COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LANGUAGE
Town of Baldwin Comprehensive Plan Language Summary (p. 117 of Baldwin Plan):
• The Agriculture Farmland Preservation Area is intended to protect productive farmland and ongoing
agricultural operations, encourage continued investment in farming, and maintain the rural character of these
areas. Lands within this designation should be used and managed in a way that allows them to qualify for
certification as a Farmland Preservation Zoning District under §91.38 (AG-1 or AG-2 zoning districts under the
St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance). These zoning districts support long-term agricultural use by limiting
development density and reducing pressure for non-farm development.
St. Croix County Comprehensive Plan (2024-2045) - Farmland Preservation Plan (FPP)
The St. Croix County Comprehensive Plan FPP Map designates the subject parcel as “Farmland Preservation
Plan” areas shown on following page
• To qualify a parcel must meet specific LE (Land Evaluation) and SA (Site Assessment) scores (LESA scoring
system):
• Scoring was developed by the Soil Conservation Service of the U.S. Dept of Agriculture to identify productive
agricultural lands and activities and offer tax incentives to keep property in long term agriculture
• Scoring criteria includes soil characteristics, soil productivity, parcel size, and land use policy of local
comprehensive plans
• The FPP designation on the parcel supports AG-1 or AG-2 zoning – zoning districts certified by the State to
promote long-term agriculture use and qualify for income tax credits

2026 Annual Report
ST. CROIX COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION
Mission Statement
The Mission of the St. Croix County Fair Association is to promote Agriculture, Stock Raising,
Dairying, Horticulture, Manufacturing, Education, Art, and all such activities that shall tend to
develop the resources and promote the prosperity of St. Croix County. In a nutshell, our Mission
Statement can be summed us as: To provide a positive and welcoming community event for
people of all ages that supports agriculture by preserving our past, promoting the present, and
educating for the future, while providing a place to display our talents, share our heritage, and
connect with others.
Summary of Responsibilities
• The primary responsibility of the St. Croix County Fair Association is to
provide educational events in which members of St. Croix County 4 -H,
F.F.A., other youth clubs, and other people exhibit individual and group
projects. While the fair is a five-day event, the process of conducting the
Fair is a yearlong process that begins immediately after the current fair.
• Additionally, it is the responsibility of the St. Croix County Fair Association
to act as the coordinating body between the St. Croix County Board of
Supervisors, St. Croix County Community Development Committee, Senior
Citizens, 4H Leaders Council, and the Association for Home and
Community Education (HCE) to carry out our Mission Statement.
• Further, the lease agreement between St. Croix County Fair, Inc. and the
County Administration places in the Fair Association control to manage,
develop, maintain, and act as the rental agent for the St. Croix County
Fairgrounds.
This is accomplished through a n elected 15 member volunteer Board of
Directors who as a whole, or divided into committees handle every aspect
of planning and managing the St. Croix County Fair, and who manage all
non-fair events that take place on the fairgrounds. The Board includes
representatives from all the coordination bodies listed above. The Board
oversees the development of enhancements and improvements to the
fairgrounds, and is responsible for maintaining the grounds and buildings.
• With a few exceptions, the responsibilities of the Fair Board in the process
of conducting the Fair are volunteer positions. In the weeks before, during,
and a few days after the Fair, individuals contribute anywhere from 30 to
Page 32 of 111
200 hours. Outside of the Fair itself, all the activities of Fair business are
coordinated from home offices where time to accomplish these tasks can
amount to hundreds of volunteer hours.
Program Summary
The core program element of the Fair is the heart of all agricultural fairs in North
America today. Our community comes together annually to celebrate and
promote all the agricultural and domestic products of our county. The Fair
provides industrial exhi bits, demonstrations, and competition for the
advancement of livestock, horticulture and agriculture with special emphasis
placed on educational activities such as 4-H, FFA, and similar youth development
programs. It cultivates curiosity, learning, creati vity, and leadership skills in our
youth who participate. For the adults of St. Croix County, the Fair provides a place
to foster cultural and fine arts, serves as a place to display and share our heritage,
and connect with others. This great community event affects people all over St.
Croix County. Not only is the St. Croix County Fair a place for people to share
their talents, meet and socialize, entertain and be entertained, but it allows
everyone the opportunity to see, hear, touch, smell, and taste the richness and
variety of what our county has to offer.
The St. Croix County Fair is a FREE fair with no admission charge to all the exhibit
buildings, barns, show arenas, and Croix Court entertainment. It offers a wide
variety of enjoyment and activities from “Fair Food”, carnival games and rides,
petting zoo , mud volleyball, kiddie tractor pull, professional and local
entertainment, K-9 demonstrations, and of course all the youth animal exhibits
and non-animal exhibits from youth and adults.

Goals / Objectives Achieved 2025… just to name a few:
-- Partnership with Fair.com for integrating online ticket sales for the south end
events. -- One of our main goals is to establish a reliable internet/wi-fi accessibility
for our south end events.
The plan was to implement a new service to accommodate appropriate
connectivity to the south end of the fairgrounds which will allow us to implement
ticketing services for online purchases to our Special events areas and expand
those services in the future for other online purchase options related to the fair or
fair management.
*This was partially accomplished with a secondary designated network and new
wi-fi access points, however it was determined there was not enough broadband
speed to enable these new points to be viable for onsite ticketing requirement.
-- Purchase and installation of four 10 x 27’ bleacher sets. Thanks to the donations
from individuals, St. Croix County PRCA Rodeo and St. Croix County Fair, Inc, this
the purchase was accomplished! Special thanks to the construction crew and
certain individual who gave of their time and talents who worked tirelessly to
have these in place and ready for the 2025 St. Croix County Fair.!!
Page 35 of 111
-- Enhanced special events area with additional fencing and barriers for spectator safety and
security. This was done exceptionally well and provided extra safety measure for both
spectators and participant.
-- New roof and remodel of existing restrooms on the main grounds near the judging arena.
Bathroom roof was completed early this spring! Remodel, and goal of resurfacing the floors is
on the back burner for now.
-- -- Another goal would be to coordinate with the County Highway Department and the City of
Glenwood City to do the necessary repairs to the blacktop roads that service the fairgrounds.
Not done, only band-aids.
-- Develop a communication plan to all locations on the fairgrounds (41 acres) by installing
a suitable public address system that would link 90 -100% of all buildings and areas for
broadcast of general announcements, but more critically for safety and emergen cy
information. Not only would this be of benefit during the fair, but also should the site be
used for any community or county, effective communication would be necessary. This
project could be accomplished in phases; however, costs would only increase o ver time.
$30-$40,000. Not yet!
Other Accomplishments
--Recognition to the David and Wendy Sander family for the Wisconsin Century
Farm Award
--Purchase of Livestock Pens: Contribution from Fair Board of $19K+.
-- Build My Future SCVBA recognition as Top Talent Initiative! From Momentum West.

-- Install LED photocells on several more areas/building to save energy expenses
Plus many more!!!
Department Budget Status
The 202 6 Fair Association anticipated operating budget worked out to
$282,000. Generally speaking, 52% of our budget revenue is Fair related which is
generated from grandstand events, parking revenue, commercial vendor space
rental, food and beverage concessions , camping fees , sponsorships, carnival
percentage, State aid, and administrative income such as interest and dividends .
21% comes from winter storage and non-fairgrounds rental fees. Though not an
official department of the County, the Fair Association does falls under the
Community Development Committee. Our budget request to the County
typically accounts for about 27% of our total operating budget.
Page 36 of 111
On the expense side of our budget, about 50% is directly fair related for such
things as non-volunteer labor, equipment rental, concession products, Fair Board
officers and superintendent’s stipends, judges, premiums not compensated by
DATCP, tags, ribbons and trophies. It also includes entertainment, special event
expenses, advertising, printing, and office supplies. Annual non -fair business
operating expenses such as insurance, utilities, cost for services, fuel, general
maintenance and supplies are 25%. That leaves only 25% for facility maintenance
and capital improvements, which allow us to manage, devel op, maintain and
improve the SCC fairgrounds.
Grants Received
2025: $4000 Compeer Financial “Fund for Rural America” fairgrounds
improvements, will be used toward laying a 91’ x 13’ apron on the north side of
the multispecies building. We added an apron into the south side of the building
as well to enhance ease of access and help with bio security.
Additional grants from Friends of the St. Croix County Fairgrounds to help with
compensation for the loan contributions and interest payments. Currently we are
at @$82K left on our loan and anticipate with fundraising that will be paid of by
the end of 2026.
-- Promotion and education includes our current Fairest of the Fair and Fair
Board presence at community events, posters, and schedule brochures, which
are handed out at parades and other events. Advertising consists of media
coverage through radio ads, along with inserts in several media publications,
and continuation of our 2023 venture with a small-scale direct mail campaign to
selected postal routes.

-- St. Croix Valley PRCA Rodeo is held the third weekend in August. 202 5 saw
our 13th season of the Professional Rodeo held at the St. Croix County
Fairgrounds. The attendance the last two years has been outstanding bringing in
crowds of over 2000 each of the two nights of performance. Profits from the Rodeo
are used to provide enhancements to the Rodeo experience and equipment as well
as improvements to the fairgrounds. For example, in 2024-2025 $10,000 of Rodeo
profits were contributed to the 2024 principal payment for Tiffany Creek Bathroom
project (contributions of $110,000 to date) and $30,000 was donated for the
purchase of new bleachers $72K project.

excellent appearance and maintenance of the grounds and facilities.
Further, each year during our Rodeo the Miss Wisconsin and Miss Teen Wisconsin
Rodeo Pageant is held with the winner announced at the Saturday night
performance. The 2026 Miss Rodeo Wisconsin is Shannon Sachs.

Resolution Amending Personnel Policies
Cover Memo
To: Administration Committee
From: Ken Witt, County Administrator
Audrie Haycraft, Human Resources Director
Date: June 2, 2026
Agenda Item: Resolution Amending Personnel Policies
Background Information:
Overtime and Compensatory Time Policy
• Added a minimum compensatory time balance required for the annual payout.
• Updated the timing of the annual payout.
• Added language to allow employees the ability to use compensatory time during the final payroll of the year.
Breastfeeding Support Policy
Reason for Update
The policy is being revised to ensure compliance with the federal Providing Urgent Maternal Protections (PUMP) for
Nursing Mothers Act, enacted in 2022, which amended the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The current policy predates
this amendment.
Summary of Proposed Changes
1. Updated Legal References
o Adds reference to the FLSA as amended by the PUMP Act.
o Clarifies statutory authority for required break time and private space.
2. Clarified Break Time Requirements
o Confirms employees may take reasonable break time for up to one year following the birth of a child (or
longer if required by law).
o Clarifies compensation for break time will follow applicable wage and hour laws.
3. Expanded Lactation Space Language
o Specifies that lactation space must:
▪ Not be a bathroom
▪ Be shielded from view
▪ Be free from intrusion
▪ Be functional for expressing milk
(Aligns with updated federal requirements.)
4. Terminology Updates
o Replaces gender-specific terms with inclusive language (e.g., “nursing employee”).
o Clarifies responsibilities and coordination procedures.
5. Added Non-Retaliation Provision
o Explicitly prohibits discrimination or retaliation for exercising rights under applicable law.
Page 63 of 111
Overall Impact
These changes align the policy with federal law updates and clarify existing County practices. No operational changes are
anticipated; revisions are primarily compliance and clarification in nature.
Reasonable Accommodation Policy – Proposed Changes
Reason for Update
The policy is being revised to incorporate compliance with the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), effective
June 27, 2023. The existing policy addressed ADA accommodations only and did not reflect the expanded pregnancy
accommodation requirements under federal law.
Summary of Proposed Changes
1. Added PWFA Compliance Language
o Incorporates reference to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.
o Expands policy scope to include pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions.
2. New Definitions
o Adds definition of “Known Limitation” under PWFA.
o Clarifies distinction between ADA “disability” and pregnancy-related limitations that may not rise to the
level of a disability.
3. Pregnancy Accommodation Section
o Adds dedicated section outlining:
▪ Employer obligation to provide reasonable accommodations for pregnancy-related limitations.
▪ Requirement to engage in the interactive process.
▪ Prohibition on requiring leave if another accommodation is available.
▪ Prohibition on denying employment opportunities due to accommodation needs.
4. Medical Documentation Clarification
o Specifies circumstances when documentation may not be required, consistent with federal guidance.
5. Expanded Examples of Reasonable Accommodations
o Adds examples commonly associated with pregnancy accommodations (e.g., additional breaks, seating,
light duty, lifting restrictions).
6. Non-Retaliation Provision
o Adds explicit protection against retaliation for requesting or participating in the accommodation
process.
Overall Impact
The revisions expand the County’s accommodation framework to include pregnancy-related limitations as required by
federal law. The County already engages in interactive accommodation practices; these updates formalize compliance
and reduce legal exposure.
Employee Conduct and Work Rules Policy – Proposed Changes
Reason for Update
The policy is being revised to align attendance expectations with updated language in the County’s Paid Time Off (PTO)
and Leave Time Sick Bank (LTSB) policies.
Summary of Proposed Changes
1. Updated Attendance Notification Requirements
a. Clarifies expectations for foreseeable absences, requiring employees to notify their supervisor as soon
Page 64 of 111
as the need is known and in accordance with departmental procedures.
b. Establishes defined notice requirements for unforeseeable absences:
i. At least one (1) hour prior to the start of the shift for nonessential/interruptible services
ii. At least two (2) hours prior for essential/uninterruptible services
c. Adds guidance for situations where advance notice is not possible, requiring employees to notify their
supervisor as soon as possible.
Overall Impact
These changes align the attendance section with updated PTO and LTSB policies and provide clearer, more consistent
expectations for employee notification of absences and tardiness. No substantive operational changes are anticipated.
Drug Free Workplace Policy Proposed Updates
Reason for Update
The policy is being revised to clarify return-to-work and follow-up testing procedures, align with DOT requirements, and
provide greater flexibility in administration of discipline and employee assistance provisions.
Summary of Proposed Changes
1. Post-Accident Testing (CDL) Clarification
o Clarifies that the County may require post-accident testing based on the information available at the
time, even if later information changes.
2. Post -Accident Testing (Non-CDL) Clarification
o Clarifies and defines timeline for testing requirements.
3. Revised Return-to-Work and Follow-Up Testing Structure
o Replaces the prior fixed follow-up testing requirements (e.g., minimum number of tests over defined
timeframes) with a more flexible, program-based approach.
o Adds distinction between DOT-regulated and non-DOT employees, with DOT employees required to
follow federal FMCSA return-to-duty processes.
o Allows the County to determine follow-up testing requirements for non-DOT employees based on
circumstances.
o Adds language clarifying that continued employment is not guaranteed following a policy violation.
o Introduces provisions allowing temporary assignment to non-safety-sensitive duties, when available.
o Clarifies that failure to comply with return-to-work requirements may result in discipline up to and
including termination.
o Adds language assigning responsibility for evaluation, treatment, and follow-up testing costs to the
employee (unless otherwise required).
o Replaced the fixed requirement of six (6) follow-up tests within twelve (12) months with a discretionary,
case-by-case approach in consultation with a substance abuse professional.
4. Disciplinary Action Language Revision
o Updates language to clarify that employees may be placed on administrative leave pending
investigation, rather than requiring automatic placement.
o Adds reference to positive test results as a basis for disciplinary action.
Overall Impact
These changes primarily clarify and modernize the policy by replacing prescriptive requirements with a more flexible,
compliance-based approach. The revisions enhance alignment with federal regulations, improve administrative
discretion, and refine existing language without altering the overall intent of maintaining a drug-free workplace.
Page 65 of 111
Paid Time Off (PTO) and Long-Term Sick Bank (LTSB) Policy – Proposed Changes
1. Structural, Organizational, and General Language Improvements
• The revised policy has been reorganized for clarity and usability, including:
o Clear section groupings (e.g., Use of PTO and LTSB, Requesting Leave, FMLA Coordination).
o Separation of topics such as accrual, usage, and documentation.
o Grammar, formatting, and consistency improved
o Ambiguous or informal phrasing replaced with clear, policy-driven language
o Reduced redundancy and improved readability
• Redundant or scattered provisions in the prior version were consolidated into logical sections.
2. Expanded and Formalized FMLA Coordination
• New standalone section detailing FMLA coordination requirements, including:
o Requirement to notify HR when absences exceed three consecutive days.
o Clarification that absences may qualify for FMLA regardless of duration depending on circumstances.
o Explicit statement that:
▪ FMLA policy governs when applicable
▪ Medical certification under FMLA supersedes discretionary documentation
• Prior policy referenced FMLA generally but lacked procedural clarity.
3. Documentation and Return-to-Work Clarifications
• Documentation expectations are now:
o More structured and tied to FMLA requirements.
o Clearly distinguished between discretionary documentation and required certification.
4. Collective Bargaining Language Added
• New section explicitly states:
o Collective bargaining agreements control in case of conflict
o Language clarifying the PTO Cash Payout Option is not available to bargaining unit employees, per the
bargaining agreement
5. Separation and PTO Payout Updates
• PTO Payout and LTSB section now:
o References the County Separation from Employment Policy

Overtime and Compensatory Time Policy – Human Resources Policies and Procedures 1
Overtime and Compensatory Time Policy
Updated: July 2022June 2026
St. Croix County provides overtime and compensatory time to eligible employees in accordance with the Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA) guidelines.
Purpose
To maintain compliance with the Department of Labor’s FLSA laws.
Definitions
• Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): Federal legislation which sets guidelines for minimum wage, overtime
calculation, and recordkeeping. The FLSA is administered by the Wage and Hour Division of the United
States Department of Labor.
• Non-Exempt Vs. Exempt:
o Exempt employees are exempt from receiving overtime pay per standards set by the U.S.
Department of Labor and are oftentimes referred to as salaried workers.
•o Non-Exempt employees must be paid for all hours worked and must be paid overtime for hours
worked surpassing 40 in a week according to standards set by the U.S. Department of Labor and
are oftentimes referred to as hourly workers.
Overtime
Overtime for Non-Exempt Employees
The FLSA requires that employers provide overtime payments to all non-exempt employees at time and one-half
for all hours worked in excess of forty (40) in one week. For calculation purposes, the County designates each
week as Sunday through Saturday.
Overtime is not based on the accrual of daily hours, but rather on the accrual of weekly hours. Overtime is
determined only after forty (40) work hours. Work is defined as paid time; this includes all time off with pay
unless otherwise stated in the specific time off policy.
Page 68 of 111
Overtime and Compensatory Time Policy – Human Resources Policies and Procedures 2
Overtime is paid via direct deposit. Should an issue arise with an employee’s overtime payments the employee
and/or manager should review the matter with the Human Resources or Finance Departments.
Unionized employees should consult their contracts for specific provisions of overtime.
Overtime for Exempt Employees
Exempt employees are not entitled to receive overtime pay. Under certain circumstances the County may
approve to designateof designating an exempt position as a non-exempt position. This approval would qualify
employees working in said position to receive overtime as outlined in this chapter.
• Example: Registered Nurses and Registered Dieticians.
Requests for exemption status review should be submitted to the Human Resources Department for approval.
In a County “state of emergency” declared by the Governor of Wisconsin, and/or President of the United States
and/or County Board Chair, exempt employees may receive payment at their regular hourly rate for hours
worked in excess of forty (40) hours in a week. Only work performed in direct relation to the state of emergency
may be included for payment. Benefited time off shall not be included in the calculation of “hours worked.”
Health Care Campus Overtime Exceptions
The FLSA allows for special provisions in the operation of a nursing home. The “eight and eighty” rule indicates
that overtime is to be paid for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) in one (1) day or in excess of eighty (80) in a
two-week (2), fourteen (14) day period of time. The two-week (2) period runs from Sunday through Saturday for
fourteen (14) days. This provision permits the scheduling of staff on a broader schedule, more conducive to
direct care.
• Example: six (6) days on, three (3) days off; or seven (7) days on, four (4) days off.
The County retains the option to follow the eight (8) and eighty (80) exception or standard FLSA based on the
financial analysis of staffing patterns.
Compensatory Time
Compensatory Time for Non-Exempt Employees
Non-exempt employees may request to receive compensatory time in lieu of an overtime payout. Requests to
receive compensatory time must be approved by the employee’s Department Head, or designee.
Page 69 of 111
Overtime and Compensatory Time Policy – Human Resources Policies and Procedures 3
The maximum amount of compensatory time that an employee may accrue is sixty (60) hours. Hours accrued in
excess of this amount will be paid as overtime.
Accumulated compensatory time of balances over one (1) hour is paid out on an annual basis in December (The
payout will occur on the same payroll that includes the week of Thanksgiving).on the last payroll of the year.
The ability for Nnon-exempt employees can use comp time during the final payroll of the year, but the ability to
use or accrue compensatory time will be suspended temporarily beginning the first day of the last payroll period
following Thanksgiving through December 31st. Any time worked over 40 hours per week during this timeframe
will be paid out as overtime on the employee’s regular bi-weekly paycheck.
Employees can start using and accruing compensatory time beginning on 01/01 of each calendar year.
Compensatory Time for Exempt Employees
Except under extreme circumstances, as determined between the employee and the employee’s manager and
approved by the Department Head and County Administrator, exempt employees are not eligible to receive
compensatory time.
If compensatory time is approved, it is paid as regular time, not overtime.

Drug-Free Workplace Policy – Human Resources Policies and Procedures 1
Drug-Free Workplace Policy
Updated: April 2025June 2026
St. Croix County prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of a controlled
substance in the workplace, on work grounds, or within a County vehicle. This not only includes time spent in a
personal vehicle while on work time or at a location other than the workplace, but also on work time for a
conference, convention, seminar, or other authorized County activity.
Furthermore, the County strictly prohibits the use of alcohol and/or controlled substances by its employees and
volunteers who are performing or ready to perform job functions.
Purpose
To maintain a drug-free environment for employees and the general public.
Definitions
• Commercial Driver’s License (CDL): A driver’s license that is required to operate specific large, heavy, or
placarded hazardous material vehicles in commerce.
• Safety-Sensitive Positions: Positions that are more inclined to require ongoing or random drug testing
due to the nature of the work performed. Employees should confer with their Department Head and/or
Supervisor to determine if they are employed in a safety-sensitive position.
o Examples (although not limited to): Highway Operators, and any other positions requiring a
CDL.
• Probable Cause: (1) Suspicion based on a specific personal observation by a supervisor or another
regarding appearance, behavior, job performance, speech, or breath/odor of an employee; and/or (2)
Receipt of information about an employee’s suspected drug use from a reliable source.
Employer Notice
Employees have an absolute obligation to notify the County of any criminal drug statute conviction for a
violation occurring in the workplace no later than five (5) days after such a conviction. The County has thirty (30)
days to respond to such notice from the employee.
Page 84 of 111
Drug-Free Workplace Policy – Human Resources Policies and Procedures 2
Under penalty of federal law and County personnel policy, an employee with a CDL who is called out to work,
whether a regular shift or an overtime shift, has an absolute obligation to inform the employee’s supervisor if
the employee has had any alcoholic beverages, the effects of which may remain in the employee’s system, or if
the employee has taken drugs which may be an impairment to the employee’s ability to operate equipment and
perform the employee’s job. Disclosure of this information will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to
determine if disciplinary action is appropriate and warranted.
Drug and Alcohol Testing
Specific departments may require initial and ongoing or random drug testing of their employees. These
requirements may be in response to federal, state, or County mandates to assure that employees in safety-
sensitive positions remain drug-free.
Should an employee refuse to take a required test, the employee will be immediately removed from their work
assignment. Furthermore, refusal to submit a drug and/or alcohol test is considered to be a positive test and
actions will be taken that are commensurate with the positive test.
A positive drug or alcohol test with results of .02 percent or above finds the employee in violation of St. Croix
County’s Drug-Free Workplace Policy.
Drug and alcohol testing may be conducted in the following situations:
• Pre-Placement: Prior to the first time a candidate works for the County, they are screened for alcohol
and controlled substances. A positive result will disqualify the employee from further consideration for
the vacancy or the eligibility list.
• Job Transfer: Prior to the first time an employee performs safety-sensitive assignments as part of a job
transfer or promotion, the employee will be tested. A positive result will disqualify the employee from
further consideration for the position and may result in disciplinary action.
• Probable Cause (Reasonable Suspicion): In a situation where an employee is either acting in an
impaired manner and/or the Department Head or Supervisor has probable cause to believing the
employee is using, in possession of, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the supervisor should
first seek a corroborating opinion from another supervisor or employee prior to immediately removing
the employee from the job.
o If there is an immediate concern of danger, the supervisor removes the employee without
corroboration.
Page 85 of 111
Drug-Free Workplace Policy – Human Resources Policies and Procedures 3
o Once an employee has been removed from the job, the supervisor contacts the Human
Resources Department. If contact cannot be made at that time, the supervisor proceeds to the
next step of the procedure, and the employee is transported to the collection site for immediate
drug and/or alcohol testing no later than two (2) hours after the Department Head (or
Supervisor) observed the behavior. The Department Head (or Supervisor) waits at the collection
site until the test has been completed.
o If test results are available immediately and the employee receives a positive test, the employee
is not permitted to drive the employee’s vehicle home or back to work. The employee must
make alternative transportation arrangements to leave the collection site.
o The employee is not to report to work and is placed on unpaid leave. This is a special
administrative leave that supersedes the Paid Time Off Policy.
o Once the test is completed and the employee is sent home, the supervisor submits a written
report to the Human Resources Department outlining in detail, the event and the observed
behavior that led the supervisor to the belief that the employee was under the influence of
alcohol and/or drugs. This report must be completed within twenty-four (24) hours of testing.
o The drug testing results are sent directly to the Human Resources Department. Then, the results
are shared with the employee’s Supervisor and/or Department Head. The Department Head (or
Supervisor) shall discuss the results with the employee and determine the appropriate course of
action.
• Random Drug/Alcohol Testing: Random alcohol and drug testing may be conducted before, during, or
immediately after an employee’s job performance when the employee holds a safety-sensitive position.
o The minimum annual percentage rate for random alcohol testing is at the licensing level or by
state/federal authorities. Employees are randomly selected for testing from a pool of employees
that are subject to this testing. The testing dates and times are unannounced and are with an
unpredictable frequency throughout the year. Because the testing is done through a random
program, each employee has an equal chance of being tested each time selections are made.
• Post-Accident Testing (CDL): For the purposes of this policy, post-accident refers to any on-duty
accident involving a commercial motor vehicle that meets one or more of the following criteria:
o Results in a fatality, regardless of whether the driver receives a citation.
o Results in bodily injury requiring immediate medical treatment away from the scene and the
driver receives a citation.
o Requires the vehicle to be towed from the scene due to disabling damage and the driver
receives a citation.
Page 86 of 111
Drug-Free Workplace Policy – Human Resources Policies and Procedures 4
Following a post-accident as defined above, all covered employees must submit to alcohol (breath or
blood) testing and controlled substance (urinalysis) testing as soon as practicable after the accident.
Alcohol testing must be conducted within two (2) hours of the accident, and controlled substance
testing must be completed within thirty-two (32) hours of the accident. An employee who is subject to
post-accident alcohol and controlled substance testing must remain readily available for such testing or
the employee is deemed to have refused to submit to testing.
In addition, the County may require post-accident alcohol and/or controlled substance testing when the
information reasonably available at the time of the accident indicates that the criteria for such testing
may have been met. Determinations will be based on the best information available at the time and will

From: Ken Witt, County Administrator
Robbie Krejci, Highway Commissioner
Date: June 2, 2026
Agenda Item: Ordinance Amending Chapter 79 - All Terrain and Utility Terrain Vehicle Route - of the St. Croix
County Code of Ordinances
Background Information:
St. Croix County policy allows local governmental entities to annually submit applications to designate ATV/UTV routes
on County Trunk Highways.
In 2026, the Town of Glenwood and Rush River submitted applications for the following routes:
- CTH X from Dunn County Line to City of Glenwood City Limits (145th Avenue); and
- CTH Y from 4th Avenue to 18th Avenue.
The Highway Department has reviewed these applications and recommended approval, which are attached. The
Department also coordinated with the St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office, which concurs with the Highway Department’s
recommendations.
In addition, the City of Glenwood City adopted Ordinance No. 2025-09 at its meeting held on December 15, 2025. The
City ordinance amends Chapter 352, Article II of the City Code regarding the operation of all-terrain vehicles to read as
follows:
A. Public Property. The City of Glenwood City allows for the operation of all-terrain vehicles upon all City roadways with
a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less, and additionally that portion of Highway 170 from 7th Street to 320th
Street.
Based on the City of Glenwood City adoption of Ordinance No. 2025-09, Wis. Stat. §§ 233.33(4)(d)3.b. and (11)(am)3
requires the County to also enact an ordinance for the ATV/UTV route over the State Highway to be approved.
Therefore, the route below is added to Section 79.06 for approval as follows:
- STH 170 from 7th Street to 320th Street, distance of 0.07 miles.
