Memorandum
To: Walworth County Executive Committee
From: Mark W. Luberda, County Administrator
Date: September 11, 2026
RE: September 14, 2026, Executive Committee Meeting
Consent Items.
Expense and mileage reimbursement claims are submitted by County Board Chair Rick
Stacey, Wisconsin River Rail Transit Commission members Richard Kuhnke, Sr. and
Allan Polyock, County Board Vice-Chair Sheila Reiff, County Supervisor Brian Holt, and
BOA members Rose Smith Miller and David Held.
Appointments.
a) Local Emergency Planning Committee – Reappointments for 2026-2027
Jason Rowland, the Walworth County Emergency Management Director, has
confirmed the list of names for the annual reappointment to the LEPC. I recommend
approval.
New Business.
a) Wisconsin Department of Administration Preliminary Estimate of the January 1, 2026,
Population for Walworth County.
Annually the state provides a population estimate. I am not aware of any basis to
object to the conclusion that shows a 2.38% growth since the 2020 census. This
result is very different than the misguided study prepared by the State’s Department
of Administration that failed to consider in-migration in their estimates. A motion to
accept and file the report would be in order.
b) Polk County Res. No. 32-26 – Requesting the Wisconsin Counties Association
Provide Equal and Equitable Voting to All Counties on WCA Steering Committees.
c) Correspondence from the Wisconsin Historical Society regarding properties to be
considered for removal from the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places and the
National Register of Historic Places at the Wisconsin Historic Preservation Review
Board meeting on September 25, 2026:
i. Davidson Hall at 550 South Shore Drive in the Town of Lynn,
Walworth County;
ii. The Isreal Stowell Temperance House at 61-65 East Walworth
Avenue in Delavan, Walworth County.
Both of the properties recommended for removal from the list were demolished, one
in 2001 and one in 2020. No action is required.
d) Kenosha County Resolution No. 40 – Relating to Consumer Lending Reform and
Predatory Lending Protections.
Although the action promoted by Kenosha County would appear to have societal
benefit, the policy changes sought are outside of the normal scope of the County’s
direct services. For that reason, I do not believe any action is required. If the
committee believes the County should make such a broader, societal policy
statement and encourage the state to take the action supported by Kenosha County,
the Committee could direct staff to prepare a Walworth County version of this
resolution for consideration at the Committee’s next meeting.
e) Correspondence from Jack Modzelewski Requesting the 1.5 Percent Monthly
Penalty (for Six Months) Plus Interest and Other Fees, Totaling $281.63 be Waived
and Refunded, or Credited on His Next Tax Bill in January.
Mr. Modzelewski requests late fees applied to his property taxes be waived and
refunded or credited on his next tax bill. The accrued interest charges to which he
refers were applied in accordance with statutory requirements. I am unaware of any
mechanism that would allow for the County to approve his request. If the Committee
receives and files the request, my office will provide him with a written response that
the County has no authority to provide him with the resolution he requested.
f) Authorization for UW-Milwaukee to Conduct Rural Autonomous Vehicle (RAV)
Surveys.
Since the County is a partner in this grant, I recommend approval.
g) 2027 Administrator’s Budget Including but Not Limited to the Following:
i. Administration Division 2027 Budget Discussion
ii. Public Safety Departments, Including but Not Limited to a
Presentation by Zeke Wiedenfeld, District Attorney
The four divisions of Administration are Administration, which includes the County
Board, Economic Development, Volunteer Services, and Risk Management. There
are no significant modifications or adjustments in these accounts. There is some
variation in technology costs due to changes in annual equipment replacement.
WCEDA’s annual appropriation for general operations support was increased from
$95,000 to $102,500, which is less than requested. The WCEDA housing initiative
project was continued for another year at the reduced level of $162,500 ($93,000
for Personnel, $17,500 for staff and office operations, and $52,000 for program
activities.) This does represent a reduction of over $20,000 from the current years
budget. The program activities expenditures have been coming in underbudget
each year so far.
h) Wisconsin Counties Association (WCA) – Proposed 2026 Resolutions of the WCA.
Enclosed in your packet is documentation from the WCA as to the resolutions and
topics that are recommended to become part of the WCA’s slate for the coming
year. The County Board Chair will be asked to vote to approve the slate at the
upcoming WCA conference and business meeting. The Executive Committee may
wish to provide the County Board Chair with direction as to its position on the topics
presented by the WCA.
i) Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement Public Safety Communications Software as
a Service Funded by Fiscal Year 2027 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Grant
Application.
A memo is included in the packet. The Sheriff’s Office will be present to discuss this
grant opportunity.
Please call with any questions you may have.

Un
finished Business
9a. 2027 Budget Ideas and Considerations
Walworth County Administrator Mark W. Luberda stated Item 9a. is a repeat of the agenda
item from last month. This item is an open-discussion item where Supervisors can propose
ideas or programs that the County Administrator should consider in the development of the
2027 budget. Supervisor Laufenberg reiterated her concern from a previous meeting that
the County should continue to limit expenditures in order to restrain tax increases.

10a. Waushara County Res. No. 16-06-26 – Urging the Wisconsin Counties Association and
the Wisconsin Legislature to Expand the Definition of “Forfeiture Expenses” Under Wis.
Stat. 961.55 to Include Drug-Related Treatment, Diversion, and Law Enforcement
Program Costs
Luberda explained Item 10a. was referred to the Committee by the County Board. The
Sheriff indicated that he does not support the item, in part because the County does not
currently have an active drug court, but primarily because this would spread out the limited
resources that are currently supporting directly-related law enforcement efforts. As such,
Luberda supported the Sheriff’s recommendation and suggested that Item 10a be received
and filed. Supervisor Stacey offered a motion, second by Supervisor Reiff, to receive
and file Item 10a. Motion carried 5-0.

10b. Sheriff’s Office Fleet Analysis
Luberda explained that now is an appropriate time to review the historical acquisition, cost,
and disposal of squads for consideration of its alignment with the program’s initial goals.
Captain Joshua Staggs and Undersheriff Tom Hausner presented the fleet data which is
summarized on Pages 31-36 of the packet. Luberda indicated he is looking closely at this
issue for the upcoming budget. He stated in 2020 the budget for vehicles was $400,000 and
now is pushing $1 million. Luberda stated he wanted the Committee to understand what is
available. Undersheriff Hausner and Captain Staggs collaboratively referenced and provided
details of the Sheriff’s Office Fleet Analysis. There was discussion and an explanation on
contributing factors to the rise in costs including COVID, supply chain, and technology
issues. Staggs explained the line graph on Page 31 of the packet, which detailed the
following: Average Vehicle Cost, Average Build/Equipment Cost, and Average Total Cost.
Staggs indicated the equipment is a major factor. He stated the goal with the Deputy
Assigned Squad Program is to keep the same equipment and the same squad car for as
long as possible. Staggs stated that the manufacturers changed the game on being able to
transfer equipment from one squad to another. Staggs also explained the different hidden
costs, which included installation fees and rewiring costs. He explained that the difference in
model years and pricing is set by the state; and state contract pricing is out of the County’s
control. Discussion ensued.

0c. Emergency Government Response Overview
Luberda explained this agenda item stemmed from Undersheriff Tom Hausner initiating the
Emergency Operations Center on the July 3, 2026, storm. He stated there were a lot of
departments that were involved. Luberda stated, as the public safety committee for the
County Board, the Executive Committee would be interested in hearing who was
responding to the incident, what other agencies supported the Sheriff’s office, and what role
HHS had in putting up a cooling center and a shelter coordinating with the Red Cross. He
stated Director-Public Works Richard Hough is here to discuss the Public Works role. In
addition, the representatives from the Town of Geneva were present to describe their role.
U
ndersheriff Tom Hausner, Lt. Jason Rowland, Town of Geneva Chairman Joseph Kopecky,
Town of Genva Highway Superintendent Jim Beck, Director-Public Works Richard Hough,
and Community Health Supervisor Mallory Betke collaboratively reported on their individual
and unified role during the July 3, 2026, storm and aftermath.
T
he discussion concluded by stating that it is imperative that it is defined what is the
requirement of the County in response to this type of incident. Deputy Corporation Counsel
Haley Johnson said since this matter was not agendized, we should get from the Town of
Geneva the anticipated timeline for needed assistance. Luberda explained that the
commitment to assist the Town of Geneva is currently to July 24, 2026. He stated as long as
the County is working under the premise of mutual aid; the County can continue to offer
extensions. Deputy Corporation Counsel Haley Johnson directed Chair Pruessing that any
Page 3 of 179

Page 4 of 5
further discussion can be agendized since the County has a clear picture to move forward
with the issue.

representatives were here for any questions. Undersheriff Hausner discussed the cost of
overtime is out of Sheriff’s Office control at times, such as the July 3, 2026, incident. He also
discussed the reasonings for the need for a budget amendment in the other areas of the
resolution. Supervisor Stacey offered a motion second by Supervisor Laufenberg, to
approve Item 10e., the resolution Authorizing a Budget Amendment of $1,130,000 in
the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office Budget for Prisoner Transport, Communications,
Corrections, and Patrol Overtime and Associated Fringe Benefits. Motion carried 5-0.

being posed to the public.” An upcoming activity potentially falls within the scope of this directive. As
such, we are seeking authorization to conduct the following data collection initiative or survey.
The County has been engaged in a Rural Autonomous Vehicle Research Program project since early
2024 when initial discussions began. The project was awarded to UW-Madison (lead), UW-Milwaukee,
and four other universities from around the country in January 2025 and officially began in December
2025. The first and second years are planned for research. As part of the re search, UW-Milwaukee
plans to conduct separate surveys with end users and service providers using various data collection
tactics that residents of the participating counties would be able to participate in.
A draft of the survey questions developed by the UW-Milwaukee team follows this memo. “Attachment
E” is the end user survey and “Attachment F” is the service provider survey. The County will have the
ability to influence the wording of some questions, and room may exist for the County to add one or
two questions of its own.
We are seeking approval to allow the UW -Milwaukee team to conduct the end user and service
provider surveys in the manner discussed above. We respectfully recommend the following motion:
“Move to authorize the County Administrator to review and approve the Rural Autonomous Vehicle
end user and service provider surveys developed in conjunction with UW-Milwaukee and to allow the
surveys to be conducted via various data collection tactics or as otherwise determined by the UW-
Milwaukee team.”
Please let us know of any questions you may have or of any additional information you may need.

Re:
Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement Public Safety Communications Software
as a Service Funded by Fiscal Year 2027 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Grant
Application
I
n my attempt to find a solution to become compliant in our Quality Assurance and Quality
Improvement it became necessary to look outside of the human component. The purchase of this
program will allow us to be 100% compliant vs the 7% required by policy. This will also include
simulated phone calls and radio interactive scenarios for new hires being trained. Non-
emergency calls will also be processed by this platform and will be subject to Quality Assurance
as well and maintain a 95% or higher score.
To summarize the key points of the FY27 Grant Program Application from the Walworth County
Sheriff's Office, I focused on the main objectives,
Primary Request: I’m looking to acquire AI-powered technology (CommsCoach and NEAL)
for quality assurance, training, and performance improvement in emergency communications.
o CommsCoach: Annual subscription for dispatcher training, call/radio
evaluations, audio transcription, performance dashboards, and AI-generated
training simulations.
o NEAL: AI voice agent for managing non-emergency calls, providing
information, gathering caller data, and routing/escalating calls.
3. Budget and Funding
• Major Costs:
o CommsCoach and NEAL multi-year subscriptions (with a 40% discount if signed
by 12/22/26).
o CAD interface fee: $10,500.
Page 127 of 179
• Local Match: Provided through existing operational funding (tax levy and annual budget
allocations for training, technology, and support).
4. Timeline
• Project Start: Upon contract signature.
• Project End: June 30, 2027 (well before the June 1, 2028 deadline).
• Implementation: Includes purchasing, IT configuration, onboarding, and staff training.
5. Sustainability and Maintenance
• All grant-funded enhancements (training, technology, subscriptions) will be sustained
through the County's regular operating budget after the grant period. Future grants could
cover this cost and written with multiple year contracts.
• Ongoing costs for technology and training are already incorporated into long-term
financial planning and annual appropriations.
• No reduction in the regular operating budget will occur as a result of receiving the grant;
all items are supplemental enhancements.
6. Compliance and Standards
• The agency meets all required standards for PSAP designation, training, operational
readiness, and emergency protocols as outlined by Wisconsin statutes and administrative
code.
• The application certifies ongoing compliance with training, operational, and service
standards, including:
o 24/7 operation, minimum staffing, call answer time standards, continuity of
operations planning, and emergency medical dispatch protocols.
7. Current Operations Snapshot
• Call Handling Equipment: Solacom (installed/refreshed in 2024).
• CAD System: Pro Phoenix (last upgraded 2025).
• Logging Recorder: Eventide.
• Workstations: 8 primary, 2 backup/remote.
• Telecommunicators: 17 staff, 5 vacant positions.
• GIS Provider: In-house.
8. Certification
• The application is signed by the Sheriff, certifying accuracy, compliance, and that all
grant funds will be used to support 9-1-1 services.
Page 128 of 179
Example Implementation:
• If awarded, the grant will enable Walworth County to deploy advanced AI tools for
dispatcher training and call management, integrate new technology with existing CAD
systems, and provide ongoing professional development for staff-all while ensuring long-
term sustainability through established budget processes.
• If awarded the grant funding, this program would allow our communications center to be
100% compliant in Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement for the first time ever.
This would be a huge accomplishment for our dispatch center and the community we
serve. The standard is 7% compliant for Quality Assurance, this platform provides 100%
of all calls to be QA’d and flagged for human intervention. We need a product that
exceeds expectations in the 911 community.
Final Assessment:
• Without the grant approval, IT approval and purchasing approval, we will not be moving
forward with the purchase and/or signing a contract with any vendors until funding is
approved and a vendor is selected.

Re: Notice Under Wis. Stat. § 893.80 Regarding False Public Record Dissemination,
Improper Public Docketing of Document 166, Record Correction, and Related Damages
To Walworth County and responsible ofFicials, ofFicers, agents, employees, and unknown persons
acting within the scope of public employment or under color of law:
1. Nature of notice
This correspondence provides written notice of circumstances of claim and a claim for relief
und
er Wis. Stat. § 893.80. The claimant is Eric D Santiago. The claimant’s email address is
dseric85@gmail.com. The claimant’s mailing/service address is 2650 N Dr . Martin Luther King Jr .
Drive, #12001, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53212.
This email and fax transmission is provided as immediate supplemental notice and
preservation demand. Formal service under Wis. Stat. § 801.11 is expressly reserved. Nothing in
this notice concedes that email or fax alone is sufFicient statutory service for any claim subject to
Wis. Stat. § 893.80.
2. Circumstances of claim
1. Walworth County court record data has been publicly associated with my name in a false,
ina
ccurate, incomplete, and defamatory manner , including through third party republication by
Spok
eo.

Page 130 of 179
2. The disputed public data included a false “ Assault/Battery” classiFication for Case No.
2025CM000098, a false Walworth County association with Case No. 2021CM000388,
continued public display of a 2021 bail jumping misdemeanor entry that I dispute as dismissed
and improperly displayed, and an inaccurate offense description stating “Operate Firearm
While Intoxicated” where the ofFicial jury instruction used “Operating or Going Armed With a
Firearm While Under the InFluence of an Intoxicant” and required proof that I “went armed
with a Firearm.”
3. Spokeo partially corrected the “ Assault/Battery” classiFication and the false 2021CM000388
association after repeated notice. That partial correction conFirms the dispute was legitimate,
but it does not erase the prior publication, the damages already caused, or the continuing
public record injury.
4. On or about July 6, 2026, I sent a pre litigation notice and record correction demand to the
Walworth County Clerk of Circuit Court OfFice. The notice was not submitted as a court motion,
was not addressed to the circuit court for judicial relief, and was directed to the Clerk OfFice as
an administrative record correction, certiFication, preservation, and pre litigation notice.
5. On or about July 7, 2026, the Walworth County Clerk of Circuit Court OfFice scanned and publicly
docketed that pre litigation correspondence and related materials in State of Wisconsin v. Eric
D Santiago, Walworth County Case No. 2025CM000098, as Document 166, thereby
compounding the public dissemination problem and causing additional harm.
6. The above conduct caused and continues to cause reputational harm, employment related harm,
Financial loss, loss of opportunity, emotional distress, litigation expenses, and ongoing public
record injury.
3. Legal grounds preserved
This notice preserves claims and remedies including, but not limited to, defamation, false
publication, negligent record dissemination, failure to correct known inaccurate records, improper
docketing and public access handling, invasion of privacy where available under Wis. Stat. §
995.50, public records and mandamus related relief under Wis. Stat. §§ 19.35 and 19.37, due
process violations under the Fourteenth Amendment, and civil rights claims under 42 U.S.C. §
1983 where applicable.
The claim also implicates record keeping and electronic record responsibilities under Wis. Stat.
§§ 59.40 and 801.18, and record correction principles recognized by Wisconsin courts, including
State v. Prihoda, 2000 WI 123, 239 Wis. 2d 244, 618 N.W.2d 857.
4. Itemized relief sought
Claimant demands the following relief:
a. Correction of the public court record and any exported or public facing court record data that
is false, incomplete, misleading, or materially inaccurate.
b. Restriction, removal from public access, or correction of Document 166 and its docket
classiFication to reFlect that the document was administrative pre litigation correspondence to
the Clerk OfFice and not a substantive court Filing or motion.
c. Written certiFication of the accurate court record, charge description, case type, statute,
disposition, public display status, and correction history for the disputed entries.
d. Preservation of all evidence, including source data, vendor data, court record exports, WCCA or
CCAP public display data, clerk processing records, audit logs, docketing notes, internal
Santiago Notice of Claim Under Wis. Stat. § 893.80
Page 131 of 179
communications, and all records relating to receipt, scanning, classiFication, docketing, public
access, and dissemination of Document 166.
e. For state law claims subject to Wis. Stat. § 893.80, damages in the amount of $50,000, plus all
non monetary relief identiFied above, costs and fees where recoverable, and any additional
equitable, declaratory, injunctive, federal civil rights, or other relief not limited by Wis. Stat. §
893.80(3).
5. Reservation of rights
The damages amount stated above is included to provide a speciFic dollar demand for state law
claims subject to Wis. Stat. § 893.80 and to avoid any argument that the notice lacks a sum certain.
It does not concede that all claims are capped, that all remedies are monetary, or that federal civil
rights claims are limited by Wis. Stat. § 893.80. Federal claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 are reserved,
including under Felder v. Casey, 487 U.S. 131 (1988).
Nothing in this notice waives any right, claim, defense, damage claim, remedy, procedural
objection, statutory argument, constitutional argument, public records remedy, mandamus
remedy, injunctive remedy, declaratory remedy, or separate notice or service requirement.
Respectfully submitted,
Claimant pro se
