New Business: Discussion with Sheriff Becker regarding Public Nuisance ordinance, citations, fees, processes, and relevant matters: Sheriff Shawn Becker and Lieutenant Kalvin Dorshorst introduced themselves. They will be working with the Town on enforcing the Nuisance citations in the future, and requested discussion with the Board regarding setting more definitive fees for the citations. Discussion of the current ordinance fee ranges and expected regular court costs followed. The Board suggested citations at First Offense $100 plus costs, Second Offense $200 plus costs, Third Offense $250 plus costs, and Fourth and Subsequent Offenses $300 plus costs. Lieutenant Dorshorst noted costs would typically run about $114.50 per citation. Discussion followed regarding citations being sent by certified mail, timeframes given with the citations, and the Board noted this would be set on a case-by-case basis due to varying factors, and they would be working with the Sheriff’s Department on each individual citation. Supervisor Jensen will be the Board contact regarding these issues. Sheriff Becker mentioned the importance of informing the Clerk of Courts of the name of the Town’s attorney, so they are informed regarding cases as necessary. It was noted that the fees will increase according to the number of citations given in a year, and a citation year starts from the date of the first citation issued, and not a basic calendar year. Jensen motioned to approve the proposed citation fees at First Offense $100 plus costs, Second Offense $200 plus costs, Third Offense $250 plus costs, Fourth and Subsequent Offenses $300 plus costs. Schmidt seconded said motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. This process will require some implementation time; Sheriff Becker will inform Supervisor Jensen of their status in working on the citations.
