Vernon County reallocates Ho-Chunk funds toward Cite Hollow dredging feasibility study

The Land & Water Department reported a discount on camera purchases reduced the originally allocated $16,500 to $8,726.24, leaving $7,773.76 in the Ho-Chunk award fund. Supervisors voted to redirect that balance, combine it with a prior $15,000 award and use nonlapsing department funds to cover the remaining balance so that a contracted feasibility study on dredging Cite Hollow can proceed. The board approved both the reallocation (Resolution 2026-26) and the budget amendment (Resolution 2026-27).
