Weekly Blast: The Board held its monthly meeting Wednesday. It was filled with requests for road maintenance including replacement of a culvert on Timm Ave (100th – termini), another quad of cold pack (thanks to Leo Kruger and Garry Saeger who have been joint/crack sealing and patching like mad), paving over the culvert replacement on 90th just south of CTH WW, and for ~30 loads of crushed red granite for 100th (north of Elm). Formal steps to discontinue a section of Griffith east of 110th and west of County Road F was approved by Resolution. Now all abutting landowners will be informed and a public hearing on the matter will occur on Wednesday December 9th at 6:30pm. Speaking of public hearings, our next one will be on Wednesday October 21st at 6:00pm. This is to consider an additional request from the Portage County Planning and Zoning Dept. regarding a Table 9.1 in our Comprehensive Plan. Following, the Plan Commission will consider a Resolution and the Town Board an Ordinance during a joint meeting immediately following. If these two formal documents are approved, we will move to a Public Hearing held by the Portage County Planning & Zoning Committee on Tuesday October 27th at 5:00pm in Stevens Point. Some residents in the Mertz subdivision (Spruce Lane and 82nd Street) will receive letters this month regarding upcoming brushing of low-hanging branches. Two tax inserts 1) dog license application and 2) recycling brochure were readied for distribution. Tax season is “just around the corner”! Expect a freeze and then a warm-up. Cheers, Sharon
