Votes at a glance: Sawyer County board approves rezoning, easements, resolutions and appointments
Summary
At its April 21 meeting, the Sawyer County Board approved rezoning case 26-006, an airport utility easement, several resolutions including a deed-language change for Remy Seed Companies, an ATV/UTV contractor settlement, DNR trail-aid application, finance transfers (resolution 1276), and LEPC appointments.
The Sawyer County Board approved a series of routine and substantive items during its April 21 organizational meeting.
Key actions approved by motion or resolution included:
• Rezoning case 26-006 (Town of Round Lake): approved to convert roughly 3.49 acres of a 5.28-acre parcel from Agricultural One to Residential Recreational One to permit different lot splits (zoning committee recommended 5–0).
• Airport utility easement: board approved easements to allow airport utility work and equipment updates.
• Remy Seed Companies deed language removal: board approved a resolution removing restrictive language from a quitclaim deed to allow sale of the parcel; committee and board reviewed public-access concerns and moved the resolution forward.
• ATV/UTV rehab contractor settlement (project under ~ $190,000 contract): after staff reported two UCC liens of approximately $80,000 and an additional contractor invoice of ~$138,000 beyond the contracted amount, the board approved a resolution to pay lien holders as verified by corporate counsel and direct a remaining payment of about $14,000 to Monaco Grading for completed work.
• Outdoor recreational trail-aid resolution: annual resolution approved to apply for DNR motorized trail funding to accompany grant applications.
• Finance transfers and Resolution 1276: the finance committee recommended year-end transfers and designation of general fund balance; resolution 1276 was approved by the board.
• Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) appointments: recommended appointees were approved.
Where roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript, minutes reflect the clerk’s announcement that motions carried. Items with substantive technical or funding implications — notably the contractor settlement and airport easement — will require staff follow-up to complete payment, file-recording, or procurement steps.
