# Jefferson County WI Board Meeting (November 10th, 2026)

Jefferson County, Wisconsin County Board meeting on November 10, 2026. The board approved the 2027 countywide levy and fee schedule (27–1, with two absent) and authorized 2027 state, consortium, professional-service, and care-provider contracts for Human Services; the associated costs were included in the 2027 budget. It also approved a one-year extension of the county farm agricultural lease, with rent of $48,558.83, rather than putting the land out to bid for three years because road construction or land sales may reduce available acreage. The board considered an amendment extending the county’s purchase-and-sale agreement with Wangard Properties through May 14, 2027, waiving the agreement’s additional $10,000 earnest-money requirement; the transcript does not preserve the final vote result.

The board also considered restructuring the Jefferson County Economic Development Consortium so Thrive Economic Development would contract directly with participating local governments; the county’s contribution would remain $150 per capita, and accumulated partner reserves would be transferred upon formal dissolution. The county reported a Fair Park and fair budget of just over $1.8 million and discussed facility improvements and future capital planning, but no related contract awards were identified. A new Human Services quality-assurance specialist position was approved with state funding and no anticipated increase to the county tax levy. Other approved personnel actions included increased hazardous-duty pay for eligible I-94 highway employees, with costs reimbursed by the state. No specific vendor selection or competitive bid award was reported.
