anywhere. If
employers and employees within Milwaukee County are to return to prosperity, we must
work together to re-establish this social contract.

This advocacy will include the following:

Develop assessment of infrastructure needs for employers that include access to
transportation systems, site development or expansion,
and utility needs.

institutions (Technical Colleges and Higher Education Institutions) to educate and
train a workforce pool that sustains the employer.

Request participation in competitive bidding of health insurance
from all regional providers based upon desired health plan options by
employer.

Full review of all local and county ordinances that will impact

Prepare thorough and complete proposal for tax incentives, tax

employees.

Jobs Advocate Position Description:

Serve as single point of contact for employers and local municipal
economic development agents in Milwaukee County on all economic
development issues.

Prepare full assessment containing all of the advocacy items listed
above for current or new employers.

Guide employer through all regulation and permit paperwork to ensure
timely and accurately drafted paperwork is filed.

Directly advocate for employer on all permitting and regulatory
issues with all levels of government - local, county, state and federal.

Cynthia, this is our preliminary estimate. We are awaiting confirmation from

the base ($2.4M) is small.

I missed Paul by phone, so I figured this we be more timely. The results won't
be that impressive. It will be more about smoothing trend and stability than
large immediate savings. Not to mention our total spend is less than 3 million.
My best guess is that it would be around $150 - $200K less per year.

Brenda / Paul,
from our in person meeting, I would like to see estimated premiums if the
County were to adopt annual benefit limits for non-orthodontia treatment for
2010 as you initially recommended. Please note, I am in the process of getting
the contract proposal that you recently forwarded with current plan designs
approved by the board. This is not intended to replace that contract. It is more
of a hypothetical exercise as the likelihood of implementing the annual limits
for 2010 remains very low.
At 2500, we saw a reduction in utilization around $500,000, but I'm not sure
what that would mean in terms of the ongoing rate. Ideally, I'd like to see rate
estimates at a $2500 and a $3500 annual limit.
Please give me a call if you have any questions.
Thanks

To: Paul Seubert <pseubert@dentalassociates.com>
Date: 07/31/2009 09:11 AM
Paul,
thanks for the quick turnaround on this. I have a couple hopefully easy
questions:
In cell D299 there is a reference error preventing me from seeing total
utilization and percentage of utilization for 2008. Can you give me the
2008 total utilization number?
To clarify, are the claims dollars in each cell the total claims dollars for
the patients who exceeded $2500, or is it the total claims dollars
incurred by the patient in excess of the $2500 threshold. In other
words, is the total annual claims for the patient in cell D296 $2500, or
is it actually $5000?
Assuming the answer to the second question is that it is the total utilization for
the patient for that year, then the implementation of a $2500 non-orthodontia
benefit maximum would impact utilization by roughly $500,000 based on 2008
data, as opposed to $1.2 million. I don't have the total 2008 utilization, but I
would guess that roughly 15% of overall utilization would be over the proposed
threshold.
If we made this change, there would still be a significant positive impact
utilization, but we'd also see a degree of smoothing between plan years as
patients delay work between multiple plan years to work around the maximum.
The smoothing effect would offset some of the utilization reduction, but it
would also provide greater stability and predictability in the underwriting
process, which would helpful for both of us.
In any case, this is an academic exercise until I can't get to the bargaining table
with labor, etc. Please let me know if I'm off base with any part of my
comments above. Thanks again
- Matt

Hi Matt:

Attached is a worksheet showing for the years ending 2006 through 2008, the
individual patient utilization incurred in excess of $2,500. Each cell is a patient for
that particular year. Interesting data, patients with utilization in excess of $2,500
represent about 5% of the total Milwaukee County patients and about 25% to 30% of
total annual utilization.

Also, the Care-Plus administration load is 5%.

Thanks for the zip code analysis. That is really helpful information for us as we plan for
our new location(s) in the Milwaukee area.

Let me know how we can further assist you.

the State will be in this space for J an and Feb. If not, I have a revenue hole
and will need to make adjustments asap to make up for it.
I realize this is a bigger issue with appeals, etc. I am not involved in that. I am

get no indication that the State is going to stay and make the below payments,
I will assume the space is empty and proceed accordingly.

Cindy,
I would like to clarify that the meeting I attempted to set up with Greg was
intended to review privatization and any other initiatives that require union
notification and determine the format and the timing of fulfilling that
notification requirement. During the budget briefings you had asked me to
coordinate this process and that's why I was scheduling this meeting. If you
no longer want me to do that, it's fine with me as long as this step does not
get overlooked.
Based on your last e-mail in the string below I get the sense that you are
concerned that I won't adequately defend the CEX's wage and benefit reform
proposal after it is released because I argued that it is not consistent with
sound budgeting practices and urged the CEX not include it in his

3. I can explain how the savings estimates were calculated and incorporated in
the recommended budget.
4. I think I will probably be asked about the impact on the 2010 budget if the
unions do not accept the CEX's proposal. If I am, I would have to indicate that
a $30 million gap in the 2010 budget would result and that as many as 800-
1000 lay offs would be necessary in order to close that gap and avoid ending
the year with a deficit.
I won't be able to answer questions about how this package fits in to the
County's negotiating strategy or comment on the likelihood that the unions will
accept this proposal. I also think that because this is a more a labor relations
issue than a budget issue, either you or the CEX's Office should take the lead

Hi News Team,
Milwaukee County Parks will be at Kletzsch Park tomorrow for the Gus Tour.
Our first bump we will be talking about Milwaukee County Parks Doggie Dip that
will happen on Labor Day at Cool Waters.
The remainder of the program we will be talking about the Milwaukee River and
celebrating an event later that night called "history of the canoe" with guests
from Friends of Kletzsch Park, Urban Ecology Center, who uses the river for
canoe programs for kids and a rep from Laacke and J oys who is putting on the
history of the canoe program later that evening.
The following pictures show Penny, the dog, who will be on the first bump.
Penny was one of many dogs who celebrated Doggy Dip at our outdoor pools 2
weeks ago. I know it is "live" TV, but thought it might be worth a photo of a
Penny jumping into a county pool for a visual, since we will not be on location
at a pool.
Thanks,

Based on what I heard in the briefing with SKW this AM, the operational savings related to
vacating City Campus on April 1 will be sufficient to fill the budget hole of approximately $1.3
million in DHSS/IMSD and hence those budgets will be made whole on this issue for 2010.
There was no discussion on moving costs or IT costs. Am I to assume those costs will also
be covered through the operational savings since I heard Steve say we are budgeting no
dollars for the sale of the land?
I am not so much interested in all the detail but I want to make sure there that the 2010
includes what is needed to avoid any surprises or holes.

I spoke to Dennis and he is confident we can find a temporary solution to our
"IT Hub" issues at City Campus. Worse case scenario, we sell the building to
someone who wants to tear it down, he said he could rent a small space and
keep everything running for 50-60K. However, as he indicated, this would not
be a permanent solution. Since we are doing a three year capital plan and our
goal is to not own city campus, I am wondering if we should put this project in
the three year capital plan for 2011? If we simply ignore it, during the budget
is will look like we have not really thought this whole thing out and since we
know we are going to have to do it why not include it in 2011?

I'll stick with the recommendation that I made this morning. I do not think we
should provide funding to move the IT Hub at City Campus. At this point we
haven't identified a buyer and we don't know what any potential buyer we are
able to find will do with the building. In my opinion it's likely that it will be
years before we may have to move the IT Hub. It's also possible we may never
have to move the hub if we end up selling City Campus to someone who is
going to use the existing building. Based on the numbers that J ack gave us
this morning, I think that we should justify the move from City Campus in the
budget narrative based on the operating savings from mothballing the
building. We can indicate that we'll be starting the process of trying to sell the
building. But unless we have a buyer lined up, I don't think it would be a good
idea to oversell that initiative.

Right now we just need to focus on layoffs due to privatization. Other notices

However, be award at some point during the budget debate you will be asked

Wisconsin Self-Funded Liability and Property Programs protect the Lessee. Wisconsin Statutes

895.46 and 893.82 provide that the state will pay judgments taken against state officers or
employees for acts carried out while the officers or employees were acting within the scope of
their employment. This shall be deemed as evidence of protection for applicable liability claims
brought against the state, its officers or employees and damage to property for which the state
may be responsible.

16 MAINTENANCE.

The Lessor shall maintain the Premises in good repair and tenantable condition, and as
required by Wisconsin Statute 704.07, throughout the term of this Lease, except in case of
damage arising from a willful act or the negligence of the Lessee's agents or employees. For the
purpose of so maintaining the Premises, the Lessor reserves the right at reasonable times to
enter and inspect the Premises and to make any necessary repairs thereto.

17 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

In the event the Premises are partially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or
happening such that Lessee may continue to use a part of the Premises, Lessor shall promptly
repair such damage and restore the Premises to its condition immediately prior to said damage
or destruction. In such event, the rental and any other obligations of Lessee payable hereunder
shall abate proportionally by the ratio that the damaged area bears to the total area of the
Premises. Should Lessor fail to complete said restoration within 60 days of the partial damage
or destruction, Lessee may terminate this Lease. In the event the Premises are damaged or
destroyed such that Lessee is unable to occupy the Premises (untenantable) without undue
hardship and/or disruption of its business, Lessee may elect to terminate this Lease by
providing Lessor written notice of such termination within 14 days after such damage or
destruction, and, in that event, all rent and other obligations of the Lessee hereunder shall
terminate as of the date of such damage or destruction. In the event the Premises are
untenantable and Lessee does not elect to terminate this Lease, Lessor shall proceed
immediately to rebuild and restore the Premises to its condition immediately prior to said
damage or destruction. In the case of Lessee's election not to terminate, all rent and other
obligations of the Lessee hereunder shall abate from the date of untenantability until the date
Lessee retakes possession of the Premises. In the event Lessor fails to complete the restoration
within 120 days of the untenantability, Lessee may terminate this Lease.

Notice in writing referred to herein shall not be construed to mean personal notice, but such
notice shall be given in writing, by mail, by depositing the same in the post office or letter-box, in

the Lessee by the Lessor without correction thereof and having been commenced
and thereafter diligently executed; the Lessor may declare the term of this lease
ended and terminated by giving the Lessee written notice of such intention. If
possession of the Leased Premises is not surrendered, the Lessor may reenter the
said Leased Premises. The Lessor has, in addition to the remedy provided above,
any other right or remedy available to the Lessor on account of any Lessee default,
either in law or equity. The Lessor will use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages.

release the Lessee from the fulfillment of the terms and conditions of the lease
agreement.

deposit of $00,000.00. The security deposit will be held by the Lessor without liability
for interest, and as security for the performance by the Lessee of the Lessee's
covenants and obligations under this lease, it being expressly understood that the
security deposit will not be considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of
the Lessor's damages in case of default by the Lessee. Unless otherwise provided by
mandatory non-waivable law or regulation, the Lessor may commingle the security
deposit with the Lessor's other funds. The Lessor may, from time to time, without
prejudice to any other remedy, use the security deposit to the extent necessary to
make good any arrearages of rent, or to satisfy any other covenant or obligation of
the Lessee hereunder. Following any such application of the security deposit, the
Lessee will pay to the Lessor on demand the amount so applied in order to restore
the security deposit to its original amount. If the Lessee is not in default at the
termination of this lease, the Lessor will return the balance of the security deposit
remaining after any such application to the Lessee. If the Lessor transfers its interest
in the Leased Premises during the term of this lease, the Lessor may assign the
security deposit to the transferee and after that will have no further liability for the
return of the security deposit.

Leased Premises by the Lessee thereafter, will remain the Lessee's property free and
clear of any claim by the Lessor. The Lessee has the right to remove the same at any
time during the term of this lease, provided that all damage to the Leased Premises

other Lessee. The Lessor will assist and cooperate with the Lessee in obtaining any
necessary permission from governmental authorities or adjoining owners and

extinguishers, security alarm systems and/or carbon monoxide detectors are in sound
working order. The Lessee further understands and acknowledges that, although the
Lessor makes every effort to make the Leased Premises safe and secure, this in no
way creates a promise of security.

obligations under the terms of the lease agreement.

33 Mechanics Liens

Neither the Lessee, nor anyone claiming through the Lessee, has the right to file
mechanics liens or any other kind of lien on the Leased Premises, and the filing of
this lease constitutes notice that such liens are invalid. Further, the Lessee agrees to
(1) give actual advance notice to any contractors, subcontractors or suppliers of
goods, labor, or services that such liens will not be valid, and (2) take whatever
additional steps necessary in order to keep the Lessee Premises free of all liens

reasonable notice to the Lessor.

Lessor lease payment(s) during the holdover period at a rate equal to 200% of the
most recent rate preceding the holdover period (if less, the maximum amount allowed

only with the prior written consent of the Lessor, in accordance with paragraph 24. At

execute any instrument of subordination herein required to be executed by the
Lessee promptly as requested, the Lessee hereby irrevocably constitutes the Lessor
as its attorney-in-fact to execute such instrument in the Lessee's name, place and
stead, it being agreed that such power is one coupled with an interest.

The Lessee agrees that it will from time to time upon request by the Lessor execute and convey
to persons such as the Lessor requests a statement in recordable form certifying that
this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been
modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as so modified), stating the
dates to which rent and other charges payable under this lease have been paid,
stating that the Lessor is not in default hereunder (or if the Lessee alleges a default
stating the nature of such alleged default), and further stating such other matters as
the Lessor reasonably requires.

45 Waiver

No waiver of any default of the Lessor or Lessee hereunder is implied from any omission to
take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and
no express waiver affects any default other than the default specified in the express
waiver, and only for the time and to the extent therein stated. One or more waivers by
the Lessor or Lessee should not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of
the same covenant, term, or condition.

46 Waiver of Notice

The Lessee waives the right to receive a notice of default from the Lessor unless such
notice is required by state or local regulations.

47 Compliance with Law and Regulations

The Lessee will comply with all laws, orders, ordinances and other public requirements now
or hereafter pertaining to the Lessee's use of the Leased Premises. The Lessor will
comply with all laws, orders, ordinances and other public requirements now or
hereafter affecting the Leased Premises.

48 Cumulative Rights

The rights of the parties under this lease are cumulative, and will not be construed as
exclusive unless otherwise required by law.

49 Severability

If any part of this lease agreement is not valid, enforceable, binding or legal, it will not
cancel or void the rest of this lease agreement. The remainder of the lease
agreement will continue to be valid and enforceable by the Lessor to the maximum
extent of the laws and regulations set forth by local, state and federal governments.

50 Final and Entire Agreement

This Agreement terminates and supersedes all prior understandings or agreements on the
subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be modified only by a further writing that
is duly executed by both parties.

By signing this lease agreement, the Lessee certifies that they have read, understood and agree
to comply with all of the terms, conditions, rules and regulations of this lease
agreement, including any addendums, and that they have received the following:

1. Copies of all addendums, rules and regulations, special terms and conditions, and

and the rest is history. Also, we hired his fianc here as a project team member for
the new financial system (went live August 1st!). She was AWESOMEand truly, so
is he. They are both total overachieversvery mature, mild-mannered, hard-
working and SMART. Really, I wouldnt say that about just anyone, but I have been
impressed with the both of them.

They just moved to Milwaukee last weekshe is attending law school and he is
looking for work. Lynn said to me yesterday that she should contact you in case you
were looking for some good temp help. Sorryguess I only told part of the story.

Hi Cindy,

Lynn and Molly herejust wondering if you are in need of some great temporary help
there in the finance office. For the past several summers, Lynn has hired a really
together young man to watch the kids, and he and his fianc just moved to
Milwaukee last week. He is a UWGB graduate with a degree in economics, has some
banking experience, is a big picture thinker and very personable, professional and
mature for age. Heck, if he impresses Lynn, just think about what an asset he could
be to your office! J

Let us know if you want more information or to speak to Peter directly. Hope this e-

There is a summary tab and the detail on a separate tab. The number changed
slightly since I did the last draft (likely the one you have a copy of) because I re-
reviewed the contract and found some additional information. At least it went the
right way - cheaper! Please let me know if you have questions.

To All,
Attached is the Department of Audit's observations and suggestions regarding the process for codifying approved
amendments to the County Ordinances. Although the specific example discussed at our meeting turned out to
be a non-issue, it is our belief that there are some weaknesses in the current process that pose a risk of error,
and that are easily remedied. This is an informal analysis that the County Clerk and Director of Administrative
Services can use if they wish to take action.

A payment was received from the attorneys on J uly 17, 2009 for 600,369.16. This is in addition to the $30
million that was deposited into our accounts earlier. I agree that the County will need to reimburse itself for
costs incurred on this matter. I have attached a PDF with the initial costs that need to be reimbursed. Do you
believe Buck Consultants costs at other dates in the PDF could have charges that were related to the Mercer
lawsuit?

Scott and Natalie:
Milwaukee County received approximately $600,000 in monies transferred from the attorneys on the Mercer
case. These dollars will eventually be transferred to the pension fund once the Traveler's claim is clarified.
However, Milwaukee County is due some reimbursement for funds fronted as part of the litigation. Specifically,
Milwaukee County paid $75,000 in initial costs plus $20,000 in advance costs plus $12,458.08 in travel costs
during the case.
Because the resolution of the County Board indicated that any transfer of dollars to the pension fund were to be
net of costs advanced, I recommend that Milwaukee County reimburse itself $107,458.08 from the dollars
currently held in the account set up for such monies.
Please contact me with any questions.

The Parks narrative that was in our briefing document indicated more revenue due to parking fee increases of
$450,000. The narrative refereneced several items (parking meters, increases in O'donnell Parking structure and
others). Steve, I know you talked to a parking vendor to verify these numbers. What did the parking vendor
give you and for what items specifically? I need to have this before we begin briefings this morning.

The loss in revenue on your document related to Coggs space ($1.5 million) should be moved below the line as a
comeback, not above the line as a given. The CEX had indicated he will not add new $ for this. Kreklow and
J ack are working on a space consolidiation plan to offset the loss in revenue. Also, I think it is safe to reduce the
number by $487,000 since I am fairly confident the state will take the space for J an and Feb. In any event,
anything not already build into Brass should show as a "below the line" comeback.

They also wanted to be sure that if the County were able to recieve outside funding to offset any of these costs,

We have yet to bief the CEX on what we have budged for the contingency fund. My understanding is that we

on it and get his approval that the amount we have built in is acceptable. Also, Steve mentioned someting about
$250,000 budgeted in fringe for employee re-training. We have not briefed him on this either. If this is
assumed in our BRASS numbers, we need to pull it out and list it as a comeback. If there are any other items
that we have built into BRASS that we have not briefed the CEX on, I need to know about them and the CEX
needs to be briefed on them.

Cindy,
I assumed a 9% increase for 2010 from the 2009 projected actual spend. The last three years have been in the 6
- 8 % range, but there's no valid reason for that lower trend. Our plans aren't built to out perform the inflation
trend, and our covered population hasn't gotten any younger or healthier. My best explanation for the lower
increases the past few years would be that our budget heading into 2007 was too high to begin with after
coming off of some 15% increases in recent years. We've been weeding that out of the past couple budget
requests.
Nationally, the health care trend has been around 10.5%. Regionally, trend tends to be a little higher in the
Midwest. Cambridge has recommended we use 11% in each of the last three years, primarily based on national
trend figures and their book of business. We've been more aggressive than their recommendations.

3,476,290 TOTAL PROPOSED CHANGES TO ADDRESS THE STRUCTURAL DEFICIT AT BHD
OT budget increased significantly in 2007 due to DAS recommendation to budget for actual OT. The same
year, the V&T was also increased by the same amount so there was no tax levy impact. That took away the
salary surplus that had previously been covering for some of the OT. Also, as vacant positions were
abolished during tough budgets the ability to manage personnel costs through vacancies was diminished.
In the 2009 budget, we budgeted an additional $500,000 for utilities to attempt to address the structural
deficit. BHD did not increase the utility budget for 2010 due to the levy target. The only adjustment made was
for the closure of the Day hospital.
In the 2008 Budget, we increased the drug budget by $400K to address the structural deficit. Since that time
BHD has not been able to keep up with the annual increases, which have been kept far below the industry
average of 10-17%.
In 2007, BHD put forward an intiative to expand the observation unit from 12 to 16 beds within PCS due to
revenue availability and client need. Since that time, the MA rate has gone from $503.80 per day to $347 per
stay. BHD has not been able to adjust the revenue for the new MA rates.

This is exactly what I was trying to avoid. The bottom line on this is that the CEX is not
willing for find $1.5 million to plug the hole left by the State not awarding us an RFP for
the Coggs space. He is relying on Facilites to come up space consolidations to fill this
hole. He does not care if the savings accures to Lisa's budget -- just that we have
savings county-wide from space consolidations in 2010 that are sufficient to fill the
hole. From my conversations with Deputy to Timberlake, I think I have them close to
commitiing to a two month extention (J an and Feb) which is probably about $480,000
in revenue. That leaves us about $1.0 in net savings (after move and other cost) that
we need for the budget.

The time for plan B is now. DAS will wait to hear from Facilites for the plan, but we are
out of time on this one. We are locking down the budget next week.

I wanted to follow up with you on since our last conversation.
The Strategic Planning Operations Team will meet next Tuesday. Attached in a copy of
the agenda that indicates the membership of the team. You will note that one item on
the agenda is the review of the five-year fiscal forecast. A group consisting of DAS-
Fiscal staff, County Board staff, Public Policy Forum and others has been working for a
number of months to complete and reach consensus on the County's five-year fiscal
forecast. The forecast serves as the starting point for Strategic Planning. This will be
reviewed at the meeting on Tuesday and it is my hope that we can bring it before the
Finance Committee for review and approval at the September meeting. Also, I followed
up with the Executive's Office on the their appointments to the Steering Committee and
they indicated they are appointing the DAS Director, Aging Director and Director of
DHSS.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or want to discuss further.

have attached the Strategic Planning resolution that was passed by the Board and

Comeback list item

Cc: Craig Dillmann
Please add to the comeback list repeal of the "community benefits on Park east land".
It is my understanding that the Code places restrictions on the sale of land that makes it
difficult for us to sell land. I don't think this is unique to Park east land. I would like to
show the CEX Office what is in the Code so we are clear on what they specifically want
to repeal. Is it restrictions on all land sales they want to repeal or just exempt Park
east from the exemptions? The easiest thing to do is call Dillman and get a copy of
code provisions related to land sales then we can take the code to the briefing.

We would like the County Exec Recommended Budget to include a
contractual service appropriation of $260,000 for IT consulting in org unit
4037. In addition, we would like to include the abolishment of the PSW
Coordinator postion and the creation of a PSW Supervisor position in org
unit 4041. (I believe that Molly Pahl has already sent you detail
regarding this position action.)
The increased cost of these actions can be offset by an increase in
vacancy and turnover related to a change in commissary service delivery
to inmates. We are currently entering into an rfp process that we
anticipate will result in a reduction in Stores Clerk positions for the
delivery of commissary without a reduction in commissary revenue.
Vacancy and turnover equal to 4 Stores Clerk 1 positions can be budgeted
in org unit 4313 with the balance needed to offset the requested
expenditure increase above placed in org unit 4038.

The fleet replacement schedule will be accelerated to take advantage of low interest
rates and replace an aging fleet. An aggressive replacement schedule will then be
maintained so that most vehicles will remain under warranty while owned by the
County. This will allow the County to reduce maintenance expenditures and staffing
costs in the Fleet division while improving the condition of the entire fleet.

The Parks department will continue to shift focus from deep-well pools to splash pads
and aquatic centers, which have lower maintenance costs and increased revenue
potential.

The Medical Examiner will update x-ray equipment so that lab technicians can operate
the machinery and not have to rely on private contractors

The Finance and Audit Committee is holding hearings on September 9, 10, 15 and
16. What about releasing information about what the typical worker receives in
wages and benefits versus a typical county employee? That might generate some
interesting discussion at the public hearings.

J ust talked to Mark Thomas, Deputy to Timberlake. He wants a two month deal for
J an and Feb. He wants the numbers broken out for the actual space rental and the
administrative overhead. He indicated he got a number of something like $240K
per month all inclusive.
He said he thought the rate was a little high and I told him it included support cost
(IMSD, etc) and the cost are what they are. I told him we would break it out for
him, but I was not going to take a "bite on the butt" to save him $. Yes, I said that
to him. He knows I am a numbers person and I have to recover my costs. When he
told me he did not think they could be out by end of December, I told him in the
absence of any written commitment, my budget assumes right now that the IT
systems are shut down on 12/31. They are acting as if they are in the drivers seat
and I wanted to let them know that they were not. Getting something in writing
right now is paramount.
It was pleasant, but frank conversation.
Lisa, can you email him the lease cost and support costs and cc me on the email.
He did indicate the RFP they did for space indicated a Feb 1 occupancy date. He
wants an extra month in case the building is not ready on Feb.1.
Let's give him the # and give them a time when we need written agreement.

Not sure I agree with that tactic. The State caused DHHS to jump through hoops
and over high hurdles to get them numbers, then added more demands to the mix
and that was dealt with timely and even after all that, they wanted more. In the
end, I believe the just used our data to leverage their deal for the Coakley property.

I don't think an appeal will do any good . Clearly the board knows we've extended
every effort to respond to the multiple demands from Timberlake and company.
We really do have to move on and put in place a plan to get us out of City Campus
and moved into Coggs and elsewhere. That's just my opinion.

Subject: State Appeal Process
The more that I think about it, the more I think that it makes sense for DHHS to file
an appeal with the state over the IM space contract. At the same time, we should
still aggressively pursue the closure and sale of City Campus with the staff being
moved to the courthouse and to Coggs.
Filing an appeal will allow the members of the County Board to focus their angst on
the state and not on us. Plus, if our appeal is successful, we are still likely to move
most of the City Campus staff into the courthouse and wait to move Aging in to
Coggs at the end of 2010 - so there would be some space available yet in 2010.
Thoughts?

MAJOR INITIATIVES

Provides $194.3 million in levy support for public safety agencies, an increase of
$16.1 million.
Key decision items
o Sheriff
As a result of the HOC/Sheriff merger, the Sheriffs office
implements a reorganization, approved in May 2009, that increases
efficiency and saves $2.5 million
The J ailer Initiative is continued whereby 42 FTE vacant Deputy
Sheriff 1 positions are replaced with 42 FTE Correction Officer 1
positions for a savings of $1.0 million
3 FTE Deputy Sheriff Positions are added to provide increased
patrols of I-94 during construction at a cost of $67,469
A daily boarding fee of $6 for all sentenced inmates at the House
of Correction is implemented for an anticipated revenue of
$100,000.
o District Attorney
1.0 FTE Clerical Assistant 2 position is added to the budget to
assist with increased workload due to the need to comply with
court orders to transcribe state statute required interrogations.
All investigators are equipped with tasers to improve their ability
to use non-lethal force during confrontations.
o Medical Examiner
Lab technicians will be cross-trained in using newly purchased x-
ray equipment so that a professional service contract is no longer
needed. This will save $11,500 in 2010.
o Courts
Universal screening is authorized if grant funding becomes
available. Universal screening will help identify defendants who
would benefit from diversionary programs resulting in a decrease
in the jail population. The cost of this program is $1.0 million
Expenditures are re-estimated based on 2009 cost-saving imitative
for a total savings of $160,000

Almost $10 million in capital investments for public safety.



Provide $450,000 and 4.0 FTE and consulting funds for creation of Office of
Economic Opportunity attached to the County Executives Office.
-One director and three business advocates
-Work in concert with municipal officials and ED agents to provide
comprehensive ED strategy and comprehensive assistance to businesses.
-Focus on business retention/expansion/re-location
-See attached.

Accelerate County building program by issuing approximately $120 million
bonds over next two years. Projects will be completed over the next four years.
Key capital projects include:


Use Build America Bonds for County capital program to achieve 35% credit on
interest payments.

Work with business to issue over $18 million Recovery Zone Facility bonds for
private endeavors. These bonds will allow businesses to issue lower-interest, tax-
exempt bonds through Milwaukee County. Bonds must be issued by December
31, 2010.

Transportation

No Route Eliminations

New Buses - Provide $46 million over three years to purchase 125 clean diesel
buses. Fifty-five buses will begin delivery April-August 2010 with remaining
buses delivered before close of 2012. [$16.4 million county bonding/$16.6
federal stimulus/$13.1 million federal funds.

Bus Rapid Transit - Provide $43 million [County $6.5 million/FED $36.6
million] in 2010 and 2011 for construction of Wisconsin Avenue BRT line and
purchase of BRT buses. Targeted completion date mid 2011.

Continued expansion of New Freedom Program by increasing county efforts to
assist para-transit riders to ride mass transit for a saving of over $400,000.

Government Reform

Budget almost $30 million in County Employee wage and benefit concessions.
(See Attached).

Outsource housekeeping, Courthouse security services and mainframe operations
and application support. 135 FTE county positions are abolished.

Establish process in cooperation with Zoological Society to transition Zoo
management and operations to a private- not-for-profit corporation. Expected
completion date 2011.

Increased Capital Investment to reduce operating costs

Fleet Program: The fleet replacement schedule will be accelerated to take
advantage of low interest rates and replace an aging fleet. An aggressive
replacement schedule will then be maintained so that most vehicles will remain
under warranty while owned by the County. This will allow the County to reduce
maintenance expenditures and staffing costs in the Fleet division while improving
the condition of the entire fleet.

The Parks department will continue to shift focus from deep-well pools to splash
pads and aquatic centers which have lower maintenance costs and increased
revenue potential.

The Medical Examiner will update x-ray equipment so that lab technicians can operate
the machinery and not have to rely on private contractors

Land sale revenue in Parks will be available for major maintenance (Crystal
Ridge and 68
th
and State).

BHD renovation.

In 2010, 14.0 FTE Park Maintenance Worker II positions will transfer to the
Highways department for approximately 4 months during the winter to assist with
snowplowing operations
decreases costs county-wide by approximately $326,000 as the state reimburses
the County for snowplowing activities on the state highway system.

Create a steering committee that is responsible for recommending policy to the
larger county board; this committee would largely be advised by the operations
committee, which would also be created in the budget.
Funding of $250,000 will be appropriated to retain consultants and outside
counsel as necessary; offsetting revenue or an abatement will be budgeted as well
to make this initiative cost neutral in the budget.

Fund $100,000 for a consultant to help develop a long-term plan for county trunk
highways. Ideas that could be explored and developed include:
o A special assessment for county trunk work (therefore reducing the
bonding and long-term debt);
o Developing a plan for ongoing major maintenance on county trunks;
o Investigating the opportunity to transfer authority over county trunks to
municipalities
o Feasibility of outsourcing county trunk highways to a private vendor.
o Recommending an option to maintain major and minor parkway
thoroughfares.

Mission is to provide a comprehensive strategy for economic development in
Milwaukee County by working in concert with all incorporated municipalities
and their economic development agents. Through the coordinated efforts of
the county and the municipalities, the regional economy will grow through
the retention, expansion and relocation of employers to Milwaukee County.

This comprehensive strategy will differ from previous and existing economic
development efforts through the establishment of a direct communication line
between the employer and an assigned "J obs Advocate" whose sole focus is to
advocate and coordinate with all local, county, state and federal levels of
government for the retention, expansion or relocation of employers. The core
purpose of the office is to leverage the county resources and financial
position for job creation and retention while providing an expanded support
staff with a high level of expertise to support local economic development
efforts.

Office of Economic Advocacy will work with all civic, regional economic
development and non-profit community organizations to act as the central point of
communication for economic development progress and strategy for Milwaukee County.
The purpose of the newly established office is not to create competition with other
counties in the region but foster a better business climate for Milwaukee County and the
region as a whole through better communication and direct cooperation with all local,
state and federal government.

The objective of this new strategy for economic development is to renew a long dormant
social contract of government fostering an open dialogue and cooperative relationship
with privately held businesses that in turn have a stake in the success of their local
community. That success encompasses family supporting jobs, provision of affordable
health care, world-class education for our children and efficient provision of government
services.

Employers enjoy greater success with a supportive business climate that
begins with the attitudes of government officials and our government is best equipped to
provide essential, efficient services with a successful business community. Milwaukee
County will benefit immensely from the success of its employers that give back to their
local communities through volunteer efforts, philanthropic approaches to solving
community issues, and a renewed sense of pride in our local communities.

Restoration of the social contract between government and employers is the critical
component of an economic development strategy to retain and create jobs anywhere. If
employers and employees within Milwaukee County are to return to prosperity, we must
work together to re-establish this social contract.


Develop assessment of infrastructure needs for employers that include access to
transportation systems, site development or expansion,
and utility needs.

institutions (Technical Colleges and Higher Education Institutions) to educate and
train a workforce pool that sustains the employer.

Request participation in competitive bidding of health insurance
from all regional providers based upon desired health plan options by
employer.

Full review of all local and county ordinances that will impact

Prepare thorough and complete proposal for tax incentives, tax

employees.

Jobs Advocate Position Description:

Serve as single point of contact for employers and local municipal
economic development agents in Milwaukee County on all economic
development issues.

Prepare full assessment containing all of the advocacy items listed

Guide employer through all regulation and permit paperwork to ensure

Directly advocate for employer on all permitting and regulatory
issues with all levels of government - local, county, state and federal.

I don't think you had any savings in your budget related to this for 2010
...correct? Having said that, my push was to get it done not for
savings in the CEX budget but rather to be responsive to your needs to
get it done. In other words, if you have not built any savings in
already, I was not planning on attempting to do that.
On another matter, I mentioned to Carr if he could find $ to internally
reallocate for the Business Analysts contract, I think we should try and
get it in the CEX budget. But I have no levy to put towards it. You
could propose abolishing the data analyst and assuming it is funded we
could redirect those $ towards it. Maybe you are confident enough
with some amount of savings related to the above, to count some of
those savings towards the Business analysts? In any event, if you can
find the money internally to create the business analysts contract, I
would like to try and get that in. Let me know.

Date: 08/26/2009 04:00 PM
Subject: OEA
Here are some ideas that were passed on to me (some good, some are
so/so):
Mission is to provide a comprehensive strategy for economic
development in
Milwaukee County by working in concert with all incorporated
municipalities
and their economic development agents. Through the
coordinated efforts of
the county and the municipalities, the regional economy will
grow through
the retention, expansion and relocation of employers to
Milwaukee County.
This comprehensive strategy will differ from previous and existing
economic
development efforts through the establishment of a direct
communication line
between the employer and an assigned "J obs Advocate" whose
sole focus is to
advocate and coordinate with all local, county, state and
federal levels of
government for the retention, expansion or relocation of
employers. The core
purpose of the office is to leverage the county resources and
financial
position for job creation and retention while providing an
expanded support
staff with a high level of expertise to support local economic
development
efforts.
Develop assessment of infrastructure needs for
employers that
includes access to transportation systems, site development
or expansion,
and utility needs.
Draft profile of desired workforce with level of education,
skill
set, worker training that would lead to an action plan with
local education institutions (Technical Colleges and Higher
Education Institutions) to educate and train a workforce
pool that sustains the employer.
Request participation in competitive bidding of health
insurance
from all regional providers based upon desired health plan
options by
employer.
Full review of all local and county ordinances that will
impact
employer in addition to all state/federal permitting that
may be required.
Prepare thorough and complete proposal for tax
incentives, tax
credits and government grants that an employer could
qualify for from all
Encourage minority participation and outreach for both
employers and
employees.
J obs Advocate Position Description:
Serve as single point of contact for employers and local
municipal
economic development agents in Milwaukee County on all
economic development issues.
Prepare full assessment containing all of the advocacy
items listed
Guide employer through all regulation and permit
paperwork to ensure
Directly advocate for employer on all permitting and
regulatory
issues with all levels of government - local, county, state
and federal.
Office of Economic Advocacy will work with all civic,
regional economic
development and non-profit community organizations to
act as the central point of communication for economic
development progress and strategy for Milwaukee
County. The purpose of the newly established office is not
to create competition with other counties in the region but
foster a better business climate for Milwaukee County and
the region as a whole through better communication and
direct cooperation with all local, state and federal
government.
Objective for Office of Economic Advocacy
The objective of this new strategy for economic
development is to renew a long dormant social contract of
government fostering an open dialogue and cooperative
relationship with privately held businesses that in turn have
a stake in the success of their local community. That
success encompasses family supporting jobs, provision of
affordable health care, world-class education for our
children and efficient provision of government services.
Employers enjoy greater success with a supportive business
climate that
begins with the attitudes of government officials and our
government is best equipped to provide essential, efficient
services with a successful business community. Milwaukee
County will benefit immensely from the success of its
employers that give back to their local communities
through volunteer efforts, philanthropic approaches to
solving community issues, and a renewed sense of pride in
our local communities.
Restoration of the social contract between government
and employers is the critical component of an economic
development strategy to retain and create jobs anywhere.
If employers and employees within Milwaukee County are
to return to prosperity, we must work together to re-
establish this social contract.
Potential Tools for Office of Economic Advocacy
Development of Enterprise Zone (Tax Credits) for all of
Milwaukee
County
Allow Wisconsin Counties to create TIFs (Maybe only on
land owned by
the county to be sold for development.)
Community Economic Development Corporation -
creating a holding
company for all land owned by the county that uses
proceeds from the sale for remediation grants or loans for
job creation.

website with little concern about privacy issues. I want to review that data one last time and get it
loaded. We agreed that some of the more problemattic data related to human services, etc required
much more work to ensure we have not breached any privacy issues. We should move forward quickly
on the "safe" data elements we identified.

Next, we need to load salary data. We will need to talk about which data elements to load and format.

The CEX has been very patient on this. It is time to produce something.

We have costed out and included in the budget the economic development office the CEX has
requested. However, we have very little "meat on the bones". We need to define the mission and
functions of the office and the duties of each position. J ob descriptions will have to be written. There is
a revolving loan fund with no funding source and no crteria of how it is to be used. There is also
something called a Land Bank and the duites and role of the economic develoment corporation needs to
be flushed out. We have had little time to work on this since we have been busy with other budget
issues. Someone, if not both of you should come to the below meeting today. I have asked Dillman to
come thinking that he can help us get some of this done. This will be an initiative in the CEX Office
budget and as such we need to be sure there is enough here for you to defend and explain before the
board.

Please let me know who from your office will attend.

We need an agenda which would include review of the resolution the board passed and what steps need
to be taken next. You might want to touch base with J erry on the membership of the old ops team
before proceeding. J ohnson may not be the right persson since he failed to attend many of the
meetings. You and I should also talk about if Rob should be on the team. I have mixed feelings. Talk
to J erry and talk to me re membership before proceeding with scheduling. We also need to keep the
CEX office in the loop since this is not even on their radar screen at this point.

Find out from J erry or Cady what appointments Holloway made. J ursik said he made appointments and
we will need to advise the CEX on those appointments before CEX makes appointments.

Follow up on the things above and then we will meet with Nardelli/Scott before scheduling. We should
move on this quickly since J ursik said she is getting ready to fire off letter complaining that nothing has
been done on this.

County Board Chief of Staff (Cooley)
DAS Director (Henken)
FABA (Archer)

As we discussed the other day, I'd like try and schedule a meeting of the group within the next two
weeks to present the five year forecast and talk about next steps. Is it OK to have J ennifer schedule?

Come help Cindy celebrate as she moves into another decade of life!
Where: Bar Louie (1114 N. Water Street)
When: Monday, August 24th
Time: After work - starting around 5:00-5:30
There will be appetizers and birthday cake. There is a nice outdoor patio if the weather
cooperates.
Suggested topics of conversations include dogs, especially Springer Spaniels - possibly
Chihuahua's, Texas, what it was like working for State government, the tv show Big
Brother, hmmm... that should about do it :) Definitely no talk about politics or how many
calories are in the beer or cake - these topics will get you bounced from the party.
Hope to see you there - significant others are welcome as well. If you know for sure
whether or not you can make it, please let me know. Otherwise, feel free to play it by
ear.
If it looks like I missed anyone on this email, please forward the invite.

Come help Cindy celebrate as she moves into another decade of life!
Where: Bar Louie (1114 N. Water Street)
When: Monday, August 24th
Time: After work - starting around 5:00-5:30
There will be appetizers and birthday cake. There is a nice outdoor patio if the weather
cooperates.
Suggested topics of conversations include dogs, especially Springer Spaniels - possibly
Chihuahua's, Texas, what it was like working for State government, the tv show Big
Brother, hmmm... that should about do it :) Definitely no talk about politics or how many
calories are in the beer or cake - these topics will get you bounced from the party.
Hope to see you there - significant others are welcome as well. If you know for sure
whether or not you can make it, please let me know. Otherwise, feel free to play it by

10:15 PM
Today I gave instructions to Dennis J ohn to give access to the above topic to county board staff due to
Peggy West's suggestion that DAS develop this. Steve also communicated to West that the suggestion
box was completed per her suggestion.

Let me be clear. We initatied this prior to the West suggestion. It was going to be our initiative. It was
completed and was not go live until Tim/Fran drafted the annoucnement that was to go with it. See
below emails. I followed up a number of times with Tim and Fran to get the announcement and Dennis
was instructed not to go live until we got it. Since we never got it, it sat. Several weeks later West
suggested that we do an employee suggestion box to Kreklow. Krekow breifed Walker on it and he said
give her credit for it since we never got it done. Hence my decision to open it up to Board staff.

I followed the direction of the CEX office. We developed it and delayed until we got an announcement
from Tim/Fran. The reason it never went live was because we never got the annoucement and I gave
up on asking for it. Therefore, West beat us to the punch. Therefore, County Board staff will now have
access to it. If there is angst about giving West credit and giving county board staff access, that would
be an internal issue for the CEX Office staff.

Subject: Energy cost savings suggestion
Dear Ms. Archer:

At this time of fiscal crisis I would like to renew my suggestion about employee appliances and payment
to keep same on County property. If you recall, when you issued the memo last fall about everyone
turning off lights and computers and no heaters (which many of my co-workers ignore) I suggested
that the county cut electric costs by charging an annual fee to all employees in all buildings for their
personal appliances in county buildings. This would be in the form of a very simple sticker per
appliance that would have to be renewed annually. For example, cube refrigerators $50, microwaves
$25, coffee maker $25, radio $5, fans $5, etc. This could offset a large portion of the electric charges
used by these appliances in the buildings. Another way to determine the amount to charge would be
to investigate on-line the actual cost of running that stuff and charge that. I suspect WE Energies
either has that on their website or they could get it for you. This is the kind of cost cutting measure
that will immediately save the county money and into the future. Further, failure to comply may have
to become an employee disciplinary measure since confiscation isn't working (there are fans and
heaters all over the place) or fine of double the fee for the first offense, and whatever is appropriate
after that. By the way, the fees would also have to apply to State employees who are in County
buildings.

I also suggest that a good way to find out what else can be cut around the county is to form
department committees of line workers who probably know where the fat is on a day to day basis.
These committees would be expected to come up with a proposed list of non-essentials that could go
either temporarily or permanently. Managers, no disrespect intended, tend to protect their budgets. If
line workers are looking for cuts to save jobs, they will dig deep and may know where the skeletons are
hidden.

Dear Editor:

I am responding to your editorial of August 20, wherein you omitted important details
that were previously included in your own news story regarding travel expenditures of
the Milwaukee County Executives office and staff.

The editorial fails to include the fact that the 2009 Annual Harley Ride was not paid for
by the taxpayers, but rather through a promotional fee paid for by ChooseMilwaukee.com
and by AirTran Airlines. Had that point been mentioned, it would have been clear to
readers that the majority of Milwaukee County travel costs do not come from this office.

Further, when the County Executive became aware of the fact that the County had no
limits on the amount of hotel room reimbursements for county employees, he directed the
Department of Administrative Services DAS Director to develop a policy limiting such
costs to those allowed under federal guidelines. send a new policy to the County Board
that would limit the amount of such reimbursements to The County Board adopted this
policy on _____just what is allowed for under federal guidelines.

Our office checks all travel web sites looking for low air and hotel fares whenever travel
is necessary. I believe the record clearly demonstrates that our office trips are rare and
inexpensive and that the County Executive is committed to controlling such costs
countywide.

Sincerely,

Thomas G. Nardelli

Subject: Impact of Nurses Contract on Revenue
Dave / Steve:
The health plan rate changes in the nurses contract increases revenue
by $75,000 for 2010, with an additional increase coming in 2011. I'm
adding this to 194 1950 4991 for the 2010 request.
If we apply the same change to Non-Reps, we would increase
contributions by another $215,000. I have not adjusted the 2010
budget request for this yet, as we would need board approval to make
it happen. I am assuming that this will not be discussed at the board
level until we start the budget process with them. Unless I receive
other direction, I'll proceed with open enrollment on the assumption
that only the Nurses are changing effective 1/1/2010.
From a communications standpoint, we are going to print on open
enrollment materials around 9/15. Any changes to benefits after that
date will require separate communications to impacted groups, and will
incur additional programming costs from Ceridian, etc. Most changes
can still be done after 9/15, but they become difficult to execute for a
seamless transition on 1/1/10.

My position has been consistent on this. When we met with J ack and Russel weeks
ago, I had asked for a back up plan. I continue to think we need a back up plan. I
would think that plan would include the mothball cost of City Campus as we
discussed and any move and build out $ to migrate staff to other spaces. J ohn
mentioned yesterday that the plan was to start the planning process for the move of
Aging in the fourth quarter of 2010. You seem to be indicating a different approach
focused on moving out of CC. Which is it? In any event, if there are plans to do
something which it seems there are from your and Ruggini's comments, it is time to
put pencil to paper, get the timeline and get the $. If there are no plans, I would
apprciate it if we quit bringing it up to the CEX as if there are.

Please resolve it one way or the other today in terms of what we are shooting for (or
not). I am tired of hearing about it with no concrete direction.

I think you raise some valid points. We need much more detailed before we could
present this as a 'plan.' The space planning group has been working on this for well
over a year now, perhaps they would be able to put together some of the detail that
is necessary. I have a budget update meeting with J ack at 9. Would you like me to
bring it up to him then or would it be better to discuss it in his update with the CEX?
I also think we need to complete a formal appraisal of City Campus to determine
what we might be able sell it for. The Common Council would likely require a
formal appraisal before they agree to a purchase and I think it is unlikely that they
will be willing to pay much more than it is worth. Perhaps Tim and Craig Dillman
could work on this piece.
Thanks.

up plan ready to "slot" into the budget if this state lease falls apart. J ohn
mentioned to today budgeting funds for a move of aging out in the 4th quarter. We
have also talked about mothballing city campus and moving these folks. What is
the back up plan and when do we intend to brief the CEX on it?

can't do lunch. we are briefing over lunch with CEX starting at 11:30. I
just need to talk to you about the email I sent on the MPM. The
question from the CEX was "is it legal" to propose a nonprofit like the
MPM as part of the budget...if we were to do it, what would it look
like. I am doing some research on it now --

Hi! I met you yesterday at the doggy dip and you said you had a good shot of my dog. She was the springer
spaniel totally obsessed with her tennis ball. see attached.
I would love a copy of what you have!

No! I'd love to see you again for a nice long visit. I'm just saying that I'm not even going to my niece's wedding in
Denver next month because it'll be too hard on me physically. And I *really* wanted to be there for that. Maybe if
I could ride the stupid golf cart that old crippled people use at the airport, be picked up curbside, and driven from
point A to point B, I could see Milwaukee. I've never been in that part of the country and LOOOOVE snow. I still
haven't gotten over the wonder and magic of the occasional snowfalls we had in Austin when I was a child! One
Christmas I was in NYC and we went to Central Park after an especially heavy snowfall. It was an AMAZING
winter wonderland, something I'll never forget. I'm just saying traveling is hard on me, much as it pains me to
admit it.

You're always welcome here, anytime...

Are you saying you dont think seeing each other is a good idea or that you cant come here, but I could
come there?

From: Carol Nickels [mailto:cnickels@austin.rr.com]
To: carcher
Subject: Re: J ust so you know

Yeah, in a way it makes sense. I dunno about the seeing each other part though. I used to LOVE going to
visit my friend Paul in NYC - I went 14 times in a period of about 5 years. The thing about NYC though, is
that you have to walk so damn much, everywhere you go - - everywhere! And I'm not good with the
walking anymore. I love the city and would love to spend more time there now that I have a place to stay,
a personal tour guide with an amazing knowledge of the city, and the time and money to do it. But I don't
go, because it's too hard on me physically. So we make do with daily phone calls. He's just a platonic
friend, with quite a bit of his own neurotic behaviors, but I love him dearly and would like to see him more
often. But I can't anymore.

As you say, maybe you'll make it down HERE some day - some long weekend during the dead of winter
when it's 67 degrees....


From: carcher

Subject: Just so you know

We will see each other at some point. I will either come down or you will come up. Count on it.

I have not called because I fear that somehow talking on the phone will take away from the richness
of our emails. Does that make sense? The words on the screen seem priceless and I dont want to
lose that or mess it up by phone calls. At least not yet. Does that make sense?----- Forwarded by

I've attached two. They didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. One is a little soft and the other isn't quite from the right angle.
