Loading...
Summary
The Kenosha County Board unanimously amended Ordinance 37 to change meeting times effective with the first meeting in May 2026, approved Ordinance 38 (rezoning) on first reading, and referred several communications about grants and a staffing change to relevant committees.
The Kenosha County Board took several formal steps during the session.
Ordinance 37 (second reading), an amendment to Chapter 2.02 concerning the time of County Board meetings, was moved by Vice Chair Gasky and discussed by Supervisor Nudo, who successfully moved an amendment to make the ordinance effective beginning with the first meeting in May 2026. The amendment passed by voice vote and the ordinance was approved unanimously.
Ordinance 38 (first reading), from the Planning, Development and Extension Education Committee, sought rezoning for property associated with B and J Nelson Farms LLC (agent Jane Burgle) in the Town of Paris from A‑1 Agricultural Preservation District to a mix of A‑1 and A‑2. Supervisor Brown said the committee and the Town of Paris supported the change; supervisors questioned acreage and parcel configuration, and proponents said the change ‘‘squares off’’ existing usage. The ordinance passed unanimously.
Communications read into the record included: authorization for the Highway Commissioner to accept and expend $432,000 from the Paris Solar Farm developer for future roadway improvements (referred to Public Works, Facilities and Finance committees); a Kenosha County Sheriff's Office resolution to accept the Sea Dog Drug Trafficking Response Grant (referred to Judiciary and Law Enforcement and Finance); and a Human Services Committee resolution to modify the Division of Behavioral Health Services 2026 budget to create a community reentry support specialist (referred to Human Services and Finance). The March 3, 2026 County Board minutes were approved and the meeting was adjourned.
Votes recorded at the meeting were unanimous on the ordinances and on approving minutes; supervisors present were counted earlier in the meeting as 21 with two excused.
