Planning, Development & Extension Education Committee Meeting, November 11, 2026

At its November 11, 2026 Planning, Development & Extension Education Committee meeting, Kenosha County received a presentation on the 4-H program, which reported 744 members and 135 volunteers for the 2026 4-H year. The presentation covered youth projects, leadership and community-service activities, and opportunities to broaden participation, including in the city and in agriculture-related programming. The committee also reviewed the Youth in Governance nomination process; staff said the positive youth development educator position would be posted in January. No procurement, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.

The committee considered appointments to conservation bodies. Paul Maggio’s appointment to the Land and Water Conservation Committee was approved, and Christy Heiser’s appointment to the Southeastern Wisconsin Fox River Commission was approved; the transcript also records a request and motion concerning Jeff Colona’s appointment to the Land and Water Conservation Committee, though the vote is unclear. A comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning request in the Town of Wheatland was tabled until the December 9 meeting because the required town notice had not been posted in time. The committee adjourned without identifying related expenditures.
