Dunn County board elects Randy Prochnau chair and Gary Steen vice chair during organizational meeting
Summary
At the Dunn County Board of Supervisors organizational meeting, members unanimously installed Randy Prochnau as chair and elected Gary Steen vice chair (18–8 with one 'present' ballot). The board also approved committee appointments required by statute.
Randy Prochnau was selected as chair of the Dunn County Board of Supervisors and Gary Steen was elected vice chair at the board's organizational meeting.
The county clerk opened nominations for chair and said a pre-submitted nomination had been received for Randy Prochnau. With no further nominations from the floor, a motion was made to close nominations and cast a unanimous ballot for Prochnau; members responded in the affirmative and the clerk declared Prochnau chair.
Nominations for vice chair produced two candidates: Supervisor Gary Steen and Supervisor Larry Bork. The clerk collected 27 ballots and read them aloud. After tallying, the clerk announced 18 votes for Gary Steen, eight for Larry Bork and one ballot recorded as "present," making Steen the new vice chair.
The board then moved on to ratify appointments that require full board approval. The clerk explained that, per Wisconsin Statutes chapter 59 and specifically the county's procedures, certain positions (including the Health and Human Services Board under Wis. Stat. A7 49.23) must be confirmed by the full board. A motion to approve the listed appointments was seconded and passed by voice vote.
The newly seated chair invited committee chairs to meet after adjournment to set committee meeting times and thanked members for their service.
Next steps: The board adjourned with routine scheduling details; the next full meeting is set for May 20 (same place and time as announced).
