Brown County records intention to appoint David Betko acting county treasurer, effective Jan. 1, 2026

Brown County officials presented and recorded the intention to appoint David Betko as acting county treasurer, effective Jan. 1, 2026, following the resignation of Andy Clark.

Unidentified Official (Speaker 2) said the meeting must receive a resignation letter “from Andy Clark, effective the last day of this year,” and stated, “David Betko is the acting, county treasurer.” Speaker 1 said they had paperwork but did not know the effective date and that signature lines and finalization were still outstanding. Speaker 2 moved, a second was recorded, and the group voted by hand/voice raise; Speaker 2 congratulated Betko, saying, “Congratulations, David.” The transcript does not include a formal effective-date document in the record nor a roll-call tally.

Officials agreed the minutes should record the board’s intent to appoint Betko effective 01/01/2026 and that any formal appointment paperwork would be completed later. The resignation date is described only as “the last day of this year” in the transcript; a calendar date was not specified.

The action as recorded in the meeting indicates approval to proceed with an acting appointment beginning Jan. 1, 2026; supporting paperwork and official signatures were discussed but not completed in the recorded exchange.
