The Board signed said resolution and clerk will post and mail to our representatives. ATV/UTV Route Signing: ATV group should have enough signs for whatever the Town needs done. ATV group will have volunteers’ erect signs at the boundaries of the entrances to the Town. They should be able to have it done within a month’s time. Correspondence: Clerk received a sanitation permit for Linda Goodwin on Kimball Avenue. And paperwork was received showing that a Ho-Chunk Nation parcel was becoming part of the reservation. Old Business: Culverts are in on Creamery Road. The extra culvert was decided against. Instead, ditching has started from Ron Arendt’s property back to the bridge. The spoils are just being dumped on Ron’s property so there will be no cost for trucking. Al will wheel off Grunewald Lane so we have a length of the road. Topic was tabled until next meeting.

Discussion of the air conditioning unit will be added to next month’s agenda.
