Marathon County Human Resources Finance & Property Committee Meeting Pt.1 - 6/10/26

The Marathon County Human Resources Finance & Property Committee met on June 10, 2026, addressing several procurement and budget-related matters. Key discussions included approval of May claims totaling over $9 million and consideration of capital improvement projects such as the replacement of faulty smoke curtains in county facilities. An RFP was conducted for this replacement, with a single vendor selected offering a more reliable system. The committee approved funding for this project, amending the 2026 budget accordingly. Another budget amendment was proposed for replacing HVAC equipment at North Central Health Care, though this was deferred for further review. The committee also approved increasing the Sheriff's Office petty cash and unfroze three correctional officer positions, emphasizing funding through personnel savings rather than additional levy dollars. Additionally, the committee approved extending a reduced solid waste tipping fee for 45 days to assist residents impacted by disaster debris removal. A zero-dollar space agreement with the Small Business Administration Office of Disaster Recovery was approved to facilitate federal disaster response operations. Finally, the committee approved the sale of a tax-deeded property to the Village of Rib Mountain at appraised value. The meeting was recessed due to a tornado warning before concluding.
