CHILD SUPPORT AGENCY

Administrator

Angela F. Boelter

811 Harding St., Waupaca 54981

Phone (715) 258-6448

The Child Support Agency’s primary objective is to ensure parents provide financial and medical support for their children by establishing paternity and enforcing child support orders. This agency obtains, monitors, and enforces child support orders in cases where parents are separated, divorced, unmarried or when children are placed in out-of-home placements. When children and caregivers receive public funds (Medical Assistance, Wisconsin Shares, Child Care or Wisconsin Works), the agency attempts to increase household income through the payment of support to reduce reliance on public benefits. If a parent does not receive public assistance, the parent may apply for agency services free of charge. When a child is born to parents who are not married, this agency will commence a paternity action to legally determine a child’s father and may seek to recover expenses related to the child’s birth. The Child Support Agency pursues unpaid support through administrative and judicial actions including liens, income withholding, and the intercept of State and Federal tax income refunds.

County Board Supervisors

↑ Back to contents

COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

The governing body and center of Wisconsin county government is the County Board of Supervisors, whose members are elected for a two-year term, from districts apportioned according to population. The maximum size of Boards are set forth by state law, based on county population every census year. Waupaca County Board is divided into 27 districts. A one person, one-vote concept.
Each County Board adopts a set of rules by which it conducts its affairs. The Board selects a chairperson, vice chairperson, and highway committee at the organizational meeting in April. The chairperson and an appointed committee select members for other committees.
The County Board operates primarily through the committee system, which handles matters presented to the Board. The Board may or may not follow committee recommendations. Some committees also serve as supervisors of the service departments and agencies in their jurisdiction. Thus, County Boards have a dual role - legislative, by making policy decisions through resolutions, ordinances and other actions; and administrative, by supervising county administration through committee work.
The County Board must hold an annual meeting in November, mainly to adopt the annual budget. County government relies on property taxes, state-shared taxes and a variety of state and federal aids to finance county government activities. For some services, such as mental health, state aids reimburse most of the money. Certain county services (such as the Sheriff’s Department) are financed mainly by county general revenues, principally shared taxes and local property taxes.
