TOWN OF PORT EDWARDS SPECIAL BOARD MEETING MINUTES Date: March 31st, 2022 Call to Order: Chairman Randy Moody called the Special Town Board Meeting to order at 10 a.m. in the Town Hall. The Pledge of Allegiance was not delivered as it was just the three members of the Town government present. 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, Supervisor Jeff O’Donnell, Clerk Michelle Sorenson. Agenda: Call meeting to order Accept the agenda Approve the purchase of a grader Decide on method of transport for a grader Public input Adjourn Motion was made by O’Donnell and seconded by Moody to approve the agenda. Motion carried. Grader purchase: A 1998 grader was found on the Wisconsin Surplus website by Wood County. Chairman Moody was contacted by them with its information. After examining the information online through the Wisconsin Surplus website, Moody sent Al Goodness and John Dupuis of the road crew down to Blue Mound, Wisconsin, to inspect the grader. Al and John were able to drive the grader and conduct an in-person inspection of the piece of equipment. Unfortunately, the tires from the Town’s previous grader will not fit this grader but the grader itself was in good condition and would serve the needs of the Town. Moody set up an account in Wisconsin Surplus and bid on the grader with the winning bid being a total of $38,448.00. Moody made a motion to approve the payment of this winning bid. O’Donnell seconded the motion and it carried. Grader transportation: Now that the grader is purchased, we needed a way to get it to the Town Hall garage. Moody made some telephone calls to various area shippers. Dean Altman Trucking called Moody back informing him that they had a truck going down to the Blue Mound area and would have space on the return trip for the grader saving the Town for having to pay for trucking both ways. Moody made a motion to approve having Dean Altman Trucking bring the grader back from Blue Mound, Wisconsin. O’Donnell seconded said motion and motion carried. Public input: There was none. Adjourn: O’Donnell made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 10:17 a.m. and Moody seconded. All were in favor and the motion carried. Respectfully submitted, Michelle Sorenson, Clerk 1
