Rosenbaum directed Arthur to send an e-blast to the town residents. 5. Treasurer’s report: discussion of revenues, expenses, and payment of the bills. Revenues - -$159 is a result of a payment to Dane Co. for MFL fees. For every time we get a check, 20% of what we collect we have to pay to Dane Co. Intergovernmental revenues contains Q2 transportation aid. Paid out more than we collected in licenses because we collect dog licenses all year, but we pay Dane County.

Overlay for LRIP on Messerschmidt 3 weeks ago, all shouldered now. Can get inspection from Engineer Brian Berquist and apply for reimbursement ($17,500). Chipseal was a week ago on Lunde, double sealed Grimstad. Crack filling was also done last month. Ditching for town hall will happen in a few weeks as well as section of Klevenville-Riley for new base and overlay. • Sign update – more signs ordered, they are put up as they come in. • March salt shed inspection/cover wood with tin on both ends. Contacted Jeff from Midwest, they came in high with $8-10K to put tin on both ends. Will likely put it out for bid. 7. Southwest Dane Senior Center update from Lynn Forshaug. Lynn not present, will attend July mtg. 8. Plow truck purchase discussion to compare bids and consider purchase. Lead times for chassis and add-on equipment require something to be ordered now, in order to have an operable piece of equipment by fall 2026. Peterbilt, Kenworth and western star bids have been received. Spreadsheet with specs shown in PowerPoint. Dahlk’s recommendation was that we already have 2 other Peterbilts; they have the best warranty and only 2 spots left to order. Once those are gone, we will spend more if we need to get the next model year with the new emissions. Rosenbaum in favor of the Peterbilt. MOTION (Rosenbaum/Schwenn) to enter into a contract for the Peterbilt truck 548 model, at a price of $140,159 to be ordered as soon as possible. $3,000 down when ordered. 3 ayes, 0 nays. Add-on equipment discussion: Burke is more expensive, but Monroe didn’t meet all our specs. Discount through Burke if you pay half down. MOTION (Schwenn/Altschul) to order the add on-equipment from Burke. 3 ayes, 0 nays. 9. Combination Class “B” Beer and Liquor license renewals. Arthur explained that both taverns passed the building inspections. However, both taverns did not submit required materials on-time, and thus background checks were not all completed timely. Still waiting on a few checks to be completed as well as a few operator submissions from Riley Tavern. Rosenbaum admonished the taverns to submit timely paperwork in the future so that we can meet our state-imposed deadlines. MINUTES SPRINGDALE TOWN BOARD TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 2025 AT 7:00 P.M.
