Loading...
Summary
On March 16, 2021 the Waupaca County Board repealed Chapters 22 and 24 of the county code, approved a zoning map amendment for a Town of Lind parcel, authorized an MOU to transfer the Merc Building to Clintonville, and appointed a citizen to the Nutrition Advisory Council.
The Waupaca County Board voted on several nonbudgetary and routine items during its March 16, 2021 session.
Ordinance repeals: The Board repealed Chapter 22 of the Waupaca County Code of Ordinances (Smoking Pollution Control) and Chapter 24 (Hazard Communication Program). Both repeals were recommended by the Legislative, Judicial, Ethics, Safety & Security Committee; Supervisor Bosquez moved the Chapter 22 repeal (seconded by Supervisor Will) and moved the Chapter 24 repeal (seconded by Supervisor Zaug). Both motions carried without negative votes as recorded in the minutes.
Zoning amendment: The Board approved Petition Z-005-21 (Kathleen Nickel Revocable Trust) to amend the county zoning map in the Town of Lind, converting approximately two acres from Agriculture Enterprise (AE) to Rural Residential Overlay (RR-O). The Planning & Zoning Committee held a public hearing on March 9 and recommended approval based on consistency with the Town of Lind comprehensive plan; the County Board action to approve the amendment was moved by Supervisor Hardy and seconded by Supervisor Poehlman.
Property transfer MOU: County Treasurer Mark Sether reported on an in-rem filing for the Merc Building in Clintonville and the Finance Committee approved an MOU transferring ownership to the City of Clintonville with agreed terms. The Board authorized the County Board Chair and County Clerk to sign the MOU on a motion by Supervisor Lehrer and seconded by Supervisor P. Craig.
Appointment and announcements: The Board appointed Greta Schroeder as a citizen member of the Nutrition Advisory Council for a three-year term on a motion by Supervisor Lehrer, seconded by Supervisor G. Murphy. Chair Dick R. Koeppen announced that County Mutual is going to be sold; the announcement was recorded with no formal action. The meeting was adjourned at 10:04 a.m.
Why it matters: the ordinance repeals remove two county code chapters and will change the county code as it applies within the county; the zoning amendment affects land use and establishes residential overlay status for the specified parcel; the MOU transfers a county-owned property to the City of Clintonville which shifts ownership responsibilities. The appointment fills a seat on a citizen advisory council.
