10/6/2026 Joint FHR & Govt Services Committees, Exec Committee, & Racine County Board Meeting

At the October 6, 2026 joint Finance and Human Resources and Government Services committees, Executive Committee, and Racine County Board meeting, members discussed procurement and capital matters. The committees entered closed session regarding removal of Flock cameras used by the Sheriff’s Office and the status of the county’s contract with Flock Group Inc.; the Executive Committee also met in closed session to discuss negotiations concerning the county-owned parcel at 209 North Main Street in Burlington. No outcomes from either closed session were reported. Financial advisors from PFM presented debt projections and the county’s bond rating, noting remaining borrowing authorizations of just over $16 million for the marina project and $34 million for the public safety building, with those borrowings anticipated early the following year.

The Board unanimously approved Resolution 2026-59 accepting a $1,280,600 federal boating infrastructure grant, administered through the Wisconsin DNR, for dock renovations at Reef Point Marina, including ADA-accessible slips. It also approved resolutions authorizing a temporary easement and right-of-way conveyance for the Highway 11 improvement project and use of GovDeals to auction surplus equipment from the former behavioral health building. A separate resolution urging sustainable, flexible state funding for local public health departments was approved. Public commenters urged increased Health and Human Services and highway funding and staffing as the county considered its 2027 budget; no specific budget allocation was approved in the transcript.
