NEW BUSNESS:
Kay Ryan was approached by some of her neighbors who asked that the SPEED LIMIT ON DUN ROVIN ROAD be reduced to 25 MPH. She then talked to a few more neighbors and they all agreed to the reduced speed limit.
MOTION: Moved by Rusk; 2nd Dier to change the Dun Rovin speed limit from 35 to 25 MPH; all in favor; motion carried.
As part of the CONTINGENCY PLANNING the Clerk prepared a resolution authorizing Kay Ryan to sign checks for the purpose of disbursing funds from the checking account. Her signature would be required in the absence of the Chair, Clerk or Treasurer.
MOTION: Moved by Dier; 2nd Rusk to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2022-01 Authorizing Signatures for Disbursement; all in favor; motion carried.
For further contingency planning, the Clerk will check with other Municipalities on how they have set up a deputy clerk and treasurer in case of the absence of the Clerk or Treasurer.
A SUMMER RECREATIONAL LAKE ACTIVITY SURVEY was prepared by Dennis Clagett and presented to the Board for approval. The survey will be sent as is to our Webmaster in preparation of sending it to our residents as an email blast. The results of the survey will ultimately be presented to the WIS DNR.
Ryan and Dier listened to the BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE BILL webinar and it was decided that it would cost the Town a considerable amount of money to put together an application to be approved. The board decided not to pursue applying
