Staff Present: Linda Firestone, Sean Higgins, Mike Rupiper, Steve Steinhoff Other Present: 6 members of the public 1. Roll Call

Chair Palm called the meeting to order at 7:00pm. Quorum was established.

2. Public Comment on Matters not on the Agenda No members of the public wished to speak at this time.

Ms. Cnare moved to accept the consent agenda with the exception of 3.b.(1), which was edited; Mr. Minihan seconded.

Chair Palm stated that the Executive Committee was recommending that item 3.b.(2) be tabled until January 2021 due to the current economic and budget situations and to give staff more time to research accounting ramifications.

The motion passed on a voice vote. Item 3.b.(1) was voted on as part of item 8.a. below.

4. PUBLIC HEARINGS (7 pm)

a. Adoption of the 2021 Capital Area Regional Planning Commission Budget

(1) Staff Presentation Mr. Steinhoff reviewed some of the line items, and he noted that this was the same budget that the Commission approved in June as a preliminary budget.

(2) Open Public Hearing to Take Testimony from Registrants; Close Public Hearing Chair Palm opened the public hearing.

Page 003

No registrants wished to speak on this item. Chair Palm closed the public hearing.

(3) Commissioner Questions and Discussion Ms. Cnare questioned the increased insurance expense. This increase was a result of CARPC moving to its new offices, an increase in CARPC’s personal property insurance amount, and a reflection of actual insurance premiums from what was included in the 2020 budget.

5. Consideration of CARPC Resolution 2020-12 Adoption of the 2021 Capital Area Regional Planning Commission Budget (actionable item) Mr. Geller moved to adopt CARPC Resolution 2020-12; Ms. Cnare seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote.

6. Amending the Dane County Water Quality Management Plan by Revising the Sewer Service Area Boundary and Environmental Corridors in the Mount Horeb Urban Service Area a. Opportunity for Public Comment

No registrants wished to speak at this time.

b. Overview of Staff Recommendations Mr. Rupiper presented the staff recommendations.

c. Questions of Staff Recommendations Mr. Minihan asked if there was a car wash and if the car wash water was being treated. Mr. Rupiper stated that the car wash water was going to be treated at the wastewater treatment plant.

d. Approval of CARPC Management Letter #2005 – Mt Horeb USA, Recommending to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Amendment of the Dane County Water Quality Management Plan by Revising the Sewer Service Area Boundary and Environmental Corridors in the Mount Horeb Urban Service Area (actionable item) Mr. Minihan moved to approve CARPC management letter #2005 Mt. Horeb USA; Ms. Crombie seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote.

7. Land Use and Transportation Review of the Village of Mt. Horeb Urban Service Area Amendment a. Opportunity for Public Comment

No members of the public wished to speak.

b. Commission discussion of land use consistency review process Mr. Steinhoff provided background and an overview of this item, summarizing information in the agenda item cover sheet. The current process for CARPC’s land use review of USA applications is no longer working as intended because the Dane County Land Use and Transportation Plan (Vision 2020), adopted in 1997 is obsolete. Staff and the Executive Chair identified an alternative option that involves a broader look at the applicant’s planning and development over about a five-year period, and in relation to the draft goals and objectives CARPC prepared to guide preparation of a new Regional Development Framework. Chair Palm asked each commissioner in turn for their response to the alternative option. Commissioners all voiced support for the alternative option. They felt it would be beneficial to have discussions with communities about their comprehensive plan. A common sentiment was that the sooner the new regional development framework is completed the better, to guide and provide support to local planning. Other comments were: the alternative approach will allow the commission to better focus on the bigger picture; communities are beginning to recognize that there is a regional planning effort underway; the review process should be a joint presentation with local and CARPC staff such that it does not turn into an inquisition; more collaborative discussions will benefit all.

Page 004

c. Staff Presentation and Questions

Mr. Higgins gave a staff presentation intended as an example of how the alternative land use review option could take place. He reviewed the growth plans in the Mt. Horeb comprehensive plan and development activity in recent years. He reviewed the draft goals and objectives for the Regional Development Framework process. Discussion points included the connections and barriers to the commercial area; the need for regional stormwater basins; and the need for stormwater management and better access before the uses in the development areas can be decided. There were no questions for the registrants.

d. Discussion of Village of Mount Horeb planning and development, and USA amendment, as they relate to the draft goals and objectives prepared for the Regional Development Framework process Discussion for this item occurred under item 7.b.

e. Approval of CARPC Management Letter #2005 – Mt Horeb USA LUTP citing substantial consistency between the proposed Sewer Service Area Boundary and Environmental Corridors amendment in the Mount Horeb Urban Service Area and the Dane County Land Use and Transportation Plan (actionable item) Mr. Geller moved to approve CARPC management letter #2005- Mt. Horeb USA LUTP; Ms. Cnare seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote. Ms. Terrell asked whether the Village was going to respond to the MPO’s letter. Mr. Owen stated that he would follow up with the Village president. Mr. Slavney would be interested in promoting those objectives when they work with the Village on the ten-year update.

8. Reports

a. Executive Chairperson and Executive Committee (1) Discussion on Making Juneteenth (June 19th) an Annual CARPC Paid Holiday

Chair Palm reviewed the revised language of the “Public Speaking” box at the top of CARPC agendas. This revised language was item 3.b.(1) above, which was an actionable item. Ms. Terrell moved to accept the revised language; Mr. Geller seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote. Chair Palm said the Executive Committee was in favor of making Juneteenth an annual CARPC paid holiday. It will be included in the personnel manual revisions presented to the Commission for approval during the October meeting.

b. Members of the Madison Area Transportation Planning Board Mr. Foster gave an overview of the MATPB’s September 2nd meeting, which included a public hearing on the 2021-25 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which will be presented at the next board meeting for approval; a presentation from service providers for enhanced services for seniors and people with disabilities; some information from Metro Transit on its safety action plan; and also the results of an MPO survey about remote work in the greater Madison area, that had interesting findings regarding individuals’ perceptions of their own productivity and the productivity of subordinates. Chair Palm requested that the survey results be sent to Commissioners. There will also be some future educational opportunities between CARPC and the MPO.

c. Agency Director/Division Director, Community and Regional Planning Mr. Steinhoff gave his presentation. The current priority is the regional development framework> Staff are finishing projections (household, employment, and population) and starting on UrbanFootprint mapping. The end of the year is the target to produce the first map scenario for review, comment, and discussion. Mr. Steinhoff has been working on housing demand forecasting and analysis. CARPC staff were continuing to solicit interest in performing planning services for communities next year.

CARPC AGENDA COVER SHEET October 8, 2020 Item 5

Re: Affirming the Importance of a USGS Monitoring Station on Swan Creek and Requesting the City of Fitchburg to Include Funding in their 2021 Budget

Requested Action: Adoption of Resolution 2020-14 Affirming the Importance of a USGS Monitoring Station on Swan Creek and Requesting the City of Fitchburg to Include Funding in their 2021 Budget (actionable item)

Background:

The UW – Madison Water Resources Management Practicum recommended installation of a long-term monitoring site on Swan Creek as part of their study and report Assessing Land Use Impacts and Promoting Community Engagement in the Waubesa Wetlands Watershed. In the Commission’s approval of the City of Fitchburg’s recent Fahey South Urban Service Area Amendment, the Commission proposed as a condition of approval that the City of Fitchburg pursue working with the USGS to fund and implement a monitoring station on Swan Creek at Lalor Road. The DNR supported this as a recommendation in their approval of the amendment. The United States Geological Survey has a long history of installing and operating continuous monitoring stations to create a long-term base of streamflow and water-quality data essential for water-resource planning and assessment purposes for many streams in the region. The City of Madison, City of Middleton, Town of Westport, and Dane County have contributed to the USGS Cooperative Water Resources Monitoring Program for many decades.

Staff Comments:

An August 14th letter from City of Fitchburg Administrator, Patrick Marsh, to the Commission stated that the funding for the monitoring station was submitted for inclusion in the city’s 2021 budget. However, on September 23rd city staff reported that Mayor Aaron Richardson did not include it in his proposed budget. CARPC staff discussed the monitoring station with the City’s Resource Conservation Commission on September 24th, who expressed support for a budget amendment to include the funding. This resolution is intended to support that effort.

Staff Contact:

Mike Rupiper Deputy Agency Director 608-474-6016 [email protected]

Next Steps (If adopted by the Commission):

Distribute the adopted resolution to elected officials at the City of Fitchburg.

CARPC AGENDA COVER SHEET October 8, 2020 Item 8 Re: Approval of Draft Goals and Objectives to Guide the Regional Development Framework

Requested Action: Adoption of Resolution 2020-13 Approving Draft Goals and Objectives to Guide the Regional Development Framework (actionable item)

Background:

CARPC developed draft goals and objective to guide preparation of a regional development framework. To develop the goals and objectives, the agency drew from goals established by the initiative, A Greater Madison Vision. AGMV goals came from a process of stakeholder and public involvement that culminated in a survey completed by more than 9,200 people. Commissioners identified those AGMV goals most suited to guide a regional development planning effort. CARPC solicited feedback on its draft goals and objectives through a survey sent to local government officials. Approximately 150 officials completed the survey. Their responses showed strong support for the goals and provided suggestions for improving the objectives. CARPC then revised the draft objectives based on this feedback, focusing them more on land use and development and CARPC’s role. The revised objectives have been shared with stakeholders, officials and the public through CARPC’s newsletter, website, social media, and presentations. At the August and September meetings Commissioners indicated a preference for starting to apply these draft goals and objectives to CARPC’s land use review of applications to amend Urban Service Area boundaries. There was agreement that these draft goals and objectives are more relevant for this purpose than those in the Dane County Land Use and Transportation Plan, initially adopted in 1997.

Staff Comments:

Adoption of Resolution 2020-13 will establish the commission’s support of the draft goals and objectives and its intent to apply them towards preparation of a regional development framework. It will clarify their status and aid communication during the regional development framework process. It also clarifies that the draft goals and objectives are intended to sunset with adoption of a Regional Development Framework, which will contain its own goals and objectives. Staff recommends adoption.

15

WHEREAS, the Fair Deal for Milwaukee County Taskforce, gathering information 16

26

WHEREAS, the COVID-19 Pandemic has imbalanced the County budget to an 27

estimated $66 million in 2020 non-airport revenues based on Office of Performance, 28

Strategy and Budget’s May 21, 2020 projection (File No. 20-26), resulting in the County 29

31

WHEREAS, pursuant to 23 United State Code §§ 134-135 and Wis. Stat. § 32

official metropolitan planning organization (MPO) and regional planning commission for 34

the seven counties of southeastern Wisconsin; and 35

36

WHEREAS, since its inception in 1960, SEWRPC has distributed federal 37

transportation dollars between member localities and provided objective information for 38

regional planning relating to highways, transit, sewerage, water supply, parks, flood 39

mitigation, air and water pollution, and land use generally; and SEWRPC has 40

specifically benefited Milwaukee County by crafting studies and plans such as: 41

regional property tax levy apportioned to each county proportionately based on 55

equalized assessed property valuation but limits the maximum tax a regional planning 56

commission may levy to 0.003 percent of a regional’s equalized assessed property 57

valuation; and 58

59

WHEREAS, SEWRPC’s regional property tax levy for its 2021 budget is 60

$2,251,735 based on the January 1, 2019 regional assessed valuation, of which 61

$738,310 is assessed to the taxpayers of Milwaukee County via the taxing authority of 62

Milwaukee County (File No. 20-603); and 63

64

WHEREAS, the State simultaneously mandates expenditures to regional 65

planning commissions, among other things, and limits counties’ ability to pay for those 66

mandates and other vital services their residents expect and deserve; and 67

68

WHEREAS, the Committee on Finance, at its meeting of September 17, 2020, 69

recommended adoption of File No. 20-611 (vote 7-0); now, therefore, 70

71

BE IT RESOLVED, Milwaukee County hereby calls upon the State of Wisconsin 72

to amend statutes relating to levy limits (§ 59.605) and regional planning commissions 73

(§ 66.0309) to exempt the mandated property tax levy on behalf of regional planning 74

commissions from county property tax levy limits; and 75

76
