A resolution to encourage the city of Janesville to hold a referendum on the Woodman’s Sports Complex will be introduced at Thursday night’s Rock County Board of Supervisor’s meeting.

Board Supervisor Mike Zoril says the resolution not only encourages the referendum, but also encourages Janesville to hire an independent auditor to review the project’s finances and prevents Rock County staff from sending further letters of support on the project.

Zoril says he already has 4 co-sponsors on the resolution, and all four were part of the group of 16 supervisors who voted against funding the project in November.

Zoril says if this resolution eventually passes and the City of Janesville agrees to the suggestions, it would clear a major obstacle for the city and the odds of the board passing a future resolution in favor of the project would go up.

A vote to contribute $2 million dollars in funding from the county failed at a board meeting in November.
