La Crosse County Board makes quick work of short agenda in final 2024 meeting

Maybe it was the weather. Maybe it was because of the holiday season. For whatever reason, the La Crosse County Board made their last scheduled meeting of 2024 a quick one.

“Fastest meeting ever on record,” County Board chair Tina Tryggestad remarked Thursday, as she adjourned the 6 p.m. meeting roughly 10 minutes later.

The board approved a list of county appointments with a single roll call vote and received an update on plans to fill the vacant board seat in the 24th District.

Supervisors were told that one person applied so far to succeed Kevin Hoyer, who moved out of the district he represented.

The person who is appointed will fill the Onalaska-Holmen area seat will do so for just over a year — until the April 2026 election. The deadline to apply with the county clerk’s office is Jan. 3.

The roll call vote approved 13 appointments to panels, such as the historic sites commission and the county library board.
