Correspondence: We received a check from the Wisconsin Disaster Fund to cover part of the bridge wash out from last summer. It was brought up that residents should watch for scams because the Chairman’s email must have been spammed because a couple people received odd messages with his name attached.
Road and Maintenance Concerns: Jackson and Oak will need a mastic patch next summer. The new plow driver, Mike, has been doing a great job. If the town would like to do more pruning we would need to let Haas know in February or March because it needs to be done when the trees are dormant.
