The Dane County Executive Committee voted to indefinitely postpone an amendment to chapter 7 and to recommend an amendment to chapter 25 that requires contract modifications be posted at least 24 hours before committee or County Board consideration, with a redline version included.

Supervisor Furman asked that the chapter‑7 amendment be "indefinitely referred, essentially killed," saying the Department of Administration preferred the language to be placed in chapter 25. The committee voted to indefinitely postpone the chapter‑7 amendment. Supervisor Engelberger moved the postponement; the motion carried.

On the chapter‑25 amendment (OA‑17), the committee debated whether to require 24 hours, 48 hours or 72 hours' advance posting. Supervisor Hilsman moved to change the posting requirement from 24 hours to 72 hours to allow time for translation and other accessibility services. The motion to amend to 72 hours failed. Supervisor Posler argued that 24 hours met the transparency purpose while allowing business to proceed; the committee ultimately approved OA‑17 as written, keeping the 24‑hour threshold.

Staff from the County Executive’s office and the Department of Administration advised the committee that moving the chapter‑7 language into chapter 25 reduces confusion because similar language already exists in chapter 25. County staff also warned that a 72‑hour requirement could create timing problems during months when the County Board meets only once, potentially delaying routine contract approvals.

Committee members noted existing related language requiring original contract documents to be uploaded three days prior to standing committee action. Some speakers suggested clarifying whether ‘‘three days’’ refers to calendar days or business days.

The committee record shows: (1) indefinite postponement of the chapter‑7 amendment (moved by Supervisor Engelberger); (2) rejection of a Hilsman amendment to require 72 hours; and (3) recommendation to the County Board of OA‑17 with a 24‑hour posting requirement. The transcript records a motion carries; exact roll‑call counts were not recorded in the committee transcript.
