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

The Town Board held a brief meeting on Monday. Repairs to replace a shift plate on service truck 22 were approved. This older truck will need replacement “sooner rather than later”. But with chassis STARTING at ~$150,000 the cost for a fully equipped service truck could reach $250,000. The Board may need to consider designating a specific fund to achieve this future purchase.

Supervisor Doug Steltenpohl and Clerk Stefanie Schlapa compiled cost proposals for recycling and solid waste pick-up and disposal from three local service providers. After consideration, the Board opted to remain with Waste Management (WM) with a two-year rather than our current three-year contract. We retain a good working relationship with this company and staff. Thanks to Supervisor Scott Provost and Treasurer Greg Hakala the installation of the compactor significantly reduced the cost of the Transfer Station to our taxpayers in 2024. We anticipate further reductions in costs over the next two years in collaboration with WM.

Meetings via ZOOM will no longer be available. We cordially invite you to join us in the Town Hall for all meetings regarding town business.

Enjoy the anticipated warm weekend and don’t forget to “Spring Ahead” your clocks on Sunday, Sharon
