Board also approves WDNR grant participation for Jacobsen dam (WF‑12)
Summary
By voice vote (16‑2‑1), the board adopted Resolution 2025‑44 to participate in the same WDNR municipal dam grant program for the Jacobsen dam (WF‑12); the resolution authorizes application and execution of grant documents and stipulates county cost‑share rules.
The Vernon County Board adopted Resolution 2025‑44, authorizing participation in the WDNR Municipal Dam Grant Program for the Jacobsen Dam (WF‑12).
Staff explained the Jacobsen site is part of the same program and the resolution mirrors the Swenson authorization by delegating application and grant‑execution authority to county conservation staff. The motion (Supv Pedretti; seconded Supv Slack) passed with 16 yes, 2 no (Kilmer & Eggen) and 1 absent. The resolution reiterates that the county agrees to pay the non‑state share equal to total project cost minus the state share and lists procedural authorities to sign documents and submit reimbursement claims.
The board did not specify project cost estimates in the minutes; statutory citations related to eligibility and administration are included in the resolution text.
