Deputy Sheriff’s Report Deputy Sheriff Weber indicated he is still waiting to hear from Sondalle about the parking brake switch for the squad. The laser gun we have is from 2005 and is no longer working. Chairman Walejko suggested we get a loaner from the county, and look into pricing for a new one. Chairman Walejko stated that Waushara County has an ordinance for unused, unmoveable, unlicensed vehicles kept on properties. He asked Deputy Sheriff Weber to visit them and issue a two-week warning letter. If it has not been taken care of in that time frame, then issue a ticket. PUBLIC COMMENTS Ed Kissinger asked that next year we notify Blackhawk to place the buoy that reads “Slow No Wake” by Foxtail Point, and the other one that reads “Slow – Rocks” at the other buoy location. He also requested a new buoy with a blinking red light be placed at the sandbar next year if the lake is as low as it is now, which is down 18 inches. He would also like to see the trailer parking fee raised from $5 to $10 daily, but keeping the cost of the annual sticker at $25. Supervisor Behnke will have to be in attendance to vote.
