Marcel Dandeneau, D-Racine, has testified in favor of a bill which would put septic tank and other private sewage treatment and disposal ordinances on a countywide basis. Dandeneau said the bill, which should be ready for legislative action in September, "will require each county to have a private sewage disposal ordinance which would relieve townships, villages and cities of that responsibility." Under the bill, AB836, county boards would be required to name an administrator. Dandeneau also announced that a bill allowing irrevocable buriai trusts in Wisconsin has been signed into law.

Under present law, SSI recipients can't have liquid assets of more than $1,500 a person or $2,200 a couple. Dandeneau was chief author of the bill which says burial trust money will no longer count as an asset and "should assure the senior citizen and his relatives that they will have the security of a decent burial."

Sturtevant Village Board, Municipal Bullding, 7:30 p.m. today, Racine, County nurses under close scrutiny the Journal Times, Tuesday, July 19, 1977 3A By Patricia Andrews Journal Times Staff The County Nurses program is coming under close scrutiny by the Human Services Board. Monday night the board convened in closed session after regular business to discuss the County Nurses program.

The nurses' office is one of the five agencies integrated under the Human Services Agency when it was formed in May. The office has been in the midst of a mild controversy since the old servicing committee, the three-member Health Services Committee, started looking into what they said were abuses of county money and policies. A member of the the committee. Cathy McIntosh, sat in on Monday night's closed session as did County Executive Gilbert Berthelsen. Berthelsen's office removed Carol Sigwart, the head of the program, last December.

Since then, an interim supervisor, Grace Rhodes, been working on a part time basis. According to members of the Health Services Committee, the nurses had been taking illegal compensatory time off, since Racine County does not have a policy on compensatory time. Some of the problems discussed in Monday night's closed session were the compensatory time issue, shortage of nurses at the office, Jack of administrative guidelines, specific job descriptions and county personnel policies re- carding fringe benefits. In other business, the board agreed to seek 20 0 to 30 members for an advisory committee replacing the old servicing committees that went out of business when the Human Services Department was formed. A subcommittee reported that committee members may be appointed from community people, with most of the personnel coming from the old servicing committees.

Members may be selected by the County Executive's office with a seven to nine member board of directors and officers within that board. Some members of the advisory committee is expected to have expertise in certain areas such as budget and finance, personnel matters or public relations and will offer advice to the Human Services Board in these areas. The board has trimmed the list of candidates to' two people. candidate withdrew, and an HSD subcommittee reported another name may be submitted. The subcommittee will be meeting with an industrial psychologist on Thursday to discuss his recommendations on the candidates and a final will go before the Human Services Board next Monday.

The following day, Berthelsen will present the final candidate to the County Board. Berthelsen said the final candidate will be in Racine ne on Monday. He said the candidate would be a male. Applicants from Iowa, Min-' nesota, Virginia, Ohio and Wisconsin were interviewed, with three of those from Racine. St.

Caledonia explores ways to finance school busing With Caledonia's financial reserves at zero, town officials are exploring ways to finance school busing for Caledonia students. At Monday's Ttown Board committee of the whole meeting, Chairman George Kopecky proposed that parents pay approximately $100 for each school-age child to provide bus service.

Previously, under a contract with the Unified School District, the town paid about $75,000 to bus Caledonia's 950 students to Racine schools. Unified has asked for 000 for next year's contract, but there are no funds in the N58 AL Hugh Wheeler hoped to attract atten- and aluminum tubing with about 340 lighttion.

The 40-foot long electronic billboard a grid of wire Small craft facilities studied A plan to add berths for 216 boats and double the number of boat launching lanes in Racine's harbor will be discussed Aug. 3. Comments received at the discussion, and by Aug. 5, will be considered in preparing a final Army Corps of Engineers report on small boat improvements in the Racine harbor. Col.

Andrew Remson the corps' district engineer, said after a review in Washington, the report will be submitted to Congress for possible project authorization. The Army engineers have put a $4.3 million price. tag on the construction, and estimated the federal government would pay $1,528,000 while local sources would finance the remaining $2,789,000. A federal study said the annual cost would run $298,000, including depreciation of the breakwaters over 50 years and an annual 6.4 per cent Interest rate on the $4.3 million Investment The study said that assuming construction in 1984, economic benefits would run $550,000 a year, or nearly double the annual cost. The $4.3 million would construct two new breakwaters town treasury for that purpose.

So the board will call a public hearing to determine whether parents are willing to pay on a user basis, or whether alternatives are available, Kopecky said. The Village of Wind Point now operates under a system similar to the one Kopecky proposes. The village and Unified negotiate for bus service before the beginning of each school year, and Wind Point pays in advance. The board Monday also discussed retaining a Madison consulting firm, Comprehensive Planning Services, to aid the town in coming up with a comprehensive parks and recreation plan. Kopecky said that such a master plan is required before state and federal funds become available.

The state already has granted Caledonia $1,400, which the town must match, to come up with a parks and recreation plan. The $2,800 will be used to determine what recreational facilities are needed by the town. "What we're trying to do," Kopecky said, "is to get the preliminary work done, SO that when next year's budget comes up, we can put our share of parks money into it." "We're planning for the future, so that when state money becomes available, we are budgeted to match it," Kopecky added. gain entry to the building.

RCAF lists four areas among its goals: improvement of the environment, development of health and education, support of culture and the arts, and creation of projects complying with the intent of specific donors. Although the Styberg gift is the first memorial fund, other gifts have been made to RCAF's general fund, including donations from the Col. L.C. Christensen Foundation, the Greene Manufacturing Co. Foundation, the Naleid Charitable Foundation, the William R.

Wadewitz Foundation, and the Herman E. Johnson Charitable Foundation. RCAF, formed in spring, 1976, lists assets at about $20,000.

at the southwest corner of the harbor, raise the south breakwater by about feet to provide additional protection from waves and storms, and dredge harbor areas to provide for berthing, launching and boat maneuver areas. The raised south breakwater, under the plan, would have a smooth top and steps to provide continued access for sport fishing. The construction would shelter 32 acres within the harbor and also provide a 6-acre dredgings disposal area which, when filled, could be used for facilities supporting the marina. Marina support facilities, according to federal studies, would cost about $2.5 million and would be locally-financed. The facilities would include parking areas for cars and boat trailers, six additional launching lanes and facilities for sanitary pump-outs, water, fuel and oil.

Officials will be at City Hall Aug. 3 from 3 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. to answer questions and discuss the plan being recommended by the Army engineers. Present, Remson said, will be representatives of the Army engineers, the state's Department of Natural Resources and local government.
