Supporters of keeping the rule as written argued that the chair’s discretion is necessary to screen personal attacks and to avoid lengthy readings; opponents said required inclusion would improve transparency and allow citizens unable to attend meetings to have their voices heard.

Supervisor Paler moved to leave board rule 22 unchanged, saying the current practice has worked for years and noting individuals can sign up to speak for three minutes at meetings. Supervisor Dozel and Supervisor McLaughlin argued that limiting correspondence threatens access for residents who cannot attend and that removing correspondence from agendas could silence constituent voices. A public commenter urged that all correspondence be accepted and read.

Several supervisors also pointed to the board rules provision that rules can be suspended by two‑thirds vote or amended by resolution, but they disagreed about whether changes must come through the rules committee. After procedural motions and a vote to end debate, the board voted to keep board rule 22 as written. The final tally recorded in the minutes was 12 in favor, 8 opposed. Several supervisors identified by name opposed the motion in earlier remarks, including Supervisor Posdolski.","After extended discussion, the Adams County Board voted to leave board rule 22 unchanged, preserving the chair’s discretion over whether correspondence appears on agendas; the vote was 12–8.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6273542,"Supervisors press clerk on mental‑health commitments and treatment revenue in annual court reports",85,955000,1040000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2999643-7249e7bdfb5c4c8c8368b41edf65beb2&start=955&end=1040","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2999643-7249e7bdfb5c4c8c8368b41edf65beb2/thumbnail_955000.jpg","/articles/6273542/Adams-County/Wisconsin/Supervisors-press-clerk-on-mentalhealth-commitments-and-treatment-revenue-in-annual-court-reports","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273542-fb7c92bc8d25745ced6f344b8cb642ba/orig.mp4?Expires=1771001337&Signature=JoK1RWEf1cg6xhAzwGjumZc0~hPoB63haO7M57UETqex0qFa39m-DXQAZxwCoxGke5H44qLIxUEqj~d2oIC8D15xxODaTGaPoq0KXLZpHU4AQcw-04uBBBPgK3cxS7eyV8nMUOr8KFSkFLrBr4BnLkDJGc0gK7CqqsEH3nDaQ~oLfOJ05EoajX7OyrGhx36npTdLfDjlDt2LMo9sGjxOZEP8GerQkBkWMszg7XPdZDFRzQpBGRV6yc8u4m5EGrQz4b6MWtuXjSDJcIfj8Ny-cglqfEFCihsJPAvFDcHJokztm5DzpPjHgFHTqDHgU1P5E6rq67XsKJ87r3evamr8lQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the meeting the board reviewed the annual reports submitted by the Clerk of Circuit Court and the Register of Deeds. Supervisors raised questions about apparent gaps in the reports, specifically the absence of counts for certain mental‑health commitments and revenue lines for drug‑and‑alcohol treatment or rehabilitation.

A citizen and supervisors asked whether the reports had omitted mental‑health commitment counts. The clerk, identified in the meeting as Miranda, told the board “they have not been made as of yet” when asked earlier about a different recording change, and later clarified that “these are civil commitments. These are chapter 9 80 commitments, which are different than the other commitments I think that you're referring to.” She said standard commitments that pass through the court system may be recorded differently and suggested that supervisors who want additional items included should make a written request so the clerk can take it to the home committee and, where appropriate, consult the Director of State Courts.

Miranda also said the annual report follows a long‑used template and that some revenues (for treatment or rehabilitation) were not included on the template she provides. She offered to consider additional figures for next year’s report if the board or committee sends written guidance. The clerk additionally noted she reports the number of mental commitments monthly to the Administration and Finance Committee.

Supervisor questions focused on whether the absence of the items in the annual report reflected an omission in county recordkeeping or merely the chosen reporting template. The clerk emphasized the template’s continuity prior to her tenure and recommended formal written requests for any content changes.

The board accepted the reports by voice vote with one recorded nay from Supervisor Posdolski.","During review of the circuit court and register of deeds annual reports, supervisors asked why mental‑health committals and local drug‑and‑alcohol treatment revenue were not visible in the documents; the clerk said the reports follow a longstanding template and suggested written requests for additional items.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6273547,"Regional housing study offers zoning, outreach and site ideas to expand housing options in Adams County",464,1274000,1738000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2999643-7249e7bdfb5c4c8c8368b41edf65beb2&start=1274&end=1738","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2999643-7249e7bdfb5c4c8c8368b41edf65beb2/thumbnail_1274000.jpg","/articles/6273547/Adams-County/Wisconsin/Regional-housing-study-offers-zoning-outreach-and-site-ideas-to-expand-housing-options-in-Adams-County","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273547-1f9ac51cabe19f78485f1db5d79d87b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771001337&Signature=F~vL8agMC6Jw4W0vDZmSo4jV4DwMkkDHvEucA6PKGpH7JOO2SS50BSdpyOJRWceUXP4JhFjOJIsfvJS0l8WbPWpRTpBrYCy~d8jebRkiASG6s~7u7rAIGz2E-AzCbL~ZdEi41p22MsefO8NiYSnU4O8XruLQsaT-z6kM0iFLyUZ5GqGCQXL3i-1j6MCIj~JGnw1pQk59WqmwXrAu2Mbp4I5K4~EH3TEfRsSz61YJx2MdTVZf1D2Ssx0RvGTSe459Oj9-ZiuY7th4v0Zeq7Yih40Pt0deRN6isNTlftq7jZLzVrZyqzc9lp9uxFUaXAP7TK03zGf3~nE0H0FBbmcAbA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sam Wessel, senior planner with the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, presented the commission’s year‑long housing study to the Adams County Board, summarizing demographic trends, a demand projection and a series of nonbinding strategies intended to improve housing affordability and availability in Adams County.

Wessel said the study, posted on ncwrpc.org, uses the standard that housing is affordable when it costs no more than 30% of household income and that it shows uneven population growth concentrated near the county edges. “None of them are policies. They’re just ideas. They’re strategies,” Wessel said, describing the recommendations as optional tools for local leaders.

The study includes an analysis of commute and age patterns, a construction‑cost and cash‑flow analysis showing where development budgets fall short in rural markets, and model amendments to comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances that would allow smaller lot sizes and housing forms similar to the county’s pre‑World War II patterns. Wessel also described site plans for vacant, publicly owned parcels near utilities that could be marketed for residential development.

Wessel said the study identifies both short‑term “low‑hanging fruit” actions — developer outreach, educational events for lenders and first‑time buyers, and a housing committee to monitor progress — and longer‑term options that need more coordination and capital. He recommended developer tours, citing a Juneau County example that brought developers to identified sites, and highlighted new lower‑interest loan programs for developers that require up‑to‑date comprehensive plans and zoning.

Supervisors asked about local contractor and material shortages and about programs to train small‑scale local builders. Supervisor Pasoski raised supply and contractor availability as a barrier to increasing local housing stock; Wessel said the study documents those local constraints and lists training and small‑developer programs that could help expand the local construction workforce.

The presentation concluded with Wessel offering paper copies to the county economic development contact and noting the full report and resources are available on the NCWRPC website.","A North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission study presented to the Adams County Board summarized housing demand, barriers to rural development and a menu of zoning and program options aimed at increasing affordable housing supply.","actionData","errors"]
