The Town is ready to pursue legal action if the Kellnhofer’s fail to meet the deadline. 1 Correspondence: We received a copy of a sanitation permit application for Chad Baumgart from Wood County Planning and Zoning. A fire call was reviewed. The call was to Priscilla Smith’s for a chemical smell. The Board decided to bill Priscilla $50.00 as allowed by the Fire Call billing ordinance. We received an acknowledgment that we have adopted the Wisconsin Municipal Records Schedule. We can now proceed with passing a record retention ordinance. The 90/10 application due date is December 6th, 2019. If awarded we have up to six years to use it. New Business: The question was raised if there could be a speed limit sign posted on Wilhorn Road from County Highway G to Kimball. The Town will post 45mph speed limit signs. C. Oleson is having issues with his neighbor’s dog. Constable will refer him to Wood County Sheriff’s department if he receives more calls in the future. Old Business: There was none. Public input: There were two questions regarding roads. The first was wondering if the Lynn Hill Road reconstruction is still on the schedule for next year. The answer is yes. The other question was asking if Wysocki’s were going to donate anything towards the reconstruction of Nessa Lane when the time comes. The Board does not believe Wysocki’s will be donating anything towards that project.

The meeting will be conducted at the Town Hall. Adjourn: Schmidt made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:41p.m. and O’Donnell seconded. All were in favor and the motion carried. Respectfully submitted, Michelle Sorenson, Clerk 2
