As a criminal-justice major at Towson University, Tony Conrad once dreamed of a career with the FBI. But after four years of working in telecommunications, the lifelong waterman could no longer ignore what seemed a clarion call to catch crabs. "My cousin Billy was a waterman," explains Conrad, 37. "My great grandfather was a waterman, [and] my great, great grandmother had a seafood restaurant in the 1800s."
In 2003, Conrad retired from the corporate world to sell crabs and carry on his family's legacy of catching crabs. He started out by selling his day's catch to local businesses. Then, in 2007, Conrad and his wife, Andrea, decided to open Conrad's Crabs & Seafood Market in Tony's native Parkville.
But even owning a successful seafood business hasn't turned the self-proclaimed "baybilly" into a landlubber. "I've been a waterman since I was an 8-year-old kid with a life preserver around my neck and a rope tied to the gunwale," says Conrad. "I never understood why it felt so great to be on the water, but they say it's genetic."
Most mornings, Conrad is on the Hannah Marie (named for the couple's 6-year-old daughter) with his crew at sunrise, plucking jimmy's (highly coveted male crabs plump with meat) and sooks (mature female crabs) from some 600 crab pots brought up from the Chesapeake Bay. "I dream crabs," he says, laughing. "It's a sickness."
Conrad is equally obsessed with maintaining quality control—once the crabs have been caught, Conrad employs a labor-intensive and somewhat scientific sorting system. While many crab operations don't sort the stock until it's long out of the water, Conrad's crabs get sorted twice—once while still on the Hannah Marie and again at Conrad's in a so-called "cold coffin" (a room at the back of the market with Arctic-like temperatures), where bushels of crabs skitter in sorting baskets. "If a crab is good, it should have a rock-hard sweet spot that means that it's full of mustard and meat and won't be light," explains Conrad, pressing on a crab's underbelly to make his point. "What makes us unique is that we squeeze every crab twice."
More than anything, what drives Conrad is the pride he takes in promoting one of Maryland's greatest natural resources. "I get mad when you walk into a local seafood place, and they say the shrimp is from Thailand and the salmon was farm-raised," he says. "When you look at the state of Maryland [on a map], the Chesapeake is right in your face—you don't see Arbutus or the Rocky Gap [State Park]. You see the Chesapeake Bay going through the whole state. Maryland is seafood."

What career professionals can do for you
- 2 Comments |
- E-mail |
Several friends have contacted me recently about potential career changes. One has worked as a technical writer her entire career; she's feeling burned out, but isn't sure whether it's because of her current company or if she is ready for a career change.
Another is a stay-at-home mom looking to enter the workforce for the first time since college. She has been developing a variety of skills, but has no idea how to go about deciding on a career path.
As a recruiter, I get a wide variety of people contacting me who want help with their resumes, careers and networking skills. I usually refer them to professionals who can help them with their job searches. Several weeks ago, I clarified some of these roles; today, I'd like to focus on career counselors and coaches.
Career counselors, similar to therapists, can help with the emotional strain and turmoil associated with an unhappy career, such as anxiety and depression. They often have advanced degrees in fields such as psychology or organizational development. Career coaches typically function more as mentors and guides in self-discovery as it relates to career satisfaction.
There is a lot of confusion about what career counselors and coaches do, as well as how to engage with them. The first thing to understand is what they are not: They are not recruiters, they are not headhunters and they are not going to find you a job.
Some offer career-management options such as resume writing, interview practice or help with networking and professional branding. Their role is to help you identify and overcome your hurdles to achieving satisfaction in your current role, or to define your skills and interests to help you find or switch careers or industries.
The National Career Development Association has some great information and a search directory. The International Coach Federation, probably the most-respected association for career coaches, offers information and referrals.
Counselors will spend a significant amount of time getting to know you in terms of your interests, motivators and passions, and what is important to you (i.e., factors such as money, stability, social impact, work environment, industries, risk aversion and interest in continuing education, to name a few). They may use tools such as psychology tests or vocational assessments to help identify your strengths and interests.
After you have ascertained what you really want to do, a counselor will help you design a tailored roadmap to help you achieve those goals. It may be as simple as deciding to pursue a new degree or certification, or as complex as a several-year plan to transition out of your current career and start a business.
The best way to find a career counselor or coach is through referrals from friends, family members, colleagues and professionals (especially those in the HR field). Make sure you have a good rapport, and give yourself as much time as you need to work on your options.

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) -- Much of the talk about the fiscal cliff has been about the tax hikes that would affect nearly everyone, but the cuts in the "Budget Control Act" set to begin on January 1 could cut deep into the fabric of Connecticut.
Everyone knows that jet engines for the military is a big part of the Connecticut economy.
Thousands of good paying jobs are supported by jet engine orders and repairs for several sophisticated military aircraft at the Pratt and Whitney plants in East Hartford and Middletown.
And the other major 'United Technologies' defense contractor Sikorsky aircraft in Stratford.
Thousands more Connecticut jobs are connected to the production of nuclear powered submarines at General Dynamics Electric Boat in Groton.
But the jobs picture is much bigger than just those three companies. There are over 1,000 smaller subcontractors supporting them for a total of over 101 thousand Connecticut jobs.
According to an analysis by the 'Defense Technology Initiative', the nearly 13 billion federal dollars on all these programs generated over 24 billion dollars to support all those jobs last year.
If the defense department budget cuts go into effect in January, it is estimated the jobs losses in Connecticut would exceed 36,000, income loss over a billion and a half dollars.
Pete Gioia is the top economist with the state's largest business organization.
"Even if it's half as bad as the report suggests, basically we've lost all the jobs that we've created in the last couple of years, so this is a real threat. It could very well de-rail recovery," Gioia of the CT Business & Industry Association said.
The uncertainty about what is going to be decided between the President and Congress about this over the next six weeks is causing Connecticut companies to postpone all decisions.
"They're all on hold because, frankly, everybody's indicated that no one knows whether those production lines are going to be increased or they're going to slow down," Elliot Ginsberg of the CT Center for Advanced Technology said.

Cougars Stomp Wildcats |
Colleges - Men's DI College | |||
Paced by a sterling effort from their massive forwards, Brigham Young University looked most impressive in defeating Central Washington 76-7 Thursday in the first match of a three-game trip to Seattle. BYU rode a coach all the way from Provo on a somewhat hair-raising overnight trip through the mountains. But they made it safely and put the Wildcats on notice early. BYU muffed the kickoff, giving Central an attacking scrum right off the bat. However, the Cougar pack, anchored as it was by four All Americans in Mikey Su'a and Ray Forrester in the front row, Mark Bonham in the second row, and captain Ryan Roundy at No. 8, didn't let them get much started. Still in their own half, BYU stole the put-in from the scrum – or rather, they steamrolled over the CWU pack – and from there spun the ball simply to wing Malosi Te'o, and he did the rest, going 50 meters for the try. That was a demoralizing start for CWU, and they spent the rest of the half trying to contain the hard-charging BYU backs, orchestrated well by flyhalf Dylan Lubbe. Central made BYU work for it, but the Cougars were up to the challenge. Ten minutes it a lineout-and-drive was carried on by prop Mikey Su'a, and then finished by flanker Kumi Tua'one. That made it 12-0, and just as quickly it was 19-0, as the BYU backs made the initial break, and prop Ray Forrester finished it off, taking the pass at pace and crashing over the line. BYU seemed to have another try, but Forrester was called for obstruction after he dished to Smith. No matter, as the Cougars kept the pressure up. Central was winning the lineouts, led by lock Sean Wanigasekera. But BYU had the measure of the scrums, and then sum, and their counter-rucking was such that Central rarely got more than two phases to create anything. Lock TJ Allred went over from short rang, and then Roundy had an easy try, as his pack shoved the scrum over the tryline and all he had to do was tap the ball on the line. That made it 33-0, and center Hoseki Kofe, who was distributing well and breaking tackles superbly, thundered over to make it 40-0. And with the half winding down, Lubbe scampered in under the posts. That made it 47-0 at halftime. Both teams made some changes at halftime. CWU had held out two of their more well-known players, Patrick Blair and Tim Stanfill. Head Coach Bob Ford had hoped to rest those two, but was forced to use them. One he couldn't use was regular flyhalf Bijan Ghambari, who was out sick. BYU put the pressure on early in the second half, but a turnover at the ruck deep in the CWU end gave Stanfill a chance to do something. The 7s All American swooped onto the ball and set off from 90 meters out, fending off a couple of tackles and outpacing others to score for Central. That was their only scoring, however. BYU struggled with some continuity and timing, and saw one try dropped at the line. But Roundy and Su'a, especially were effective taking the ball up, and Kofe ran in two more tries, while flanker Hynie Leaaetoa was a constant danger and deserved the try he scored. Su'a and David Williams capped off the tries for BYU. Central could not get much more going, and often resorted to the kick. That could have helped them if they had kicked more to space; however too often those kicks ended up in the hands of a speedy, confident BYU player. "It felt good; we started pretty well," said BYU flyhalf Lubbe. "In the second half out structure fell down a little bit. We had some new guys and we struggled with combinations." Lubbe had plenty of go-forward ball as the BYU pack was superb, poaching ball, playing defense, move the ball down the field, and winning scrums. "It's incredible with such a strong pack giving you great ball," he said. "I felt really good about the field half; the second half we lost our focus a little bit," added BYU Head Coach David Smyth. "Timing and becoming familiar with each other in pressure situations. We saw some good stuff and some stuff to work on." As for CWU, it was a rough game, but one with a couple of positives. "We got some young guys getting some experience and you can't find a bigger measuring stick than BYU," said Head Coach Bob Ford. "We had some opportunities that we didn't finish, and we've got to build on those opportunities. But the video won't lie, and it will show where we were deficient." BYU 76 CWU |

- Awesome Review by Baby Bulls
Rating Is this worth the money.....Hell Yes. This is the Best indoor hoop I have Ever bought, and I have bought a Ton over the years. If you have kids that enjoy basketball this is worth the money. I am an adult ( although my wife begs to differ) and I LOVE shooting hoops on this thing. Hours of fun, and my kids love it too! Pull the trigger, you won't be disapointed.
(Posted on 2/3/13)
- Great Product, Fast Shipping Review by Jen
Rating Product is exactly what I wanted for my 7 year old son. We hung it in the basement and it is extremely sturdy. We had purchased another hoop and with the play of 7 year old boys, was destroyed in less than a week. He loves it and I am confident it will last awhile. Great company, shipped the hoop the next day and I got it 2 days later even during the busy season!
(Posted on 1/8/13)
- Great product, excellent service Review by Momo4
Rating Bought the 2.0 for my five-year-old son for Christmas. Mounted it in our basement (have 9-foot ceilings) and have enjoyed watching him play against his older sisters and dad. Looking forward to hours of entertainment, especially given our current negative outdoor temps.
(Posted on 1/4/13)
- Great Product & Service Review by C.Crumpler
Rating Just in Tyme Sports made getting this gift for my son easy. It came just as described and was easy to install. My son has enjoyed this inside Basketball goal very much.
(Posted on 12/31/12)
- AWESOME Review by Dad of 3 Boys
Rating This product is everything it should be. Very heavy duty. Perfect in every way. Well worth the cost. Thanks for manufacturing this great hoop.
(Posted on 12/27/12)
- Good Quality Review by wheels
Rating I received this goal yesterday and assembled it. The construction is very sturdy and high quality. I am 26 years old and put this in the office of my house to just shoot around on and its perfect. A little pricey, but well worth the cost. Make sure that when you buy this you screw it into a stud in your wall and have a higher power drill to help you put the bolts in the wall. I can see how this would be great for kids, but if you want something decent hanging on your wall in your office then don't go cheap, just get this. (Original 7/17/12)

- Excellent Indoor Hoop Set Review by Mom of four
Rating This was a gift for my sons birthday, because we just bought a house and had this huge room with nothing to put in it so the boys decided to make it a basketball room and it is perfect, my sons are 9 and 11 and it is perfect for them and their friends, even our daughter play it, ages 5 and 3 I am sure we will be buying another soon for the other end of the room :)
super fast delivery, very happy with how it was packaged, and overall great experience! (Original 5/17/12)(Posted on 9/24/12)
- Kids Love It! Review by Hayden the Slammer
Rating Great product! I put this up in my 12 year old's bedroom. Easy to put up and rock solid - as long as you attach the unit to a stud. Both my 10 and 12 year old jump from the bed and make slam dunks which is really hard on the rim and backboard support but the unit is still attached firmly to the wall.I previously purchased a similar basketball hoop from[@] for more money. The Mini Pro 2.0 from JustInTymeSports is significantly better looking and just as sturdy. (Original 4/9/12)
(Posted on 9/24/12)
- Very satisfied Review by CB
Rating Exactly what I thought I was buying. Very satisfied. (Original 4/9/12)
(Posted on 9/24/12)

We Did It!
Thank you for helping us reach our goal of raising an additional $150,000 to support learning and play at The Children's Museum of Atlanta!
The Wilbur and Hilda Glenn Family Foundation graciously issued a significant challenge to our community. From July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012, all first time individual donations to the Museum were matched dollar for dollar up to $75,000. Gifts made by past donors who had not made a gift since 2009 were also eligible for this match.
Thanks to the tremendous support from individuals like you, we raised vital funds to support exhibits, programs, and outreach to children, families and school groups in our community. Thank you for helping us reach our goal which allows the Museum to continue its mission. This mission to spark imagination and inspire discovery and learning for all children through the power of play is vital to our community!

China's leadership should publicly and unambiguously condemn chengguan assaults on and illegal detention of suspected administrative law violators, emphasizing that such malfeasance is illegal and announcing new measures to ensure rigorous investigation and, where appropriate, prosecution of chengguan officers believed responsible for such acts. The leadership should also establish an independent commission which includes representatives of the Public Security Bureau, the Chinese Communist Party's Political Legal Committee, and academics and lawyers familiar with problems in the regulation and operations of chengguan to assess chengguan performance and suggest further reforms.
China's detention policies and police activity have long been criticized. In March China's National People's Congress (NPC) passed a law [JURIST report] allowing police to detain certain suspects for up to six months in secret detention facilities commonly known as "black jails." In January Chinese authorities sentenced prominent rights activist Li Tie [JURIST report] to 10 years in prison for subversion, marking the third such sentence in a month. In July 2010 the Chinese Ministry of Public Security issued an order directing the country's police forces to stop publicly shaming suspects and prisoners after officers in the southern city of Dongguan paraded roped and handcuffed suspected prostitutes down a city street and posted pictures of the event on the internet. Earlier that month, Amnesty International [advocacy website] urged [JURIST report] the Chinese government to launch an independent investigation into law enforcement conduct during the July 2009 Xinjiang riots [JURIST news archive], accusing police of executing arbitrary arrests and employing excessive force.

Manatee School Board to hold special audit meeting Thursday
Date: February 19, 2013
by: Josh Siegel | Staff writer
The Manatee County School Board will hold a special meeting Thursday to allow the public, the school board and its audit committee members to ask questions to Navigant and Trenam Kemper officials concerning the recent release of a forensic audit of the school district's finances.
The 5:45 p.m. meeting will be held in the Manatee County Commission Chambers located on the first floor of the Manatee County Administrative Building at 1112 Manatee Avenue West.
Navigant employees expalned their 200-page-plus audit report, an investigation into the district's $3.4 million deficit in 2011-12, to the public for the first time at a Jan. 14 workshop.
That report blamed former Assistant Superintendent Jim Drake and flawed processes for many of the accounting errors that led to the budget shortfall.
Former superintendent Tim McGonegal, who resigned in September, was hands-off with budget, handing off most of the responsibility to Drake, the report said.
On Feb. 1, the district posted more than 16,000 pages of supporting documents related to the report on its website.
The Thursday meetibng will be broadcast live via Manatee Government Access (MGA) which can be seen locally on Bright House channel 622, Verizon channel 30 and Comcast channel 20. A live stream can also be seen at www.mymanatee.org/mga.
While questions will be taken from the audience at the meeting, the public can submit questions in advance by going to the school district's website at www.manateeschools.net.
Look under "Hot Topics" and click on the email link to: email@example.com.
Submit your email, and it will be forwarded to school board members prior to the meeting.
The meeting comes a day after the district will choose its new superintendent.

Search for native plants by scientific name, common name or family. If you are not sure what you are looking for, try the Combination Search or our Recommended Species lists.
This is a large, showy lily, 3-8 ft. tall, which bears flat, mostly whorled, lance-shaped leaves and is crowned with up to 20 pendulous, flowers. From 1 to several nodding flowers, each on a long stalk and ranging in color from yellow to orange-red with dark spots, are at the top of a stem that also bears whorled leaves. The slightly recurved lilies are yellow on the outside, reddish orange with dark spots on the inside.
As many as 16-20 of these beautiful, stalked, nodding flowers may be borne on one plant, either rising from the axils of leafy bracts or in a group at the end of the flowering stalk. The flower buds and roots were gathered and eaten by Indians. A similar Midwestern species, Michigan Lily (L. michiganense), has sepals and petals which curve backward until they touch the flower tube.

59.82 History
1995 a. 201
1997 a. 79
Expressways and mass transit facilities in populous counties.
In this section, unless the context indicates otherwise:
"Board" means the county board of supervisors in any county with a population of 500,000 or more.
"Expressway" means a divided arterial highway for through traffic with full or partial control of access and, generally, with grade separations at intersections.
"Full control of access" means that the authority to control access is exercised to give preference to through traffic by providing access connections with selected public roads only and by prohibiting crossings at grade or direct private driveway connections.
"Expressway project" means an integral portion of the expressway that may be put to public use independently of other expressway projects.
"Expressway project budget" means the plan of financial operation embodying an estimate of proposed expenditures for an expressway project and the proposed means of financing them.
"Mass transit" includes, without limitation because of enumeration, exclusive or preferential bus lanes if those lanes are limited to abandoned railroad rights-of-way or existing expressways constructed before May 17, 1978, highway control devices, bus passenger loading areas and terminal facilities, including shelters, and fringe and corridor parking facilities to serve bus and other public mass transportation passengers, together with the acquisition, construction, reconstruction and maintenance of lands and facilities for the development, improvement and use of public mass transportation systems for the transportation of passengers.
"Partial control of access" means that the authority to control access is exercised to give preference to through traffic to a degree that, in addition to access connections with selected public roads, there may be some crossings at grade and some private driveway connections.
"Prior expressway project expenditures" means obligations incurred and expenditures financed from funds obtained from local tax levy sources, or from the proceeds of the sale of bonds, by a municipality in the county for the acquisition and clearing of the right-of-way and construction of expressway projects which are incomplete and have not been substantially put to public use at the time the county expressway commission was created and the transfer of the function to the commission was effectuated under s.
, 1977 stats., together with any funds so financed in the state treasury under control of the department of transportation to the credit of an expressway project, any funds which the municipality, subsequent to the creation of the county expressway commission under s.
, 1977 stats., and prior to May 17, 1980, transmitted to the department of transportation for credit to an expressway project that is authorized by the county expressway commission and any funds which the municipality may, subsequent to May 17, 1980, transmit to the department of transportation for credit to an expressway project authorized by the board.
Powers and duties.
The board is charged with the duty and vested with all powers necessary to plan, acquire the right-of-way for and construct an expressway system and mass transit facilities in the county and to administer each expressway and mass transit project until it is certified as completed; to coordinate planning of expressways and mass transit facilities by other public agencies to the extent required to ensure that an acceptable general plan of expressways and mass transit facilities to serve the entire county will be achieved; to determine whether full control of access or partial control of access shall be exercised; to cooperate with public and private agencies in mass transit and expressway applications; including, without limitation because of enumeration, the power to contract and the following powers and duties:
Plans for expressways.
The board shall consider and tentatively adopt a general plan of expressways to serve the entire county. The plan shall be presented to the governing body of each municipality through which a part of the expressway system is routed for its consideration and approval. The board may by formal action modify the general plan to meet objections raised by the governing body of any municipality through which a route of the expressway passes. If the approval of the governing body is not granted within 60 days from the date of submission, the board shall present the general plan to the department of transportation, which shall hold a public hearing on that part of the plan which is located in such municipality. After the hearing, the department of transportation shall make recommendations to the board with reference to the matters objected to by the municipal governing body. Thereafter the board shall incorporate the recommendations in its general plan. When the approval of the necessary local governing bodies has been obtained or the recommendation of the department of transportation has been obtained in lieu thereof, the general plan shall be finally adopted by the board. Thereafter, the board may amend the general plan as it considers proper.
Procedure upon adoption of plan.
The board shall adopt tentative expressway project budgets for the units of the comprehensive plan adopted under
and in order of construction as the board considers proper. Each budget shall give reasonably detailed estimates of expenditures required to complete the expressway project and shall also give an estimate of the state and federal aid which will become available for the project. The board shall determine the amount of the county's share of the cost of the project and the financing thereof, either from the authorization of county expressway bonds under
, or by determining the amounts to be included in the budgets during the construction years, or by transfer from unappropriated surplus under
59.60 (5)
, or by any combination of the foregoing. When the board determines that county funds for an expressway project shall be financed in whole or in part from current budgets, the county auditor shall include such amounts in the proper proposed budget under
59.60 (5)
. The board shall adopt expressway project budgets with such changes as it considers proper. When adopted, the county contribution to the expressway project shall constitute a legal appropriation and shall be expendable to the extent that expressway bonds have been authorized or money otherwise provided. The board may amend any expressway project budget and may transfer appropriations from one expressway project to another.
Acceptance of gifts.
The board may accept grants, conveyances and devises of land, improvements thereon and all interests whatsoever therein and bequests and donations of money to be used for expressway purposes.
Acquisition of lands and interests therein.
The board may acquire in the name of the county or in the name of the state when so directed by the department of transportation, by donation, purchase, condemnation or otherwise, such lands, including any improvements on the lands, and any interests, easements, franchises, rights and privileges in or pertaining to lands, of whatever nature and by whomsoever owned, as the board considers necessary and required for expressway purposes, and to dispose of such lands. The board may use expressway lands for the location or relocation of any facility for mass transportation, including private or public utilities. The board may purchase or accept donation of remnants of tracts or parcels of land remaining at the time or after it has acquired by condemnation or after or coincident with its acquisition by purchase or donation portions of such tracts or parcels for expressway purposes where in the judgment of the board such action would assist in rendering just compensation to a landowner, a part of whose lands are required for expressway purposes, and would serve to minimize the overall cost of such necessary taking by the public. The county may dispose of such remnants. No lands or interest in lands that are acquired as provided in this paragraph shall be disposed of by the county without the consent of the board, and all money that is received for any such lands, improvements or interests in land, so disposed of, shall be credited to the land acquisition account as an abatement of expense. No lands acquired by the board, as provided in this subsection, in the name of or in trust for the state, shall be disposed of by the county without prior approval of the state, and the proceeds of the sale shall be remitted to the state or retained and used for expressway purposes when so directed by the department of transportation.
After the general plan of expressways has been adopted, the board may, for specific approved highway projects or otherwise, acquire lands and interests therein of the nature and in the manner specified in this paragraph for the right-of-way of the expressways in advance of the time of the adoption of an expressway project budget including the lands and interests. Such power may be exercised when in the judgment of the board the public interest will be served and economy effected by forestalling development of the lands which will entail greater acquisition costs if acquired
at a later date. Upon such acquisition the board may improve, use, maintain or lease the lands until the same are required for expressway construction. It is recognized that there may necessarily be a period of time between the acquisition of needed lands for right-of-way and the commencement of actual site clearance and construction, but such fact shall not minimize the public purpose of the acquisition. The owners of the lands at the time of the acquisition shall have the first right to enter into leases thereof with the county until the lands are needed for expressway construction. Lands so leased for more than one year shall be subject to general property taxation during the term of the lease. All rentals shall be credited to the project or to the expressway land acquisition account. The board may provide out of funds acquired by bond issue or otherwise a land acquisition fund not in excess of $5,000,000 of expendable funds at any one time, to be used primarily for the acquisition of lands, improvements thereon and interests therein as specified in this subsection prior to the approval of the specific expressway project for which the lands or interests will be required. The fund shall be adjusted to reflect acquisition costs for lands and interests therein thereafter incorporated in specific approved expressway projects by transferring both the appropriations and the acquisition costs therefor to the proper expressway improvement expenditures account.
When an expressways project for which lands, improvements thereon and all interests therein have been paid for from any expressway land acquisition fund or account becomes activated by the board, the department of transportation may reimburse the expressway land acquisition fund by allocation of funds which may be made available under any state or federal statute to reimburse prior disbursements from the land acquisition fund to acquire the lands, improvements thereon or interests therein or appurtenant thereto. All state or federal funds thus received shall be used for expressway purposes.
The board, in acquiring lands, improvements on lands and interests in lands and appurtenant to lands, as provided in this subsection, may acquire the lands in fee simple or by easement for highway purposes as it may by order determine. In any such acquisition, the board may, and shall when requested by the department of transportation, act in the name of the state as the agent of the department of transportation and in other cases shall act in the name of the county. The board in making the acquisition may proceed under
Whenever, before actual expressway project construction, a saving is shown to be probable in the cost of constructing a proposed new municipal or privately owned public utility, which, if presently installed in a public way in a proposed normal manner, would ultimately be interfered with by expressway construction, by initially constructing the municipal or privately owned public utility in other than a normal manner to accommodate future expressway construction, in order to effect savings by avoiding reconstruction and relocating at a later date, the board may contract with the municipal government or utility company involved for the construction of the public utility in other than normal manner and to pay to the municipal government or utility company the portion of the cost of the special construction in excess of the cost if constructed in the proposed normal manner, the funds for which may be taken from the land acquisition fund authorized in
When the board has acquired title to lands in fee either for the county or the state, the county or a person authorized by the county may use and develop any portion of the lands not directly needed for expressway-roadway purposes and which do not interfere with the primary expressway purpose, and without limitation because of enumeration may use the subsoil beneath the ground, the ground level area or air space above the ground, for parking, storage or building purposes subject to municipal land use zoning regulations except as to parking, but if the expressway right-of-way area is either on the federal interstate system or on a state trunk highway, the county shall obtain the consent of the department of transportation to the development and use prior to construction or initiation of that use. The state shall receive a share of the rentals or sale price derived from the use in the proportion that the amount of federal or state funds used in the purchase of the site bears to the total cost of the land and improvement which is the subject of the sale or rental. Such sharing shall not be made until the county or the person authorized by the county has been reimbursed for all sums expended by it, in the developments referred to in this paragraph, and such sharing shall terminate when the fair proportion of the federal and state funds allocable to the purchase of the area so developed has been reimbursed. In lieu of sharing in the proportion of the amount of federal or state funds used in the purchase of the site to the total cost of the land and improvement which is the subject of the sale or rental, the state and the county or the person authorized by the county may share the rentals or sale price on the basis of a different formula for such sharing if the department of transportation and the county agree to a different formula.
Before the county authorizes any person to use or develop lands under
, the county shall make a reasonable effort to determine whether any institution of higher education in the vicinity of the lands has demonstrated to the county an interest in the use or development of the lands. The county shall give preference to proposals for the use or development of lands under
which are submitted by an institution of higher education in the vicinity of those lands and which provide for reasonable payment to the county under a lease of or other authority to use or develop those lands.
The board may construct and administer projects under its jurisdiction, and may contract in the name of the county with the department of transportation as may be necessary under state and federal statutes to secure state and federal aid on expressway projects.
Vacation, relocation, reconstruction of streets, alleys, etc.
Whenever the board determines that it is necessary for the proper construction of an expressway project that streets or alleys be vacated in whole or in part, or be dead-ended at the expressway right-of-way line; that existing streets or alleys be relocated; that new streets or alleys be laid out and opened; that accessory streets or ramps to serve as approaches to the expressway be constructed; that existing streets leading to or from expressway ramps be designated as one-way streets for such reasonable distance as is necessary for the proper operation of the facility; that the grade of existing streets be changed or that the traveled portion of existing streets be widened and improved so as to facilitate entrance to the expressway, it shall formulate a tentative order evidencing such requirement and file a certified copy thereof with the municipal clerk of each municipality affected by the tentative order for consideration thereof by the governing body of the municipality.
The governing body or the committee which the governing body designates shall hold a public hearing to consider the tentative order and shall publish in the county a class 2 notice, under
, of the hearing.
If the tentative order is not approved within 90 days from the date of the filing, the board shall present the tentative order to the department of transportation, which shall hold a public hearing on the order, of which hearing the municipality in question shall be given notice. The department of transportation shall have jurisdiction to pass upon the necessity and reasonableness of the proposed tentative order, and it may approve, modify and approve or disapprove the order. The department's decision shall be final, with no review allowed under
If the tentative order is approved by the governing body of the municipality affected, or if it is approved or modified and approved by the department of transportation, the board may thereafter issue a final order identical with the original tentative order as modified by the department's decision. A certified copy of the final order shall be filed with the municipal clerk of the municipality affected. Notice of the making of the order shall be published in the county as a class 1 notice, under
The governing body of the municipality shall, within 30 days after filing, take the necessary action to comply with the order and in so doing shall not be limited by the objections of an abutting owner, and
66.1005 (2)
shall not be applicable to any vacation or discontinuance required by the order, and any such municipality may act upon the initiative of its governing body without the necessity of obtaining the consent of an abutting owner, notwithstanding
66.1005 (2)
and any other provisions of law to the contrary.
If the municipality does not comply with the order within a reasonable time, the board may perform the work required by the order with its own forces or by contract and in so doing and for such purpose shall have the same powers and freedom from limitations as are vested by
and this subsection in the governing body of the municipality.
The plans, specifications, proposed contracts and the appraisal of damages, if any, caused to abutting owners by compliance with the order shall be subject to approval by the board before the commencement of any work under the order but the requirement for approval of the order shall not affect the abutting property owners' rights of appeal from the determination of damages by the commissioner of public works of the city or by any other authorized person or body.
The cost of performing such work as may be required by any order of the board under this subsection, including damages granted for changes of legally established grade or necessary acquisition of lands, shall be paid by the county from expressway funds as an item of the particular expressway project budget upon presentation of vouchers which have been approved for payment by the governing body of the municipality and the board. If the payment made by the county has been increased by reason of the municipality requesting an expenditure in excess of replacement or termination costs, the municipality shall reimburse the county for the excess cost. The reimbursement shall be credited by the county to abatement of the respective expense for which it was received.
Relocation of municipal utilities.
The board, subject to approval by the public service commission after public hearing to all interested parties in cases in which the public service commission would have jurisdiction, may by order require any municipality through which an expressway project is to be constructed to remove, relocate and replace in kind or with equal facilities, or if the municipality shall request enlarged facilities, any sewer, street lighting or other like utility service the location of which interferes with construction of an expressway project. If enlarged facilities are requested the municipality shall bear that part of the cost of the improvement which exceeds the cost of the replacement of the existing facility in kind or with equal materials or facilities. However the board shall bear the excess cost where the installation of the enlarged facility is caused by designed construction and use of the expressway. A certified copy of the order shall be filed with the municipal clerk of each municipality affected and upon the filing each municipality shall within 30 days take the necessary action to comply with the order. All plans, specifications and contracts for any of the work shall be subject to approval by the board. When the work under specific contracts has been completed and approved by the governing body of the municipality and the board, the county shall pay for the work from expressway funds as an item of the particular expressway project budget. If the payments made by the county exceed the replacement costs and the additional cost was incurred at the specific request of the municipality, the municipality shall reimburse the county therefor. The reimbursement shall be credited by the county as an abatement of the expenses for which the reimbursement is received. If considered feasible and desirable by the board any work provided for in this paragraph may be performed by the board or directly by contract. In such cases the municipality in which the work is performed shall cooperate with the board.
With respect to any water utility of any municipality which utility, in addition to providing water for human consumption, performs governmental functions in the way of providing water for fire protection, sewerage operation, street sanitation, park bathing pools and the like, the board shall have the same powers and be subject to the same obligations as are provided in
However, water storage tanks, water pumping stations and water reservoirs may be removed, relocated and replaced by the board only with the consent and approval of the municipality owning and operating the facilities.
Private occupancy of streets; relocation.
All persons other than those mentioned in
lawfully having buildings, structures, works, conduits, mains, pipes, wires, poles, tracks or any other physical facilities in, over or under the public lands, streets, highways, alleys, parks or parkways of the county, or of any municipality therein, which in the opinion of the board in any manner interfere with the construction of an expressway project or the relocation or maintenance of such a project, shall upon order by the board promptly so accommodate, relocate or remove the interfering physical facilities.
Whenever the board proposes to consider adoption of an expressway project, it shall give notice of the proposal to each privately owned public utility or other person affected by the project indicating in the notice the action which it desires the utility or person to take, and the utility or person shall within 90 days after receipt of the notice furnish to the board its plan to comply with the request.
When the utility, under the board's order, proceeds with the work in a manner satisfactory to the board, the county shall pay the utility from expressways funds upon monthly estimates of work performed and submitted for payment by the utility, two-thirds of the net cost incurred by the utility in performing the work, after deducting reasonable and fair credits for items salvaged, for any betterments made at the option of the company and for the value as carried on the utility's books, of the used life of a facility retired from use if the service life of the new facility will extend beyond the expectancy of the one removed. The county shall not be liable to pay any value for utility facilities where use of the facilities has been abandoned for reasons other than the construction or proposed construction of an expressway project even though the installation is intact.
The board and any utility that is required to accommodate, relocate or remove a utility facility described in
may by agreement provide for the respective amounts of the cost to be borne by each so as to resolve a dispute as to the allowance of charges and credits set forth in this paragraph. When the agreement has been concluded, the county shall pay out of expressway funds its share of the cost upon monthly estimates of work performed and submitted for payment by the utility.
If the board and any privately owned public utility are unable to agree as to the division of the costs, either may appeal to the public service commission, which shall determine the proper amounts of reimbursement according to the provisions expressed in this paragraph. Either party may petition the circuit court for review of the public service commission's decision in the manner provided in
. If it is determined upon such review that the county has paid more than two-thirds of the net cost of compliance by a utility with the board's order, any overage shall be reimbursed to the county by the utility.
No appeal shall delay the construction of the expressway project or compliance by the privately owned public utilities with the orders of the board. Compliance shall not prejudice the rights of either the board or the utilities in any pending appeal.
If a person refuses to comply with an order of the board as promulgated under this paragraph, the board may apply to the circuit court for a writ of assistance to compel compliance, and the person shall be liable for all damages caused to the board by the delay.

shall apply.
