County breaks ground on Human Services Building project

Kenosha County Executive Samantha Kerkman speaks during a Tuesday groundbreaking ceremony for the new Kenosha County Human Services Building at 3500 52nd St. Pictured behind Kerkman, from left, are County Board Vice Chair Erin Decker; County Board Supervisors Zach Rodriguez and John Poole; Alderman Anthony Kennedy; Supervisors Andy Berg, Monica Yuhas, Zach Stock, Daniel Gaschke and Mark Nordigian; and County Board Chairman Gabe Nudo.

From the Office of the County Executive:

Construction work on Kenosha County’s Human Services Building project is now officially underway.

County Executive Samantha Kerkman joined other officials and project partners Tuesday, at a groundbreaking ceremony for the long-awaited project.

The county, in an innovative public-private partnership with Bear Development, is developing a facility that will better serve the needs of county residents, while addressing a longstanding facilities issue in county government, Kerkman said.

“This project is of great significance to Kenosha County, and to the entire community,” Kerkman said. “With this location, we are moving vital services to the center of the populations that we serve.”

Once complete, the new facility at 3500 52nd St. will house the many Human Services functions that are currently located in the Job Center building at 8600 Sheridan Road, a structure in need of significant repairs.

The new 147,000-square-foot facility will consist of 68,000 square feet of existing retail space that is being thoroughly renovated, as well as a two-story, 79,000-square-foot addition. It is located in the Sun Plaza shopping center, alongside the Kenosha Human Development Services headquarters and across the parking lot from the Kenosha Unified School District Educational Support Center.

Operations to be located in the new facility include the Division of Aging, Disability and Behavioral Health Services; Public Health; Workforce Development and its various functions; the Division of Children and Family Services, Child Support Services and Veterans Services.

“We are breaking ground today on a facility that will not only be efficient for employees, but also a warm, inviting and functional space for all who enter,” said Kenosha County Human Services Director John Jansen. “We look forward to continued collaboration with all of our partners as the project moves forward.”

County Board Chairman Gabe Nudo was also among the dignitaries who spoke at Tuesday’s ceremony.

“The County Board has been supportive of this project from Day 1, and I’m pleased to see construction underway,” Nudo said. “This is a win-win for the county and the community at large.”

Kerkman joined Nudo in thanking the County Board for its ongoing support, offering particular credit to Supervisors Laura Belsky and Zach Stock. Belsky was the Human Services Committee chair when the project was initially approved, while Stock is the current chair overseeing the committee as the work begins.

The county executive also thanked the state for its support. Gov. Tony Evers in March 2022 awarded a $9.85 million Neighborhood Investment Fund grant to benefit the project.

Under the public-private partnership arrangement, Bear Development is redeveloping and will own the property for five years after the county’s occupancy begins, at which point ownership will transfer to Kenosha County.

As part of the agreement, Bear will assume ownership of the Job Center property on Sheridan Road upon Kenosha County taking occupancy at Sun Plaza. The Job Center property will be used for future private development.
Bear Real Estate Development Group President S.R. Mills said the company is pleased to be a partner in the project.

“The relocation of Kenosha County Human Services is a major catalyst for existing retail businesses in Sun Plaza,” Mills said. “The redevelopment of the center will spur additional investment opportunities along the 52nd Street corridor and throughout the Wilson Heights neighborhood.”

Other project partners include Bear-affiliated general contractor Construction Management Associates Inc. and Kenosha-based Partners in Design Architects.

Occupancy of the building is currently expected at roughly midyear 2025.

Wheatland officials discuss EMS plan

A proposal to help fund Twin Lakes Rescue 24-hour staff was discussed by the Wheatland Town Board this week.

In late, August, Twin Lakes, Randall and Wheatland opened talks on how to create and fund full-time EMTs to cover those three municipalities on a 24-hour schedule.  Currently Twin Lakes Rescue, a separate entity from the village of Twin Lakes, provides emergency medical services to those municipalities.

TL Rescue officials, facing increased difficulty in providing services with its volunteer and paid on call staffing, developed the proposal for Twin Lakes to hire six advanced EMT level/firefighters and a supervisor, who would be village of Twin Lakes employees, but work for TL Rescue. The EMT/firefighters would work 24 hours on, 48 off. The supervisor would have a more conventional Monday-Friday, daytime schedule, with some exceptions. Starting salary would be $55,000-75,000 depending on licensure, certifications, and position. While the new full-time EMT/firefighters would be village of Twin Lakes employees, TL Rescue would retain ownership of its building and equipment, including its ambulances. Up keep and replacement of that equipment would continue to be paid for through donations and billing for services.

The rescue squad estimates the cost of the new personnel to be $800,000 to $1 million.

Having full-rime personnel in the station 25 hours a day would dramatically improve response time, especially during nights and weekends.

Since a joint meeting Aug. 30 in Twin Lakes, Twin Lakes, Randall and Wheatland officials have been discussing how to move forward. That continued Monday for Wheatland.

In August, officials were talking about three referendums to fund their municipalities share. Further exploration of the finances has caused some exploration of perhaps funding from existing budget instead.

In Wheatland, authorizing additional tax authority through a referendum still seemed to be the preferred path at Monday’s Town Board meeting. Reasoning was that getting approval for additional taxing power through a referendum would secure the funding for the referendum’s term. If the town found money say next year to pay its share, the next year might be a different story, town Chairman Brett Butler said.

A referendum would likely take place in conjunction with the spring election in April.

Butler also reminded the board that the town is required to provide emergency medical services.

Wheatland Vol. Fire Department Chief Lou Denko said he also felt a refendum was best to lock in funding. While he says the three municipalities and fire departments do work together well, he added that he doesn’t see a viable alternative either.

For example, hiring a private rescue company could lead to back-up problems when multiple calls are happening at once, Denko said. Private companies often see a lot of turnover and individuals probably will lack local knowledge.

Another unsettled issue is how the three municipalities will split the approximately $1 million in estimated compensation cost.

At the August joint meeting, Twin Lakes village President Howard Skinner proposed a 40 percent for Twin Lakes and then a 30 percent split for Randall and Wheatland each. That split acknowledges that Twin Lakes, by having the EMS workers as village employees., would incur some additional costs beyond compensation.

Randall Chairman Paula Soderman at that time argued for a split based on population size. Twin Lakes has about 6,300 residents, Randall about 3,400 and Wheatland about 3,100.

In contracting with Twin Lakes Rescue for service, Twin Lakes currently pays $85,000 per year and Wheatland and Randall $60,000. Those fees would no longer be collected and that budget could be applied toward the cost for the full time EMS staff.

Another joint meeting of the three municipalities has not been scheduled. Twin Lakes has further discussion on its board committee of the whole meeting agenda on Monday. Randall discussed the topic in closed session on Sept. 14.

Moving forward, educating residents about the situation will be key to its success, Butler said.

“We will keep looking at options for advertising and how to get the word out on it,” Butler said.

A word from our sponsors: ADRC offers free assistance on Medicare’s Annual Open Enrollment; sessions start Oct. 17

Note: This is a paid announcement from Kenosha County Aging & Disability Resource Center. — Dh

Medicare’s Annual Open Enrollment Period is October 15 – December 7.  It’s an important time of year for those on Medicare to review current coverage and see if any changes are needed for the coming year.  Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plan details often change every year.  Sorting through all the options to find the right plan for prescriptions can be confusing but Benefit Specialists at the Kenosha County Aging & Disability Resource Center can assist.

There are four basic reasons to check your plan:

  1. Your plan may cost more next year
  2. Your plan may no longer cover all your medications
  3. Your plan may have put restrictions on some of your medications
  4. You may be taking different medications now

ADRC Benefit Specialists offer objective and reliable information and assistance. There is no charge for this service. The Benefit Specialists do not sell or endorse any insurance plans. Benefit Specialists at the ADRC are trained to carefully review current coverage and compare plans with other options based on medications and other details.  Benefit Specialists also check to see if beneficiaries qualify for programs or benefits that can save money.

Workshops will be offered throughout Kenosha County beginning on October 17.

Salem Lakes brings back former clerk in new post, says farewell to attorney

The Salem Lakes Village Board recently said hello to a familiar face and farewell to another.

At a special meeting Sept. 19, the board created the position of chief deputy clerk and appointed Shannon Hahn to the post. Hahn previously worked for the village, including as village clerk from July 2019 to Feb. 2023.

The board also hired a new village attorney following the resignation of longtime attorney Richard Scholze. Scholze resigned via email with an effective date of Sept. 30.

Interim village Clerk Eileene Anderson said the chief deputy clerk will be able to work on anything the clerk does, but was especially needed for elections. Michael Ullstrup, who had been the village’s chief election official, died in February.

“People think elections take place on one day,” Anderson said, “but it takes a lot of prep work.”

Village President Rita Bucur pointed that due to Hahn’s previous tenure with the village she will not need training.

Hahn will be paid $23 per hour, Anderson said.

Motions to approve creating the chief deputy clerk position and hiring Hahn were both approved unanimously with all members present.

The board also named a new village attorney at the same meeting.

The board approved hiring Remzy D. Bitar as the village’s general attorney. He practices with law firm Municipal Law & Litigation, based in Waukesha.

Bitar replaces Richard Scholze, who resigned his position via email to Bucur on Sept. 12. He practices with Burlington-based law firm Scholze, Ludwig, Gruhn & Wishau, SC.

“I have enjoyed representing the Village (and the Town prior to consolidation) over the years and wish you, the Board and staff well,” Scholze said in his resignation statement.

Bucur brought forth Bitar and his firm in discussing a replacement for Scholze. The firm has done some recent legal for the village.

Bucur praised the resources available through Bitar’s firm.

“He has given sound advice,” Bucur said. “He has a lot of resources in his office … and I kind of like that he is an outsider and not from here.”

Trustee Kelly Sweeting advocated for shopping for an attorney through a request for proposals process.

“I would like to see what’s out there,” Sweeting said. “We’re a small village. We’re used to one-on-one service.”

Municipal Law & Litigation’s rate is $210/hour, with an increase to $216 to go into effect soon. Scholze’s firm charged $160/hour.

Hiring Bitar was approved 6 to 1 with Sweeting voting against.
