After tie vote, Muscoda board approves $750 donation to each of four animal shelters
Summary
Following an initial 3–3 tie on a $1,000-per-shelter donation, the Muscoda Village Board approved donating $750 to each of four shelters that aided a cat rescue: Ocooch Mountain Humane Society, Richland Area Rescue, Shelter From the Storm Animal Rescue and Dane County Humane Society.
The Muscoda Village Board on Nov. 11 voted to donate $750 each to four animal shelters that assisted in a multiple-cat rescue after an initial motion to donate $1,000 per shelter failed in a 3–3 tie.
Chief Schramm, who said he had budgeted funds in the Police budget for donations, moved an initial $1,000-per-shelter contribution to Ocooch Mountain Humane Society, Richland Area Rescue, Shelter From the Storm Animal Rescue and Dane County Humane Society. That motion resulted in a tie vote (Yes: Seifert, Meyer, Hill; No: Wiederholt, Anderson, Imhoff) and failed.
Trustee Anderson then moved and Trustee Hill seconded an amended motion to donate $750 to each of the four shelters; the amended motion passed on a unanimous roll call vote recorded in the transcript.
The board did not specify the funding source beyond Chief Schramm noting available funds in the Police budget; implementation details and payments were not spelled out in the meeting record and will be handled administratively.
