Old Business –
PPSSD – Clerk Manninen reported that letters were sent out to the members of the Pucks Point Sanitary Sewer District providing information on the 2023 operation of the district and an explanation of individual 2024 service fees.
Community Sewer Project – John Stegmeir gave an update on the project and the results from the letters that were sent out. Regarding proposal 1, should the areas F,G,H and J be combined into one Sanitary Sewer district, the 22 members who responded all said yes so they will be combined. Proposal 2, should all property owners in the proposed enlarged district be eligible to vote for the expansion of the district. Only 11 members voted yes on this proposal. 25% of the whole district must vote on this proposal, since that did not happen the current members will not vote on adding additional properties.
For the consolidation the township must create a resolution and then have a public hearing. For adding more properties we will have to send out petitions to all those properties and follow the process that we did for the original members.
The Township received a letter from the Department of natural Resources regarding our request to obtain school trust lands. They have indicated that they have received many requests for permanent infrastructure, and they have determined there is a need to develop a standardized approach for evaluating requests of this nature. They will reach out to us again once this process is firmly in place.
There is a public hearing scheduled for February 22, at 7:00 pm here at the Town Hall. SEH will be here to discuss the findings of the Facility Plan for the Kabetogama Collection and Treatment System.
Roads – Nothing new
Community Center – The leak in the utility room has been fixed. Supervisor T. Tomczak will speak with B. Olson regarding the use of the Community Club property across from the Town Hall.
Levy Discussion – the board reviewed the proposed 2025 levy. The levy will be voted on at the Annual meeting on March 12, 2024.
