Sawyer County committee backs statewide MSISAC membership resolution, asks state to cover costs

The Sawyer County committee approved Resolution 2026 supporting membership in MSISAC, an information‑sharing and cybersecurity consortium that operates across county and state lines.

County Administrator summarized the purpose: the initiative “has to do with cybersecurity and just data sharing,” and the resolution asks for state assistance to cover membership costs. A motion to approve the resolution was made, seconded, and carried by voice vote. The administrator said staff would attempt to learn the membership cost prior to presenting the resolution to the full county board and that the resolution would be forwarded to state representatives as part of routine advocacy.

There was no recorded opposition. Board members noted the resolution mirrors similar actions by other Wisconsin counties and framed the measure as support for intergovernmental cybersecurity cooperation rather than an immediate budget commitment.
