[4:56] Um public comment. Is there anybody online?

[5:01] » We are okay. Is there anybody out here that has anything?

[5:07] » None. >> No.

[5:08] » As our county rep, since there's nothing going on, is there anything that you

[5:13] would like to share with us? >> Uh, the only thing like, well, we

[5:16] already talked about it earlier, you know, all year. Um, I said retiring his

[5:22] replacement. Uh, I think it was Matt Nico. I don't quote me on that last

[5:27] name. Um, very educated. He's also got a lot of

[5:32] experience in the field. Um, we're looking forward to working with him. The

[5:38] county is also going to be um selling off their uh some of their equipment for

[5:46] um making gravel different for so we'll be selling

[5:52] that out going forward. So that's something that you know we'll

[5:58] we'll deal with that I'm sure about projects to begin with some of that but

[6:03] actually it's a benefit for everybody because

[6:06] you know the cost of the equipment is expensive

[6:10] is expensive it's signative value left in it u and then like the

[6:17] other around um they have uh like coming and then actually make the gravel

[6:26] themselves. It's cheaper for buying the gravel than to actually make it

[6:31] ourselves. >> Yeah. So it's u are they going to keep

[6:35] operating the quaries though but someone else will do it or they're shut

[6:39] down. >> They're not spending but they'll they'll

[6:41] operate for somebody else coming crushing because the crushing for some

[6:45] of these other people the equipment is newer. It's easier for them to get in

[6:48] and out with the county stuff is old and it takes you know

[6:52] » time >> time and a lot so this is a win.

[6:57] » What's the timeline on that to I mean it had to be all bids.

[7:01] » Uh well I mean like as far as like bids and time we have enough gravel and stuff

[7:06] going for the next two years so we won't have to worry about that part of it. Um

[7:12] the most part yeah we're we're looking pretty good as far as um as far as um

[7:19] really all I have on that other stuff is still I'm not research planning that's

[7:24] all in the work that all the only be the storage containers um little

[7:32] shipping containers that's the only thing that's on two I look at that

[7:37] probably this Thursday so I really haven't actually

[7:41] you know. So, uh and then the other thing that came up in that be the

[7:46] conditional use permits u different townships have their conditions for

[7:51] various uh projects things like that. Um that kind of came

[7:57] up also. Um, as far as that is concerned,

[8:02] enforceable has to worry about, you know, just take this. So, and a little

[8:07] bit of multip we're sitting pretty good here for other

[8:14] than that. >> Storage containers. Is there any

[8:17] grandfathering need if they're there on the property? Now,

[8:20] » if you already have them there, they're going to get grandfathered in regardless

[8:24] of what you know. Some some people think that well no you got to get rid of the

[8:27] ones you have it'll be grandfather way I understand you can't really force

[8:32] someone to get rid of it after they've had it for years you know at that point

[8:36] what does I'm not going to call that but yeah they

[8:40] should be grandfathered it forward so >> so this is to the last stage basically

[8:45] you're going to be in the voting stage of it if it passes your meeting then

[8:49] that's what's happening >> yeah basically we're finalizing the

[8:52] thing which solved So keep your

[8:56] » All right. Thank you. Well, thank you. >> Okay. Um, Southern Fire Department

[9:02] report.

[9:06] » You want me, Christ? >> Do you Maybe I should ask a question. Do

[9:11] you have something that you want to get to or are you here for a little bit?

[9:15] » I was to say, "Nope, I'm free." So, >> okay.

[9:19] » Doesn't matter. I'm staying. So if you're staying then we'll do his report

[9:23] and then we're going to come right mine's short but it's small. Okay short

[9:28] that's the uh seems to be the theme right here. So, our last meeting was

[9:32] last week, August 12th. The treasurer treasurer reported 14,

[9:38] $3160 in our checking,

[9:42] $43,6120

[9:46] in our money market, $57,220

[9:52] and1 in one of the CDs and $59,75625

[10:01] in the other CD. for a grand total of 174

[10:08] 69 and 6s. Teresa, do you need those numbers?

[10:14] » No, I got sorry. >> So, the chief reported seven EMR calls

[10:21] and five fire calls. As for the fire calls, July 24th, the evening before the

[10:28] picnic and parade at 7:10 p.m., they they responded to

[10:34] Mutual Lake above fire department for a um

[10:40] farm equipment fired around Boron fire. That was at 7:10 p.m. They provided the

[10:46] brush truck and the UTV. That was requested from about July 24th, same

[10:52] night, a little later on in the evening, 9:56 p.m. at 113 Sun Drive for a

[10:59] structure fire. Also in the the B department area provided an engine, a

[11:06] tender and a chief, but they passed on the squad. Um chief said they had gotten

[11:12] bed at midnight that night in their salv the night before the pedigan parade.

[11:18] So July 27th a couple days later at south 1583 state highway 42 I believe

[11:25] that's in the village of Forsville yet for neighbor who heard a smoke alarm

[11:30] sounding at his neighbor's voice. They gained access to the home but no

[11:36] problems were found just fault the veteran things are going on with them.

[11:42] August 4th 4337 he for a missing person's search with

[11:48] that was mutual aid to a Harvard provided a squad and a UTV but were

[11:54] cancelled soon after I was before they got there or as they got there.

[12:00] August 12th um 4162 colm for a garage fire mutual aid to

[12:06] Nasawi provided an engine and a tender and the chief cancelled and routed. So

[12:13] nothing, you know, nothing really.

[12:17] So nothing is good. >> The training in August was a tour of the

[12:21] Door County Communications Center. Um, Byron really had an eye opening on what

[12:28] what what they hear on their radio was coming out of the command center. It was

[12:33] really beneficial for them to to see that to have a tour at the G

[12:38] Center. There's a young guy has applied for

[12:42] employment. He's I'm going I'm not going to mention the name, but he's he's a

[12:47] 16year-old youth from the area. Um we do have a young fireman

[12:54] program training starts tomorrow. We have not

[12:59] heard whether he's attending or not. So but we do have this young fireman, let's

[13:05] call them junior fireman training program.

[13:10] Um the department is still waiting to hear back on some of the grant

[13:13] applications that were submitted. The fire department was the recipient of

[13:20] the 11th bingo game held at the hen house um last week August 11th with with

[13:29] the proceeds of the last bingo game going to the summer fire department for

[13:34] 180 $189. So we thank the hen house for

[13:39] they do a nice job >> and the firefighter picnic was July

[13:43] 25th. Um there is no numbers in yet because there's still outstanding

[13:49] outstanding bills yet some major outstanding bills for

[13:55] sure. So the overall feeling was it went over very very well. Mother nature

[14:00] cooperated with the good weather and so but no no final numbers have come in

[14:05] yet. >> All right.

[14:08] Um, just a heads up, our our next meeting

[14:12] September 9th at 7 p.m. The ending meeting September 23rd,

[14:17] 7 p.m.

[14:20] And last but not least, we received a $300 memorial donation from

[14:26] past firefighter who who uh recently passed away, Ben

[14:31] Feaster. Got a $300. The memorials memorials were designated from the screw

[14:37] to go to the southern program. So we got a $300 memorial.

[14:45] » Thank you, Lauren.

[14:49] All right. >> Now we're up to Colleen. So this is me,

[14:54] Colleen. >> All right. I wrote a little a little

[17:32] right hand says state of Wisconsin and door counties says I Queen Michaels have

[17:38] been elected or appointed to the office of southern North fire department board

[17:48] 2028 have but have not yet entered upon

[17:52] duties therefore swear that I will support the Constitution of the United

[17:56] States the Constitution of the State Wisconsin will faithfully discard the

[18:24] » Yeah. Just gonna hang around with us. All right.

[18:26] » Feel free. You're more than welcome. All right. Item number eight is the MA

[18:32] Maplewood Sanitary District. There is nobody here, but they have sent meeting

[18:37] minutes which we have had passed out and been read before this. Was there any

[18:43] questions on any of those meeting minutes that any of the board members

[18:46] have had? >> No.

[18:49] » And we will move on to the next item. Proposal for the town hall stripping and

[18:54] refinishing of the floors. So, >> the last time we had the floors done was

[18:58] back in 2023. So, I called Josh by floors and he

[19:03] doesn't do stripping like this, he said. So, he gave me um the master care

[19:09] cleaning service and janitorial supplies.

[19:11] » So, I have him come and do a quote of the building and the quote I think I

[19:17] emailed everybody a chance to read it. So, it also includes bathrooms and the

[19:21] two rugs for $1,285.28. So, it'll be this floor, the kitchen,

[19:27] the hallway, the two bathrooms, and the rugs.

[19:31] » Um, >> so I had one question.

[19:33] » The bathrooms because that's a specific type of flooring in there.

[19:37] » And I know they had said that, right? That's that's not this type of surface.

[19:40] It's more of a >> right

[19:42] » rubbery thing. The product they're putting on there is going to be

[19:46] acceptable for that. Correct. I mean just something

[19:48] » I think so because he saw the extra tiles in the storage room.

[19:53] » Okay. >> And he said that that's wasn't what was

[19:56] installed in the bathrooms. >> Okay.

[19:58] » So, >> right. I just want to make sure you know

[20:02] that >> and him and his worker did come and

[20:05] physically looked at the floors when they before they quote.

[20:08] » Yep. >> So, yeah. So, I would say he knows that

[20:12] it's two different surface that. And then I told him I would like it after

[20:16] the baseball game and now they're playing in playoffs on Sunday just

[20:20] because you know with a new floor I don't want too much

[20:24] that. >> So I just took this upon myself because

[20:27] it's been three years since we had it >> in the last boat was 1,600 or last time

[20:32] we did it was actually more $1,669. I just

[20:38] » kind that fast >> and I know we only now it's in the

[20:42] budget for who cares about what I thought of what we made of it, you know.

[20:47] » Well, if we don't maintain it, we will have problems and

[20:51] » it's just a whole lot better. >> And they said they would put the chairs

[20:53] outside because they're going to move all the tables. They're like, I don't

[20:57] even have the heater. I can just give them to

[21:00] » I have a question again. Is the rug

[21:06] They're going to put the rug outside. >> No, no. The rug in that room.

[21:10] » Do we even bother with that or just at some point get serious about replacing

[21:14] that whole >> book in that room?

[21:16] » Replacing. >> But is it is it hard floor underneath? I

[21:21] mean, is it >> No, but it's going to be concrete under

[21:23] this country. >> No,

[21:26] » right. But it's just basically I mean yeah

[21:28] » you guys have been here >> as members of board members before and I

[21:32] know we're not supposed to whatever but we're going to ask anyway

[21:36] » for your opinions on this right >> these days you better replace it.

[21:40] » Okay. That's kind of how my feeling is on it as well. But I I

[21:44] » maybe next year we could do that. Maybe some painting on the walls.

[21:48] » Really? >> Yeah.

[21:49] » I mean the supplement we can budget. >> Yeah. We we already have $1,000 in the

[21:53] budget for this year. you know, maybe >> maybe 1500 and maybe people would I

[22:00] don't know how much I have no idea what >> there's been so much.

[22:05] » Well, I don't know that you're going to put carpet back in there. I would just

[22:08] with a luxury vinyl of some but

[22:11] » that would be a better approach because that carpet.

[22:15] » Yeah. And it's

[22:21] okay.

[22:28] » So my opinion is is I think this is acceptable. I think it's a fair number

[22:33] for what they're doing. >> Do you guys have any you want to put on

[22:38] before we put something else over here?

[22:43] Motion saved. floor accept the quote as

[22:50] I'll second that. >> All right. I have a motion from Lauren

[22:52] to accept the quote as presented for the $1,28528

[22:58] and a second from David. All in favor? I >> opposed. Hearing none that will carry.

[23:06] » So then you'll need another check signed for that. Um,

[23:09] » or they usually >> I guess would be your next

[23:14] » he had plans to do it this week, but now that baseball's coming

[23:18] to do it after. >> Thank you for

[23:22] this bill. >> No, he's probably disill.

[23:27] » Okay. So, do you need authorization that if it's done within and he's like,

[23:31] "Well, I got to have my payment beforehand because we don't have an

[23:34] amount over there or you want to have the okay to write out a check and we

[23:41] sign it as needed." >> Yes, I want to have the okay, but the

[23:44] check >> or just tell him he's got to wait till

[23:47] next month. >> I mean, by the time he does it, it's

[23:50] » it'll be next month. He might not even build it that fast. Who knows? Depends

[23:53] when it's building cycles. It could be a day or it could be days or month knows

[24:00] how tall >> that's just yeah knows

[24:04] » we can just live with it the way it is good once we get the work done at our

[24:09] next board meeting >> okay thank you for doing this

[24:12] » perfect

[24:16] and that's fine >> okay cemetery report

[24:21] » we've had on and off issues up there but the uh it's quiet, it's clean.

[24:29] Those rotten hot moon stones really come apart up there now.

[24:35] Um, and I had one headstone placement a couple of weeks

[24:40] ago and uh they almost put it wrong place

[24:52] and anyway they got it in

[24:57] I had a couple more inquiries but I'm not sure if there's any anything that

[25:03] All right, secretaries, please complain about there. Perfect. Just move through

[25:08] here. >> All right. Is there any updates or

[25:11] changes on a Gov and the websites? >> I have updates to the website. So, we

[25:16] talked about the Tom and the Tom. So, now they have updated

[25:21] when you write it online. It was your name, address, and phone number. So,

[25:26] perfect. Billion and Tom that was updated last week.

[25:30] » Thank you. All right. >> Yeah. They also provided to an

[25:33] invoiceer. I got that invoice for the annual update which I forwarded. I

[25:39] assume >> everybody booked editing and bills.

[25:42] » And there's my only question on the website is that scroll we had running

[25:49] since May saying they're going to do some eval reevaluation.

[25:55] » Well, we're still not 100%. I was just going to leave it till we have the

[25:59] border review. >> That's fine. Because

[26:01] » and that's in October, right? >> September. I think October. Yeah.

[26:04] » September review. All right. Yeah. Leave that out

[26:09] there. But other than that, we're apologize for two things. One, not being

[26:15] timely in case you know uh recording posted uh to the website. And at the

[26:22] beginning of tonight's recording, the panorama

[26:26] at the top was also missing. Uh so I had to make an adjustment to that during the

[26:32] baby start. So anybody who's watching this wondering what is going on

[26:39] » just shows we're off the baby just shows we're not the baby. Well, we're getting

[26:43] there.

[26:48] » Yeah. But other than that, uh I think they've integrated an awful lot of uh

[26:53] the clerk minutes stuff into the uh into our dashboard. So it's a lot easier for

[27:01] you, Teresa, as far as I can tell >> because you can just download it Zoom

[27:05] and then you can upload it right into first minutes. Correct. Yeah.

[27:09] » And there's also that option of instantly publishing minutes. And we

[27:14] don't we don't policy,

[27:18] » but that was a change they made last month. So

[27:20] » yeah, follow us. >> Okay. To that.

[27:25] » Um would you have any correspondence? >> Me either. And everything I had I dealt

[27:29] with. There's more complaints than correspondence.

[27:34] » Um as far as roads and road work, um everything is still on track for what

[27:41] was started with C Yeah, they've got the gravel down.

[27:45] » Yeah, >> right. Well, they got to wen it up and

[27:49] widen it rain.

[27:53] » Yeah, would be nice. >> We will get those bushes pulled out when

[27:56] they're done. >> Sure.

[27:59] » Yeah, those

[28:03] nothing

[28:07] work. Yeah, >> I got a call from a constituent on North

[28:12] Forest Road, that's the other side of the dam down, wondering if we could

[28:18] lower the speed limit on the road.

[28:25] » So, this is what happens if you try to lower the speed limit. We got to do a

[28:29] test, right? you got to run a highway test which we have to pay for

[28:34] um because there were other spots where that question had come into play.

[28:41] Then what happens they take that study which you're going to pay for

[28:48] and you can only go down a certain percent of what they're speeding over

[28:52] the top of the speed limit. Okay? So if it was 55 there and bull are doing 60

[28:59] and you're only going to get a percentage

[29:04] of that and that's it. So it's a long drawn out process. So I can have it but

[29:11] it isn't just oh I want to drop it whatever.

[29:14] That's what I have been told by that and just side

[29:24] intersection 42 over the county pole. >> Yeah.

[29:27] » Aren't there some miles hour signs there at 35?

[29:35] That was before my time. We never once changed the speed limit on any of those

[29:40] roads. >> It's not the white. It's not the white

[29:42] signs. It's the yellow. >> It's the yellow.

[29:48] » It's a suggestion. It's not something like that because this guy says he has

[29:55] um any children and he's concerned. He said the

[30:01] people who live down there are generally not the problem. It's

[30:05] » this is this is you were suggesting what north forest

[30:11] » um it's the delivery trucks UPS whatever

[30:18] » that I think your the board would do that we would do suggestion um child at

[30:24] play >> and he was wondering is there is there

[30:27] some type of >> it would be a cautionary

[30:30] advisory >> is there some type of handicap sign that

[30:33] can also be I'm almost thinking you could almost get

[30:36] any sign you wanted somewhat maybe if you know what I'm saying from from we

[30:40] order what you want right children >> handicap child at play or children that

[30:45] play like thing

[30:49] whatever we would hope to suggest but will somebody get a ticket because they

[30:54] were going over that absolutely not unless somebody

[31:00] wants to issue a citation and go through that process

[31:05] But we have no way of radar. How would you prove it?

[31:10] » Correct. >> So that that we could do Lauren. That is

[31:15] an absolute possibility. Is that something you get to look in and they

[31:19] get a sign or whatever?

[31:23] » Joe Bader. >> Yeah, Joe Ber. I can go and make a

[31:26] couple phone calls to find out what the sign will cost. We already know what the

[31:29] post is going to cost. adjusted if you would he would be

[31:34] willing to pay for the signing. Okay. So back to then I I don't see an issue with

[31:43] that. We could do some form of something to help a yellow speed limit caution.

[31:49] » But for us to physically drop the speed limit legally is a long process and an

[31:55] expensive one. So therefore, I don't think that would

[32:00] be very >> contact Joe Bay. We'll see whether I

[32:04] mean it's it's it's it's 55 technically now down there. So

[32:13] can we draw up a 35? Is that >> you could put the suggestion at 35?

[32:17] » Sure. >> The yellow sign,

[32:20] » right? Road between the highway and we break

[32:26] through. >> It is That's exactly what we did.

[32:31] » Yep. I would be fine with that. >> So, we'll find out what it is and then

[32:36] » in fact, I'll get back to him when we're looking into it.

[32:40] » Probably like him to pick up what she suggested. Anyway,

[32:46] » okay. Forest is that North Forks yard of the I was contacting Martha so up with

[32:55] the ditches that you guys building after that rain and she you know there's a

[32:58] little M coming to I said well there hasn't enough rain for it to really

[33:02] throw back rash she just called and says you know she just really wanted I didn't

[33:07] know it was great she she was very happy with what you guys did

[33:12] » well I think it was always she's always getting water here now because Well,

[33:16] through it, which I'm surprised that she hasn't

[33:19] » Well, I think because the field that you guys are working on was was uh plowed

[33:24] and there was no planting. So, >> but she used to cut the whole ditch. So,

[33:28] I'm surprised that she hasn't complained that there's well, she's not able to cut

[33:33] the whole ditch. >> She was just not sure if it was

[33:35] finished. She said that wanted to consider a closed matter as of yet, but

[33:39] she did. Thank you. They did a very nice job. So, I'm glad you know that. But she

[33:45] she's had, you know, just wants it to be something that we keep an eye on, right?

[33:50] So, thank you for that.

[33:54] » Right. Um, as far as right away, I didn't chance to go with that too

[34:00] much. >> Yeah, I mean, that's fine. There's not

[34:02] uh there's going to be that very soon. >> Yeah.

[34:07] Okay, that's all I have on u.

[34:12] » Yeah. Um, we did I guess there is one more thing. We did receive the grant

[34:20] approval. There there's multiple steps to the

[34:23] approval process that so one is them telling me you're approved but you

[34:30] cannot do anything until they send me the signed agreements. Okay, we don't

[34:35] have a signed agreement. So the culvert that we applied for bridge, right?

[34:43] We got approved for the one to

[34:48] replace and fix it. >> Maple wood. Is that wood?

[34:52] » I believe it's the one on maple wood near maple or is it wild

[34:58] co? >> It was the worst one is what it was.

[35:06] » Yes, the one guy. It's a

[35:09] » It's a

[35:14] Yeah. This is a >> maple and wood.

[35:18] » Yeah. >> Yeah.

[35:21] » Oh, no. This >> is That's not it.

[35:24] » No. >> Okay.

[35:27] » Yeah. This is This is the other one where we got

[35:31] the gold. >> What's this one? Yeah.

[35:42] This is it >> right here.

[35:44] » That's the maplewood one. >> Correct.

[35:46] » It's Maple and Maple Wood Road, >> right?

[35:49] » Right by North Creek. >> So it's it's a cost share project, you

[35:57] know, but the proposal that was initially sent

[36:02] was like 47,000. This is a the amount of the funding is 45,675

[36:10] that they'll go up to. But hey, the 45,000 we didn't have we have to. So I

[36:18] pretty happy about that 47, >> right? And some of it is a question on

[36:26] there was an option kind of to put a little bit of rip wrap on the end side

[36:30] of that thing. And to me, with these big storms we've been getting, I think that

[36:35] that's, you know, that was a couple thousand more or whatever, I almost

[36:40] think it's a good idea to be honest with you

[36:44] cuz that water is, it's just crazy, but you know, there water can do

[36:51] » how much damage that stuff does. It is just

[36:54] » look at Indiana right now. >> Unbelievable.

[36:57] » Hawaii.

[37:00] » Yeah. Please. >> All right.

[37:05] Okay. Payment of bills. We all looked everything over.

[37:10] » Um we looked it over and there's a $29.75

[37:16] credit card. >> Yes. Correct.

[37:18] » $2055. Yep.

[37:20] » 255. >> Yep. Yeah. 555.

[37:23] » Okay. A motion to pay the bills. Second. >> All right. I have a motion from Lar uh

[37:29] Lauren to pay the bills for the second from David based on what was presented

[37:34] plus the credit card. All in favor? >> I opposed. Hearing none that carried. Uh

[37:42] discussion and items intended for future meeting.

[37:47] » We'll put the the road >> correct

[37:50] » the name of it. It is going to be the role that they sent us to.

[38:00] » Yeah. And um they're looking at calling in

[38:06] look at the name here.

[38:12] » Given a name here, but it is a Cedar >> Cedar

[38:16] » Cedar Lake Road. So, where this is, did you guys

[38:21] get an idea of where this is in your minds? Do you see this on the survey

[38:25] map? >> I was looking I thought it was over by

[38:29] » this is on Sleepy Hollow. >> Yes. Problems. Okay.

[38:36] So, I needed more time to look at that than

[38:40] uh

[38:44] » that's exactly what they were told. And then in October we should probably have

[38:48] a budget meeting. So we want that like after our regular October meeting

[38:56] but we do. >> Yeah.

[38:57] » So okay. So then we'll have October meeting and then we'll have the budget
