Weekly News Blast: The board held its monthly meeting on Wednesday. There were two items requested of Clerk Stefanie Schlapa. One was the current cost to taxpayers of two lawsuits brought against the Town by petitioner and former Supervisor Heather Grys-Luecht. Our insurer covered the cost of one suit up to $10,000. The second was also covered up to $10,000 with additional payments by taxpayers of $7,668.66 to date. We anticipate additional payments will be forthcoming as litigation is ongoing. The second item was the number of Open Records Requests (ORRs) made by the aforementioned petitioner and Diana Luecht. Schlapa reported 79 requests made in 2023-2024. Contrast that to less than 10 ORRs in 15 years; primarily from contractors requesting information on bid results and let contracts. Absentee ballots were mailed out on Tuesday for the April 1 spring election. In-person voting will be available at the Town Hall on Saturday March 22 from 9:00am – 3:00pm. Incumbent Supervisors Scott Provost and Doug Steltenpohl are being challenged by Russ Brody and Kathy Woodard. Incumbent Treasurer Greg Hakala is being challenged by Diana Luecht. Clerk Stefanie Schlapa and I as Chair are running unopposed. Enjoy the wonky winter/spring weather, Sharon

Please help me in welcoming Plan Commissioner Jodi Lomma as our new Plan Commission Chair! The Plan Commission met this week to finalize the Sign Ordinance. Upon review and revisions based on public input it was recommended for approval and sent to the Town Board for consideration at next week’s meeting. Items regarding signage in our current Zoning Ordinance will be referenced to the Sign Ordinance moving forward. The next task for the Plan Commissioners was considering the input from last week’s Public Hearing regarding the Zoning Ordinance itself. There are quite a few items to consider after public review, however the Commissioners are confident that they can bring it to conclusion and make a final recommendation for approval to the Town Board.

The extremely windy conditions concurrent with sun and some thawing made for VERY icy conditions yesterday and today. Our snowplow crew gets out but with 116 miles of roads we don’t always get to places timely enough for some residents. I was cussed out to the moon and back about it yesterday, darn… Please understand that we try hard to be accommodate your requests. Be advised that Supervisor Doug Steltenpohl at 715-213-0294 oversees the road crew and will take your calls. Or you can leave a message at the Town Hall landline at 715-423-9193 and Clerk Stefanie Schlapa will forward your message. We apologize for any inconvenience the icy conditions may have caused you. But please, just SLOW DOWN if you would…

Let it snow, and enjoy the Super Bowl if you’re a fan, Sharon
