1. Considerations for 2026 Budget Cycle
Chair Rose & Co-Chair Galey will draft a summary outline/recommendation addressing:
funding process clarity and proposal cycles, exploring feasibility and steps for hiring a
part-time role funded via settlement dollars for dedicated staff/admin support, ongoing

mothers/babies). This will be discussed at the next meeting on June 23, 2025.
Discussed engaging with Public Health and Human Services for landscape gap analysis,
identify what's already funded, and highlight areas of highest unmet need.

administrative/oversight staffing in similar jurisdictions (consult NACCHO, other WI
counties).
