Chairman Dippel called the meeting to order at 5:50 p.m. and compliance with the open meeting was verified. Motion by Bychinski, second by Haugen to approve the agenda. Motion carried.

Darlene Hill requested full payment of the Sauk County Agricultural Society's 2003 appropriation, instead of the
half payment for all outside agencies the Finance Committee had approved at their January 14,2003 meeting. She
explained that the Fair Board will be incurring significant expenses early in 2003 that need to be paid before the
majority oftheir other cash flow is available. Although the Committee members were sympathetic, there was the
general opinion that there should be criteria adopted by the Committee about which outside agency requests should
be granted. Motion by Burri, second by Haugen to table this request until the regular February meeting,
when criteria for fuII payment are adopted. Motion carried.

Motion by Bycliinski, second by Burri to approve the County bills in the amount of $603,754.88. Motion carried.

Motion by Burri, second by Haugen to adjourn until the next regularly scheduled meeting. Motion carried.

Respectfully Submitted: Tom Lee Bychinski, Finance Committee Secretary
