The Winnebago County Personnel & Finance Committee recorded the following formal actions on Jan. 8, 2026:
- Adopt agenda — Motion passed 5‑0 (procedural). - Approve minutes (Dec. 4, 2025) — Motion passed 5‑0. - Contingency fund approach for post‑judgment property sale losses — Committee agreed on handling formula; staff to bring formal policy; consensus recorded 5‑0. - Budget amendment: accept Wisconsin Partnership Program grant (first year $158,913 of a 3‑year $500,000 program) — Motion to forward to county board passed 3‑2. Board of Health had previously approved the grant 5‑0. - EPA Brownfields Cleanup Grant application (American Fiber site, 204 Railroad St., Menasha; request up to $4,000,000) — Resolution to apply and accept if awarded passed 5‑0; application due Jan. 28. - State/local cybersecurity grant — Authorized application and acceptance of up to $100,000; motion passed 5‑0. - CONNECT program realignment (move from Department of Human Services to District Attorney) — Motion approved (committee indicated approval; mechanics and HR/IT work ongoing; net fiscal impact reported as zero). - Honoring retired employees — Approved (5‑0). - Deny notice of claim of Charles Rowland (vehicle damage alleged from county snow plow) — Motion to deny claim passed.
Several resolutions were amended for consistent phrasing (staff said they will standardize titles to read "application and acceptance" so successful awards need not return for a separate acceptance vote). Staff noted multiple items require follow up: final Opportunity Fund usage policy, EPA application submission, and grant reporting if awards occur.
