Executive Committee Meeting

The Washington County Executive Committee met on September 17, 2026, to discuss several property and environmental funding matters. The committee reviewed a list of tax-delinquent properties eligible for tax deed acquisition, approving the county's taking of certain properties while excluding others. They addressed changes in state statutes requiring minimum bid amounts for property sales to be set at appraised values, and unanimously approved setting these minimum bids accordingly. Additionally, the committee considered a funding request of $9,980 for environmental surveys at the former Prefke brake site in West Bend, with the city providing a 20% match. The committee discussed the site's contamination history and ongoing remediation efforts, approving the funding to support further environmental assessment and redevelopment planning. The meeting concluded with a motion to convene in closed session to discuss security measures related to county office relocations.
