Can you help?

Weekly News Blast: Clerk Stefanie Schlapa has been busy drafting components of the All-Hazard Mitigation Plan in cooperation with Portage County Emergency Management. At a time to be announced we hope to engage members of the Plan Commission and all interested residents in this important process. On Monday I attended a WI Towns Association meeting in the Town of Hull (Portage Co.) where staff queried officials about issues important for future legislation. Included among the many issues were utility solar, costs of emergency services, insurance, and harassment of town officials. On Tuesday UW-Extension presented an informational session on utility solar and the power (not) of local governments to control either placement or size. A pre-construction meeting for the bridges over Four Mile Creek on 95th and 100th Streets was held on Tuesday. At this writing, the start date for these projects is August 26th however it is possible they may begin sooner. Our public works crew continued with tree and debris removal on Griffith Avenue, mowing, and grading. It’s going to be a very warm weekend. Keep cool and hydrated, Sharon

On the afternoon of Monday February 20 someone backed into the Transfer Station driveway and dumped a large amount of carpeting, its backing, and a dog toy west of the entry gate. The materials were urine-soaked. The Portage County Sheriff Department (PCSD) is investigating this littering incident. The PCSD and the Town of Grant is asking for your help. If you know who might have done this, please contact the non-emergency number for the PCSD at (715) 346-1400 or Town of Grant Chair Sharon Schwab at (715) 213-1717.

Thank you.
