Waupaca County Board adopts comprehensive plan amendment, mutual-aid compact and TID termination
Summary
At its April 20, 2022 organizational session the Waupaca County Board unanimously adopted a comprehensive plan map amendment and two zoning ordinance changes, approved the Wisconsin Statewide Mutual Aid Compact, and accepted a one-time payment to terminate TID 1 in the Town of Matteson. Several appointments and committee selections were also finalized.
Waupaca County’s Board of Supervisors adopted multiple land-use and administrative measures during its April 20, 2022 organizational session, including a comprehensive plan map amendment for the Town of Dayton, county zoning changes in Dayton and Lind, adoption of the Wisconsin Statewide Mutual Aid Compact (WiSMAC), and termination of Tax Incremental District 1 in the Town of Matteson.
The board voted 27-0 to adopt Resolution No. 1 (2022-2023), approving PLUM-03-22 to reclassify roughly 3.75 acres in the Town of Dayton from Residential to Commercial to accommodate future plans for a resort establishment and campground. Planning & Zoning recommended the change based on the town’s approval and consistency with local planning goals.
The board also adopted Ordinance 2022-763 (Z-005-2022) formally enacting the Dayton rezoning and Ordinance 2022-764 (Z-006-2022) approving a 7.25-acre rezoning in the Town of Lind from Agriculture and Woodland Transition (AWT) to Rural Commercial-Neighborhood (RC-N). Both zoning amendments were reported passed by unanimous votes (27-0).
On emergency management, the County approved Resolution No. 2 (2022-2023) adopting WiSMAC, a statewide mutual aid compact that defines purposes, term, deployment limits (noted in the compact as 72 hours subject to extension), employment status, compensation rules, insurance minimums (including $1,000,000 minimum commercial liability), and incident command arrangements. The resolution cites statutory authority including Sections 59.03, 59.04, 66.0301, 66.0313, 66.0314 and 323.14 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The board vote was recorded 27-0.
Regarding Tax Incremental District 1 in the Town of Matteson, the County accepted the town’s offer of a one-time lump-sum payment of $11,250 to terminate TID 1. Resolution materials stated the TID’s balance as of Dec. 31, 2021 was $16,667 minus a $247.02 levy, yielding a net balance of $16,420.66; the town’s payment represents about 68.5% of that amount. The board directed Treasurer Mark Sether to complete final audits and accounting with the Wisconsin Department of Revenue. The motion to terminate TID 1 passed 27-0.
