Ashwaubenon adopts resolution supporting Brown County purchase of DS300 tabulators; no village financial commitment
Summary
The Village Board approved a resolution expressing support for Brown County’s purchase of new ES&S DS300 election tabulators; the resolution makes no immediate financial commitment by the village.
Trustees voted to approve Resolution R5‑1205 supporting Brown County’s purchase of ES&S DS300 tabulating machines to replace aging DS200 tabulators used since about 2011.
Administrative staff explained the county is seeking uniform tabulation equipment across municipalities so results can be tabulated countywide on election nights. The resolution expresses support for the county’s financing effort but does not obligate the village to fund the purchase.
A motion to approve the resolution carried by voice vote. Staff said that if the county does not fund the replacement, the village may need to consider acquiring compatible equipment later or pursue alternative options; the clerk noted she had suggested hand counting as an option if county support were absent.
The resolution is intended to facilitate countywide tabulation compatibility and reporting systems ahead of future elections.
