There are currently 4 areas noted for nuisance violations. Once we hear from Wood County we can move forward with the citations. It was recommended by the attorney that the Town not issue citations due to the legalities, but to have an officer issue citations. Chairman Moody will also discuss this issue with other Towns at the upcoming Wisconsin Towns Association Meeting for input. Will also discuss with the Towns Attorney, Nick Abst, the option of sending a letter to the violators. Public Input: Attorney, Rick Bender addressed the Board on behalf of Brian Ruesch regarding a pending divided 30-acre parcel sale. Discussion followed regarding the allowance to build a home on a portion of the parcel. The Town’s attorney will be contacted regarding this issue. This will be readdressed at the next Town Board meeting. If a definite answer is discovered prior to the next meeting, Brian and/or Attorney Bender will be contacted. There was a question about the Town’s revenue in April versus other months. Treasurer Reese explained how the Town income varies from month-to-month depending on payments from the state, grants, credits received, etc. Topics for Future Discussion: None noted. Adjourn: Being no other business to conduct, Schmidt made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:55p.m. and Jensen seconded. All were in favor and the motion carried. Respectfully submitted, Tracey Draper, Clerk
