Summary

Supervisors approved the DNR recommendation for a manure-storage expansion application, set a rezoning public hearing for July 6 and approved routine administrative items including a road closure and a tax-suspension information request for a resident.

The board approved a DNR recommendation to allow an expansion of a manure storage structure for an existing dairy operation (referred to in the record as the "weark dairy matrix" application). The public hearing opened and — with no public comment — the board voted to approve the application and accept the DNR recommendation.

Separately, the board set a public hearing on a rezoning matter for July 6 at 10:00 a.m. at the annex. The motion to set the hearing passed on a roll-call vote.

On administrative items, supervisors unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included last week’s minutes and a tobacco license for Country Express. They also approved a tax-suspension information request letter for Jennifer Munet (staff will request HHS verify eligibility after the passing of a spouse; any suspension would require a future formal action) and approved a road-closure request from Fort Atkinson for an event that closed a county road Sept. 25–27.

Board members discussed a county-conservation coordination item and an auditor issue: they noted the county returned more than $2 million to HHS during a prior closing and that the state auditor later sought additional funds; officials said the governor may need to sign off on forgiveness for any additional audit assessments.
