Chairman Pohl called three times for public input seeing none, public input was closed. Discussion of request from TR School District regarding putting a line item on the tax bill or insert. The information was provided to the board and those in attendance and consideration will be given to this request and will be acted on at the October meeting. County Treasurer has advised us that this cannot go as a line item on the tax bill at this time. All districts have to agree to it, and the cost of the insert would be covered by the school districts and provided to our clerk/treasurer in a timely manner. C ity of Two Rivers has decided to go ahead with changing their own tax bills, so they control what will go on it. City of Manitowoc has not made a decision. Citizen at meeting suggested that it would be a good informational item for the residents. Tabled for October meeting. Continued discussion for options of moving forward with the City of Two Rivers. The cost will be increased from what we currently pay of $17.28 per capita-which means per person (this would have been the amount in 2027) and this does not include our costs which would be between $4. 00 and $5.00 per person and the cost for the City to respond with paramedic service to our residents would be $72.50 which will include capital costs into the future with a 5% increase each year for a 5 year contract. Our tax levy would have to be increased to cover this service to not put any of our other services in jeopardy, such as roadwork and fire services. A motion was made by Chase and a second from Petska to move forward with a contract with the City of Two Rivers Ambulance Service. Motion carried. We will be in contact with our attorney with regard to breach of contract as the Mish icot Area Ambulance Service is not filling shifts and City of Two Rivers is covering shifts and we do not have anything in our contract with MAAS that they can contract out for service. The financials were reviewed and placed on file with a motion from Chase and seconded by Petska, motion carried. A note was made by Clark/Treasurer Timm that we received approximately $7,000 from the state for the snow emergency that was in March 2026 to cover so me of our costs, including what we paid to Manitowoc County for their service on Hillcrest Road along with our staff overtime and supplies.
