Brown County RDC flags missing annual reports, limited financial activity

Commission members reviewed a packet section describing RDC annual reporting requirements and raised concern that the commission has not filed required reports for several years. The Chair called attention to chapter citations in the packet and asked members to consider how to comply; the group noted the RDC currently has no budget and no recent financial transactions, which complicates reporting responsibilities but does not exempt filings.

Members proposed using meeting minutes as the basis for a concise annual activities report and agreed to prepare a short summary for the next meeting. "If nothing more, we can go back through our minutes and summarize what the subjects were in each meeting," one member said; another added they had already prepared a summary that could be used for reporting. No formal compliance filing was made at this meeting; staff and members agreed to follow up.
