Pay current bills:  A motion was made by Wayne, seconded by Dan, to pay the current bills.  Motion carried. 

Old Business:  Sankey’s only put up a few boards, so Paul will instruct Dave Hamel that he may finish the fence and Sankey’s will be responsible for paying for it.  If they don’t pay him for it then it will be put on their taxes.  The local WTA meeting that we hosted went well and Paul has a thank you for the board to sign to send to Travis Marti.

New Business:  Paul and Wayne will take a look at some used plow trucks to see if they would be a good fit instead of purchasing a new plow truck.  They will check into leasing to see if that would be an option.  Wood County would like to borrow our shouldering machine to see how it works.

r

Public Input:  Ralph Hamel wanted to talk about the ditch mowing.  He did not think residents should be able to opt out of ditch mowing especially if they have noxious weeds.  He also said that when dust control is done on the gravel roads that we should be doing the entire road, not just in front of the residences.

Scott’s also gave a bid to crack fill North road from Jackson Road to C for $15,340.  A motion was made by Dan, seconded by Wayne, to do Young and Ruesch Roads with the material from the Cepress pit and crack fill North Road.  Motion carried.  Kolo Trucking said that they could put road base on Maplewood, Poplar, and Johnson for around $13,300.   A motion was made by Wayne, seconded by Dan, to have Kolo put road base on those roads.  Motion carried.

Road Bids:  Due to the fact that we are doing so much other work this year, we do not need to bid out any other road work.

Poll Worker Wages:  A motion was made by Dan, seconded by Wayne, to increase the poll worker wages to $13 per hour.  Motion carried.  Diane let the poll workers know that they were given a raise.

Board Wages:  Paul presented what he feels the board should be paid.  If anyone has any other ideas of what each position should be paid they can bring it to the next meeting.  A decision should be made in the next few months so it can be budgeted for next year.  The raise will not go into effect until the next term in April.

Expenditures and Treasurer Reports:  A motion was made by Dan, seconded by Wayne, to approve the expenditures and Treasurer reports.  Motion carried. 

Correspondence:  We received a certified survey map from Wood County.

Road and Maintenance Concerns/Brushcutting:  Paul thinks that we should do overlay and shouldering on North Road between Grant Road and Arpin-Hansen because the road is in pretty rough shape.  He checked with the county and it would normally cost $90,000 but with the 50/50 road aid that we have built up it would cost $66,000.  A motion was made by Dan, seconded by Wayne, to overlay North Road.  Motion carried.

Road Inspection:  The road inspection was completed on March 18th by Paul and Wayne.  A bunch of BNI (fire) numbers are faded and need to be replaced.  If anyone is driving around and notices any bad road signs, they should let the board know.

New Business:  Vesper gave their poll workers a raise to $13 per hour.  Poll worker wages will be added to the next agenda.

Board Members Excused:  None

Others in Attendance:  Chris Ferkey, Bob Cline, Ruth Cline, and Dave Hamel

Call to Order:  Chairman, Paul Goldberg, called the meeting to order at 7:02 p.m.

Approval of Clerks Minutes:   The minutes from the February 13, 2024 meeting were read.  A motion was made by Wayne, seconded by Dan, to approve the minutes.  Motion carried.

Expenditures and Treasurer Reports:  A motion was made by Wayne, seconded by Dan, to approve the expenditures and Treasurer reports.  Motion carried. 

Correspondence:  Received a building permit for a shed.  Paul met with Kurt Hendrickson from the ATC.  They will be updating the power poles down County Road C.  If anyone has any questions they can contact him at (920) 338-6515.

Road and Maintenance Concerns/Brushcutting:  Paul said that Wood County will do the inspections for the culverts.  Whatever the cost is will be reimbursed so it shouldn’t cost anything to do.  Paul returned the petition for road aid and 50/50 program.  Paul touched base with JJ’s brushcutting and they said that we should give them a price for what we want done.  We weren’t sure how much exactly would be needed so Diane will touch base with them to see if they think that $5,000 will be enough.  A motion was made by Wayne, seconded by Dan, to spend between $5,000 and $10,000 on brushcutting depending on what JJ’s thinks we need to take care of the problem.  Motion Carried.  The Town of Siegel is chip sealing Young Road and was wondering if we would be willing to pay for the section that is in our Town which is about 1109 feet.  Dan made a motion, seconded by Wayne, to chip seal that 1109 feet of Young Road.  Motion Carried.

Road Limits/Road Inspection:  The County has decided not to implement road limits this year, so there won’t be any restrictions this year.  The road inspection is set for March 18th at 9:00 a.m.

BOR Tentative Dates:  Diane will contact Pauls & Associates to see if Open Book can be April 22 from 3 – 5 pm and BOR at least 14 days later.

Tax Penalty:  A resident was charged a tax penalty because they allege that they did not receive a tax bill and did not pay the taxes on that parcel because they didn’t get the bill.  The resident also called and berated the Treasurer, which was unnecessary and uncalled for.  The board has no intention of refunding the delinquent charges of $3.73.  As per Wisconsin Statute 74.09(6), failure to receive a property tax bill does not relieve taxpayers of their obligation to pay their taxes in a timely manner, nor does it negate interest and penalty charges that may accrue.  The Clerk will send a letter to the resident with the board’s decision.

Property Line/Fencing Issues:  According to the WTA lawyers the board has to meet with the neighbor before they can send out a registered letter.  The Chairman and some of the board met with Dave Hamel’s neighbors, The Sankeys.  They said that they are going to put up a solid board fence with electric inside.  It will be put up by the end of June 2024.  If they do not get it up by then the board will send them a registered letter.

Pay current bills:  A motion was made by Dan, seconded by Wayne, to pay the current bills.  Motion carried. 

Old Business:  The Clerk drafted donation letters for the WTA meeting that will be mailed out. 

New Business:  Wayne was wondering if we should put a duct in the meeting room as there currently is not one and it is sometimes cold in the meeting area.  Paul will call Comfort Aire to find out about installing that as they put in the new furnace in 2021.

Public Input:  Chris Ferkey inquired about if the solar project in the Town will require the parcel to be re-zoned non agricultural.  That will be up to the assessor.

Next agenda items:  BOR dates, Road Contracts, Annual Meeting Wage Review

Next meeting date:  April 16, 2024 @ 7:00 p.m.

Adjournment:  A motion was made by Wayne, seconded by Dan, to adjourn the meeting.  Motion carried.  The meeting was adjourned by Chairman, Paul Goldberg, at 7:57 p.m.
