Winnebago County approves FY2026 drainage levies after drainage clerk’s update

The Winnebago County Board of Supervisors approved the FY2026 drainage levies and an accompanying resolution at its July 14, 2026 meeting following a report from Kris Oswald, the county’s Drainage Clerk. The motion to approve the levies was made by Supervisor Smith, seconded by Supervisor Durby, and carried with all supervisors voting aye.

Kris Oswald discussed drainage matters for the county during the meeting; the transcript records that Oswald presented on drainage but does not list levy rates or district-specific dollar amounts. The board’s approval formalized the levy schedule for the fiscal year but did not record further implementation details in the minutes.

The approval was taken as part of the meeting’s routine business, alongside other fiscal and administrative items. No public testimony or dissent on the levies is recorded in the meeting transcript. The board moved on to other agenda items after approving the resolution.
