County board approves consent agenda and grant application for West Twin River public access
Summary
Manitowoc County Board approved its consent agenda and unanimously passed Resolution 2024-2025-77 authorizing a grant application for West Twin River public access.
The Manitowoc County Board of Supervisors approved the consent agenda and unanimously passed a resolution authorizing a grant application for public access to the West Twin River during its meeting.
The board approved the consent agenda on a motion by Supervisor Engelbrecht, seconded by Supervisor Niles; the clerk conducted the vote and announced the consent agenda was approved. The consent agenda items were not read into the record individually at the meeting and specific items included in the packet were not specified in the transcript.
Separately, the Park and Planning Commission recommendation led to Resolution 2024-2025-77, authorizing a grant application for a West Twin River public access site and an ADA boat launch and pier. Supervisor Halkowski moved the resolution; Supervisor Zimmer seconded. The resolution passed unanimously; no roll-call tally with individual yes/no votes was recorded in the transcript.
Why it matters: the resolution authorizes pursuit of outside funding for a public-access improvement on the West Twin River that would support recreation and boating access if the grant is awarded. The application is an authorization to apply and does not by itself commit county construction or matching funds.
Meeting record items: the consent agenda motion was made by Supervisor Engelbrecht and seconded by Supervisor Niles; the resolution motion was made by Supervisor Halkowski and seconded by Supervisor Zimmer and recorded as passing unanimously.
