Public hearings on Waupaca County library plan and 2025 budget draw no public comment
Summary
The Waupaca County Board opened public hearings on the 2025–2029 Library Plan and the proposed 2025 budget/Transportation Services Program 85.21 on Nov. 12, 2024; Chair Morack called three times for comment at each hearing and received none, and both hearings were closed before the board acted.
The Waupaca County Board of Supervisors held two public hearings at its Nov. 12, 2024 meeting: one on the Waupaca County 2025–2029 Library Plan and another on the proposed 2025 budget and Transportation Services Program 85.21. In both cases, Chair Dave Morack opened the hearings and called three times for public input; no members of the public spoke. Each hearing was closed by motion and recorded as having had no public comment.
The board then proceeded to act on the library plan (the board adopted/approved the plan by motion recorded in the proceedings) and continued the regular session following the budget hearing closure. Motions to open and close the hearings were carried by recorded votes of 23-0 in the meeting record.
