            UNFINISHED BUSINESS

1.      Waushara County Deputy – no report.

2.      Roads – Chairman Petersen has finished the paperwork for the TRIP program. A certified engineer will most likely need to be retained to sign those papers.  It could result in about $23,000 toward that accomplished roadwork.  Brian Glatz repaired the truck sander. Leroy Niemuth’s land is being flooded due to the current weather conditions.  Crack Fillers will check the roads with the Board and Terry Purvis on Monday, March 23. Repairs are needed at Hilltop Cemetery on Rustic Road; projects are slated for spring.  The road past The Ding has large potholes and an excess of gravel on the road.  Chairman Petersen met with the Highway Commissioner; there is a concern about the snow removal for the town.  The County is looking to cut areas of expenditure.  The Town will need to address the snow issue; purchase another truck or perhaps hire it done. The newly paved Alp Road has several rough areas; “rough road” signs were installed.  Oak Street will be reopened April 1.

3.      Town Hall Rentals – Currently, there are church and meal site rentals. The Food Pantry will start in April and the Saxeville Players will offer theater classes in April and May.

4.      April 7 Election – Five poll workers will be hired for the day.  The voter turnout is expected to be moderate.

5.      Brush Pile – the fire department will not burn the pile now since the fire danger is high.

6.      There was no other unfinished business.
