Dane County  
Minutes - Final Unless Amended by  
Committee  
County Board  
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.
