Brown County does not take action on Brook Smith’s private-line application for County Road 161

Brown County commissioners addressed an application by Brook Smith to install a private line on County Road 161 but did not record a formal approval in the meeting transcript. The applicant was not present.

Speaker 1 introduced the agenda item for consideration of a private line on County Road 161. Speaker 2 noted, “not she’s not here,” indicating the applicant’s absence. Speaker 1 called for a motion and a vote — asking those in favor to raise their right hands — but the transcript does not record a definitive outcome, a motion text, or a roll-call tally for this specific item.

Because the applicant was not present and the record does not show a conclusive vote or formal written approval, the transcript indicates no formal action recorded at this meeting on the County Road 161 private-line request. Any decision or next steps (rescheduling, approval with conditions, or denial) were not specified in the meeting record.
