Finance committee approves minutes, a capital carryover and initial bond resolution; landfill action deferred
Summary
The committee approved minutes by voice vote, authorized a $55,730 carryover for three pieces of highway equipment and passed an initial resolution to issue up to $4.91 million in general obligation promissory notes for capital improvements; no final vote was taken on landfill expansion pending DNR and financial clarifications.
The Vernon County Finance Committee moved through procedural and budget items after the landfill discussion: the committee approved minutes by voice vote, approved a capital-equipment carryover of $55,730 for three highway items (truck-mounted broom; 10-foot pull-behind; compactor for mini-excavator) and passed an initial resolution authorizing general-obligation promissory notes not to exceed $4,910,000 for capital improvement projects. Votes on the minutes and the capital carryover were taken by voice and recorded as "motion carried."
On the landfill question, committee members explicitly deferred any funding decision until staff provides reconciled financials and DNR responses to consultant reports. The committee scheduled follow-up meetings and asked staff to circulate DNR correspondence and the consultant's rerun of airspace calculations when available.
Actions recorded in the meeting packet and minutes include the carryover motion (approved) and the initial bond resolution (approved for placement on the board packet); the committees did not adopt any ordinance or resolution specific to the landfill expansion during this session.
