This month’s meeting started with a presentation from Dr. Brian Kaskie from the University of Iowa. He gave us a presentation on the Sauk County Older Adults Needs Assessment.
The following appointments were made.
Supervisor Val McAuliffe to the Aging and Disability Resource Center Committee. Judy Ellington, Laurie Grille, and Tut Grambling were all reappointments as citizen members to the Aging and Disability Resource Center Committee.
Billy Laird, Starra Kosak, and Jacquelynn Harris as citizen members to the Families Come First/Comprehensive Community Services Coordinating Committee.
And Linda Kettner as citizen member to the Sauk County Library Board.
It is also worth noting that Supervisor Nathan Johnson resigned from the board because he moved out of his district.
The board voted 18-9 to pass a resolution to adopt the Sauk County Older Adults Needs Assessment.
The board voted 27-0 to approve Wisconsin County Mutual Insurance Company as insurer for liability, property, and workers’ compensation for Sauk County.
The board voted 25-1 with 1 abstention to award a contract for the building of the White Mound County Park Maintenance Building. The building will be built by Friede & Associates LLC. The total amount is $1,683,016. This will come from fund balances and reprogramming from remaining funding from the Delton Dam improvement project. If you ever wanted to see two grown men argue over the cost per square foot of a garage, this was the meeting. But since you are reading this, you missed it.
The board voted 27-0 to approve the changes to the Rural Functional Classification System in Sauk County. Functional classification is the method by which roads and streets are categorized based on the levels of mobility and access they provide. Moving on.
The board voted 27-0 to deed excess right of way from County Trunk Highway A and County Trunk Highway T intersection reconfiguration project to adjacent property owner.
The board voted 25-0 with 2 abstentions to authorize reimbursement for attendance at the Wisconsin County Highway Association in January of 2026.
