Motion by Schoonover, 2nd by Kafer to approve and
pay the mentioned invoices.
Mr
Egan asked how many hours we were invoiced from the Correctional
Department. We were billed for 622 hours
@ .42/hr. The rest was administrative
costs and equipment.
Motion carried.
ACTION
ON WHAT TO DO WITH MONEY IN THE BUDGET BEFORE YEAR END:
Thomas
Egan stated that he wished to pay off the town hall, but Peggy Hendricks
explained that since this was taken as an adjustment on our tax levy, it has to
show in the books that the hall was paid in 2012, not 2011. She thought it would be wise to pay this
towards roads so we do not jeopardize our transportation aid that we
receive.
Discussion
was to give some to Ripon Truck, for we still need grinding done and Edgewater
needs brushing done. Tom Egan stated
that we are on a year to year contract and we might want to reconsider
this. Freunds have more culverts to go
in and there will be extensive road work done in 2012.
Motion by Kafer, 2nd by Schoonover to pay the
following.
Radtke
for $35,000
Freunds
for $10,000
Winnebago
Co for $35,000
For a total of $80,000. Motion carried.
BURNING
DOWN HOME ON PARCEL #022 0411, 9133 BELL SCHOOL ROAD
Tom
Egan explained that Zillges wanted to turn the house on 9133 Bell School Road
over to the Fire Department for practice on controlled burns. Motion by Kafer, 2nd
by Schoonover to take the house off the tax bill and have the fire department
use it for practice. Motion
carried.
Motion by Schoonover, 2nd by Kafer to adjourn at 11:25. Motion carried.
Respectfully
submitted by Peggy Hendricks, Clerk
