The resolution was referred to the full board with a Health and Human Needs Committee recommendation of denial. A supervisor advocating for the audit argued the county had entrusted Urban Triage with more than $32 million since 2020 and urged fact-finding to reassure taxpayers and, if necessary, identify improvements. The speaker also cited figures reported in filings and news coverage, including a reported CEO compensation figure and internal-control findings in Urban Triage’s own audited financial statements.

County corporate counsel told the board the county could not unilaterally compel the broad forensic audit described in the resolution. Counsel said many contractual agreements permit cooperation with federal or state audits, but the specific scope the resolution requested would exceed the county’s enforceable authority unless the provider agreed. Interim Human Services leadership told the board they had not seen audit findings that revealed material misappropriation requiring a forensic investigation. Controller Hicklin said he was not aware of financial issues that would warrant further investigation beyond existing contractual and audit remedies.

Supervisors offered differing views. Several said oversight is the board’s duty and supported an audit or stronger contract terms; others said staff had reviewed available records, that the county’s contractual reimbursement process and departmental oversight mitigate risk, and that asking for an audit the county cannot compel would be an improper use of resources. One supervisor suggested rewriting the resolution to focus on enforceable contract terms and technical fixes rather than a broad, potentially unenforceable demand.

A roll call was held after extended discussion. The clerk recorded 28 votes in favor of the committee recommendation to deny the resolution and 5 votes opposed to the committee recommendation; a few supervisors were absent. With the denial, Resolution 183 was not adopted.

The board’s staff memo and comments during the meeting stressed differences among programs (for example, quick-move-in funds versus rapid rehousing) and noted that some emergency assistance funds were administered under federal rules and other sources; staff said rapid-rehousing activity used multiple funding sources and that apparent overspending in some programs had been covered by non-county funds and did not constitute county-funded misappropriation. Several supervisors urged staff to continue oversight of contracts and, where needed, return with enforceable contract remedies or a narrower audit proposal.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Dane County - County Board - See below for additional instructions on how to attend the meeting and provide public testimony. - Jan 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Dane County Board voted 28–5 to deny a resolution that would have authorized an independent forensic audit of Urban Triage’s county-funded programs over the past three years.","taxTitle","Dane County, Wisconsin","taxId",2737,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6672339,"Dane County outlines 2025–27 land information plan, highlights NextGen 911 and address-point projects",384,277000,661000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2127114-fe08249cd43084facfd40968e71bdc7e&start=277&end=661","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2127114-fe08249cd43084facfd40968e71bdc7e/thumbnail_277000.jpg","/articles/6672339/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Dane-County-outlines-202527-land-information-plan-highlights-NextGen-911-and-address-point-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6672339-474de0e2cab451ad9b4920441d2a5076/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445500&Signature=gGHZ5y2ol~E8CAVdHtZZfJXHbyJKwIyg35hz4hhDaBG7aDTKFavVXTb1g2~L92A8owvjXumD9wTf1Q3FYh9~tVGjnOJVqrEFyVyS46hYN3ylSQxMQeJKSdDohwxIn-zFbckzWL7qe8ToecXgXF33aSLr3hLexBeFnz~WIFTbNrZisdG03jYmES3eoD4tONyO1K8HteCVKbtKnonxgd70Eyog5ZE4L0Zm2SDj7uKp8FrEdqk7C31ce-gn-wIwDmOigKhonB4oPLBzZh5jsmU3ky1Kq7AkhbQv71ylBr91xUwIatDU8E7Zl5t3nDoAIiUOHylpRw3wz3ox-t2SVXLgjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dane County Land Information Office (LIO) presented its Land Information Plan for 2025–2027 to the Dane County Board of Supervisors, outlining projects to modernize land records and support emergency services.

Fred Yalsley of the Land Information Office told the board the plan is required for participation in the Wisconsin Land Information Program (WLIP) and is intended to qualify the county for WLIP grants and to retain certain document-recording fees. The plan, he said, guides prioritization of grant funding and describes county and municipal data and service needs.

The plan lists several multi-year projects. Yalsley highlighted three: building and maintaining a comprehensive county address-point dataset (used together with street centerline data), supporting Wisconsin’s NextGen 911 system by providing more frequent data updates to the Wisconsin Office of Emergency Communications, and updating county imagery and elevation data. The LIO expects to receive new data that supports 1-foot contours in 2025 and plans countywide aerial imagery in spring 2026 to update orthophotos and related datasets.

Yalsley said the LIO provides hardware and software management, develops web applications and data services, and coordinates with county departments and municipalities. The office sits in the division of information management under the Dane County Department of Administration and works with an advisory Land Information Council chaired by the county’s Land Officer, Todd Violante. The LIO’s work supports county operations (including 911), municipal partners, and public access to authoritative geographic data.

When asked whether the LIO could support public access to parcel-related records such as property maintenance or code enforcement documents, Yalsley said the office could build web applications to surface those records, but doing so would require structured databases and scanned documents to enable searching. He noted similar public access already exists for tax-parcel information and Register of Deeds documents and said the LIO can create comparable interfaces if the underlying records and resources are available.

Yalsley described the plan as a “living document” that will be adjusted as priorities and resources change; he also noted projects may extend beyond the plan’s three-year window depending on funding and staffing. He invited board members and the Land Information Council to follow up with questions and referenced the plan included in the meeting packet.

The presentation closed with no substantive follow-up questions beyond the parcel-records discussion.

The Land Information Plan will be used to seek WLIP funding and to coordinate county GIS and mapping work over the next several years.","Dane County Land Information Office presented its 2025–27 Land Information Plan to the County Board, emphasizing address-point data updates to support NextGen 911, countywide aerial imagery in 2026 and new 1-foot contour data in 2025.","actionData","errors"]
