Finance Committee authorizes Schneider Electric to prepare proposals around $3 million target
Summary
The Vernon County Finance Committee voted June 16 to have Schneider Electric prepare project proposals with an overall budget target of $3,000,000 so the county can consider them in the 2027 budget cycle.
On June 16, 2026, the Vernon County Finance Committee voted to have Schneider Electric prepare detailed project proposals pegged to an overall budget target of $3,000,000. The motion, moved by Supervisor Pedretti and seconded by Supervisor Walleser, carried on a voice vote with all members present voting in favor.
Conner of Schneider Electric told the committee the company has identified priorities in consultation with county staff and needs a budget target to fine‑tune cost estimates. "They would like to be able to have documents ready by the end of July so that this can be included in the 2027 budget cycle," Conner said during the presentation. Committee members said they want to review the full county budget before committing to specific projects; Schneider asked for a target number as soon as possible to complete its work.
The committee's action directs Schneider to prepare proposals based on the presentation; the company will return proposed scopes and cost estimates the county can use during its 2027 budgeting process. The vote sets the procedural next step but does not itself award a contract or authorize spending beyond budgeting work.
