RECENT TOWN BOARD MINUTES
DALE TOWN BOARD MEETING
AUGUST 13, 2018
DALE MUNICIPAL BUILDING
Chairperson Wunderlich called the meeting to order at 7:00p.m., with Supervisor Laabs, Supervisor Degal, Treasurer Sandy Noffke, Clerk Jenny DeZeeuw, Fire Chief and Building Inspector Jim Emmons and residents present.
No Outagamie County Officer was present.
After reviewing recommendations from Town Engineer Al Guerts, Supervisor Degal made a motion to deny a request to extend an existing culvert and fill in the ditch at W8936 Great Oaks Lane, seconded by Supervisor Laabs, motion carried. Mr. Guerts did not see a safety concern with the ditch; no steep sections that would make mowing difficult. Ditches provide snow storage in the winter. Long culverts typically freeze up much quicker in the winter. Aesthetic reasons to fill it did not outweigh the functional purpose for ditches in rural areas.
Chairperson Wunderlich spoke to Engineer Al Guerts and Attorney Forsgren about the possibility of billing the State of Wisconsin for damage done to School Road during road construction on Hwy 45 and State Road 96 and/or reimbursement for signs and barricades. Both thought it was unlikely. Proving the condition of the road prior to the construction would be difficult without having extensive pictures and video.
Outagamie County Emergency Management gave the Town 32 weather radios and offered more for purchase. The deadline for purchase was prior to discussion. Chairperson Wunderlich made a motion not to purchase additional weather radios at this time, seconded by Supervisor Laabs, motion carried. The price of the radios was the same as could be purchased from local stores, so there is no advantage to purchasing a large quantity to have on hand. It is recommended that all residents sign up for the Public Emergency Alert Notification System by visiting https://alerts5.athoc.com/SelfService/3949039/Register
