NEW BUSINESS:
The NEW ASSESSOR, CINDY CHASE, introduced herself. She is completing some 2025 assessment work and will start the 2026 Revaluation this fall.
The TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM (TAP) GRANT was discussed and it was determined that it is mainly for non-motorized projects, such as walking trails. Barb Czarnecki will follow up on that project.
On the suggestion from the DNR the WAKESURFING PROTECTION ORDINANCE NO. 2025-01 needs the definition of the 24 inch elevated wake trail. The Ordinance will be amended and approved at the August meeting.
The Clerk will give a copy of our ordinance to the Town of Hayward, so that can approve the same version.
Barb Czarnecki drafted a letter to our LEGISLATORS, Senator Quinn and Representative Chanz Green asking for their SUPPORT by creating a legislative act that addresses safe Wakesurfing. The letter is tabled for now until Barb completes her research.
SURFACE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM (STP)
The STP is for 2026-2031 program cycle projects. The Board will decide which road we will submit for the grant. We are allowed up to two applications. The second half of River Road was discussed for this grant. The Clerk will get Gary’s input on which roads should be done first.
We will also prepare a FIVE YEAR ROAD PLAN for reconstruction, asphalt overlay, mastic seal, crack seal & chip seal. The mastic seal will be done by the Sawyer County Highway Dept. which can be done this year.
DISCUSSION OF ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA:
Governor Evers signed the 2025-2027 state budget that includes an increase in General Transportation, a $100 million one-time funding for the Local Road Improvement Program, $150 million one-time funding for Ag Road Improvement and a $200 million one-time funding for pre-disaster flood resilience grants.
Jon and Patty talked to another company about a warning siren. They will be sending a map of the areas that we want the sirens to be placed. Patty will contact someone at the Tribal Office to discuss sharing the cost of putting one up at The Landing.
The meeting ended at 6:22 p.m.
Patricia R. Swaffield, Clerk
