Speaker 4 introduced a resolution to establish a Condemnation Committee and set compensation for members, noting the request was made by the courts. Speaker 4 said the county's files showed the committee had not met for roughly a decade and that county staff drafted a full resolution to clarify pay and membership.

Speaker 4 said the prior draft in county files set pay at $50 per meeting with an additional $15 if meetings ran long; the proposed resolution established pay levels but removed a more nebulous provision tying additional attorney compensation to chair responsibilities, noting the county would likely use court counsel if legal representation were required.

Tom Duffy moved the resolution and Mark Hellwig seconded. The chair called the vote and the resolution passed.

Ending: The resolution establishes the committee and the pay schedule in line with Wisconsin Statute 32.8; staff will retain the adopted language for future use should eminent-domain matters arise.
