FINANCE/EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
October 20, 2009
The Finance/Executive Committee of the Grant County Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday,
October 20, 2009 at 8:30 a.m. in Room 266 of the Administration Building, Lancaster, WI,
pursuant to the adjournment of the October 13, 2009 meeting.
The meeting was called to order by Chair Mark Stead. Members present were Stephen Adrian,
Eugene Bartels, Robert Keeney, Hans Kostrau and Lynn Moris. John Patcle was excused.
Robert Keeney, seconded by Eugene Bartels, moved that the meeting is in compliance with the
open meeting law. Motion carried.
Stephen Adrian, seconded by Lynn Moris, moved to approve the agenda. Motion carried.
Finance Director Nancy Scott explained to the Committee the mistake discovered that resulted in
the County being under-levied by $227,827 for 2009 and short by the same amount in the
proposed 2010 budget. The County also levied $75,256 too much for bridge aid in the 2008
budget. Scott said she would need to contact the Department of Revenue to find out how to
correct the bridge aid error. Chair Mark Stead requested that a letter be sent to the towns after
contacting the Department of Revenue regarding the bridge aid. Scott recommended that the
proposed levy for the 2010 budget be increased by $227,827 which would result in a mill rate
approximately the same as the intended 2009 rate and the actual 2008 rate. Hans Kostrau,
seconded by Lynn Moris, moved to take the 2009 deficit from the general fund and levy the
$227,827 for 2010. The motion failed on a roll call vote:
Robert Keeney No Stephen Adrian No
Hans Kostrau Yes Eugene Bartels Yes
Lynn Moris Yes Mark Stead No
Robert Keeney, seconded by Mark Stead, moved to take all of the deficit and the $227,827 for
2010 from the general fund and leave the 2010 mill rate the same as the actual 2009 rate. The
motion passed on a roll call vote:
Robert Keeney Yes Stephen Adrian Yes
Hans Kostrau Yes Eugene Bartels Yes
Lynn Moris Yes Mark Stead Yes
Eugene Bartels, seconded by Hans Kostrau, moved to adjourn to November 3, 2009 at 1:00 p.m.
The motion carried.
