# Board of Health

The Waupaca County Board of Health meeting on September 24, 2026, included a report on the Wisconsin Wins tobacco compliance program. The county used grant funding for the program, partnered with local law enforcement, and completed 48 retailer checks; 47 retailers complied with the law. Staff described outreach, retailer education, and youth inspector incentives. No contract awards, vendor selections, or purchasing approvals were reported.

The board approved an approximately 4.5% increase in licensing fees for the sanitarian licensing and inspection program, following discussion of a current reserve balance of about $47,700 and a projected gap of more than $50,000 between expenses and revenue. The fee changes were described as ranging from $4 to $46, depending on the license. The board also voted to recommend Rachel Lockwood for a citizen-member appointment, subject to full-board action, and received a measles preparedness update.
