The Wood County Board on Wednesday approved several routine resolutions and one ordinance affecting county operations and revenue, including a short-term seat-belt enforcement grant, multiple tax-deed property sales, a request for additional state funding to administer federal food-share programs, and a highway access ordinance amendment.

Resolution 25-10-1 authorized use of unanticipated revenue from the Bureau of Traffic Safety via the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to finance additional state patrol overtime for seat-belt enforcement from Nov. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2025; the fiscal adjustment to the 2025 budget was $4,600.80. The motion was made by Supervisor Boyd and seconded by Supervisor Bry; the transcript records the resolution as passing with the board response read as "18."

Three resolutions regarding tax-deed properties were taken together (25-10-2, 25-10-3 and 25-10-4). The board read fiscal notes that listed net receipts after taxes and fees: one sale yielded a net gain of "$73,659 and several cents," a second listed net proceeds of "$62.77," and a third authorized the sale of tax-deed property back to a former owner with a recorded payment of $2,342.42. The motion for these items was recorded as moved by Buttee and seconded by Roser; the meeting minutes do not include a clear, separate roll-call tally in the transcript for these three resolutions.

Resolution 25-10-5, brought from the Health and Human Services Committee, requested additional state funding to offset federal cuts for county administration of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, locally called FoodShare). A supervisor seconded the motion (Zurfu). The roll call for that resolution was recorded as "19."

The board also approved Ordinance 25-10-6 to amend the county highway access control ordinance (No. 401) to include building setback lines; fiscal notes were not specified. The ordinance motion was seconded by Supervisor Graham and the vote was recorded as "19."

A separate resolution (25-10-7) from the county parks/forest committee authorized a land exchange to add acreage to the Wood Point Course in exchange for land currently enrolled in the county forest program and directed staff to seek Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources approval to remove and add county forest parcels. The fiscal note stated Wood County would receive $9,100 based on appraised land value and would be responsible for closing and recording fees. The transcript records that supervisors voted in favor; the recorded in-meeting tally read as "90," which appears in the record and was not otherwise clarified during the meeting.

On appointments, the board confirmed several committee and commission appointments in a single vote: Ethics Committee (three-year term, Matsuza), Veteran Service Commission (three-year term, Mike Feier), Civil Service Commission (five-year term, Dave Laude) and the South Central Library Board of Trustees (three-year term, Bill Bandetti). The motion was made by Supervisor Lightman and seconded by Zurflu and was approved in the combined vote.

Several of the resolutions and the ordinance were presented with brief fiscal notes read into the record and little deliberation; supervisors asked a small number of clarifying questions on some items before unanimous or near-unanimous voice votes were recorded.
