THE LAFAYETTE COUNTY COURTHOUSE The Lafayette County Courthouse was built in 1905 - 1907 at a total cost of $136,556.17. There were three men from Shullsburg on the planning committee. Mr. Matt Murphy was the prime mover and source of money to build the courthouse. The bust of Matt Murphy is located on the entrance over the front steps of the courthouse. INFORMATION ABOUT LAFAYETTE COUNTY Situated in the Southwestern part of Wisconsin, Lafayette County lies within the unglaciated area of the state in the driftless region bordering the State of Illinois. With an area of 643 square miles or 411,520 acres, it has a population of 17,0002 according to the 2018 final estimate. The first settlements perfected by permanent occupation in Lafayette County were made during the year 1824 and were due to the existence of the lead mines, which led to early development and stability of the County. Today, Lafayette County is one of the leading
4
agricultural counties in the state, with 1,400 farms averaging 285 acres in size. Agriculture is the leading enterprise of the County. The County is rapidly developing into a recreational area.

The Formal ballot on any election shall be considered the final vote where a winner can be identified as receiving the majority of the votes of those county board members present.
28
RULE 15: Recommendations by Committee All resolutions, ordinances, petitions, and recommendations not presented by regular County Board Committees shall be referred to the proper committees before final action is taken unless the rules are suspended. RULE 16: Public Comment at County Board Meetings At all public County Board meetings, any person other than a supervisor, which person wishes to speak to the County Board, must first secure permission and an acknowledgement from their supervisor that that person wishes to speak to the County Board. Their supervisor shall then obtain permission and acknowledgement from the County Board Chairperson that that requesting person will be allowed to speak to the County Board. In the notice to the County Board Chairperson, the supervisor should state the individual’s name and address for the record, as well as the topic to which that person wishes to speak.
29
RULE 17: Committee Chair Voting At any committee meeting, the committee chair may second any motion that comes before the committee, board or commission as a part of the regular business. The committee chair may also vote on all matters that come before the committee, board, or commission. RULE 18: Approved Committee Minutes Approved minutes of all Committee (under 3a and 3b) meetings held will be made available to each County Board member on a monthly basis. Each department will make sufficient copies available to the County Clerk for distribution to the County Board Supervisors. RULE 19: Advocacy County board supervisors shall represent the official policies or positions of the Board of Supervisors, boards, commissions or committees to the best of their ability when designated as delegates for this purpose. When presenting their individual opinions and positions or otherwise speaking without the express direction or authorization of their body, county board supervisors shall explicitly state they do not represent their body or Lafayette County, nor will they allow the inference that they do.
30
RULE 20: County Clerk’s Use of Audio Recording of County Board and Committee Meetings for Later Use in Drafting Official Minutes If the County Clerk (herein “Clerk” may also refer to an employee designated by the Clerk) so desires, he or she may utilize an audio recording device to capture the discussions, actions, and contents of a County Board or Committee meeting for the sole purpose of utilizing such recording to refresh their recollection when later drafting official Minutes of the recorded Board or Committee meeting. Provided such recording is used solely for the aforementioned purpose, and provided it is maintained solely by the Clerk between the time such recording is made and the official Minutes are ratified by the County Board or Committee to which such Minutes pertain, such recording constitutes a note under Wisconsin’s Public Records Law and, therefore, does not constitute an official County record.
Because such recording does not constitute an official County record under the Public Records Law, the Clerk is authorized to and should delete, discard of, or otherwise destroy such recording upon the County Board’s or applicable Committee’s ratification of the official Minutes that were drafted by
31
the Clerk in relation to such recording. Likewise, because such recording does not constitute an official County record under the Public Records Law, such recording is not subject to disclosure under the Public Records Law.
Any persons, including elected officials, may record any public meeting and maintain that recording for their own personal use. RULE 21: Public Comment for Committee Meetings Any persons/member of the public who attends a meeting of a Lafayette County Committee may address members of the Board at the portion of the agenda listed as “Public Comment”. Sign-up may be required prior to the meeting start in order to be recognized by the chair to speak. Members of the public must be present to speak. Guidelines for public comment include the following: a) The topic may pertain to any item they wish to present with the exception of political candidate endorsement. b) The individuals identify themselves and, if representing a group, identify that group. c) State clearly and concisely the issue, limiting comments to a maximum of THREE (3) MINUTES.
32
Written material may be provided. It is not necessary to read an entire document. d) Limit group representation by appointing a speaker(s) to present an issue. The clerk will be responsible for keeping time and alerting the chair when the Three (3) Minutes is up. Each member of the public may only speak once during public comment. If more than TEN (10) individuals will be speaking on the same topic during public comment, they may elect to designate one to three individuals to speak on their behalf for a maximum of THIRTY (30) minutes. Public comment is encompassing of every person present at the meeting, including elected officials. All other items on the agenda will be discussed by members of the floor or anyone that is recognized to speak by the chairperson.
33
PUBLIC HEARING RULES Any person wishing to speak at a public hearing
may do so only if they have registered with the committee secretary before the posted beginning time of the meeting. Any person wishing to speak should register by signing their name, the subject to which they wish to speak and whether they are pro or con on the issue. At some time designated by the committee chairperson, before the committee meeting begins, the secretary or clerk shall close the registration for speaking. The clerk shall then present to the committee chairperson all names which have registered to speak. The committee chairperson, in establishing the rules for the public hearing, may allow a time before the presentation or following the presentation of the information for the public hearing to allow the people who have registered time to speak. If the chairperson states that anyone present may ask questions of those presenting the main presentation, no person shall be allowed to ask more than one (1) question on a specific topic until all others wishing to speak are heard. The Chairperson, at the beginning of the meeting or before registration, may designate the length of time that any person who has registered to speak is allowed to speak.
These rules are established so that all individuals at the public hearing may be heard.
