Old Business
- None.
New Business
- Road Repairs-Before beginning the road project discussion, Ann felt that the Board should first discuss the possibility of using some of our surplus funds towards road repairs. The Town currently budgeted $85,000 for repairs, but now thought they could increase that amount by $20,000 for a total of $105,000. Following a road inspection conducted on April 26th, Alex Hageman from the Highway Department guided the Town Board through the process of determining which roads needed the most attention at this time. Appearing with a summary sheet of nineteen possible projects for a total of $190,000, the board made their decisions as follows. Dan Reeson move to complete all projects except #2603, #2612, and #2615 for a total cost of $107,586.50.
- New Plan Commission member needed– The newest member of the Plan Commission, Brandy Lyda, has decided to move away from the area, so a replacement is necessary. Bethany Storm indicated she would be interested in becoming a member. Dan Reeson move to appoint Bethany Storm to the Plan Commission membership, Tim Czerwonka 2nd the motion. Motion carried.
- Pay Raise form Plan Commission Secretary– Terri Nipple is seeking an increase in her per diems since she has to spend considerable time to get ready for each monthly meeting. Steve Hermanson move to raise Terri’s per diem from $30 per meeting to $50 per meeting, Dan Reeson 2nd the motion. Motion carried.
- Gift card for Lyle Klosterman-Steve Hermanson moved to purchase a $75 gift card for Lyle Klosterman for his many years of service to the Town of York as a supervisor, and Tim Czerwonka 2nd the motion. Motion carried.
Adjournment– Steve Hermanson move to adjourn the meeting, Tim Czerwonka 2nd the motion. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 9:33 P.M.
