Chairperson Skrzeczkoski explained that the debt is able to be used on the Tax Levy Worksheet, towards the Town’s tax levy. John Becker brought forward concerns regarding the state of Victory Rd and school buses that need to go down the middle of the road; if they go to close to the shoulder they possible risk tipping over. His concern was it appears that the Town doesn’t have a plan when it comes to maintaining the roads, that nothing is being done to prevent them from deteriorating and that if something were to happen to a school bus with children on, the Town would be open to lawsuits. Discussion ensued regarding the costs of repairing Victory Road to State specs, budgets and the Town has only so much money and the Town is doing the best that it can with the funds that it receives. Bill Kiggins suggested that perhaps it would be more cost efficient to turn Victory Rd into a gravel road. The new board may need to take that into consideration. Ralph Albert requested if there was any follow-up regarding including his request from 2024 regarding the additional details are required in the Annual Report including dates when revenue was received, expenditures need to include check number, dates and amounts Deputy Clerk Skrzeczkoski read Ch 60.41 from the WI State Statutes, which states the report only includes the previous year’s revenues, expenditures and the current indebtedness of the Town.
