Purpose

BACKGROUND: On April 20, 2010 by Resolution 43-10, Sauk County was authorized to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the Ho-Chunk Nation that provides for an annual payment of $90,259 from the Ho-Chunk Nation to Sauk County.  These funds may be used at the County’s discretion for any purpose unless that purpose is considered a prohibited purpose that diminishes the Nation’s governmental jurisdiction or has an adverse financial impact on the Nation.  The County may not spend any money received under this agreement until the County provides a written report to the Nation each March 1; and the Nation must expressly state that the intended use does not constitute a prohibited purpose, or 30 days must have elapsed since the Nation has received said report and the Nation has not objected.
