Branch I drops shared law-clerk request; seeks $14,000 for Court Commissioners assistance

Oneida County Public Safety Committee · August 13, 2026

Summary

Branch I reported Vilas County will no longer share law-clerk funding; Branch I requested $14,000 to pay Court Commissioners for help and the committee voted to forward the 2027 budget request to the Executive Committee (5-0).

At the Aug. 13 meeting, committee members discussed staffing changes in Branch I's 2027 budget. Chairperson Russ Fisher recorded a request from Branch I noting that the joint law clerk position previously shared with Vilas County will no longer be funded by Vilas; as a result Branch I is not pursuing a shared law clerk and instead requested $14,000 to be used for Court Commissioners' assistance.

The committee voted 5-0 to forward Branch I's 2027 budget request to the Executive Committee for the budget hearing (Cushing/Tautges, PASSED: 5-0). The minutes note that Branch I historically budgeted for a law clerk but received no applications in the past two years and that Vilas County will not contribute funds going forward.
