# Chippewa County Board Regular Meeting - July 14, 2026

Chippewa County, Wisconsin Board regular meeting, July 14, 2026. The Board considered highway capital financing and spending. It took up resolutions authorizing up to $7.5 million in general obligation promissory notes for highway improvements and providing for their sale; the sale resolution passed 10–0, while the transcript does not capture the vote on the initial authorization. Resolution 17-26, authorizing 2027 highway capital-improvement funding, passed 19–0. The funding plan includes sales-tax and borrowing proceeds for bridge-project design, highway machinery, county highway-building maintenance, and non-highway fleet replacements. Officials said the current bond issue is primarily for other road projects; construction costs for County M and County T are expected in a later bond issue.

The Board also approved public-private partnership agreements with Ntera LLC (18–0) and CTC Telcom Inc. dba Mosaic Technologies (19–0) to support their proposed fiber-broadband expansion projects in underserved and unserved eastern areas of the county. The county’s role is general support, such as permitting coordination and public awareness, with no direct financial contribution; the partnerships are intended to support the providers’ applications for state broadband grants. No vendor contract award was identified. Other agenda items included a UW Extension and 4-H presentation, ordinances, and appointments; no additional procurement actions were identified.
