Old Business
- Implements of Husbandry (IOH)– Chairman Dan Reeson had received his first no fee application which he had to deny due to overweight.
New Business
- County Wide Assessment Resolution-The Wisconsin Department of Revenue is proposing to change from municipal assessment to county assessment that requires 100% assessment of every property every year. The Wisconsin Towns Association is strongly opposed to this measure as are many Towns in the State because it will be a waste of taxpayer dollars and would take control away from local municipalities. Nancy read a resolution stating our opposition. Dan Reeson move to approve the resolution, Dan Truttmann 2nd the motion. Motion carried. The signed resolution will be mailed to our State Legislators.
Adjournment– Dan Truttmann move to adjourn the meeting, Dan Reeson 2nd the motion. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 8:45 P.M.
