Sauk County LRE committee approves departmental vouchers, accepts Register of Deeds 2025 report and hears bridge update
Summary
The committee approved multiple departmental vouchers totaling about $860,000 across Land Records, Register of Deeds, UW-Extension and Parks & Recreation, accepted the Register of Deeds' 2025 annual report, and heard a WI River Recreation Bridge construction update (time-lapse video shown).
The Land Resources and Extension Committee approved vouchers for multiple departments, accepted a year-end report from the Register of Deeds and heard a progress update on the Wisconsin River Recreation Bridge.
J. Fleischmann presented the Land Records Department report and requested payment of vouchers totaling $7,589.65; the committee approved the payment (motion by McAuliffe / Kinsman). B. Bailey presented the Register of Deeds report, requested approval of vouchers totaling $8,899.50, and presented the Register of Deeds 2025 annual report; the committee approved the vouchers and accepted the 2025 report by unanimous motion (motion by Kinsman / Spencer).
UW-Extension reports were delivered by Danielee Sander (Health & Well Being educator) and J. Gurgel (Sauk Extension highlights); the committee approved UW-Extension vouchers for 2025 ($445.38) and 2026 ($9,273.38), totaling $9,718.76 (motion by Lohr / Polivka).
T. Kabat reported for the Land Resources and Environment Department, provided a construction update on the Wisconsin River Recreation Bridge and shared a time-lapse video. Kabat also presented vouchers that included $4,390.60 for Land Conservation and Planning & Zoning (2026), $769,826.01 for Parks and Recreation (2025), and $65,436.83 for Parks and Recreation (2026); the committee approved the combined vouchers in the amount of $839,653.44 (motion by Kinsman / Eberl).
Why it matters: voucher approvals finalize payment for county operations and capital work, including a substantial Parks and Recreation spend reflected in the vouchers. Acceptance of the Register of Deeds' year-end report provides formal committee acknowledgment of departmental activity for 2025. The bridge time-lapse provides a visual progress update on a local infrastructure project.
