Temporary shelter contracts: County staff said they have secured contracts with Waukesha to purchase one female and one male shelter bed with the same provider (referenced in materials and the meeting as Norris and McWonago), with the contract expected to be effective Dec. 1.
Property disposition: Staff said the appraisal is complete, the county has engaged Emer Realty to list the property, and the listing was posted on the MLS in the past several days. Staff reported they reached out to nonprofit operators, including Samaritan operators, and other entities that might have interest but had not received inquiries yet.
Next steps: County staff will continue to market the property through the realtor and finalize shelter contracting details.
