Vernon County environmental-health staff roll out inspection tool; WIC farmers-market benefits begin amid funding cut
Summary
Environmental health staff introduced a new farmers-market inspection tool and reported six open environmental cases; the WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program began with $25 per-family benefits while federal funding reductions mean the county will receive 84% of prior checks issued in 2025.
Lisa Kabat, Vernon County Health Department sanitarian, presented environmental-health updates including a new educational packet and tool for farmers-market inspections and seasonal inspections for pools and campgrounds. Kabat told the board that license renewals are due by June 30, 2026 for the new license year beginning July 1, and that environmental staff are managing six open cases and have issued two abatement letters for improper garbage disposal.
The WIC program reported that the Farmers Market Nutrition Program started in June with a $25 benefit per family. Minutes state that, because of decreased federal funding, Vernon County WIC will receive 84% of the checks issued in 2025.
These items were presented as regular updates; the minutes do not record formal board votes connected to the environmental inspection tool or WIC funding changes. Board members may place follow-up items on the July 7 agenda if they require further action or clarification.
