PUBLIC COMMENTS Bob Savignac spoke regarding the town’s new No Powerloading Ordinance (2024-1), questioning if signs at the boat launches are needed because no one will read them. Unless there is a law enforcement officer always watching, people will do it anyway. He suggested adding more cement to the boat launch pad by dropping a slab of concrete in the water. He believes there will be lines of boats waiting if people are unable to “powerload” onto their trailers. Chairman Walejko stated the Waushara County Highway Department will start working on Chicago Pt. Road and Fr. Ed Bier Drive sometime this August. Sealcoating roads will begin on July 1st.
