Gebhard, Grant County Clerk, do certify that this resolution was adopted by the Grant County Board of Supervisors at a meeting held on June 16, 2020. /s/ Linda K. Gebhard, Grant County Clerk COVID-19 Update, discussion, and possible action: Chair Keeney had Jeff Kindrai give the COVID19 update to the County Board for Grant County. Jeff stated it was mid-March when COVID19 started impacting our county. To date they have received 4,364 reported cases, this is 8% of our population, 113 of those cases reported being positive. There were 20 probable cases in the county, and 12 deaths and are hospitalizing COVID cases at a rate of 7%. There is a scheduled testing at the UW Platteville Campus, in conjunction with Emergency Management and National Guard. They are hoping to test 400 people during the day. Grant County status at this time is rated moderate and shrinking. Jeff would really like to see the clinics and hospitals open up and functioning at a more normal level. Medical care is very important at this time to maintain the regular checkups. This is a deadly disease, and should be taken seriously; he encourages social distancing to continue and hopes that everyone can behave responsibly going forward. Chair Keeney reported the county has established a couple task forces to work on opening the work place and what has been the fiscal impact of COVID-19 on our county. Chair Keeney reported Grant County has received CARES funds of $860,902.00 to help the impact of the virus on the county. There 6 have been other sources of money that has been deposited in the County to help reimburse for added expenses during the COVID-19 Pandemic which has helped the County. Chair Keeney shared the information he received from Forward Analytics on Economic Activity in a Pandemic regarding taxable sales in March and April. Grant County has fared pretty good with only a 1.7% decrease in taxable sales. The hardest hit industries have been clothing and accessory stores, food and drinking establishment, motor vehicle and parts dealers and furniture and home furnishing stores. Sauk County has taken the biggest hit. Progress Report, Discussion & Possible action on Grant County Community Services Facility: Chair Keeney reported that Brad Bierman, Garry Pluemer and he received some concerns on the pile of debris from the 52 Building. There are questions on a red substance that may be a lead base paint and they have been asked to conduct more testing on this. Hopefully this will not cost the county any more money but some of the debris may have to be trucked to a waste facility. There are still things on the punch list that they are working through. The sewer plant is working fine. Comprehensive Plan Change: None Zoning Amendment 567th: Justin Johnson presented the amendment to the Board.
