# 7/21/2026 County Board of Supervisors

The Waupaca County Board of Supervisors meeting on July 21, 2026, included a vote on a contract for final engineering and bid-phase services for repairs to Keller Dam. The work includes final plans for DNR approval and support for the bidding process; spring flooding added an estimated $100,000 to the project, bringing the estimated total to about $370,000. The county reported that the project is eligible for a 50% state grant. The board also received an update on the county building renovation: phase one was nearing turnover, with completion targeted for August 4, and the project’s contingency balance was reported at $515,000. A geothermal rebate of up to $3 million was said to remain on track, with payment expected after project completion. The transcript does not clearly preserve the dam-contract vote tally or contractor name.

The board approved creation of a SNAP quality-control position, funded through non-levy sources under a four-year state project, by a vote of 24–2; members discussed what would happen if funding ends. A resolution supporting sustained state funding for local public health departments was also considered. Emergency Management reported that individual disaster-assistance applications totaled nearly $500,000 and estimated total disaster-relief funding for the county at roughly $3–3.5 million. No other specific contract awards or purchasing decisions were clearly identified.
