Votes and actions at a glance: Vernon County Board (selected items)
Summary
The board approved a package of administrative and governance measures including the DNR facilitation resolution on the landfill (2025-21, amended and passed unanimously), an AI policy (2025-13), multiple HR/benefits policy updates, and a board‑rules change on rescheduling meetings (2025-22).
Key votes taken by the Vernon County Board at the meeting included:
• Resolution 2025-21 (amended) — County response to DNR notice of incompleteness on the Vernon County Landfill expansion: Passed unanimously (19–0). The amendment removed language asking officials to "support expansion" and clarified the county seeks facilitation/mediation with DNR to resolve outstanding technical items.
• Resolution 2025-13 — Adopt Policy 313 (Artificial Intelligence policy): Passed by voice vote. The policy allows optional use of mainstream AI platforms with confidentiality and best-practice guidance.
• Resolutions updating personnel policies tied to HRIS/ERP implementation (timekeeping policy 5 09; paid leave policy 4 25; salary plan adjustment policy 5 19): All passed by voice vote; changes include automated accruals, an exempt employee time bank, and automated step increases tied to anniversary dates.
• Resolution 2025-22 — Amend board rules regarding canceling/rescheduling meetings: Passed as amended to give the chair, administrative coordinator and clerk authority to cancel or reschedule meetings when necessary due to circumstances beyond the county’s control.
• Several routine resolutions and contract amendments (corporation counsel backup, acceptance of an inheritance for Vernon Manor, bridge aid, etc.) were approved without extended debate.
Minutes and formal resolution texts will be posted with the county’s official minutes and should be consulted for exact motion language and recorded roll‑call where requested.
