Committee shifts $360,000 Emergency Management storage building from Ho-Chunk funds to capital outlay list
Summary
The Finance Committee moved $360,000 for an Emergency Management storage building from Ho-Chunk funding into the county's capital outlay spreadsheet and noted the county's total capital requests reached $4,761,212.78.
Supervisor John Pedretti moved Oct. 10 to move $360,000 for an Emergency Management storage building from Ho-Chunk funding to the county's capital outlay spreadsheet; Supervisor Martha Olson seconded the motion. The voice vote was unanimous and the motion carried, according to the minutes.
The committee recorded the total 2026 capital outlay request at $4,761,212.78 and discussed whether to borrow or use unobligated cash. Members expressed concern that reducing the net unobligated general fund balance could hurt the county's bond rating and lead to higher interest costs.
Following the discussion, the committee left the decision to preserve the net unobligated balance in place while shifting the Emergency Management storage building funding into the capital outlay plan.
