Walworth County ag‑extension committee elects Rick Stacy chair, approves agenda and minutes

The Walworth County Agriculture and Extension Education Committee convened May 20, 2024, approved its agenda and the March 18 minutes, and completed leadership elections, the committee said.

During roll call Supervisors Rick Stacy, Brian Holt and Sheila Reif and citizen member Kathleen Papke were recorded as present; citizen member Jennifer Strauss was noted as not present. A motion to approve the agenda was made and recorded in the transcript as "motion by Holt, second by Reeb," and the chair stated the motion carried. The committee then opened nominations for committee chair; Supervisor Rick Stacy was nominated. After no additional nominations were offered, members voted to close nominations and the chair congratulated Stacy.

The committee also conducted an election for vice chair. The transcript records a nomination and a second (a second by Kathleen Papke is noted) and states the motion carried; the exchange did not clearly identify the vice chair by name in the recorded segments. The March 18, 2024 minutes were approved by voice vote.

The meeting adjourned by motion later in the session.

No roll‑call vote tallies were recorded in the transcript for the agenda, chair or vice‑chair actions. The meeting record shows the committee followed routine procedural steps to confirm leadership and approve routine business.
