St. Croix County Board March 16, 2010

It was mentioned that we got a better rating bond partially because of the wheel tax. Later it was mentioned mentioned that the better rating will conservatively save the county $8,500. Seems like a relatively insignificant benefit compared to the cost.

Anti-scavenging: Why make it illegal instead of allowing haulers to work that out with their customers and applying laws against theft?

If someone puts illegal/hazardous materials in their garbage can, why does it really matter to go into the house to inspect the cause? The person should be notified of the problem and they can take care of the cause (or ask for help). Also when an official person requests permission to enter someone's house, many people may be too afraid to refuse even if they are uncomfortable having someone come into their house.

We shouldn't add positions (new emergency management deputy position) just because other counties do or because we will need it in the future. Add the position when needed.

County Board meetings are online

County Board meetings are online at http://hudson.blip.tv/.
I would still like to see the meetings moved to a better time so that people could more easily come to make their thoughts known.

Thank You!
