Clerk Martin notified the Board that the Town is currently paying $57 per liquor license to public notice each license in the Stevens Point Journal and only charging each applicant $45 for their license. Wisconsin statute will be reviewed to determine what the Town can legally charge for this fee and the Board will reassess this agenda item at next month’s meeting. 10. Clerk Martin shared the three roof repair opinions and estimates she received and the Board does not want to restore the entire roof.

Clerk Martin shared the four flooring estimates she received for installing LVP or a concrete coating to replace the existing carpet in the Town Hall.
