Kenosha County board approves slate of appointments, activity license and zoning measures
Summary
The Kenosha County Board of Supervisors on June 3 approved a series of appointments to county boards and commissions, an activity control license for Country Thunder, an intergovernmental agreement supporting the First Tee program and two rezoning ordinances; most measures passed unanimously.
The Kenosha County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on a batch of appointments, event approvals and land-use measures during its June 3 meeting, approving nominees to county boards and committees, granting an activity control license for the Country Thunder event and advancing two ordinances related to a property in the town of Paris.
The board approved the appointment of Michael Pasifaro to the Kenosha County Local Emergency Planning Committee, and appointed Sarah Kirby and Andres Grama to the Kenosha County Human Services Board. The board also approved Kenny Harper to the Kenosha-Racine Community Action Agency Board and Jim Baxa and Ronald Kammerzelt to the Local Emergency Planning Committee and Zoning Board of Adjustments, respectively. Those appointments were moved and seconded on the floor and were recorded as passing unanimously at the meeting.
Why it matters: the appointments fill seats on county oversight and advisory bodies that shape emergency planning, human services and local land-use decisions.
