June Town Board Meeting — Minutes

Town of Caledonia Town Board Meeting Minutes June 15, 2026 In attendance: Chairperson Abba, Supervisor Bosquez, Supervisor Knuth, Clerk|Treasurer Snyder, and 4 guests. Excused: Deputy Clerk|Treasurer Kircher Chairperson Abba called the meeting to order at 6pm Public Forum: Renee Hosket introduced herself as a candidate for Waupaca County Clerk of Circuit Courts Old Business: ● .gov website: Snyder explained that the town is looking into getting a .gov website to add legitimacy to the website, as is recommended by the elections commission. The federal government oversees .gov registration. Due to the number of Caledonia’s in WI, we would need to have the website address of: townofcaledoniawaupacacountywi.gov which is prohibitively long. Snyder will look into a wi.gov website through the state and see if we can get a website address that is more viable. If not, we’ll continue to use our townofcaledonia.com address. Action Items: ● Motion to approve minutes of the 5/18/2026 Town Board Meeting. Motion carried. ● Discussed reducing the Cut Off Rd speed limit from 55 to 45 in the Caledonia maintenance sections. Per DOT rules, this is allowed with justification. Bosquez will take lead on this. Also discussed reducing the speed on Steinberg Rd from 45 to 35. This is a more complex process that requires the DOT to approve the change. Knuth will take the lead. ● Snyder explained the need for a Town Amazon Prime account.
