Is no monthly meeting good or bad?

State, federal funding

The 111 acres West Salem farmland sale

Marker 03

A.I. answering 911 calls 

A quiet time for the La Crosse County Board, so there’s no big monthly meeting. Board chair Tina Tryggestad stopped in the WIZM studio for La Crosse Talk to discuss why there’s no meeting — and how that’s not really good or bad — plus some of the priorities the board is working on.

Usually, the county board meets the third Thursday each month as one of its biggest meetings. This week, that meeting isn’t happening so we talk about why, as well as just the ins and outs of how the county board works, in general.

In terms of priorities for the board, we dug into the potential sale of the 111 acres of county-owned farmland in West Salem and where the board is at in that process and what the timeline might be to continue on with that sale. We also discussed the rollout of the A.I. answering non-emergency 911 calls.

Before that, though, we talked about the state budget process and how the county is dependent upon how that plays out, plus where Congress is at with its big federal funding package.
