Summary
The Chippewa County Board unanimously approved Resolution 36‑25 to set the 2025 tax levy (to be collected in 2026); staff said county fund balances, not the levy, constitute the principal operating cushion.
The Chippewa County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve Resolution 36‑25, setting the county’s 2025 tax levy to be collected in 2026.
County staff read the resolution language and a schedule of amounts included in the meeting packet, and cited Wisconsin Statute 59.18 as the authority authorizing the county administrator to coordinate administrative and management functions tied to the approved budget. During discussion a supervisor asked whether the levy provides enough of a cushion should revenues fall short; county staff said the primary cushion is the county’s fund balances and reserves, which the county would draw on to smooth shortfalls.
The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution without roll‑call dissent.
