Sanitary Board Appointment: Kevin motioned, seconded by Fred to appoint Lori Anderson as the clerk/treasurer after Evan Maki resigned, motion carried. Lori is retiring from Iron River Sanitary District in October, so she has great experience and is also a licensed operator as a backup. Old Business: Garage Progress Report: The contractor parted ways with the sub-contractor for concrete work, which has caused some delays. Work is resuming with plumbing work currently being done. 2 Lift Station Project: The SD was unable to get out of completing the project to move the sanitary line when the WisDOT replaces a culvert with a bridge on Hwy 27 over Sandy Run.. They need to remove the line from over the culvert, directional bore it under the stream and construct a lift station to bring it back up to the surface. DOT provided a $380,000 loan for the project with 0% interest for the first 10 years and 2.634% for the last 10 years. JGJ Dirt is the contractor. They capped the line and started bypass pumping on 8/9. They will complete the lift station as soon as the equipment is delivered, as it has a 10-12 week estimated delivery time. The bridge replacement is expected to take 60 days. Town correspondence was reviewed. Adam motioned, seconded by Kevin to adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 7:25 PM. Respectfully submitted, Diane Nelson, Clerk
