Agenda Item Information Sheet To: County Board From: Kimberly Falkner, DHS Director Meeting Date: September 2, 2026 Department/Office: Human Services Item Name: Resolution 26-15: Amending Chapter 3 of the Ozaukee County Policy and Procedure Manual - Economic Support Specialist Summary: This was approved by the Health and Human Services Committee at the August 4, 2026 meeting. Finance Committee is reviewing at the Sept 2nd meeting before County Board. Background: The HR1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act) on July 4, 2025, enacted reductions in funding to the Federal Food and Nutrition Program (SNAP) which serves as a safety net for individuals with food insecurity. Ozaukee County has approximately 1900 Foodshare cases currently. HR1 includes inclusion of financial penalties mandating states pay food benefit costs equaling between 5%-15% of its total Foodshare benefit amounts when they have payment benefit errors over 6%. (Under issuance or over issuance of benefits) The penalty for Wisconsin is estimated of up to 203 million dollars depending upon the percentage of errors. Analysis: In October 2025, we identified the need for expanded quality assurance and transitioned staff responsibilities to be inclusive of Foodshare focused quality assurance. The legislature has since enacted ACT 116 to fund resources for (2-year) supporting counties in funding full-time quality assurance activities with the goal of reducing and preventing FoodShare benefit errors. Ozaukee County is receiving funding along with its partner counties in the Moraine Lakes Consortium partnership. This funding will support our existing quality assurance efforts including additional staff time to review cases, training, and development. To support this effort we are requesting (2) part- time positions that will back-fill for staff who are responding to case reviews, training, and re-training as well as remediation to reduce or prevent errors and bill the capacity of the program in an ongoing way. Fiscal Impact: The creation of two (2) part-time positions, each averaging approximately twenty (20) hours per week, with actual hours scheduled flexibly based on the operational needs of the Call Center and Quality Assurance functions. These positions shall be funded through state funding, with total annual personnel costs not to exceed the allocated state funding, which is allocated to be no less than $88,379.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Ozaukee County - Planning and Parks Department (Department) proposes to submit a grant application to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) Regular Urban Forestry (UF) Grant program to support forestry and ecological projects in Hawthorne Hills County Park and Golf Course in the Town of Saukville and Mee-Kwon County Park in the City of Mequon. This grant will fund improvements to the local ecology, aesthetics and native vegetation at Mee-Kwon County Park and Golf Course by removing ash trees impacted by emerald ash borer (EAB) and planting and inventorying native trees. The grant will also support construction of a gravel bed nursery at Hawthorne Hills County Park and conducting education and outreach efforts to Ozaukee County residents to encourage native tree planting on private property.

Improving the native tree diversity and canopy will assist the Department in developing Mee-Kwon County Park to be reflective of the local ecology by preserving, protecting and restoring the natural resources inclusive of the native plant communities. Furthermore, this effort will assist in taking steps to manage these County Parks for EAB and hazard trees, provide education to the public, support volunteer activities, and improve Ozaukee County's tree species diversity and canopy coverage.

Specifically, this grant will support County activities to restore a total of 10.6 acres of old-field into native warm-season prairie in Mee-Kwon County Park in the City of Mequon. The Department has been managing Mee-Kwon County Park for invasive species, restoring native vegetation in prairies and woodlands, managing stormwater through wetland restoration and providing bird habitat through bird box installation. The WDNR CCA grant will support additional Department activities to purchase seed and restore native prairie in the southern part of the park to provide habitat for grassland bird species and pollinators (e.g. bees and butterflies). The diversity of plant species will also provide an attractive display of flowers and grasses, further beautifying the park. Project activities will be completed by Department staff.

Stats., and provides financial assistance to counties and tribal governing bodies to enhance county fish and wildlife programs. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) administers this grant program with the assistance of s. NR 50.14, Wis. Adm. Code. The program was established by the Wisconsin Legislature in 1965 as an alternative to bounty payments on coyote, foxes, and bobcats. Every year since the bounty program ended, the Legislature has appropriated funding for the program equal to the average annual bounty payment. These funds are provided as a cost share grant program to counties and tribal governing bodies for fish and wildlife habitat projects. Funds appropriated in the current Biennial Budget, are offered on an annual basis in proportion to the ratio of the area of each county (less reservation lands) or area of reservation lands, to the total area of the state. Eligible Applicants Counties and tribal governing bodies (“county”) are eligible to apply for County Conservation Aids for eligible projects. Application Deadline Applications must be received by the DNR grant program manager by 11:59 p.m. on October 1.* *NOTE: Per s. 990.001(4)(c), Wis. Stats., if any application deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or state holiday, the deadline is moved to the next state working day. Funding Process Counties have the option to: 1) accept their award; 2) accept their award and request additional funds; or 3) decline their award. To accept the award amount or accept and request additional funds, the county’s authorized representative must sign, date, and return the application form 8700-045A (which is also considered the grant agreement), to the DNR grant program manager via email no later than October 1 (see Application and Request for Additional Funding Section on page 3). Failure to formally accept the award amount by the October 1 deadline is equivalent to the county declining their grant award. By affixing a signature on the grant agreement, the county’s authorized representative has entered into a binding legal agreement with the DNR. The DNR grant program manager will send a final award notification letter to the grantee. Any grant amount not claimed by a county will become available for the DNR to award to other counties that have requested additional funding above what is their prescribed share under Wis. Stats. Counties have two years from the date they receive their final award notification letter from the DNR grant program manager to complete their project and request reimbursement from the DNR. Project costs incurred by a county prior to this date are not eligible for reimbursement by the DNR. Page 45 of 51 Page 46 of 51 Item: 9.a.
