Public Comment: None Approval of Minutes: Motion by Endres, second by Cable, to approve the minutes for March 17, 2025, Town Board meeting. Motion carried (4-0). Discussion and possible action on Oak Lane Road project: The town had been contacted by Yahara Materials last year to consider having them provide material for the road project. In return, the town would allow truck traffic from the quarry to drive on Oak Lane. Once the project was bid out and approved for this year, this consideration was raised again. After much discussion, it was decided it was too late in the process to make changes to the project, which also includes a Local Road Grant application. Motion by Cable, second by Endres to move forward with Tri-County on project and deny Yahara Materials participation or truck traffic on the road. Motion carried (4-0) Discussion and possible action on Schumacher Open Road Application: Clark explained that this application was pulled after meeting with property owners. An alternative plan was discussed to avoid opening the road so the application is no longer needed. Discussion and possible action on Digester Roads-Cuba Valley Ripp Road Conditions: Pictures were displayed of areas on Cuba Valley Road that are breaking up due to the additional truck traffic. Repairs for this were not included in this year’s budget but this will need work before winter, or the plows will cause further damage. While Tri-County is working on Oak Lane, they will review the areas of damage on Cuba Valley and Ripp Roads and provide a quote on the work needed to repair the areas.
