09/24/2026 Planning and Zoning Committee

The Waupaca County Planning and Zoning Committee met on September 24, 2026. The committee approved the department budget as presented by voice vote; the discussion cited a net levy impact of about $38,207 and considered fee increases and comparisons with other counties. Staff described a goal of keeping rural transit budget-neutral through employer and municipal contributions, including a federal grant contract of roughly $1 million. Child-care funding was also discussed: $10,000 from a $225,000 grant and other available funds could potentially be directed through the existing community fund. The county’s Greenways program receives $25,000 annually; most available funds have been committed, and grants are now paid when projects are 50% complete rather than after completion. No contract awards or RFP decisions were identified.
