MONROE COUNTY RULES OF COUNTY BOARD
The meetings of the Board shall be: the Organizational Meeting on the third Tuesday in April following the spring election, the Annual Meeting on the first Wednesday of November; all other meetings on the fourth Wednesday of each month, unless the date is changed by the Chair or Vice-Chair of the Board.
1. The Board shall be called to order by the Chair at 6:00 p.m. on each day of its meeting, at which time the meeting shall begin with the County Clerk calling roll in numerical order of districts and noting whether a quorum is present; a quorum shall be 60% of the members. If a quorum is present, the business of the Board shall proceed. Should a quorum not be present, the Board shall adjourn until a specified time. In the absence of the Chair, the Vice-Chair shall preside. If both are absent, the Board shall elect a temporary Chair.
2. The order of business shall be as follows: call to order, roll call, Pledge of Allegiance, previous minutes, proclamations, appointments, correspondence, claims, announcements, County Treasurer’s report, reports and/or speakers, resolutions, adjournment.
3. Resolutions received by members with the agenda need not be read. Any member may request that a resolution be read. Late resolutions not mailed with the agenda shall be read. All resolutions shall be approved by the Corporation Counsel.
4. Any resolution or motion involving appropriation of money shall include (or as a fiscal note): 1) the actual or anticipated cost; 2) a statement whether sufficient funds are available in the current budget; 3) a note by the Finance Committee that a provision is made for funding. It shall further be determined that there has been compliance with Wisconsin Statute 65.90 (municipal budgets) and any appropriate County Board resolutions.
5. The County Clerk shall, at least four days before each meeting of the Board (except when the Board is in continuous meeting), mail to each member an itemized agenda containing copies of all resolutions and other matters to be considered by the Board. The agenda shall be prepared by the County Clerk subject to the approval of the Board Chair. All resolutions or other matters to be brought before the Board shall be reported to the County Clerk at least six days prior to the Board meeting in order to be placed on the agenda for consideration. Matters not on the agenda shall be referred to the appropriate committee. The Board may, by a two-thirds vote of those members present, suspend the rules and place on the floor any matter that was previously on a meeting agenda. However, if the matter did not appear on an agenda, no discussion or action shall take place on that matter and the matter shall be referred to the appropriate committee or placed on the agenda for discussion at the next Board meeting.
6. Any person not a member, wanting to address the Board on any matter shall first obtain leave, such leave being requested by a member. In case of objection, such person must have a two-thirds vote of those members present. The Chair, without suspension of the rules, shall be permitted to call upon employees of any department for remarks.
7. Every member, previous to speaking, shall indicate a request to speak electronically or show of hands, at the discretion of the Chair. Priority may be given to electronic requests but the Chair retains discretion in choosing whom to recognize. Upon being recognized by the Chair, a member shall address the Chair and shall not be interrupted except by call to order. No member shall speak more than twice on the same question without leave of the Chair, and a member shall be limited to three minutes for each of their times in addressing the Board. Exempted from this limitation shall be committee chairperson/representative presenting a resolution or answering questions.
8. When a member is called to order, the member shall not proceed to speak, except in explanation, until it is determined whether he/she is in order or not.
9. Roberts Rules of Order shall prevail regarding parliamentary procedure when not in conflict with any rule of the Board.
10. It shall be the duty of all members to vote yes or no, unless the Chair shall excuse a vote for good and sufficient reason before the voting has begun.
11. Every vote upon the levy of a tax or providing an appropriation of money shall be by roll call. All other voting shall be by voice vote, electronic vote, or electronic roll call vote of the majority required, at the discretion of the Chair. Any member may request roll call on any question. All roll call votes shall be electronic unless the Chair rules otherwise. Should the Chair grant an exception to electronic roll call vote, the roll call vote by voice shall be by district numerical order except that the County Clerk shall rotate the order so that the member voting first shall have his/her name called last on the succeeding roll call vote by voice. This sequential rotation shall start with the April Organizational Meeting and continue from meeting to meeting. The Chair shall always vote last.
12. No rule shall be changed, modified, or amended unless it is presented and voted on in resolution form at a regular meeting.
13. Resolution 11-14-02 removed Rule #13
14. Any matter that comes before the Board without a committee recommendation or resolution shall be referred to the appropriate committee by the Chair without motion.
15. The Board Chair, in conjunction with the Vice-Chair, shall select the committee members and the chair of the various committees and boards with the following exception: the Highway Committee shall be elected by the Board at the Organizational Meeting. The committee chairs shall designate a member of the committee as vice-chair. The committee chairs shall select a recorder who shall record and forward a copy of the minutes to the County Clerk and posted on the county website within five business days of the meeting and send an approved copy when approved by the committee. The County Clerk shall keep these minutes on file for five years.
16. The chair of each committee, subcommittee, special committee, standing committee, or board shall have the primary responsibility for complying with Wisconsin Statute Chapter 19, the Open Meeting Law. Each committee chair or designee shall notify the County Clerk how meeting notices are going to be conveyed to the media. Committees shall designate if notification is to be made through the County Clerk’s Office; if not done through the County Clerk’s Office, notices must be properly conveyed.
17. Special Board meetings may be called at the joint request of the Chair and Vice Chair or upon a written request of a majority of the members to the County Clerk, specifying the time and place of the meeting, with four days notice to the members in either instance.
18. All reimbursement claims of members and other individuals eligible for per diem and other expenses shall be made on the expense sheet. Claims will be reviewed and allowed or denied by the Finance Committee. Expense sheets are to be submitted to the County Clerk’s Office no later than the seventh of each month.
