The Rock County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 9, 2025 approved a consent agenda of routine items and adopted an ordinance change to align county tax‑foreclosure procedures with state law.
The consent agenda — which the board took up and approved by voice vote — included appointments to boards and committees, a contract award for courthouse elevator controls, and acceptance of state grant funds. Items listed by staff included appointments to the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport Board, Housing Authority, Disabled Parking Enforcement Assistance Council, and the Transportation Coordinating Committee. The consent items also included acceptance of Wisconsin Department of Justice grants described as Evidence Based Decision Making (EBDM) pretrial pilot site project funds and Treatment, Alternatives and Diversion (TAD) grant funds (with a 2025 budget amendment), acceptance of a 2024 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant and a 2024 Sheriff’s Office budget amendment, and authorization of funding for household services and laundry services.
Separately, supervisors adopted an ordinance to repeal and recreate Rock County Ordinance 2.202, updating the county’s tax‑foreclosure procedures “by action INREM” to reflect changes required by 2023 Wisconsin Act 207. The motion for that ordinance was moved by Supervisor Mahwini and seconded by Supervisor Schwartz; the board approved it by voice vote after the presenter summarized that the ordinance responds to the statutory changes in Act 207.
All consent‑agenda items were approved as a group; the meeting record shows the chair asked if there were objections and, “Seeing none, consent agenda passes.” No roll‑call tallies or individual recorded votes were recorded in the transcript for these items.
The board also heard citizen participation earlier in the meeting and conducted brief procedural items such as a demonstration of a new wireless voting keypad for supervisors, but no additional substantive policy votes were recorded beyond those summarized here.
