Town of New Haven, Adams County, Wisconsin
Minutes of January 26, 2017 Board Meeting
The regular monthly meeting of the New Haven Town Board was called to order at 7:00 p.m. at the Town Hall on Thursday, January 26, 2017 by Town Chairman Tory Wolfram.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited and the clerk noted that notice of the meeting had been posted in three places and transmitted electronically to those on record as requesting same.
Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved on a motion by Supervisor Adam Watson and a second by Supervisor Bill Ebert.
Treasurer Conny Crothers presented the treasurers report which was then approved on a motion by Adam, and second by Bill.
Chairman Wolfram reported that progress was being made with FEMA on funding a portion of repairs resulting from the storm on Sept. 20th, 2016. Much documentation is necessary prior to their approval of funds.
Tom Morse was in attendance requesting that property on Hwy. 23 be rezoned from A-3 to R-2 and further requesting board approval of a Conditional Use Permit allowing short term rentals on this property. Adam moved and Bill seconded that both requests be granted and the motion carried.
Brenda Quinnell, County Director of Solid Waste spoke to those in attendance about various issues involving the landfill and its operations. She indicated that there are no problems with the New Haven Transfer Site.
The clerk noted that an error had been made in taxing the Alliant Clay Mine. It is to be assessed and taxed only by the state after Alliant files the necessary paperwork with the DOR. The DOR then forwards the order to the Town Assessor who then removes the property from the assessment roll. The DOR did not notify the assessor so the property was taxed by the Town. This is considered an illegal tax which is to be refunded to Alliant, and the Chargeback Procedure is filed by the clerk and refunds will arrive later in the year.
Bills were presented and approved for payment on a motion by Bill and second by Adam.
Brushing of town roads is to be placed on next month’s agenda for the meeting which will be held on February 16th at 7:00 p.m.
Adam moved, and Bill seconded to adjourn and the meeting was adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
