Committee forwards $15,000 recommendation for University Alliance projects to county board

Nov 18, 2025

The finance committee voted to forward a $15,000 recommendation from the Flood Mitigation Alliance to support three University Alliance projects (infrastructure, policy, and education) to the full county board for consideration as a 2026 budget amendment.

The full story

The committee heard a proposal to partner with UW–Madison's University Alliance on three flood-mitigation projects: short-term roadway structures, policy/ordinance recommendations, and an education campaign targeted to two watersheds. Staff said the three projects would typically cost between $3,000 and $5,000 each and recommended using $15,000 in non-lapsing land-and-water funds to support the work.
