TOWN OF SAXEVILLE, WAUSHARA COUNTY, WISCONSIN

Town Board Meeting – 12/15/2008

Notice for the meeting was posted at the dump, the town hall, the Leon-Saxeville Library, published in the Waushara Argus and on the Town’s web site. There were several visitors. All Officers were present. Chairman Petersen called the meeting to order at 8:03 PM. The Pledge of allegiance was spoken.

ASSESSOR JOHN BLADER reported to the Board on recent land sales in our area. There have been several. The last reassessment was done in 2005 for a 98.68% ratio. In 2006, 2007 and 2008, the ratio was out of compliance, so he is recommending another reassessment for the year 2010. During Christmas vacation he will begin looking at the new construction places to gather numbers for his paperwork. The Board of Review will be set for May 2009.

THE CLERK’S REPORT of the meeting minutes from November 17, 2008 was read. There was one addition noted: In New Business #2 the wording should be “ The Charlie Herwig property is listed as two separate lots, but would work better as one lot, according to the county ordinance”. Motioned by Supervisor Timm, seconded by Supervisor Lind to accept the minutes as read and corrected. Voice vote, all in favor, motion carried.

THE TREASURER’S REPORT from November 2008 was read. Rockwoods are still delinquent on their personal property taxes. Motioned by Supervisor Timm, seconded by Chairman Petersen to accept the report as read. Voice vote, all in favor, motion carried.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

1. Waushara County Deputy – no report.

2. Roads – The snow plowing is going okay. The brush cutters are finished for the season. The truck needs some repairs after back left wheels came off. The county will do the sanding until the Town rig is ready. Chairman Petersen is working on the application for the TRIP program. A civil engineer may be needed to sign off on that application. If granted, it could be worth $23,000.

3. Town Hall Rentals – Sue Peterson will receive a $25.00 deposit refund. There are a couple more rentals yet in December.

4. Tom Brown Property – Chairman Petersen is not able to attend the county meeting for Mr Brown’s landscape plan and permit application, so Wally send a letter of support for the plan to the county.

5. Public Comment – Dave Harris presented letters to the Board from neighbors of his, who were asking for a different snowplow driver on Harris’ road. He said he was concerned about the safety of the people on that road. Some trees have been removed in that road; perhaps is would be possible for the county to plow that section.

6. There was no other unfinished business.

NEW BUSINESS

1. The Board signed the consent form for Adams-Columbia Electric to use the Town’s right-of-way for electric work.

2. The Land Use Committee will meet January 12, 2009.
