Manitowoc County Board receives IT security training; meeting adjourns
Summary
At its May 19, 2026 meeting, the Manitowoc County Board of Supervisors received an IT security training from Ashley Smits, IT Senior Systems Administrator. The session opened at 5:30 p.m., recorded 23 supervisors present, and adjourned by motion at 5:50 p.m.
The Manitowoc County Board of Supervisors convened May 19, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Heritage Center in the City of Manitowoc for a session listed as IT security training under Wis. Stats. 59.04. Chairman M. Phipps called the meeting to order and a roll call recorded 23 supervisors present; Supervisors Sortwell and Weiss were absent, Supervisor Neils was noted as excused in the roll call, and District 2 remained vacant.
Ashley Smits, identified in the record as IT Senior Systems Administrator, presented IT security training to the board. The transcript records that the training was delivered but does not include details of the presentation, specific recommendations, or materials shown during the session.
Following the presentation, Supervisor Sitkiewitz moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded (the record shows Supervisor Neils as the seconder). The motion was adopted by acclamation and the meeting adjourned at 5:50 p.m. The minutes are signed "Respectfully submitted, Jessica Backus, Manitowoc County Clerk" in the record.
The transcript contains a potential inconsistency in attendance notation: Supervisor Neils is marked as excused in the roll call yet is recorded as having seconded the adjournment motion later in the same entry. The record does not provide further explanation or roll-call votes for the adjournment beyond the notation that it was adopted by acclamation.
No ordinances, resolutions, formal votes on business items, or substantive policy decisions were recorded in the transcript excerpt beyond the training and the adjournment motion. The record does not specify follow-up steps, training materials, or whether the training is part of an ongoing cybersecurity program.
