CLERK’S REPORT

  • Town Road Mileage Certification 2026 needs to be submitted – The board reviewed the roads list and confirmed that everything is correct (27.48 miles) with no changes.
  • Upcoming season of snowplowing driveways of residents – Notification postcards will be mailed out tomorrow. Plowing rate will remain the same for the 2026-2027 season.
  • CTAS 2026 Update 3 is complete
  • Quarter 3 941s, Paid Leave and UI have been submitted
  • Received notification that PERA Exclusion Report has never been completed. Kathleen set up a new account for the township and submitted the 2025 report so now we’re in compliance.
  • The township website needs to be updated to a .gov address. Glen Williamson is still working on this and it is almost complete.
  • Concern over cyber security risk with financial reports being shown on website. Kathleen spoke with Graham, who is the MAT lawyer regarding this and he recommends that townships no longer post their financial reports within the monthly minutes on their website. However, these financial reports still need to remain available to the public, so copies will be present for the public to review during the monthly meetings, or by request via the Clerk. If the public wants to keep a copy of the financial records, they will need to sign an affidavit. The board is in agreement that this is the best step forward.
  • Received a letter from a debt collector regarding our previous contract with AT&T that we’ve been unable to cancel due to them not having our correct address and our account PIN number cannot be retrieved. We haven’t used AT&T for over a year and now use Starlink. Kathleen will call the debt collector to see how this can be resolved.
  • Upcoming Events:
    • Pine County Township Officers’ Association Meeting is on October 31st at 9am
    • State General Election on November 3rd. New Dosey Township is a mail-in ballot jurisdiction. Office that will be on the ballot for our jurisdiction is the North Pine Association Hospital District Seat for New Dosey Township.
    • MAT Annual Conference on December 10th-12th at Grand View Lodge

OLD BUSINESS

  • Road work – Completed for the year. They finished the remaining section of road on Kingsdale (3.5 miles up to a portion of Rocky Blvd).
  • Grader maintenance – Annual service, wiper service, and few other repairs have been completed and the check to pay for the service was signed by the board today ($3,641.77)
  • Plow truck maintenance – Repairs have been completed (U-joints, axle seals, full service) and the trick needs to be picked up. The transmission leak was actually just the transmission pan leaking through, not the seal. The check for this was signed by the board today ($1,659.54)

NEW BUSINESS

  • Road work – No beaver activity anymore in the big culvert on Kingsdale Rd
  • Garbage Board – David went to the most recent meeting and reports that they gave everyone a raise of $1 to adjust for the rise in cost of living. David asked about the trouble with the Kingsdale dumpster and the board said there’s not much that can be done except self-police it. Could put a sign up. David asked John and Bob how this past month has gone and they report that the dumpster has been quite full and numerous cars have been coming in. Some Wisconsin plates. The only true way to resolve the issue is to remove the dumpster entirely and go back to individual trash canisters. David will talk to the garbage board to determine the right wording to use to make up a sign.
  • Hospital Board – Don Eddy attended the last meeting and states that there’s no big updates to report.

Anything else to come to the board? None.

Next meeting is Tuesday, November 10th, 2026 @ 5:30 PM

Meeting adjourned at 6:08 PM

Respectfully submitted,

Kathleen Krejci, Clerk
