TB minutes 10-16-25
Minutes of October, 2025
Town of New Haven, Adams County, Wisconsin
The October meeting of the New Haven Town Board was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by
Chairman Jay Churco. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited and the Clerk noted that
proper notice had been given by posting, placing on the Town web site, and by email to
those requesting that form of notification.
Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved for filing with a motion by
Supervisor Jason Musiedlak, second by Jay Churco, and unanimous voice vote.
The Treasurer’s report was reviewed and approved for filing with a motion by Jason, second
by Jay, and unanimous voice vote.
John Konkel was present and has requested Board approval of a Special Exception allowing
him to construct a storage shed on his vacant lot on the north side of Golden Drive. Since
the lot is not very suitable for building a home and since there are other lots in the same
area with storage sheds, the Board agreed to approve the request. It is understood that to
comply with zoning requirements there will need to be a Deed Restriction stating that Lots
21 and 27 in the Lake Mason Wonderland subdivision are not to be sold separately. Motion
to approve the request with the condition was made by Jason, second by Jay and the
motion carried unanimously.
Improvements are needed to the Town Hall and grounds. Kevin Reid has submitted a bid to
clean the gutters, cut back small trees growing where they should not be, and pressure
wash the building in the amount of $1,175.00. Other repairs needed are replacement of a
basement window, leveling of the Notice Board, repainting of the sign, and painting of the
handicapped accessible ramp.
Discussion regarding submitting a road for the LRIP program resulted in Golden Ave. from
5th Avenue west to the Town line being a priority. Delmore Consulting will prepare the
necessary documents to present to the County Committee.
The Clerk noted that just that day the Summary of Aggregate Ratios had been published
showing that even after the recently completed Reassessment New Haven’s ratio was
98.53%.
Matt Hernandez, Transfer Site Attendant, announced his Wednesday hours will be from
2:00 to 5:00 p.m. beginning in November. Saturdays will remain unchanged.
Chairman Churco reported that he had met with Pat Pare of the Highway Departmen and
cutting of brush would begin soon and that he had presented a map of the areas most
needing attention.
Vouchers presented to the Clerk were approved for payment with a motion by Jason,
second by Jay, and unanimous voice vote.
The next meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m. on November 20th and will begin with the Budget
Hearing, followed by the Special Town Meeting to approve the Tax Levy, followed by the
regular monthly meeting.
Jason moved for adjournment and the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned at 7:45
p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Kenneth Crothers, Town Clerk
