Summary
At its April 20, 2021 session the Waupaca County Board passed multiple zoning map amendments, accepted a $20,000 donation for the county nutrition program, designated Work Zone Safety Awareness Week, repealed the county public assistance fraud ordinance and made two appointments; all motions carried without a negative vote.
The Waupaca County Board of Supervisors convened April 20, 2021 and approved a package of routine and planning items, including several zoning map amendments, a donation for the county nutrition program and a declaration of Work Zone Safety Awareness Week.
Key votes and outcomes: Resolution No. 1 (PLUM-001-21) adopted a comprehensive plan amendment to change approximately eight acres in the Town of Farmington from Agriculture to Commercial and remove the parcel from Farmland Preservation. Resolution No. 2 accepted a $20,000 donation from the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region to support the Waupaca County Nutrition Program; the funds will be held in a donation-restricted account until budget action authorizes expenditure. Resolution No. 3 designated April 26–30, 2021 as Work Zone Safety Awareness Week in Waupaca County, citing statewide crash statistics and endorsing the Wisconsin County Highway Association campaign. The board also repealed Chapter 17 of the county code (Public Assistance Fraud Ordinance).
The board approved four zoning petitions recommended by the Planning & Zoning Committee after public hearings: Z-006-21 (Town of Farmington, BC Q Pit LLC; AWT to RC-G, ~8 acres), Z-007-21 (Town of Helvetia, RR to AWT, ~14.38 acres), Z-008-21 (Town of Lebanon, AR to RR-O, ~2.5 acres), and Z-009-21 (Town of Scandinavia, PVRF to RR-O, ~2.0 acres). The Planning & Zoning Committee and affected towns signaled approval or consistency with each town comprehensive plan where noted in the petition records.
The board also re-appointed Judi Olson to the Health and Human Services Board for a three-year term and James Goeser to the Veterans Service Commission (term ending November 2023). All listed motions were recorded as "motion carried without a negative vote"; the meeting record does not provide detailed roll-call tallies.
Chair Koeppen declared the meeting adjourned at 11:01 a.m.
