The Clerk noted that notice of the meeting had been posted in three locations, on the
Town website, and emailed to those on record as requesting such notification.

Treasurer Conny Crothers presented the monthly financial report which was approved
for filing with a motion by Jason, second by Adam. Motion carried.

The Town of Jackson has agreed to pay for half of the needed repairs to Gale Ave. from

pay for the work. At that point an Invoice for half the cost will be presented to the Town
of Jackson for reimbursement.
Jay will meet with Jeff Delmore of Delmore Consulting and present a list of road work to

publication in the County paper and a special meeting of the Town Board will be
scheduled to open and possibly accept bids.
The Town of Newport had suggested ways of having our roadsides mowed but the cost
seemed too high. David Henke of rural Portage has requested to do the work for a
much lower rate. Adam moved and Jason seconded to have Jay meet with Mr. Henke,
view the roads, and if the bid still stands to sign the contract without further Board
approval. Motion carried.
Spraying brush in the rights of way was discussed. Those who wish to have their
property not sprayed must post visible signs to indicate the areas to be left alone. The
Clerk is to post a notice on the website indicating when the spraying will take place and

August, and that the 4H Club will be gathering at the Town Hall on Saturday, May 17 th to
