Bob made a motion to accept the minutes from the 7-8-2026 monthly meeting as written, seconded by Jake and the motion carried.

 

Eric Larson, Town attorney, provided the final permissive use document for Jeannette Road. The request had been made previously by the Board that the contract must be revocable and Eric indicated that it is. Jon made a motion to approve the final draft of permissive use, Jake seconded and the motion carried. The document was signed by the Board, Eli and Alison Finkel, owners, and attested by Town Clerk.

 

County Sheriff’s Report – there were 137 calls in July. Nick Yohanek, the current Sheriff’s liaison, has changed shifts for the department and will no longer be available to attend the regular meetings. The department will assign a new liaison. Currently there are 5 deputies interested in the position.

 

Treasurer Report: fund balances were read and the document is attached to the minutes.
Clerk report:

Election returns: 376 voted; of which were 84 absentee ballots. At the time of printing the poll book, there were 1108 registered voters in the Township. An addition 7 voters registered. Bob made a motion to approve the Clerk-Treasurer report, seconded by Jake and the motion carried.

 

Supervisor’s reports:

Bob and Jake did not have a report.

Jon indicated that he has received several calls regarding weed cutting on the lakes. Jorja will be the Board liaison for the Lake Management District Meetings.

 

Deputy Chief Ryan Dion, provided information about the Fire/EMS contract for 2027. The current call levels are lower than normal. The collective bargaining for police dept personnel is concluded and the City will be able to develop their budget in a more-timely fashion which will benefit the Town’s budgeting process. There is talk about restructuring the terms of the Fire/EMS contract that will change the length for future contracts. They plan to develop a 20-year plan that will translate to a potential 2-3 year contract with the Township. The city is considering a purchase for a water tender vehicle. The cost is estimated at $600,000.00, with a life expectancy of 5-10 years. This would be a one-time purchase with no added cost to the participating towns. The department has built a training center and there is a planned open house to tour the facility on August 19.

 

Public works report – mowing is in process. There will be wedging on Clover Valley and Willis Ray Roads that will complete the major road repairs for the season.

 

Johnson Tractor is offering an extension to the maintenance for the new tractor. The cost is $7400.00. Since there has already been two major repairs to the tractor, the extended warranty is economically viable.  Jon made a motion to approve the premier level of coverage with some clarification, seconded by Jake and the motion carried. The payment will be allocated to the repair budget.

 

There was no public comment

 

Monthly invoices were reviewed, approved and checks signed.

Jon made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Bob, the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 7:45 PM.

 

Respectfully submitted by Jorja Boiley, Clerk-Treasurer
