Weekly News Blast: Early Sunday morning the Board held a meeting to consider an Emergency Resolution to replace a failed culvert on 90th Street just south of CTH W. In quick response Supervisor Scott Provost shot the elevations and the points were surveyed for the culvert replacement. The failed 40” culvert will be replaced with one at least 48” in diameter and as such, will be eligible for a 50% cost share from Portage County. Supervisor Provost also filled out the required DNR permit application. Thanks are extended to him for all his work to expedite this important work as we anticipate it will commence as soon as possible. Supervisors Provost and Doug Steltenpohl, Clerk Stefanie Schlapa and Deputy-Clerk Vicky Zimmerman and I attended individual depositions requested by the legal counsel retained by former Supervisor Heather Grys-Luecht. We are uncertain of the costs to all town residents due to this process and/or if a trial will be indicated. Further, town residents can decide if we, as a Town want to consider a lawsuit(s) in response to hers [recall some years ago the T. Grant sued Portage County over double taxation regarding ambulance service]. It is important to know that a town can sue and be sued. And so, it goes… Don’t forget to get out and vote Tuesday April 1. The Town Hall will be open for voting from 7am until 8pm. More wonky weather on the way this weekend…Sharon
