August Board of Supervisors Meeting — Minutes

Town of Milladore Supervisors Meeting August 4. 2024 Minutes The meeting was called to order by Ned Ruesch with the Pledge of Allegiance. The secretaries report was read. A motion was moved by Joel to accept. Seconded by Hank. Motion approved. The treasurer report was received. Old Business: The new website is up and running. The clerk went over a few of the new features. We encourage people to sign up with the new site to receive notifications. The Smokey Hill Rd project is near completion. This project was done in part with funds we received from a grant with the DNR. We continue to work with the Town of Sherry for the joint recycling center. The clerk and treasurer will review bills sent each month. Bids have been solicited for the new well. We anticipate it being around $10,000. We hope to get this project underway in the coming months. New Business: The board discussed an update to Resolution 1 passed into town law in 2022 regarding legal postings. A motion was made by Ned to update this to reflect that in a case where it is not possible to post on the website, Swetz, or town hall, we will use the alternate posting places of the recycling center and/or Lonely Oak Farms to meet the 3 places required. Seconded by Joel. Motion approved. The Partisan Primary will be held on August 13, 2024. The public test of election equipment will be done after the August 4 supervisor meeting. Road Repair Concerns: We are will be crack sealing the areas of Blueberry, Trestik, Rocky Run and possibly Brookside south of 10. We are still looking for a better weed killer for spraying ditches. There were more stop and street signs stolen again this month. This is eating away at our budget. Ned has been in contact with the Sheriffs Department. We are considering a reward for information to find the culprits. A pad is being laid for salt storage. Clerk Mail: The clerk reviewed how the absentee ballot process works. She stressed that there are several third parties trying to “sign up voters” for absentee ballots, however a lot of these mailings are fraudulent. If you would like an absentee ballot, you need to file an application either online or physically with the clerk and present an ID. The clerk also noted that a municipal clerk cannot legally pick up ballots. The clerk stated that she has chosen not to have a ballot drop box, citing that because thefts of stop and street signs continues, she feels she can’t ensure the safety of the ballots. A motion was made by Ned to pay bills. Seconded by Hank. Motion approved. The next meeting will be held on September 8th, due to Labor Day weekend. A motion was moved by Ned to adjourn. Seconded by Joel. Meeting adjourned.
