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.
To achieve this, the following steps are recommended:
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.

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.

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

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
CArcher_Journal3000293
CArcher_Journal3000294
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.
CArcher_Journal3000295
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
CArcher_Journal3000300
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.

We discussed this at length with the CEX. His direction at the time was to use any funds
available after we tied out to increase the contingent fund. If we had done that the
contingent fund would have been nearly 7 million.

Next time the CEX Office request information related to the budget, it is our job to get it for
them not to refer them off to a department. If needed you or your staff should call the
department to get the info. on behalf of CEX Office. If the info requested is qualativve in
nature and you are not comfortbale responding, asking them to talk to deparjtment is fine.
In this case they wanted a number and we should have secured that for them.

The 2,500 figure refers only to the people on the wait list. More people will be served by the
program. I don't have a number, but I'm sure you could get one from DHHS.

The talking points showed that the expansion of Family Care will allow services to be
provided to an estimated 2,500 adults. Steve asked the CE if that was accurate, thought
the number was larger.
Also - I have attached a draft release that is just issuing the highlights, without reference to
the individual agencies. Is it ok like this?

HR narrative -- transfer of staff to departments

There is a sentence in the DHSS narrative that nicely states the rationale for moving HR staff
back into the departments. I would like this exact sentence in every budget narrative for
department's impacted. I have seen it written different ways in different department
narratives. Could you please make sure it is stated the same in all narratives and use the
DHSS languge as the template? thanks.

J ust give me a draft of where they are now. This is mainly for speech prep and before any
#s are used we will verify with your staff. They need to see the highlights to outline the
initiatives they want to mention in the speech. I don't think salary numbers are going to that
important at this point. They are only looking for topics and again we will verify # later.

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.

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.
CArcher_Journal3000332
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.
CArcher_Journal3000337
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.
CArcher_Journal3000338
(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.
CArcher_Journal3000339
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

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
week -- public safety/constitional officers/health care?

J ohn will be e-mail a spreadsheet with our first cut at the allocation to
departments shortly. This is a straight allocation with no adjustments.
These numbers will be very difficult for departments to hit.

I believe you should go ahead and work off of these numbers. They
will not change before the end of the day. If we have reason to reduce
the projected deficit, we can make adjustments next week.

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 account potential service level impacts - it is just a straight
allocation.

The board committee mtg today covered some state approved employee benefit
changes that will impact the county. Do you have info on:
1. State approved employee benefits for dependent eligibility health coverage for a)
non-student dependents up to age 27, and b) dependent students no age limit, that
could increase costs for county $500K - $2million?
2. Autism insurance coverage
3. State approved domestic partnerships but no requirement for counties to insure
the domestic partner. The supervisors are interested in finding out that cost for the
county.

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,

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?

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to
help another without helping himself.

A simple check-mark makes a difference.

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

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

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.

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.

Cindy,
I'm proposing the following language be included in each departmental narrative - please let me know if
CArcher_Journal3000431
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
CArcher_Journal3000438
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.

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-
CArcher_Journal3000440
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!

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
CArcher_Journal3000461
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
CArcher_Journal3000462
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.

With your okay, I'd now like to try the following:
Thursday, Sept. 10: 3 or 4 hours vacation
Friday, Sept. 11: med appointment in morning, vacation balance of the day
Wednesday, Sept. 16 through Sept. 18, vacation.
CArcher_Journal3000463
Need to be in on Tuesday, Sept. 15, earlier had hoped to be off, but need to attend a meeting.
Hope to whittle down the days and use balance not to exceed carryover amount. So, will take days as coverage and
schedule permit. Might be last minute requests to do that.

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.

the last individual quitting from Central Payroll. The person that we are looking to hire was a temp employee
in central payroll and has a familiarity with Ceridian. The person would be offered step 1 of the payrange.

I don't see a problem in any of this. I expect that they will try to draw him in to making the point that new
revenues will also help close the gap (which they would). He should brush that off as a policy decision and
come back to the point that this forecast is about the objective facts and not advocating for or against a
policy. That is for others to do.

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
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.
Again, a word from you by Friday on how I should plan would be much appreciated.
Thanks

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.

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.

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
CArcher_Journal3000489
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.

Subject: RE: Coggs space for two months
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.
Again, a word from you by Friday on how I should plan would be much appreciated.
Thanks

housekeeping? Is the Info Technology cost based on a certain amount of computer workstations? If so, what
are you basing it on?

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
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 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.
NEED CLOSING PARAGRAPH

CArcher_Journal3000508
MAJOR INITIATIVES
Protecting Public Safety
Provides $194.3 million in levy support for public safety agencies, an increase of $16.1
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

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.
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.

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

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.

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.
CArcher_Journal3000510
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.
CArcher_Journal3000511
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.

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
CArcher_Journal3000513
Second Quarter Fiscal Report for 2009
Department of Administrative Services
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
CArcher_Journal3000514

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.

2010 CEX RECOMMENDED BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
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 age of 18-59 with disabilities with choices
regarding the most appropriate 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 reduce the institutional placement
and provide more options to those served.
Transition of over 80 individuals with disabilities into the Family Care program will reduce
the costs of providing various non-waiver services by more than $1.0 million with no impact on
the services these individuals receive.
The 2010 Budget continues to provide $2.0 million for the following supportive services.
- $620,000 for Community Support Living Services

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.

You can let them know the report is coming down, but I have not reviewed it
therefore it cannot be passed out at agenda setting. No reports go to the Board

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

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)
1.56% annual increase
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
CArcher_Journal3000574
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
3.3% annual increase
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.
CArcher_Journal3000575
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.
CArcher_Journal3000576

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)
CArcher_Journal3000577
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

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.

Draft Zoo proposal attached
Cynthia
Archer
to: Scott Walker, Thomas G Nardelli, Tim Russell
09/04/2009
05:51 PM
Cc: Bill Domina, Chuck Wikenhauser
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.

The attached should be enough for your analyst to start the narrative. The details in the attached document
should be included in the narrative. The details discussed in the email below should NOT be included in the
narrative. Any questions, follow up with Chuck. If I get feedback or changes from SKW or others, I will pass
that along. Other than the legal $, there should be no fiscal impact. Talk to Bill about where to put this in his
budget. $ should be in Corp Counsel, not the Zoo.

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.
Thanks.

Subject: Budget review/highlights/etc
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.

The attached is based on my conversations with the CEX Office. All of these things 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 topics under each heading?

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.
CArcher_Journal3000597
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.

2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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

2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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.

2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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

CArcher_Journal3000614
Milwaukee County
2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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
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.

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.

2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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.

Unfunded Liabilities
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.

2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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.

2009 Financial Trends Analysis
PENSION ASSETS
Description
Pension assets are held primarily as cash or investments. A
decline in the ratio 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 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
policy change (POBs), and should be monitored closely in the long term.

DRAFT
2010 Budget Proposal: Not-for-profit Public Zoo
REVISED
9/4/09
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.
To achieve this, the following steps are recommended:
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
Milwaukee County Zoo Director
Milwaukee County Chief Corporation Counsel
Representatives from DAS and County Board staff
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.
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/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
CArcher_Journal3000668
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.

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).

mothballing City Campus. Vince is reviewing the numbers to make sure they're

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.

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.

Subject: RE: Coggs space for two months
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.
Again, a word from you by Friday on how I should plan would be much appreciated.

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.

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

Thank you.

Dear Ms. Archer,

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.

$330,000. I thought when we ended today we were down about $1 million even with
adding back EMS. So given these new # are we now up $1.3 million?
Let me make it a little simpler if I can.
Plug these numbers in ($2.3 million rev increase)
Fully Fund EMS
Keep Contingency at $6 million

Milwaukee County
2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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

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.

2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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

CArcher_Journal3000718
Milwaukee County
2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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
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.

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.

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 ???

2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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.

2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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 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,
indicating an improving ability to repay outstanding obligations. Because this indicator increased
in 2008, it should be monitored closely.

Unfunded Liabilities
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.

2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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.

2009 Financial Trends Analysis
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.

2010 Budget Proposal: Not-for-profit Public Zoo
REVISED
8/29/09
The resources required to maintain a world-class Zoo in Milwaukee County have grown
beyond what can be supported by the property tax. To ensure the continued success of
the Zoo
Authorize the creation of a not-for-profit corporation to assume operation and
management of the Milwaukee County Zoo effective March 1, 2011.
Create a Steering Committee Workgroup to oversee the development of draft legal
documents necessary to implement the change in governance. Draft legal documents
include the Article of Incorporation, By-Laws and Lease and Management
Agreement.
Steering Committee Workgroup would consist of:
Representatives of the Zoological Society
Milwaukee County Zoo Director
Milwaukee County Chief Corporation Counsel
Representatives from DAS and County Board staff
Are we sure we do not want Chief of Saffs from CEX and Board Chair Office??
Establish the as the Chair of the Steering Committee, the Chief Corporation Counsel
of Milwaukee County.
Provide $60,000 to the Office of Corporation Counsel for outside legal assistance as
required.
Authorize the Steering Committee Workgroup to form subcommittees, as required, to
develop transition plans necessary to complete the successful transition from County
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 are to be transitioned to the
new corporation.
Direct the Steering Committee Workgroup to provide to the Milwaukee County Parks
and Recreation Committee for review and approval, the draft legal documents
necessary to implement the transition of Zoo governance by _INSERT DATE. Where
is a Role for the CEX in review and Approval? Hence maybe the need to have CEX
Office and Board Chair Chief of Staffs on steering committee.

DRAFT
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.
CArcher_Journal3000755
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.
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
levels of government.
Encourage minority participation and outreach for both employers and
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
our actuaries. The amount isn't that large ($150-$200K) in aggregate because
the base ($2.4M) is small.
We should get this firmed up shortly.

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

Subject: Re: Utilization above $2,500 and admin load
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
CArcher_Journal3000760
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%.

I will assume the space is empty and proceed accordingly.

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.

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.
Again, a word from you by Friday on how I should plan would be much
appreciated.
Thanks

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.

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.

Based on what I heard in the briefing with SKW this AM, the operational savings related to

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.

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
will follow the normal process. I will follow up with Greg.
However, be award at some point during the budget debate you will be asked
for a list of potential layoffs in total. If you have that, give it to me but again
the immediate issue is meeting the requirements related to privatization.

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.

terminate, Lessee hereby waiving all rights of redemption.
e) Lessee agrees that any improvements to the Premises made by Lessor for the benefit of
Lessee shall be the property of Lessor. Such improvements exclude any of Lessees system
furniture, conventional furniture and all other Lessee personal property.
f) Lesse will not cause any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, kept or used on the Property
in a manner or for a purpose prohibited by or that could result in liability under any Hazardous
Materials Law. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, will comply with all Hazardous Materials
Laws and prudent industry practice relating to the presence, treatment, storage, transportation,
disposal, release or management of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Property
required for Lessee use of the Premises and will notify Lessor of any and all Hazardous
Materials Lessee brings upon, keeps or uses on the Property (other than small quantities of
office cleaning or other office supplies as are customarily used by a lessee in the ordinary
course in a general office facility). On or before the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, will completely remove from the Property
(regardless whether any Hazardous Materials Law requires removal), in compliance with all
Hazardous Materials Laws, all Hazardous Materials Lessee causes to be present in, on, under
or about the Property. Lessee will not take any remedial action in response to the presence of
any Hazardous Materials in on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement
agreement, consent decree or other compromise with respect to any Claims relating to or in any
way connected with Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Property, without first
notifying Lessor of Lessees intention to do so and affording Lessor reasonable opportunity to
investigate, appear, intervene and otherwise assert and protect Lessors interest in the Property.
CArcher_Journal3000796
Lessee will release, indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor), protect
and hold harmless the Lessor from and against any and all Claims whatsoever arising or
resulting, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from the presence, treatment, storage,
transportation, disposal, release or management of Hazardous Materials in, on, under, upon or
from the Property (including water tables and atmosphere) resulting from or in any way related
to Lessees use of the Premises or Property. Lessees obligations under this section include,
without limitation and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, (a) the costs of any required or
necessary repair, clean-up, detoxification or decontamination of the Property; (b) the costs of
implementing any closure, remediation or other required action in connection therewith as
stated above; (c) the value of any loss of use and any diminution in value of the Property; and
(d) consultants' fees, experts' fees and response costs. The obligations of Lessee under this
section survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
g) Pursuant to 56.30(6)(d) of the Milwaukee County Code of Ordinances, the Lessee shall
allow Milwaukee County, the Milwaukee County Department of Audit, or any other party the
Milwaukee County may name, when and as they demand, to audit, examine and make copies of
records in any form and format, meaning any medium on which written, drawn, printed, spoken,
visual or electromagnetic information is recorded or preserved, regardless of physical form or
characteristics, which has been created or is being kept by Lessee, including not limited to,
handwritten, typed or printed pages, maps, charts, photographs, films, recordings, tapes
(including computer tapes), computer files, computer printouts and optical disks, and excerpts or
transcripts from any such records or other information directly relating to matters under this
Lease, all at no cost to Milwaukee County. Lessee shall maintain and make available to
Milwaukee County the aforementioned audit information for no less than three years after the
conclusion of the lease term.
15 INSURANCE.
damage and public/general liability claims. In addition, section 895.46 and 893.82 The State of
Wisconsin Self-Funded Liability and Property Programs protect the Lessee. Wisconsin Statutes
provide funds to pay property damage and public/general liability claims. In addition, section
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.
CArcher_Journal3000797
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.
18 NOTICES.
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
a post paid envelope, addressed to the Lessor at Lessor's last known address, and such notice
shall be deemed to be given at thetime when the same shall be thus mailed. Such notices
provided hereunder shall be addressed as follows:
If to Lessor:
If to Lessee: State Leasing Officer
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration

P.O. Box 7866
Madison, WI 53707-7866
19 Default
If default is made in any of the covenants or conditions to be kept, observed and performed by
the Lessee, and such default continues for 30 days after notice thereof in writing to
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,
CArcher_Journal3000798
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.
The Lessee understands and agrees that if the Lessee files a petition of bankruptcy, it will not
release the Lessee from the fulfillment of the terms and conditions of the lease
agreement.
20 Security Deposit
At the time of signing this lease agreement, the Lessee will give the Lessor a security
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.
21 Sublease and Assignment
The Lessee shall not assign this Lease in any event, and shall not sublet the demised Premises,
and will not permit the use of said Premises by anyone other than the Lessee, and the
agents, contractors, grantors and grantees, and servants of the Lessee, without prior
written approval of the Lessor.
22 Maintenance
The Lessor's obligations for maintenance include:
- the roof, outside walls, and other structural parts of the building
- the parking lot, driveways, and sidewalks including snow and ice removal
- the sewer, water pipes, and other matters related to plumbing
- the electrical wiring
- the air conditioning system
- all other items of maintenance not specifically delegated to the Lessee under this
lease.
- all housekeeping and janitorial services not specifically delegated to the Lessee
under this lease.
CArcher_Journal3000799
23 Utilities and Services
The Lessor is responsible for all utilities and services incurred in connection with the
Leased Premises.
24 Alterations and Improvements
The Lessee, at the Lessee's expense, has the right following the Lessor's consent to
remodel, redecorate, and make additions, improvements, or replacements to all or
any part of the Leased Premises from time to time as the Lessee may deem
desirable, provided the same are made in a workmanlike manner and utilizing good
quality materials. The Lessee has the right to place and install personal property,
trade fixtures, equipment and other temporary installations in and upon the Leased
Premises, and fasten the same to the Leased Premises. All personal property,
equipment, machinery, trade fixtures and temporary installations, whether acquired
by the Lessee at the commencement of the lease term or placed or installed on the
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
caused by such removal is repaired by the Lessee at the Lessee's expense.
Along with any request for Lessors consent, Lessee will deliver to Lessor plans and
specifications for the Alterations and names and addresses of all prospective
contractors for the Alterations. If Lessor approves the proposed Alterations, Lessee,
before commencing the Alterations or delivering (or accepting delivery of) any
materials to be used in connection with the Alterations, will deliver to Lessor for
Lessors reasonable approval copies of all contracts, proof of insurance, copies of
any contractor safety programs, copies of all necessary permits and licenses and
such other information relating to the Alterations as Lessor reasonably requests.
Lessee will not commence the Alterations before Lessor, in Lessors reasonable
discretion, approves the foregoing deliveries. Lessee will construct all approved
Alterations or cause all approved Alterations to be constructed (a) promptly by a
contractor Lessor approves in writing in Lessors sole and absolute discretion, (b) in a
good and workmanlike manner, (c) in compliance with all Laws, (d) in accordance
with all orders, rules and regulations of the Board of Fire Underwriters having
jurisdiction over the Premises and any other body exercising similar functions, and
(e) in full compliance with all of Lessors rules and regulations applicable to third party
contractors, subcontractors and suppliers performing work at the Property.
25 Property Taxes
The Lessor will pay, prior to delinquency, all general real estate taxes and installments of
special assessments due during the lease term on the Leased Premises, and all
personal property taxes with respect to the Lessor's personal property, if any, on the
Leased Premises. The Lessee is responsible for paying all personal property taxes
with respect to the Lessee's personal property at the Leased Premises.
Lessee, prior to delinquency, will pay all taxes charged against Lessees trade fixtures and
other personal property. Lessee will use all reasonable efforts to have such trade
fixtures and other personal property taxed separately from the Property. If any of
CArcher_Journal3000800
Lessees trade fixtures and other personal property are taxed with the Property,
Lessee will pay the taxes attributable to Lessees trade fixtures and other personal
property to Lessor as Additional Rent.
26 Signs
Following the Lessor's consent, the Lessee has the right to place on the Leased Premises,
at locations selected by the Lessee, any signs which are permitted by applicable
zoning ordinances and private restrictions. The Lessor may refuse consent to any
proposed signage that is in the Lessor's opinion too large, deceptive, unattractive, or
otherwise inconsistent with or inappropriate to the Leased Premises or use of any
other Lessee. The Lessor will assist and cooperate with the Lessee in obtaining any
necessary permission from governmental authorities or adjoining owners and
occupants for the Lessee to place or construct the foregoing signs. The Lessee will
repair all damage to the Leased Premises resulting from the removal of signs
installed by the Lessee.
27 Lessors Right of Entry
In addition to Lessors continuous right of entry to perform maintenance responsibilities under
paragraph 22 of this Lease, Lessor, with 24 hours written notice, has the right during
the term of this lease agreement to enter during reasonable hours to inspect the
Leased Premises, make repairs or improvements, or to show prospective buyers
and/or Lessees the property. As provided by law, in the event of an emergency, the
Lessor reserves the right to enter the Leased Premises without notice. It is required
that the Lessor have a working set of keys and/or security codes to gain access to
the Leased Premises. Therefore, the Lessee will not change locks, install additional
locks, bolts, or security systems without the written consent of the Lessor.
Unauthorized installation or changing of any locks will be replaced at the Lessees
expense. The Lessee is responsible for any and all damages that may occur as a
result of forcible entry during an emergency where there was an unauthorized
placement of a lock.
During the last three months of this lease, or any extension of this lease, the Lessor is allowed
to display the usual "For Rent" signs and show the Leased Premises to prospective
Lessees.
28 Parking
The Lessee is entitled to use Lessors Parking Lot C, providing ( 00) parking space(s) for
the parking of the Lessee's customers'/guests' motor vehicle(s).
29 Rules and Regulations
The Lessee will comply with the rules of the building adopted and altered by the Lessor
from time to time, and will cause all of its agents, employees, invitees and visitors to
do so. All changes to such rules will be sent by the Lessor to the Lessee in writing.
CArcher_Journal3000801
The initial rules for the building are attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated
herein for all purposes.
30 Security Not Promised
The Lessee has inspected and acknowledges that all door and window locks, fire
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.
31 Abandonment
If the Lessee vacates the Leased Premises before the end of the lease term without written
permission from the Lessor, the Leased Premises is then considered to be
abandoned and the Lessee is in default of this lease agreement. Under these
circumstances, the Lessee may be responsible for damages and losses allowed by
state, federal and local regulations.
32 Joint and Several Liability
The Lessee understands and agrees that if there is more than one Lessee that has signed
the lease agreement, each Lessee is individually and completely responsible for all
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
resulting from construction done by or for the Lessee.
33 Legal Remedies, Arbitration
Any controversy or claim relating to this contract, including the construction or application of
this contract, will be settled, at Lessors sole discretion, either by civil litigation in any
court of proper jurisdiction, or, binding arbitration under the rules of the American
Arbitration Association, and any judgment granted by the arbitrator(s) may be
enforced in any court of proper jurisdiction.
34 Misrepresentation
CArcher_Journal3000802
If any information provided by the Lessee in application for this lease is found to be
knowingly incorrect, untruthful and/or misleading, it is a breach of the lease.
35 Storage
The Lessee is entitled to store items of personal property in leased premises during the
term of this lease. The Lessor is not liable for loss of, or damage to, such stored
items.
36 Habitability
The Lessee has inspected the Leased Premises and fixtures (or has had the Leased
Premises inspected on behalf of the Lessee), and acknowledges that the Leased
Premises are in a reasonable and acceptable condition of habitability for their
intended use, and the agreed lease payments are fair and reasonable. If the
condition changes so that, in the Lessee's opinion, the habitability and rental value of
the Leased Premises are adversely affected, the Lessee will promptly provide
reasonable notice to the Lessor.
37 Holdover
If the Lessee maintains possession of the Leased Premises for any period after the
termination of this lease (referred to as "holdover period"), the Lessee will pay the
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
by law). Such holdover will constitute a month-to-month extension of this lease.
38 Remodeling or Structural Improvements
The Lessee is allowed to conduct any construction or remodeling (at the Lessee's expense)
only with the prior written consent of the Lessor, in accordance with paragraph 24. At
the end of the lease term, the Lessee is entitled to remove (or will remove at the
Lessors request) such fixtures, and will restore the Leased Premises to substantially
the same condition of the Leased Premises at the commencement of this lease.
39 Indemnity Regarding Use of Premises
To the extent permitted by law, the Lessee agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend
the Lessor from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, and expenses,
including reasonable attorney fees, if any, which the Lessor may suffer or incur in
connection with the Lessee's possession, use or misuse of the Leased Premises,
except the Lessor's act or negligence.
Nothing contained in this Lease shall constitute or be construed to create a partnership or
joint venture between Lessor or its successors or assigns and Lessee or its
successors or assigns. In entering into this Lease, and in acting in compliance
CArcher_Journal3000803
herewith, Lessee is at all times acting and performing independently, and is duly
authorized to perform the acts required of it hereunder.
40 Surrender of the Premises
Lessee will surrender the Premises to Lessor at the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear, permitted
Alterations and damage by casualty or condemnation excepted, and will surrender all
keys to the Premises to Lessor. Lessee will at such time remove all of its property
from the Premises and, if Lessor so requests, all specified Alterations and
improvements Lessee placed on the Premises. Lessee will promptly repair any
damage to the Premises caused by such removal. If Lessee does not surrender the
Premises in accordance with this section, Lessee will release, indemnify, defend (with
counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor) protect and hold harmless Lessor from and
against any Claim resulting from Lessees delay in so surrendering the Premises,
including, without limitation, any Claim made by any succeeding occupant founded on
such delay. All property of Lessee not removed on or before the last day of the Term
is deemed abandoned. Lessee appoints Lessor as Lessees agent to remove, at
Lessees sole cost and expense, all of Lessees property from the Premises upon
termination of this Lease and to cause its transportation and storage for Lessees
benefit, all at the sole cost and risk of Lessee, and Lessor will not be liable for
damage, theft, misappropriation or loss thereof or in any manner in respect thereto.
41 Governing Law
The law under which this agreement will be governed, construed and interpreted will be
those of the state of Wisconsin.
42 Headings
The headings used in this lease are for convenience of the parties only and should not be
considered in interpreting the meaning of any provision of this lease.
43 Successors
The provisions of this lease extend to and are binding upon the Lessor and Lessee and
their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.
44 Subordination
The Lessee accepts this lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, or other
lien presently existing or hereafter arising upon the Leased Premises, or upon the
building, and to any renewals, refinancing and extensions thereof, but the Lessee
agrees that any such mortgagee has the right at any time to subordinate such
mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien to this lease on such terms and subject to such
conditions as such mortgagee may deem appropriate in its discretion. The Lessor is
CArcher_Journal3000804
hereby irrevocably vested with full power and authority to subordinate this lease to
any mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien now existing or hereafter placed upon the
Leased Premises of the Building, and the Lessee agrees upon demand to execute
such further instruments subordinating this lease or attorning to the holder of any
such liens as the Lessor may request. In the event that the Lessee should fail to
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
CArcher_Journal3000805
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.

agreement, including any addendums, and that they have received the following:

OK, NOW I am laughing!! I miss your sense of humor J
I guess I forgot to mention that he first worked for Lynns sister in a real job
somehow he ended up available for the summer (last summer), needed the money,
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.

We are just starting to delve into the worst part of budget. Sounds like you are

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-
mail finds you wellwe keep watching for any news on the governors race. J

Hi Scott-
Attached is my detail regarding the fiscal impact for BHD of the nurses contract.
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.
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.

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.

This is the detail for the BHD "structural" deficit. I see from our sheet we are possible setting aside $2.0 million
for "shift relief factor" -- if approved, this will be built into the base correct? Before I heard we would just
adjust V&T which did not seem like a "real" fix to me.

The attached spread sheet documents the 2010 projection, based on past history, of the structural deficit at
BHD. In the past other sources of revenue, which are no longer available, have been able to mitigate the
problem.
Please contact us with any questions,

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-mail finds you wellwe keep
watching for any news on the governors race. J

Subject: Mercer proceeds
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 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.

I do not what this as an abolish create upon vacancy. Please do a simple abolish create and be sure the
Procurment manager position has funding to correspond to the dates on the abolish create. Come talk to me if
needed. In any event, do not make the abolish create dependent on the abolished position being vacant.

We will need to take back the funding for the ED office one more time. Specifically, the budgeted salary level of
each position with the salary range and the assumed start dates plus what we have in for professional services.
They also wanted to be sure that if the County were able to recieve outside funding to offset any of these costs,
that the 2010 budget would allow for it.

We have yet to bief the CEX on what we have budged for the contingency fund. My understanding is that we
have built a number into BRASS for this so it does not appear on the comeback list. We need to brief him today
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.

This is the detail for the BHD "structural" deficit. I see from our sheet we are possible setting aside $2.0 million
for "shift relief factor" -- if approved, this will be built into the base correct? Before I heard we would just
adjust V&T which did not seem like a "real" fix to me.

housekeeping? Is the Info Technology cost based on a certain amount of computer workstations? If so,
what are you basing it on?

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.
If you have any other questions, please let us know. Thanks

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.

It seems clear that the state will be out of Coggs by the end of February
(by the latest). I need a plan to get everyone out of City Campus and into
the courthouse or Coggs by March 1, 2010 (J ack)
At the same time, I need to finalize discussions between the county and
the City of Milwaukee Department of City Development to purchase the
City Campus site (Craig). We need to recover the cost of the outstanding
debt and (ideally) the cost of moving employees. DCD is interested and
we might also consider using Recovery Zone Facility bonds to increase
their interest.

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.

See my below note to J ursik.
The CEX Office needs to let Stein and Marks know of their appointments to this group. I
have attached the Strategic Planning resolution that was passed by the Board and
signed by the CEX. I think the consensus on our side is that is it premature to proceed
with the Steering Committee until there is a consensus on the five year projection. Tim,
note the other appointments (MMAC) that will need to be made.

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.

MAJOR INITIATIVES
Protecting Public Safety
Provides $194.3 million in levy support for public safety agencies, an increase of $16.1
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
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.
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.
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.
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 - $______
CArcher_Journal3000886
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.
CArcher_Journal3000887
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
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 Parks 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.
CArcher_Journal3000888
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.

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
Protecting Public Safety
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
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 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
3.5 FTE vacant positions are abolished for savings of $275,000
Almost $10 million in capital investments for public safety.
X-Ray equipment - $119,950
Electronic Medical Records replacement- $2.8 million
Video Visitation - $432,000
Security Cameras - $2.6 million
55 Sheriff Vehicles - $______
CArcher_Journal3000912
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 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.
CArcher_Journal3000913
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
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.
CArcher_Journal3000914
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; offsetting revenue or an abatement will be budgeted as well
to make this initiative cost neutral in the budget.
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:
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.
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.

DRAFT
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.
CArcher_Journal3000917
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.
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
levels of government.
Encourage minority participation and outreach for both employers and
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.

para-transit riders to ride mass transit for a saving of over $400,000.
CArcher_Journal3000925
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.
CArcher_Journal3000926
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.

They are all "received" into an inbox. I thought your issue was whether anyone was
reading them? I don't think sending an automated message that they are received
accomplishes much. There are enough County Board staff, my office, the CEX Office
and DAS Fiscal staff reviewing these each day that I can assure you they are all
being reviewed. Do you really think an automated message indicating receipt
accomplishes much?

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.
CArcher_Journal3000933
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.

Here are some ideas that were passed on to me (some good, some are
so/so):
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
CArcher_Journal3000936
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.
This advocacy will include the following:
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
CArcher_Journal3000937
may be required.
Prepare thorough and complete proposal for tax
incentives, tax
credits and government grants that an employer could
qualify for from all
levels of government.
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
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.
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
CArcher_Journal3000938
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.

Dennis, we need to light a fire and get something accomplished on this. Last I left it with you and
Manske was that we had a list of purchasing data (safe data) that we agreed could be loaded onto a
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.
CArcher_Journal3000960
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.

Cindy,
The Strategic Planning Operations Team consisted of the following:
Supervisor Willie J ohnson
CEX Chief of Staff (Nardelli)
County Board Chief of Staff (Cooley)
DAS Director (Henken)
FABA (Archer)
County Board Fiscal & Budget Analyst (Cady)
Director of Audits (Heer)
CIO (J ohn)
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?
Thanks.

I will leave it up to you on how to proceed. All I know is he wants the letter out today and there will
need to be enough time for Nardelli/Russell edits and review. I don't know what their schedule is this
afternoon. All I know is the CEX wants it out today. I leave it up to you to get it done.

I got scolded by Nardelli for not having the EMS letter out yesterday. ugh. The ED meeting is being
rescheduled for tomorrow. You need to focus on getting the letter done, reviewed and approved by
Nardelli and Russell when you get in. We need to get it out today.

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
CArcher_Journal3000994
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.

Editorial Page Editor
J ournal Sentinel, Inc
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.

Do you know what kind of legal corporation the MPM is?
The CEX wants to create a structure similar except that county
employees would not transfer over as was the case with MPM.
He wants to state his intent in the budget, form a group to get it done,
appropriate funds for legal help if needed and have it effective by
about Nov 1 if possible.
I need to talk to you about this directly. thanks

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.

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.

If the lease to the state falls through our backup plan is to move all staff out of City
Campus into other County facilities and sell City Campus to the City for an amount
that is equal to or greater than the cost to defease outstanding debt and all
necessary relocation expenses.
We can present it to the CEX tomorrow.

See Lisa's response to my question below. I continue to think that we need a back
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 --

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...

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....

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
