Meenon Town Board Meeting Minutes July 15, 2024 The regular monthly meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. by Chairman Sybers. Notice was posted in accordance with Wis. Stats. 19.84 Open Meeting Law. Public Comments: None at this time. Approval of agenda order – motion by Strese to approve the agenda order, seconded by O’Brien. Motion carried. It was noted that the next Town Meeting will be held on Monday, August 19, 2024. Police Report: Officer Pardun was present and discussed the property on County Rd FF. A ticket has been issued to the landowner as well as a ticket to the homeowner on Kruger Road. There was not discussion in regard to the Concerned Citizens of Meenon. Sex Offender Ordinance: The County Land Office is working on getting us a map to be used with the sex offender ordinance when that is approved. Question still remains on who checks to see who is registered as a sex offender in Meenon Township. LUPC: Ruth Kratzer and Nels Koerper presented and discussed with the Board MEN-CUP-24-03 from Erickson Family Investments, Inc. The Board indicated that Mr. Erickson should put up a new fire number (not the same one as the Bar) and have a number on each lot. On a motion by O’Brien, seconded by Strese, MEN-CUP-24-03 was approved with the Board’s additions. Kratzer and Koerper also presented and discussed with the Board MEN-MAP-24-02R from Mike, Mason, and Janel Gustafson. It was explained that this request does not have access from the highway to the storage unit (via DOT). Gustafson’s plan on using a private driveway to get to the storage unit will not work. The Board’s suggestion was “put the unit on the commercial lot and have the driveway come off of Kruger Road through the A2 Section and present it to the LUPC again. Both the LUPC and the Board denied the request until those changes have been made. Peterson Road – Monarch Bid: The bid was discussed. After much discussion Strese made the motion to accept the bid of $134,237.00, seconded by O’Brien. Motion carried. The Board was presented with a Contract from Apex Engineering for Level1 and Level 2 Alterations to the joint town hall. Each township will pay $3,000.00 for the services. Motion by O’Brien to approve the contract, seconded by Strese, motion carried. Motion by Strese to approve the June, 2024 minutes as presented. Seconded by O’Brien, motion carried. Motion by O’Brien to approve the June, 2024 Treasurer’s report, seconded by Strese. Motion carried. Supervisors Reports: Strese – the X-Ray room in the joint town hall has been emptied and ready for the townships to use for storage. We still need to find the culvert markers. How are we going to find them? Chairman’s Report: Star Wire put in fiber optics on Old 35 and messed up the shoulders. Strese and Sybers will go out and check them. Midtown Boat Landing is ours, not the counties. North Dam going into the park will be paved by the Forestry Department. North Dam has trees in the ditches as well as Pike Bend Road, Corcoran Road on the West side (Lincoln’s half of the road), also, before Stengel on N Bass Lake Road (between highway 35 and Stengel), Connors Bridge Road has some dead trees that should be taken care of. There are also dead trees on Pike Bend before Mansfield. Sybers spoke with Steve Washkuhn from Lincoln about Fairgrounds road, they are going to Chip Seal from FF to Helsene, they are wondering if we will do the rest. Spray patching on Fairgrounds Road, thumpers need to be fixed, Chip Stengel and Stengel to Peterson Road, then from Peterson Road to E Bass Lake Drive. Also like to finish Pike Bend from Mansfield to the Highway. Walberg Road needs work, Shady Oaks needs crack sealing. We also should throw some blacktop on Jamison Road to the Oakland Line. Peterson Road east around curves there are a couple of holes that should be taken care of and also on Pike Bend by the town hall. Items for next meeting: normal items. Motion to pay the bills by Strese, seconded by O’Brien. Motion carried. Adjourned at 7:53 p.m. DRAFT copy until approval at the August 2024 meeting.
