Weekly News Blast: It’s that time of year again – no, not just the holidays, but time to renew your dog license. Contact Treasurer Greg Hakala at treasurer@townofgrant-portage.wi.gov. or give him a call at 715-697-3901. The Town of Grant ranked #1 in Portage County for dog-licensing in 2024, thanks to our responsible dog-owners. Thank you! Let’s keep up our incredible record and show all the other municipalities how it’s done.   Our public works crew was busy brushing along our road rights of way this week. They have been doing a very nice job. This is a good time to remind everyone that now through February is a great time to prune or cut oaks without the risk of oak wilt infection. Oak wilt is an invasive fungal disease deadly to all Wisconsin oak species. One of the ways it spreads is by sap-feeding beetles that carry spores from infected trees to fresh wounds of healthy trees. Oak wilt is very expensive to treat, but prevention is effective and much less costly. One of the best ways to help protect oaks is to prune or cut in the winter. Have a very happy and safe New Year, Sharon

Weekly News Blast

The Board met this week for their monthly meeting. We passed the 2025 budget – yeah! However, one of the big unknowns for next year will be our legal budget. We placed $25,000 in that line item, a large sum for any Town. Unfortunately, our insurer has covered what they will from the lawsuits filed by former Supervisor Heather Grys-Luecht. At Wednesday’s meeting another $4,000+ bill was paid to the attorneys representing the Town; now totally more than $7,000 in legal fees above our insurance coverage of $10,000. We anticipate that we will continue to receive more legal bills unless/until this case is settled or goes to court. It is because the Town itself has been sued that all landowners will be paying legal fees from town taxes. This, versus the case of the utility solar project wherein all our legal fees were reimbursed.

Just in time for the holidays you’ll be receiving your 2024 tax bills from the Portage County Treasurer’s office. You’ll also be receiving our Fall newsletter. There’s lots of news to take in including special reports from both the Portage County Highway and Solid Waste Departments.

Enjoy the weekend; at least it’s warmed up a bit. Sharon
