Dunn County proposes reduced services, lower taxes

MENOMONIE — The Dunn County Board of Supervisors is expected to vote on its 2027 operating budget in the coming week, as the current proposal would lower the tax rate but see a reduction in services. The proposed budget comes in at roughly $117.4 million, dropping from their budget in 2026 that came in at $129.8 million. County Manager Dan Dunbar said that total includes the cost of benefits such as health insurance. One of the impacts of the proposed budget is a county tax levy increase of 1% to $25.36 million. However, equalized property value growth throughout the county would ultimately allow the county tax rate to decrease from $4.30 per $1,000 of equalized value in 2026 to $4.04 in 2027. A decreasing tax rate has been a trend for the county since 2020. Public budget discussions started in September when Dunn County recognized a budget gap of $1.4 million. Dunbar said the budget as presented is balanced, but changes had to be made to address the deficit. “Just like anybody, we have to buy fuel and buy other supplies, and the cost of inflation is going up.

Historic Eau Claire cemetery entered into state register

EAU CLAIRE — History is everywhere, according to UW-Eau Claire University Archivist Greg Kocken. It’s often just a matter of recognizing it. The State Historic Preservation Review Board has approved Forest Hill Cemetery to enter the State Register of Historic Places, a promising step into the location eventually being seen as an entrant in the national register, administered by the National Park Service (NPS). With Forest Hill Cemetery being a landscape, Kocken says those can be harder to see entered into the National Register of Historic Places compared to pieces of architecture — buildings often carry aesthetic markers of their respective eras, as well as encompassing famous figures or historic events that took place in the past. The university archivist argues that cemeteries as a whole have a place as important cultural landmarks though, and understanding their importance has become a noticeable trend in recent years. “Right now we’re starting to recognize that those cemeteries are important parts of our communities. They’re historic landscapes,” Kocken said. “They’re part of the cultural identity of a community. It’s more than just the memorials that are present there — it’s the cemetery itself as a part of the city, and recognizing that is
