Winnebago County supervisors set March 24 tax-notice hearing and approve transfers, claims and payroll

The Winnebago County Board of Supervisors set a public hearing for the proposed tax notice for March 24 at 11 a.m. and approved several routine financial actions during the meeting.

The board rescinded a previously announced hearing date and adopted the March 24 date after Committee member (S1) moved to rescind ‘‘last week's motion for setting the hearing date for proposed tax notice hearing and new motion of setting it at March 24 at 11am,’’ and Committee member (S3) seconded. Clerk (S5) explained the sequence of mailings and follow-up meetings required for the budget process.

The board also approved the auditor's transfers after a motion by Committee member (S3) and a second by Committee member (S1). Later the board approved county claims and payroll claims by voice votes following motions from Committee member (S1) and seconding members; the chair called for aye and the motions were carried. The meeting record shows these were voice approvals; no numerical roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.

Votes at a glance: • Set public hearing for proposed tax notice — motion to rescind prior motion and set new date (motion by Committee member (S1); second by Committee member (S3)) — outcome: approved by voice vote. • Approve auditor's transfers — motion by Committee member (S3); second by Committee member (S1) — outcome: approved by voice vote. • Approve county claims — motion by Committee member (S1); second noted — outcome: approved by voice vote. • Approve payroll claims — motion by Committee member (S1); second by Committee member (S3) — outcome: approved by voice vote.

What happens next: Clerk (S5) described that notices will be sent, a regular meeting will be held and then a separate March 24 meeting at 11 a.m. will be used to close that meeting and set the formal budget hearing date. The transcript does not record additional roll-call tallies or formal minutes beyond the voice approvals.
