The committee also considered Resolution No. 24, to carry unexpended 2024 appropriations into 2025; Supervisor Brauer moved to approve the resolution, Supervisor Edward Procek seconded, and the motion carried.

The committee approved the minutes of the Jan. 3, 2025 meeting and approved vouchers presented at the Jan. 28 meeting. During the session the committee moved into a closed session under Wis.
