K Meeting minutes of October 7, 2025 Page 2 of 2 Approved: 10/21/25 The final inspection by the Town is scheduled for Wednesday, October 15th at 5 p.m., with a County inspection the morning of October 17th. b. 2025 ROAD PROJECTS Pine Cone Circle and Blue Spruce Circle were chip sealed using some of the money saved on undercutting costs on the Hickory Highlands project. Patrolman Ripp would like to ask for a $9,000 discount/refund and an extra year of warranty on Clover Hill Drive, where Payne and Dolan only paved a 20’ wide base layer, instead of 22’. The second layer will be laid at 22’ but will likely be more prone to cracking since the 1’ edges on each side of the road won’t have received the compaction they should have. Onsite personnel from MSA missed the mistake; Springfield does not expect to pay for any of MSA’s personnel hours for the onsite work when the mistake was missed, nor the hours required to correct the mistake. 10. COMMITTEE REPORTS Supervisor IV: The Middleton Fire budget was approved with $190,000 for station maintenance. The funding for capital equipment is solvent through 2031. Supervisor III: Waunakee EMS meets this week. Supervisor II: Supervisor I: Chairperson: Cross Plains EMS meets next week.
