Watch the video: Skip to Minute 45:00. The Chair decided to move an agenda item up prior to public comments, instead of having the citizens speak first. Thank you to all who hung in there! 25 people spoke against the proposed draft ordinance. Zero spoke for it.

The intention of this ordinance is not to impact individual rights. It is a safety measure to protect all of us if our voluntary efforts fail to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and loss of life.
Public Health has the duty to protect the health and wellbeing of everyone in St. Croix County using the least restrictive means necessary. In extreme circumstances, some constitutional rights may be limited as long as there is a strong enough reason to do so and so long as the measures are implemented in the least restrictive manner possible." https://www.sccwi.gov/Faq.aspx?TID=40
Click here for the St. Croix County HHS Board Committee video from October 21. The Proposed Communicable Disease Ordinance is on the table for the HHS Board Committee meeting November 18. (If the video is not working, click here for SCC Meeting Portal Video link, choose drop-down menu for Health and Human Services Board).


When the HHS Subcommittee voted to postpone indefinitely the Draft Version 3 of the Ordinance, some people thought the ordinance was dead. Most of us knew better. Chair Ostness was not going to place any Proposed Ordinance on the agenda for November 18 HHS Board Committee.

However, if two members of a committee vote to have an agenda item, it must be placed on the agenda. Cathy Leaf (District 4) and Greg Tellijohn (District 14) forced the agenda item to move ahead with a Draft Proposed Ordinance for the November 18 meeting, along with all members of the HHS Department, none of whom are elected officials (Bob Rohret, Kelli Engen, Elizabeth Klasen, Deb Lindemann, Natasha Ward, Dr. Paul McGinniss). Scott Cox, Corporation Counsel, is the drafter of the ordinance(s) and enforcer of the ordinance.

This proposed Communicable Health Ordinance is overwhelmingly OPPOSED by the citizens of the St. Croix County.

DO NOT LET OFF THE GAS! This is why:

Pierce County voted in an ordinance that will have long-term, devastating results. Don't let St. Croix County be the same. If YOU don't do something, eventually, those who are protecting your Constitutional rights won't be there for you and your family.
