Cherek shared a Declaration of Official Intent for payment of the 2026 Highway 107 Project. It states the
Village used cash funds to pay for project and if, in 3 years, the Village runs into a cash flow issue, they
have the option to turn the cash flow payment into a borrowing loan to replenish the cash supply.
MOTION – Approve Declaration of Official Intent 2026-08-05A – STH 107 Reconstruction

Motion made by Paul second by Parlier. Motion passed by voice vote.
d) Discuss and Approve Proposed 2027 Fire & EMS Department Budgets
The Village and Towns of Cassel, Rib Falls and Stettin will pay an increase of approximately 2% in fire
protection fees proportionately distributed to equalized values. The Village’s section fee will go up
$1,421.63. The 2027 Fire Contract Budget is proposed at $189,270.00. Increases in wages due to a trend
in larger call volumes, utilities and fuel contributed to an overall expenditure increase of 4.26%, totaling
$142,181.49 in operating expenses. The Proposed Budget reflects the approved move of the Public Fire
Protection fees (Hydrant Rental expenses) off the taxes and 100% on to the utility.
The proposed EMS Budget remains the same at $43,833.87 in expenditures. These expenditures will be
paid for by the Village (about 72%) and the Towns of Marathon, Cassel and Stettin paying 28% jointly. The
Village will pay approximately $3,600 more in 2027 due to the 2025 call volume in the Village increasing
compared to the townships. The Village pays for the ambulance service of $10,913 through a contract with
Edgar EMS approved at the April 1, 2026 meeting.
Proposed 2027 Fire/EMS Revenues of $151,479.07 and Expenditures of $265,393.60.
MOTION – Approve Proposed 2027 Fire & EMS Departments Budgets and Contract Rates
Motion made by Paul second by Sorenson. Motion made by voice vote.
e) Discuss and Approve Proposed 2027 Parks Budget
Cherek presented a preliminary parks budget to assist in setting the 2027 Use Agreements with the ball
groups. He noted a 9% expenditure difference with the 2026 budget and proposed increasing contracts by
9% or $1,831. Part of that increase includes budgeting $2,000 for equipment replacement in a capital
improvement fund. The Village will shift 3% of mowing expense to the clubs to pay for. Board members
would like to see a more defined 5-year schedule of the mowing subsidization. Cherek’s proposed parks
revenue will increase by 4% with the ball club contracts, sponsorship revenue and Veterans Park rental
revenue from the Farmer’s Market and Fundays.
MOTION – Approve the Parks Revenue Increase and Advise Cherek to Move Forward with the
Ballpark User Agreements at the 9% Increase
Motion made by Sorenson second by Ahrens. Motion passed by voice vote.
f) Discuss and Approve Sourcewell Purchase of Ventrac Tractor, Cab and Mower Attachment
*Moved to After Item 5
Cherek, along with Street Superintendent Trice, informed the Board that during the major 30” snowstorm in
March, the Village’s 1994 Stiener tractor broke down and has been inoperable since. It is past the point of
repair. Cherek shared a quote of $45,034 for a new Ventrac tractor including cab and mower attachments.
The Village is expected to receive a Wisconsin Emergency Management Disaster Fund Grant
reimbursement of about $16,851 from the snow event. Cherek noted the Capital Improvement Fund interest
earnings total $34,149 and proposed using $28,183 of those earnings along with the Grant earnings to
purchase the new Ventrac tractor. He suggested the remainder of the interest earnings for the year be
allocated toward the Utility Fund, stating a large sum of the money in the CIP LGIP account is due to the
Cure-In-Place Piping project.
MOTION – Approve Purchase of New Ventrac with Cab and Mower Attachments Using WDF Grant
Reimbursement and Capital Improvement Plan LGIP Interest Earnings
Motion made by Paul second by Parlier. Motion passed by voice vote.
g) Discuss and Approve Conditional use permit for St. Matthews Church

h) Discuss and Possible Action on Building Permit – Unclassified Structure

classification of use. He took it to the Plan Commission on August 3rd to determine what sheds/storage
buildings are as those are permitted in the code of ordinances however not defined as to what they are. The
Plan Commission forwarded it to the Village Board to determine ordinance language. Board members held
a lengthy discussion about what the definition of a shed/storage structure is with no outcome made. They
requested the resident submit plans to go along with the building permit for the shed they intend to install.

the next 3 years with full reimbursement in 2029. Another 1-time budget amendment to transfer $10,000

IT IS THEREFORE, ORDERED AND RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
Commencing upon the date hereof, a Conditional Use Permit for the Subject Property is
hereby granted as set forth herein. The Conditional Use Permit granted herein shall apply only to
the specific use of the Subject Property by St. Matthews Lutheran Church, and the Conditional
Use Permit shall continue and exist only so long as the Subject P roperty is operated in strict
compliance with the terms of this Permit. This Conditional Use Permit is subject to initial and
continued compliance with each and every one of the following conditions, restrictions, and
limitations:
1. This Conditional Use Permit is granted to allow an electronic message sign as
depicted in the application, to be constructed as set forth in the application and
related materials under the following conditions:
A. Illumination Restrictions:
(i) Illumination shall be designed and maintained to eliminate negative impacts on
surrounding rights-of-way and properties. The light from an illuminated sign shall
not be of an intensity or brightness that will create a negative impact on property
uses in direct line-of-sight to the sign.
(ii) Flashing, flickering and/or other lighting which may distract motorists are
prohibited.
(iii) The sign shall comply with the applicable provisions of the electrical
code as adopted by the Village and must be UL Listed.
-3-
(iv) The s ign shall not be illuminated in a manner that interferes with (including
glaring or blinding), misleads or confuses traffic.
(v) External light sources shall be directed and shielded to limit direct illumination
of any object other than the sign.
(vi) In no instance shall the amount of illumination attributable to the sign, as
measured a distance of 10 inches from the face, exceed 60 foot -candles above
ambient lighting conditions.
(vii) In no case, with all lighting components energized, shall the lighting intensity
of any sign, whether resulting from internal or external illumination, exceed 60 feet
candles when measured with a standard light meter held at a distance of ten inches
from the sign face.
(viii) The electronic message portion of the sign shall not exceed 0.3 footcandles
above ambient light conditions measured from a distance based on the area of the
sign [measurement distance = √ (Area of Sign Sq. Ft. x 100)], perpendicular to the
sign face, and using an illuminance meter capable of accuracy of two decimals.
Example: A 24 square foot electronic message center would be limited to 0.3
footcandles when measured at a distance of 49 feet. Measurement Distance =
√(24*100) = 49 feet.
(vx) The sign shall be equipped with photosensitive equipment which
automatically adjusts the brightness and contrast of the sign in direct relation to the
ambient outdoor illumination.
(x) Messages displayed on the sign shall not change, scroll, flash, rotate or
otherwise transition more frequently than once every four (4) seconds.
B. Time Restrictions: The electronic message board shall be turned off, or otherwise
not illuminated, between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. No messages or light
emitted from the sign shall be visible during these hours.

only so long as it continues to own in fee simple the Subject Property. This
Conditional Use Permit is not transferrable to any other person or entity without
the prior approval of the Village.

other related professional services as well as for any actions the Village is required
to take to enforce any of the conditions in this Conditional Use Permit due to a
violation of these conditions by the Applicant.
6. Any use not specifically listed as permitted shall be considered to be prohibited
except as maybe otherwise specifically provided herein. In case of a question as to
the classification of use, the question shall be submitted to the Plan Commission
for recommendation and Village Board for determination.
7. No use is hereby authorized unless the use is conducted in a lawful, orderly, and

a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, illegal, or unconstitutional, said
determination as to the particular phrase or paragraph shall not void the remainder
of this Conditional Use and the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.

Good Afternoon, Steve,
The Marathon County Health Department is interested in having our branch host a Naloxone box, which
would be supplied with the items listed in the attached photo. With your permission, Marathon County
Facilities will install the box in an area that is accessible to the public but not intrusive. I suggest the
installation of the box be in the entryway of the library on the left wall in the corner by the interior window.
The Marathon County Health Department will be responsible for maintaining and replenishing the box.
We will let them know when supplies run low.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on helping with this Marathon County initiative!
Thank you,
Lisa Haessly

Steve,
After interviewing Dylan Behnke I would like to make a recommendation to the Village Board to accept
bringing him on as Cadet.
Dylan is a Junior at Marathon High School and is interested in becoming a firefighter in the future. He is
eager to learn and help. He is familiar with the Department because his father has been a member since
2002.
I feel that Dylan will be a great addition to our department as a Cadet to start learning and training with
us.
Thank you.
