My attendance record for the County Board Educational and Voting meetings and has been excellent, with only 1 missed meeting over the 2 year term. My attendance record for County Standing committees has also been excellent, with perfect attendance at my EEED committee and 20 extra meetings attended at HRFC.
My attendance record has also been very good at County Subcommittees with no missed meetings on the Solid Waste Board and 1 missed meeting on the Rules Review Committee.
My attendance record at the Pace Committee (which is not a Marathon County Committee) has not been as good, because I prioritized County business over non-County meetings. My challenger says that I missed at least the last 5 meetings. I have no reason to believe that this is not true and expect that I have actually missed more than 5 meetings.
Pace is an excellent program that provides support for clean energy systems on commercial and multi-resident housing, without using taxpayer funding. The system allows the property owner to add the payments for the clean energy equipment to the property tax bill, thus providing clean energy lenders more assurance that the loan will be repaid.
At the beginning of the term, I regularly attended the Pace meetings. At some point during the term, I started watching most if not all videos of the County Standing Committee meetings. I prioritized the County’s business over the business of other Counties. To the best of my knowledge, I attended every Pace meeting for which there was a Marathon County clean energy project.
I would like to provide a record for my PACE attendance, but unfortunately I didn’t keep a good record of my PACE attendance. The minutes of the PACE meetings are not available on the PACE website, nor could I find them on the WCA (Wisconsin County Association) website which is one of the partners in Pace.
I may post the attendance records in the future if there is interest and if I can get a copy of the records.
