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

On Wednesday, the Town Board unanimously passed the revised Zoning Ordinance. Our thanks to Plan Commission Chair Jodi Lomma and Town attorney Austin Mogard in attendance that evening. Chair Lomma presented a PowerPoint presentation detailing the recommended rezoned parcels and sections of the Ordinance that speak to enforcement. Attorney Mogard followed up by answering questions from the Board. Our thanks are extended to all those commissioners who worked on the Ordinance, those that attended the public hearings and provided their input, and especially Kathy Lee, PC Secretary who so accurately recorded all the changes through the years. On behalf of the Town Board, we appreciate the cooperation and collaboration that was necessary to reach this goal.

Thank you, Sharon
