The ordinance, described on the agenda as \"ordinance number 13 60 nine-six 20 25, amending section thirty-thirty 2 of the Walworth County code of ordinances relating to budget development guidelines regarding payroll vacancy savings,\" was recommended by the Finance Committee and approved by the board on a majority vote. A separate resolution opposing elimination of tax-exempt bonds also carried after committee recommendations.

Why it matters: supervisors said the ordinance updates county budgeting procedures; the record shows both items were recommended by committees (Finance Committee 5-0 for the ordinance and Finance/Executive Committee recommendations for the resolution opposing bond elimination). Specific fiscal impacts or numerical changes to vacancy-savings targets were not discussed on the floor during the meeting.

The actions will be reflected in county budget guidance and transmitted as the board’s formal position on federal or state proposals affecting tax-exempt bonds.

The resolution to create the budget and project was recommended by the Executive, Public Works and Finance committees and required a two-thirds vote; the board approved it by unanimous consent after Supervisor Sheila Reif moved for unanimous consent and Supervisor Veil Stanek seconded. \"I move for a unanimous consent on that resolution,\" Reif said; the chair called the vote and the motion carried.

Why it matters: the resolution creates a capital project for Sheriff’s Office software modules from Axon, a vendor that supplies body cameras and associated software. Committee recommendations listed on the agenda show cross-committee support; the board did not discuss purchase price or funding details during the floor motion.

The board did not solicit further comment at the meeting; the resolution will be implemented per Finance Committee direction and reported through normal capital project accounting procedures.

The resolution was advanced by Supervisor Brian Holt and seconded by Supervisor Kenneth Monroe; the motion carried on an affirmative voice vote. The board received brief discussion about how state-level changes to the program could affect county responsibilities and costs.

Why it matters: supervisors said the stewardship program could affect how counties manage parklands and forest property if the state acquires or changes the status of land obtained through the program. Supervisor Brian Holt, who said he had supported the resolution at Finance Committee, asked County Administrator Liberta for guidance on county impacts and urged colleagues to watch developments in Madison. \"I did vote for it in at the finance committee, but and I did ask, Administrator Liberta about concerning how this deals in how this pertains to Walworth County,\" Holt said.

Supervisor Joanne Lauffenberg asked whether the county has a clear estimate of potential costs. \"Does anyone know how much this would cost with state overall? No? Okay,\" she said. The board did not receive a specific dollar estimate during the meeting.

Meeting discussion included a caution—paraphrased from the record—that if the state acquires large forest parcels under stewardship programs, those lands can become state-owned, which can reduce local property tax revenue while leaving counties responsible for some maintenance tasks. The board did not take additional action beyond passing the resolution; committee records cited in the agenda show the Park Committee, Public Works Committee and Finance Committee had recommended the resolution.

The resolution will be filed with the county records; supervisors said they will monitor pending state legislative or administrative actions that could change the stewardship program’s terms.

","The Walworth County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously June 10 to support continuation of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program while several supervisors urged close attention to potential state-level changes and local cost implications.","actionData","errors"]
