Summary

Chair Melonie Tilley noted December 2025 county board minutes omitted a remark by Mary Anne Shanholtz about the status of a complaint against the county clerk; the Finance Committee asked that the county board minutes be amended to include 'Persons to Speak to the Board' and Shanholtz's comment.

Chair Melonie Tilley told the Finance Committee she had reviewed the Dec. 2025 county board minutes and found no record of Mary Anne Shanholtz speaking to the board. Committee consensus was to request an amendment so the county board minutes will include a 'Persons to Speak to the Board' entry referencing Shanholtz’s question about the status of a complaint filed against the county clerk.

The committee recorded a motion (moved by Terry Ferguson, seconded by Jamie Prestegaard) to adjourn following the consensus. The minutes reflect the committee's direction to request the amendment; the substance of Shanholtz's remarks is recorded as a request for a status update on a complaint but the minutes do not contain additional detail or response from county officials.
