Chairman Moede called the regular monthly meeting to Order at 7:00 pm. Roll call showed Moede, Beyer, Bonikowske, Wilz and Beyer present. There were 1 resident and three visitors present.
Bonikowske/ Beyer to approve the Agenda. Motion Carried.
Moede/Bonikowske to approve the June, 2020 minutes. Motion Carried.
Treasurer Wilz gave the fund balances. The Treasurer and Clerk both reconciled to the bank statement. Moede/Beyer to approve the report. Motion Carried.
Constable Report: Moede reported goats at large issue seems to be resolved. Beyer reported a mess of garbage at the landing at Fahser’s Bridge. Moede reported same; his daughters went over and bagged up the garbage that was left behind. Beyer/ Bonikowske to approve the Constables Report. Carried.
Visitors: James Thiel was present to discuss the water problem coming from the City, stating he believes it is coming from the retention ponds by Treehouse Foods. He has contacted the City, Waupaca County Land and Water, the DNR. The only suggestion he was given was to put in a retention pond at his own expense. Another land owner/resident in the town is being adversely affected by this lack of runoff control, and has had to dig a new well. Thiel stated the water is rushing to a degree that he has had approximately two acres of topsoil displaced; this is affecting his farmland and the crop for his land renter. He also said there is a deep washout, making it dangerous for any type of vehicle to get in or out of the field. The Board stated they would contact relevant agencies and see what can be done to help.
Business:
Fahser’s Bridge and the garbage issue brought two city residents to the meeting. The Cheever’s stated they go to the landing often to allow their kids to swim. They have tried to urge people to clean up, and they themselves have picked up while there. They were against closing the landing. Moede stated he went there on the prior weekend and told some litterers to clean up after themselves. The Sheriff’s Department has been there writing citations. None of these efforts seem to have a lasting effect. The use of surveillance cameras and working with Sheriff’s Department for citations seemed to be the most promising fix.
The Town received a letter from Waupaca County Highway Department, asking for a 5 year commitment to their services. The Board felt it was premature to lock in for that amount of time without seeing the actual commitment. The Clerk was asked to send an email to the County, letting them know we would be happy to review their proposed commitment.
There will be a Planning Commission Meeting scheduled to review and recommend to the Board, the Conditional Use Permit request from Melinda Moede for a home business. This will be scheduled as soon as the Committee can meet.
Land Use permits were reviewed. 3 building permits were issued. There was one UDC permit from the new Inspector, along with one for the City of Manawa. The Clerk will work with the inspector to get that corrected. The Board would like to have Mr. Hermes come to the next meeting; Clerk will invite.
Next Fire Board meeting is on Tuesday, July 21st at 6 pm. The Fire Board meeting is open to the Public.
Building Maintenance: Fire extinguishers have been serviced by Ahern. Propane prices are still moving; Sup. Beyer watching. The estimate for a generator for the Town Hall was received. There were 3 different sizes quoted. There are a few questions about size, brand, etc. that were asked. Beyer will get the answers and it will be an August agenda item. The toilets in the two restrooms are not in good repair anymore, and should be replaced. Estimates for this project will be sought; also an August agenda item.
Roads- Beyer continues to work with Highway Department staff to develop a plan for Swamp Road project. Duane Abrahamson called Beyer to report a large breakup on North Water Drive. He took over a bucket load of gravel to fill it in, so nobody lost a wheel in it. Beyer spoke about damage on Mouse Creek Road, due to water coming from town of Lebanon ditching. Moede will contact Lebanon’s Town Chair and discuss the expense. Beyer spoke with the Town Attorney regarding trees on Pine Crest, on the Towns land. Moede will go over and speak with adjoining land owners about the issue.

Beyer stated she has some good photos of examples used by other municipalities that could be constructed. J.Beyer/Wilz to approve the construction of two plexiglass shields for use during future tax collection and elections. Carried with 6 yes votes, 0 no votes. A discussion took place about acquiring a generator for the Town Hall in case of a weather or other event leaving people without power. The town hall could be used as a source for water or warming if it became necessary. Or to keep the town hall open and running during an election if there is a widespread power outage. R. Beyer will get prices and options for hook up and bring to the June town board meeting.
Roads: the revenue stream for the year was discussed. With the second tax payment being delayed by the state, the possibility of the towns budgeted incomes being delayed as well was discussed. David Bree was present to ask when Swamp road was going to be maintained and made passable. The signs and posts that were put in need to be removed, which had been blocking the road. The courts have decided it is a town road, and the town has to keep it passable. The budgetary constraints were brought up, and the additional expenses on Swamp road will take monies away from other planned projects. The town will get the surveyor in to mark the actual ends and right of ways. Some right of way posts were put in and have been removed. These will need to be reinstalled. The town will have gravel put in where needed, and a turnaround will need to be put in, so the county trucks are able to get in and out when doing work. Mr. Bree said we had covered all of his concerns this night.
Recodification of Town Ordinances: J. Beyer spoke about having the Town Ordinance book recodified. Simply put, it would be edited to take out outdated ordinances, or those that state law covers. Then all of the ordinances would be put in digital format and cleaned up. The cost would need to be estimated by the companies that offer this service. The board felt it should wait till next year, due to the budget and revenue uncertainties right now, because of the Covid pandemic.
Salaries and per diems were reviewed. The board members felt they were sufficient.
Public Comment: Tania Wadzynski asked if the Town was aware that the Hass pit on Swan Road was going to be supplying the County with sand, and wondered if Swan Road was going to be used for hauling. The town had not been informed of the use, but stated the 6 ton weight limit is in force, and the County will follow that, unless they are hauling to a job for the town, in the town. The board was hopeful that the county highway department would communicate with them prior to starting any projects.
The next Annual Meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, April 20, 2021 at 7:00 pm.
Moede/Beyer to adjourn the Annual Meeting. Carried. Meeting was adjourned at 8:50 pm.
