TOWN OF PORT EDWARDS BUDGET PREP BOARD MEETING MINUTES Date: October 17th, 2022 Call to Order: Chairman Randy Moody called the budget prep Board Meeting to order at 6:00p.m. in the Town Hall. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Meeting Certification: This meeting has been properly posted (on the Town’s three posting boards, and on the Town Hall door), to notify the public of date, place, time, and agenda. Attendance: Chairman Randy Moody, Supervisors Tim Schmidt and Jeff O’Donnell, Clerk Michelle Sorenson, Treasurer Kathy Reese. Two people from the public were also in attendance. Agenda: Prepare 2023 Town budget Change November meeting date if needed Adjourn Road Closure: Moody was approached by a woman who wanted to know if it would be possible for the Town to close Swanson Road from noon until 7p.m. for a benefit (re: Casey Wulf) that is planned. The organizers would like to have a car/motorcycle show along that road. The board was in agreement that a road closure, especially Swanson Road, was not feasible. Moody will advise the party making the request of the board’s decision. Road Plan: Moody put together a revised road plan through 2033. The board reviewed the plan. Public Works Wages Expenditures: Highway Superintendent would like to see the Town hire a permanent part time employee. Currently the guys he usually calls on when help is needed have been working other jobs (cranberry harvest) and snow fence needs to be put up. The board feels a permanent part time employee isn’t in the budget at this time. O’Donnell suggested snow fence might be something Emergency Management would do. Schmidt will contact Emergency Management to inquire about the possibility of inmates putting in snow fence. Budget: Budget was reviewed. The Clerk made known her frustration with the budget form and its process. Every line item was examined and numbers were agreed upon until the very end of the meeting. Meeting was adjourned without a completed budget. The Clerk will compile what was discussed during the meeting and email the board in the coming days. November Meeting: The date for the Public Hearing, Special Meeting, and Monthly was changed to November 14th, 2022. Meetings will begin at 6p.m. in the Town Hall. Adjourn: O’Donnell made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:50p.m. and Schmidt seconded. All were in favor and the motion carried. Respectfully submitted, Michelle Sorenson, Clerk 1 TOWN OF PORT EDWARDS 2ND BUDGET PREP BOARD MEETING MINUTES Date: October 25th, 2022 Call to Order: Chairman Randy Moody called the budget prep Board Meeting to order at 6:00p.m. in the Town Hall.
