Waushara County board passes two resolutions on forfeiture spending and first‑responder recognition
Summary
The board passed two resolutions urging expanded allowable uses of forfeiture funds and recognizing public safety communications officers as first responders; both passed with little discussion during the June 16 meeting.
At its June 16 meeting, the Waushara County Board passed two resolutions: one asking the Wisconsin Counties Association and the state Legislature to expand the definition of allowable forfeiture expenses to include drug‑related treatment, diversion and law‑enforcement program costs, and another recognizing county public safety communications officers as first responders.
Resolution 16‑06‑26 requested that Wisconsin statute 961.552 be interpreted or amended to allow forfeiture funds to support drug‑related treatment and diversion programs and a range of law‑enforcement program costs. Supervisor Peterman moved the resolution and it passed on voice vote after brief proceedings.
Resolution 17‑06‑26 formally recognized Waushara County public safety communications officers as first responders. The motion was made by Supervisor Peterman, seconded by Supervisor Johnson, and approved without discussion.
Both resolutions passed as part of the board’s regular business; the meeting then moved to board suggestions for future agenda items and adjourned. No detailed fiscal impacts were discussed in the meeting record for either resolution.
