The Marathon County Board of Supervisors on April 22 voted on several discrete measures, approving a county letter of support for Domtar’s effort to pursue funding for the Rothschild Dam modernization project and accepting several internal donations and budget actions.
Letter of support for Domtar and Rothschild Dam modernization: The board moved and carried a resolution authorizing a letter of support for Domtar to pursue funding for the Rothschild Dam modernization program (Resolution 22-25). The meeting record indicates the motion carried “and is not unanimous.” The item drew no extended discussion in the provided transcript.
Forensic science center furniture donation: Supervisors voted to accept furniture donated by NTC and Myron Construction for the regional forensic science center. County staff said forensic center staff reviewed the furniture and found it serviceable; accepting the donation will save the center roughly $50,000. The HR, Finance and Property Committee had approved the donation earlier the same day.
North Courthouse elevator repair expenditures: The board approved expenditures to repair the North Courthouse elevator. County staff clarified this action is not a budget amendment and therefore does not require a two-thirds majority; the project will be funded by moving unused funds from an allocated CIP project to a new CIP project for the elevator repair.
Budget carryforwards and 2024 closeouts: The board approved a resolution covering 2024 budget carryforwards and closeouts (Resolution 27-25) as presented by Human Resources, Finance and Property Committee.
Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda items (C8 through C12A5) by unanimous vote earlier in the meeting.
