Tania Wadzinski spoke about the meeting held by OMNI at the Town Hall on July 31st. This was regarding the County N road project. She was very dissatisfied with their presentation and lack of professionalism. She felt they did not represent the County’s interest at all, in regards to the project. Asked if the County Highway Superintendent would come visit the residents affected by the project.
Business:
Board of Review took place on August 2nd. Board of Review members present were: Beyer, Bonikowske and J. Beyer. Moede was absent. There was one objectioner, who waived his notice of hearing. The hearing took place, and the value of his property now reflects the fact that his buildings were razed.

Moved by Beyer/Bonikowske to adopt Resolution 19-CP-8, to amend the Zoning Map was Carried.

Roads: Beyer reported Swan Road is completed; Butternut Rd ditching is done- no washing after the last heavy rain. Cemetery Rd trees removed after the storm- no chipping needed as the trees were from outside of the right of way, so the County pushed them back from where they came. Spraying for the wild parsnips got put off due to the storm damage and clean up. Beyer will check with an agronomist to see if it pays to do it yet, or if they are past the stage were spray will work, and adjust accordingly.
Since the total bills for the Town did not meet the minimum threshold for the Town, we don’t meet the criteria to apply for disaster aids. Total spent at meeting time is under $1,000.
One Budget Amendment for consideration: # 19-BA-01 for $150.00 moved from General Government to the Landfill Monitor account. Bonikowske/Beyer to approve the amendment. Carried.

Visitor Input: Vernon Fahser brought up concerns as to all the garbage/litter that is found on Fahser’s Bridge and the boat landing. He cleans the area and hauls away the litter only to have it repeated over and over again. Board advised that he call the Sheriff’s department to report when citizens are misusing the area.
Rick and Barb Van Handel had concerns as to when Omni would be contacting the residents along County Rd N regarding the reconstruction of the county highway. They also expressed their concerns of loss of acreage and how that would affect the value of their property.
Due to weather Assessor Kathy Bazile phoned into the meeting at 7:30 pm rather then to appear in person and was placed on speaker for all to hear. She explained that a re-evaluation has not taken place in 25 years. She will start the field work this fall and letters would be mailed to all land owners. She is not allowed to use drones. With the New Trepass Law, home owners do have the right to refuse her entry into a home and onto their land. At that point she would take an educated guess as to the value. Total town re-evaluation will be completed to allow board of review in August if not prior to that. If the resident would come to board of review the burden of proof of value would fall on the owner if they would dispute the value. If anyone has questions regarding the re-evaluation process she would encourage them to email her at kathy.mkllc@gmail.com
