Dane County  
Meeting Agenda - Final  
Environment, Agriculture & Natural Resources Committee  
Consider:  
Who benefits? Who is burdened?  
Who does not have a voice at the table?  
How can policymakers mitigate unintended consequences?  
This meeting is being conducted on land now known and  
recognized as Dane County, Wisconsin. We acknowledge that  
this land is at the same time the ancestral, traditional, &  
contemporary land of the Ho-Chunk, Sauk & Kickapoo nations.
