11/9/2026 Legislative, Judicial, Ethics, Courts' Safety and Security Committee

The Waupaca County Legislative, Judicial, Ethics, Courts’ Safety and Security Committee met on November 9, 2026. Members approved the agenda and the October 12 minutes. Corporation Counsel reported on October caseloads and pending court matters, including a state Supreme Court case with potential statewide implications. The office was preparing to post the Corporation Counsel position and was considering an interim arrangement to contract with a Corporation Counsel and assistant to handle cases while recruitment proceeds; no contract award, vendor, or dollar amount was identified.

The District Attorney reported hiring an assistant district attorney, bringing the office to full staffing for its currently authorized positions, though the office would remain at about 80% capacity. The report noted that the staffing change may affect support-staff workloads and could lead to a request for an additional position or a classification adjustment in a future budget, possibly for 2028. No related spending motion or vote was taken. The next meeting was scheduled for December 14, 2026, at 10 a.m.
