Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the Board.

No person will be allowed to appear before the Board of Review, to testify to the Board by telephone, or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the assessor to view the property.

After the first meeting of the Board of Review and before the Board’s final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the Board of Review may contact or provide information to a member of the Board about the person’s objection, except at a session of the Board.

The Board of Review may not hear an objection to the amount or valuation of property unless, at least 48 hours before the Board’s first scheduled meeting, the objector provides to the Board’s Clerk written or oral notice of an intent to file an objection, except that upon a showing of good cause and the submission of a written objection, the Board shall waive the requirement during the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, and the Board may waive the requirement up to the end of the fifth day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days with proof of extraordinary circumstances for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and failure to appear before the Board of Review during the first two hours of the first scheduled meeting.

Objections to the amount or valuation of property shall first be made in writing and filed with the Clerk of the Board of Review within the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, except that, upon evidence of extraordinary circumstances, the Board may waive that requirement up to the end of the fifith day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days. The Board may require objections to the amount or valuation of property to be submitted on forms approved by the Department of Revenue, and the Board shall require that any forms include stated valuations of the property in question. Persons who own land and improvements to that land may object to the aggregate valuation of that land and improvements to that land, but no person who owns land and improvements to that land may object only to the valuation of that land or only to the valuation of improvements to that land. No person may be allowed in any action or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property unless the written objection has been filed and that person in good faith presented evidence to the Board in support of the objections and made full disclosure before the Board, under oath, of all of that person’s property liable to assessment in the district and the value of that property. The requirement that objections be in writing may be waived by express action of the Board.

When appearing before the Board of Review, the objecting person shall specify in writing the peron’s estimate of the value of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person’s objection and specify the information that the person used to arrive at that estimate.

No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or object to a valuation if that valuation was made by the assessor or the objector using the income method of valuation, unless the person supplies the assessor with all the information about income and expenses, as specified in the assessor’s manual under s.73.03(2a), Wis. Stats., that the assessor requests. The Town of Emmet has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the assessor under this paragraph that provides exceptions for persons using information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or the duties of their officer or by order of a court. The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under s.19.35(1), Wis. Stats.

The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, surgeon, or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability. No other persons may testify by telephone unless the Board, in its discretion, has determined to grant a property owner’s or their representative’s request to testify under oath by telephone or written statement.

No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or contest the amount of an assessment unless, at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board, or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed under s.70.47(3)(a), Wis. Stats., that person provides to the Clerk of the Board of Review notice as to whether the person will ask for the removal of a member of the Board of Review and, if so, which member, and provides a reasonable estimate of the length of time the hearing will take.

Budget Hearing, Special Town Elector Meeting, and Regular Town Board Meeting Minutes

Held at Town of Emmet Garage

135103 Halder Drive, Mosinee, WI 54455

November 14, 2023 at 7:00 PM

Public Hearing on Proposed 2024 Budget

The public hearing on the proposed 2024 budget and levy was called to order by Chairman Meldon Maguire at 7:01 pm. All Town Board members were present. Town residents present were Donald & Shirley Dahlke; Diane & Duane Knetter; Doug & Sue Diethert; Rob, Kelly, & Ethan Clint; Frank Feehrer; and Wayne King. The Clerk went through the budget line by line and noted the major changes from 2023. The shared revenue has increased and the additional debt payment is proposed for the levy which would bring the levy to $200,878.00. Several of the Town residents present were very vocal in their opposition to the levy increase. After much discussion, a motion by Lisa Baur, second by Wayne King to adjourn the public hearing. Motion carried.

Special Town Elector Meeting

Chairman Maguire called the Special Town Elector Meeting to order. In view of the opposition of Town residents present to the proposed levy increase, the following options were presented. The Clerk informed the audience that if another budget hearing and Town elector meeting would be necessary, a 15 to 20-day posting would be needed and that would delay the tax bill printing until late in December. If that occurred, tax bills would most likely not arrive in time for taxpayers to pay their 2023 taxes by December 31, 2023, as many Town residents do. After discussion, it was decided to remove the additional $54,391.00 from the proposed levy. If this proposal passes, the levy will remain nearly the same as in 2023. Motion by Sue Diethert, second by Donald Dahlke to amend the proposed budget to authorize the removal of the additional $54,391.00 from the levy. The motion passed, but it was not unanimous. The Clerk informed the audience that because of this action, the payment in March 2024 for the loan at the BCPL will require taking the $54,391.00 out of the operating budget. A motion by Rob Clint, second by Shirley Dahlke to adjourn the Special Town Elector meeting. Motion carried.

Regular Monthly Town Board Meeting

Chairman Maguire called the Regular Monthly Town Board Meeting to order. All Town Board Members were present. Also present were the Town of Emmet residents listed above and Town of Bergen Chairman Ed Rucinski.

Motion by Lisa Baur, second by Tyler Dahlke to approve the printed minutes of the October 10, 2023 meeting. Motion carried.

· A Town resident had questions regarding the impact of the loan on the tax levy. It was explained that the yearly payment for the loan will be on the tax levy. At this time, it is difficult to determine what the tax rate will be because the County, school districts, and NTC levies are not set.

Regular Town Board Meeting

The regular monthly Town Board Meeting of the Town of Emmet was called to order on the above date by Chairman Meldon Maguire at 7:01 pm. The meeting was held in the Halder Community Hall, 135125 Halder Drive, Mosinee, WI. Present were Town Board members Meldon Maguire, Lisa Baur, Tyler Dahlke, Mike Maguire, and Jerry Fitzgerald. Also present were Will Litzer, Rob Clint, Sue Dietert, Frank Feehrer, Jamie Cheyka-Maguire, Jacon Maguire, and Shandra Skalecke.

Motion by Lisa Baur, second by Tyler Dahlke to approve the printed minutes of the April 2023 meeting. Motion carried.

Treasurer Mike Maguire presented the financial report for May 2023. Motion by Dahlke, second by Baur to approve treasurer’s report. Motion carried.

Motion by Baur, second by Dahlke to approve payment of bills with check numbers 18362 through 18382, wages, and payments made electronically. Motion carried.

Because the WPS bill was not in at the time of the meeting, motion by Baur, second by Tyler to authorize Treasurer Maguire to pay the bill upon arrival. Motion carried.

Clerk’s Report:

· Two building permits were issued since the last meeting. Mel & Sonia Cook – window replacement in residence; and Tyler Pankratz – new house and attached garage.

· The Clerk will apply to the State Election Commission for a sub-grant for $600. This money will be used to create a WI.gov email and website.

Motion by Baur, second by Dahlke to approve beer permits for the summer softball season for the Halder Community Club. Motion carried.

Motion by Dahlke, second by Baur to designate the ATC payment for the highway budget. Motion carried.

Town of Emmet resident, Will Litzer, outlined to the Board a problem involving line fences and cattle getting onto his land. The Board explained that this is not a Town Board issue and the matter should be settled between the two parties involved. After the fence is completed, Board supervisors could inspect the fence to make sure it is properly built.

Motion by Baur, second by Dahlke to appoint Kevin Kraft to fill the vacancy on the Town of Emmet Planning Commission. Motion carried.

Chairman/Supervisor Reports:

· The Town purchased several loads of ground up blacktop from American Asphalt and applied it to Skyview Road from State Road 153 to the gravel pit entrance. This material was readily available because American Asphalt was repaving State Road 153.

· The Board had a lengthy discussion on the sale of Town-owned property. As this 40-acre site was where the former Town dump was located, ground testing will be required before any sale of this property. The REI company was mentioned for possibly doing the testing. Board members will make contacts to get the best price for this testing. There will be an update the next Board meeting.

· An ordinance for wind turbines was discussed. Chairman Maguire mentioned that any new ordinances would need to override the exemption in our present ordinance for all power-related enplacements. Opinions from Town Association attorneys are that most local ordinances that supersede the regulation authority of the public service commission would not be enforceable. Board members will contact attorneys, no formal Board action taken at this meeting.

· Gravel and culvert replacements will be formalized at the next meeting.

· A lengthy discussion concerning issuance of liquor licenses. The Town Board cannot deny a liquor license even if the holder does not open for business. The Town Board will renew liquor licenses at the June meeting.

Public Comments:

· A few Town residents at the meeting were concerned about the wind turbines. It was explained that local ordinances that supersede the PSC authority are not going to be enforceable.

Motion by Dahlke, second by Baur to set the time and date for the next meeting on June 13, 2023 at 7:00 pm in the Halder Community Hall. Motion carried.

Motion by Baur, second by Dahlke to adjourn. Motion carried. Time: 9:33 P.M.

Jim & Kevin Maguire, were present at the meeting in regard to procedures that took place in 1993 regarding possible road widening and culvert replacements. The Clerk read extensive minutes from those proceedings, and the result was that there was no written agreement with the Maguire Family regarding sale of right-of-way. Consequently, the road remained a three-rod road and new culverts were installed at that time. It was agreed that because this was many years ago and statutes of limitations have long expired on any possible transactions, the matter is closed. The cattle pass located on Big Eau Pleine Park Road will be replaced with a smaller culvert and the old culvert is the property of the Maguire family.

Motion by Dahlke, second by Clint to authorize the ATC payment for highway projects. Motion carried.

Chairman and Supervisors’ Report:

· Three culverts on the Eau Pleine Park Road were replaced today (July 12). A larger culvert will be installed when the contractor is available.

· The large culvert located on Moon Road will also be replaced this year (2022). An order will be placed with the Town’s vendor.

Adam Grahn, Fire Chief of the Mosinee Fire District, and Jared were on hand to explain the proposal on EMS license downgrade. This is necessary because of the difficulty of staffing advanced level EMS providers. This is not a permanent downgrade. As soon as staffing levels permit, the Mosinee Fire District will be upgrading back to an AEMT level surface.

Public Comments: - Town Resident, Al McHugh.

Motion by Dahlke, second by Clint to set the next meeting date for Tuesday, August 9, 2022 at 6:00 PM at the Town of Emmet Town Garage. Motion carried. Change due to election on August 9.

Regular Town Board Meeting

The regular monthly Town Board Meeting of the Town of Emmet was called to order on the above date by Chairman Don Dahlke @ 7:00 P.M. The meeting was held in the Halder Community Hall.

All Town Board members were present. Also present were Karl Kurtzweil, Will Litzer, Rick Weiler, Mayor Brent Jacobson, and Steve Haas.

Motion by Meldon Maguire, second by Wayne King to approve the minutes of the August 15, 2018 regular Town Board meeting. Motion carried. Shirley Dahlke presented the Treasurer’s report for September. Motion by King, second by Maguire to approve. Motion carried.

There were two building permits issued: Titan Properties – shed and Michael Hafner II. – new house. There has been no indication from the Marathon County CPZ when the new address signs will be installed at the residences.

Highway issues - There are a few roads in the Town where the ditches need to be cleaned and a few driveway culverts need replacing because they are either plugged up or are too small. Karl will coordinate with Dennis Spindler on these projects. Brush cutting along the Eau Pleine Park Road still needs to be done. This project is still in the works for this fall.

Motion by King, second by Maguire to approve the registration fee for the Wisconsin Towns Association Convention which will be held October 14 through October 16. Motion carried. The Clerk will send the registration and fee.

Motion by Maguire, second by King to approve a beer permit and operators’ licenses for the Halder Sportsman’s Club. Motion carried.

Steve Haas and Mayor Brent Jacobson from the City of Mosinee were at the meeting to discuss the continued coverage for the Town of Emmet for ambulance service. This contract expires December 2019. Many other issues were discussed concerning fire protection, first responders, and costs of these services. Haas and Jacobson expressed an interest in providing fire protection for the Town of Emmet that is now serviced by the Village of Marathon. For the remainder of 2018 and the calendar year 2019, the Town of Emmet is contracted with the Village of Marathon for fire protection. The Town of Emmet will renew its contract with the Mosinee Fire Department for ambulance service for that portion of the Town located east of Highway S.

Rick Weiler, owner of the property at 5297 County P, presented to the Board his proposals for renovating the structure at that address and possibly using it for a residence. The Board explained that it is a nonconforming building and is in violation of the vision triangle on County Highways. The Board explained to Mr. Weiler the Town of Emmet Zoning regarding this matter and state statutes that do apply. Mr. Weiler suggested a few alternatives including moving the building off its present foundation. There were no issues settled at this meeting and Mr. Weiler was advised to contact legal counsel.

The preliminary budget for the Town of Emmet for 2019 was discussed. Major projects include reconstruction or resurfacing of Halder Drive, which does qualify for a TRIP grant, the volume of dust control to be applied, and number of road miles to be graveled. The Clerk will have a preliminary budget for the October meeting.

Motion by Maguire, second by King to approve payment of bills and wages for September. Motion carried.

The next regular Town Board Meeting will be on October 9, 2018 at 7:00 P.M. at the Halder Community Hall.

Motion by King, second by Maguire to adjourn. Motion carried. Time: 9:04 P.M.

The regular monthly Town Board Meeting of the Town of Emmet was called to order on the above date by Chairman, Don Dahlke. The Meeting was held in the Town of Emmet Town Garage.

All Town Board members were present. Also present were Karl Kurtzweil, Will Litzer, Dan and Julie Knetter, Dale Marth, Ann Schultz, and Cory Tomczyk.

Motion by Meldon Maguire, second by Wayne King to approve the minutes of the February 14, 2017 regular board meeting. Motion carried. Treasurer Shirley Dahlke presented the financial report for March. Motion by Maguire, second by King to accept the financial report. Motion carried.

There were no building permits issued in February. Reports from the Clerk included that there were 47 votes cast in the February primary. A bill from the Marathon Fire Department for the 2017 fire contract has been paid after a new invoice was received. A questionnaire was received from the County surveyor regarding road and graveling projects for 2017. That questionnaire will be filled out and returned. The Clerk updated the Board on Marathon County proposed addressed changes and developments concerning the POWTS issue. Board of Review is tentatively scheduled for Monday, May8, 2017.

A landowner concern about ditch drainage at Spring Green Drive and County Highway S was discussed by the Board and the Board agreed that drainage issues will have to be solved by the landowner.

The Board discussed the grass fire caused by a transformer malfunction on Eau Pleine Park Road. The Clerk has contacted WPS. After the bill is received, the landowner will be contacted as to possible coverage by his own insurance.

Recycling updates were given to the Board and it is apparent that the two smaller dumpsters for the Saturday recycling are not large enough to handle the volume. Dale Marth from Advanced Disposal presented to the Board other options for handling the recycling volume. It was decided that a large 28-yard dumpster will replace the two smaller dumpsters. Mr. Marth explained the additional costs associated with this change. A survey will be sent to all Town of Emmet residents for input on whether the Town should establish Town-wide garbage and recycling pickup. A price quote for this will be available at the April Town meetings.

Dan & Julie Knetter presented to the Board their plans for a commercial building on their property at 4982 Highway 153. This includes a 52-by-146-foot structure. A section will be devoted to special events. A public hearing for a zoning change will be scheduled in May. The Knetter’s also indicated they wish to get a liquor license. At this time there is one license in reserve, and the Knetter’s can apply for that license.

A proposal was discussed from The Horton Insurance Group for possible blanket coverage for all Town personnel. The Board decided not to sign up for blanket coverage, and the Clerk and Treasurer will continue to be covered by The Horton Group.

Motion by King, second by Maguire to authorize the Clerk to publish for bids for gravel and dust control. These bids will be opened at the April 11, 2017 meeting.

Ann Schultz and Cory Tomczyk from the Mosinee School District presented the plans for the upcoming referendum on April 4, 2017. They explained each of the questions that will be on the ballot. They answered numerous questions from the Board members and Town residents present. Chairman Dahlke thanked them for attending the meeting.

Supervisor King indicated that the Town employees need safety vests and other necessary items when they are working on road projects. All these will be purchased in the near future.

Motion by Maguire, second by King to approve payment of wages, bills as presented at the meeting. Motion carried.

February 14, 2017 – 7:30 P.M.

The regular monthly Town Board Meeting of the Town of Emmet was called to order on the above date by Chairman, Don Dahlke. The Meeting was held in the Town of Emmet Town Garage.

All Town Board members were present. Also present were Karl Kurtzweil, Bryan Michlig, Will Litzer, Rich Wentzel, Marcia Kohnert, and Joe and Amy Kaiser.

Motion by Meldon Maguire, second by Wayne King to approve the minutes of the January 10, 2017 regular board meeting. Motion carried. Treasurer Shirley Dahlke presented the financial report for February and tax collection report. Total taxes collected were $883,893.83. There is slightly over $178,000 in taxes postponed that need to be collected by July 31, 2017. As of this meeting, the February levy payments to the schools and the county were not received. The Clerk will pay those immediately upon receiving them. Motion by King, second by Maguire to approve the financial report. Motion carried.

There were no building permits issued in January. The Clerk reported to the Board that there will be a primary election on February 21, 2017.

Karl reported to the Board that new batteries have been purchased for the Town grader. After Board discussion and updates on the recycling volume, Advanced Disposal will be contacted to furnish an additional dumpster for the recycling on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. Hopefully, more Town residents will use the fourth Saturday to recycle to eliminate the overflowing of the dumpsters that have occurred on the second Saturday.

Wayne presented to the Board quotes for a reclaimer. After Board discussion, a motion by King, second by Maguire to purchase a Tiger-Claw reclaimer from Serwe Implement for $7,690. Motion carried.

Joe and Amy Kaiser presented to the Board their plans for building on property they recently purchased on Briarwood Road. Their concern was that a zoning change would be necessary. After Board discussion, the present zoning classification for that property will remain. Dan and Julie Knetter were unable to be at this meeting. The Clerk explained that they will be on the March agenda to outline their plans for their building project.

The invoice received by the Clerk from the Marathon Fire Department for fire coverage for 2017 included woodland valuation as part of the total cost. Because woodland is not part of the contract, a motion by Maguire, second by King to not pay this invoice. The Chairman will contact Marathon City officials and the Town will be willing to pay the 2017 fire coverage when a revised invoice without the woodland valuation is received.

The Clerk and Chairman received a packet from the Marathon County CPZ regarding duplicate road names in the Town of Emmet. The CPZ would like all the rural townships to send them alternative road names for roads in the Town that are duplicate with other roads in other towns in the county. After Board discussion, motion by King, second by Maguire to authorize the Clerk to return this packet to the CPZ and inform them by letter that the Town Board is not going to rename the roads. As this is a CPZ mandate, they should be responsible for renaming the roads. Motion carried.

The Town residents in attendance at this meeting shared their opinions and concerns with the Board regarding the address and road name changes. The Board appreciates their input.

Motion by Maguire, second by King to approve payment of wages, bills as presented at the meeting and also for the Clerk to pay the school and county levies upon receipt. Motion carried.

Motion by Maguire, second by King to set the date of the next regular Town Board Meeting on March 14, 2017 @ 7:30 p.m. at the Town of Emmet garage. Motion carried.

Motion by King, second by Maguire to adjourn. Motion carried. Time: 8:50 P.M.

September 13, 2016 – 7:30 P.M.

The regular monthly Town Board Meeting of the Town of Emmet was called to order on the above date by Chairman, Don Dahlke. The Meeting was held in the Halder Community Hall.

All Town Board members were present. Also present were Karl Kurtzweil, Doug Schoenfuss, Leon Woller, Will Litzer, and Alvin and Rachel Kaiser.

Motion by Wayne King, second by Meldon Maguire to approve the minutes of the August 10, 2016 regular Board Meeting. Motion carried. Treasurer Shirley Dahlke presented the financial report for September. Motion by King, second by Maguire to approve the Treasurer’s report. Motion carried.

The Clerk reported there were no building permits issued since the last meeting.

Motion by King, second by Maguire to appoint Doug Schoenfuss as coordinator for the Town of Emmet first responders. Motion carried. Previous coordinator, Scott Pupp, has moved out of the area. Schoenfuss accepted the appointment and stated he has received the recent supplies ordered for the first responders including the radio batteries and Lifepak kits.

Leon Woller from Rural Insurance Company presented the Board with preliminary quotations for Property and Liability insurance, and Workman’s Compensation insurance. He answered several questions from the Board regarding property values. A few adjustments will be made to these values and he will send a new quotation to the Clerk for budgetary considerations. After Board discussion, a motion by Maguire, second by King to terminate the Town’s policy with the Local Government Property Insurance Fund and accept the proposal from Rural Insurance.

Karl Kurtzweil reported to the Board that most graveling projects have been completed for 2016. The total gravel applied to Sugar Bush Road was 1,638 yards. Major projects for 2017 include the replacement of the two adjoining culverts on Maple Leaf Road, and the Clerk will send in the application for County cost-sharing on this project. The Town will also reset a culvert on the Maple Court subdivision.

Motion by Maguire, second by King to approve the Marathon City Fire contract for 2017. There will be a slight increase in the section fees, however, the Board recognizes the necessity of having fire protection for the Town of Emmet located east of Highway S.

Budgetary items for 2017 were discussed by the Board. There will be no money put in the budget for the proposed county-wide address changes. It appears that implementation of this will not be until 2018. Supervisor King presented the Board with various quotations for a reclaimer. These quotes range from $4,900 to $17,000 for a grader-mounted reclaimer. The preliminary budget for a reclaimer will be $10,000 to $11,000. The Clerk will have a proposed budget ready for discussion for the October 11, 2016 meeting.

Motion by Don Dahlke, second by Maguire to authorize the Town to reimburse Town Board Members for their registration expenses for the Wisconsin Town’s Association annual convention. Motion carried. Board members will send in their own registrations for the days and times they wish to attend.

Motion by Maguire, second by King to approve the Halder Community Hall as an alternative site for in-person absentee voting. Motion carried. This is necessary to comply with requirements of a recent court decision regarding in-person absentee voting.

Alvin Kaiser was in attendance and stated that he will be willing to continue to do brushing work for the Town of Emmet. He will coordinate with Karl on upcoming projects including portions of West Still Hill Road and Brookfield Road.

The Board discussed updating the comprehensive plan and a few possible changes in the zoning regulations. Chairman Dahlke explained that any proposed zoning changes would have to be done with legal compliance. No date was set for these two items.

Public comments involved land and property transactions where after certified surveys, property amounts and boundaries change. It is important before any property transactions to get a certified survey as nearly all surveys are not completely accurate. This also enables the assessor to keep all property records up to date.

Motion by Maguire, second by King to authorize the Clerk to pay major bills (Eau Pleine Park Road – chip sealing project) that may come in before the next meeting. Motion carried.

Motion by Maguire, second by King to authorize payment of bills and wages as presented. Motion carried.

Motion by Maguire, second by King to set date for the next regular Town Board meeting for Tuesday, October 11, 2016 @ 7:30 PM at the Halder Community Hall. Motion carried.

April 12, 2016 – 7:30 P.M.

The regular monthly Town Board Meeting of the Town of Emmet was called to order on the above date by Chairman, Don Dahlke. The Meeting was held in the Halder Community Hall.

All Town Board members were present. Also present were Karl Kurtzweil, Ed, Sedlacek, Sharon Bickford, Duane Ladick, Peggy Koss, and Jim Kafka.

Motion by Wayne King, second by Meldon Maguire to approve the minutes of the March 8 2016 Board Meeting. Motion carried. Treasurer Shirley Dahlke presented the financial report for April. Motion by Maguire, second by King to approve the Treasurer’s report. Motion carried.

The Clerk reported that there was one building permit issued in March; Russell Hanke – shed. A total of 405 votes were cast in the spring primary on April 5, 2016, which was 73% of eligible voters. The Clerk reported that there were 29 new registrations and the voting in the upper level of the Town Hall worked very well. Elections will continue to be held in the upper level of the Town Hall.

A preliminary schedule was presented by Karl Kurtzweil for the road graveling schedule in 2016. Roads to be graveled include Holstein Road from Cedar Hedge to Highway H, Lovers Lane, Valley View Drive, Lara Lane, Mallard Lane, and portions of Maple Leaf and Briarwood Road. Sometime this summer, Heartland Cooperative will be replacing one of the propane tanks; and at that time, the area where the tanks are sitting will be built up and a layer of gravel applied. The possibility of fencing in the tanks was mentioned, however, no action was taken on that matter at this time.

Ed Sedlacek and Sharon Bickford presented their plan for starting a small business on Halder Drive. The consensus of the Board was that there will be no need to have any zoning changes for this project. Ed mentioned that he would probably have to put in another driveway for pumping his septic tank; however that will be a private concern.

Gravel bids were received from the following: Ladick Road Materials – screened decomposed granite delivered to the Town @ $5.48, loaded on Town trucks @ $3.75, delivered to Town residents and landowners @ $6.70; fill dirt material delivered to Town @ $5.20, loaded on Town trucks @ $2.40; pitrun granite delivered to Town @ $5.40, loaded on Town trucks @ $3.25; breaker run/chiprock delivered to Town @$7.75, loaded on Town trucks @ $4.75; large riprap delivered to Town @ $12.65; and sand delivered to Town @ $8.30.

Jim Kafka of JRK Properties, Incorporated, outlined his plans to the Board to rezone a portion of his property in Section 13 to heavy industrial. The plan commission hearing will be scheduled later this year.

The Board discussed the proposal of Mr. Franke to put a trailer for a hunting cabin on his property. Town zoning prohibits trailers (mobile homes) for residential use. Any structure Mr. Franke builds will have to comply with the Town’s zoning code for square footage (960 square feet) for residential use. Any septic system will have to comply with Marathon County zoning regulations.

A letter from the Marathon County CPZ Department requesting a member of the Town Board to be on an advisory committee for the implementation of the proposed address change was received and discussed.
