Supervisor Magley made a motion to accept the treasurer’s report and Supervisor Campbell seconded it. AT the regular meeting for November 6, 2024, the Amberg Plan Commission began the process of reviewing the 2030 comprehensive plan. The plan was implemented in 2005, and must by state law be reviewed every 10 years. It is expected to take several months. The commissioners read the plan at the meeting as an overview, but will read in more detail over the next month. They will then discuss it at the next meeting. The Fire Dept has a little over $7600 in their checkbook. They had one car accident and a couple of lift assists. Mark Wisnewski was absent from the meeting so there is not Rescue Squad report. The road dept has been patching and putting gravel down. One of the engine parts broke loose on the blower and it would cost more to rebuild than to get a new one. New engine is $1800 + shipping and a new blower is $2600 + shipping. It is used quite a bit. Supervisor Magley made a motion to get a new engine and Supervisor Campbell seconded it. Trees are down in the cemetery and all stumps are ground. Supervisor Magley would like Nutt Rd and Old 38 changed over to Class B weight limits and signs put up. Clerk Ducat will put a message on the website regarding the culverts going in next week. The Parks and Rec are grateful for all the volunteers and businesses who helped make Trunk and Treat a success. There were 320 Trick or Treaters. They would like the town to recognize Barb Magley as the next treasurer of the Parks and Rec committee. Chairman Sagan made a motion to accept Barb Magley as treasurer of the Parks and Rec committee and Supervisor Campbell seconded it. Supervisor Campbell made a motion to accept 17 years of age as the age limit to be a member of the Parks and Rec committee and Supervisor Magley seconded it. Bylaws will be updated accordingly. Tilly Wollenberg is requesting the Parks and Rec committee for half of the reimbursement to her for as she was scammed in purchasing a container for the Parks and Rec committee. Supervisor Campbell made a motion for full reimbursement and Supervisor Magley seconded it. They will amend that no wire transfers be made for reimbursement so this doesn’t happen again.
