The request will be put on the February agenda for discussion and approval.
Old Business
New Business
- Electronic Building Permit System– A new online submission process for building permits has been launched this month by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services which requires all municipalities submit building permits online monthly in a timely manner. All municipalities must be in compliance with this new process beginning on January 2, 2018. Building Inspector, Mike Fenley, will help us with the process.
- Area Broadband Discussion– Tim Czerwonka enlisted the help of Chip Hankley with this matter. Grants are available to underserved areas, which we are in York. Much more information will need to be gathered, and all units of government need to speak with one voice in order to be heard. Chip volunteered to help in this matter.
Adjournment– Steve Hermanson move to adjourn the meeting, Tim Czerwonka 2nd the motion. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 8:57 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Nancy Anderson, Clerk
