Vernon County finance committee approves up to $50,000 budget amendment to replace damaged Human Services van
Summary
The Vernon County Finance Committee voted unanimously to forward a resolution to the full county board that would amend the 2026 budget to use up to $50,000 in DOT Trust Fund dollars to replace a hail-damaged, handicap-accessible Human Services van after insurance proceeds proved insufficient.
The Vernon County Finance Committee on May 19 voted to forward a resolution to the full county board amending the 2026 budget to allow the use of up to $50,000 in Department of Transportation Trust Fund dollars to purchase a new handicap-accessible Human Services van.
Jill Bender presented the resolution, telling the committee the van was damaged beyond repair in a recent hailstorm and that the insurance check will not cover the cost of a replacement vehicle. The resolution would authorize use of DOT Trust Fund dollars to close the shortfall.
Supervisor Pedretti moved the resolution and Supervisor Beitlich seconded. The committee approved the motion on a voice vote, with all voting in favor, and recommended the item for approval by the full county board.
The amendment would amend the 2026 budget to permit use of the specified DOT Trust Fund dollars; the resolution as presented did not specify further procurement details or an expected delivery timeline for the replacement vehicle. The committee did not record any roll-call votes in the minutes; all votes were taken by voice.
The resolution will next be considered by the full Vernon County Board; the minutes show the Finance Committee forwarded it with a recommendation for approval.
