AMENDING THE 2019 BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE $97,259 PURSUANT TO AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN SAUK COUNTY, WISCONSIN AND THE HO-CHUNK NATION

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.  In addition to the 2019 allocation of $90,259, unspent 2017 funds of $7,000 are no longer needed for an originally intended project and are being re-allocated.
