MINUTES OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD BOARD MEETING 

October 13th, 2022 

 

The Board meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Steve Kube.  Steve Kube, Tony Schadt, Duane Bennett and 11 citizens were present. 

 

The minutes from the September 8th, 2022 meeting were read by Karen Schadt.  Tony Schadt motioned to approve the minutes as read and Duane Bennett seconded the motion.  

 

The treasurer’s report was read by Kathy Redmer.  Steve Kube motioned to approve the report as read, Duane Bennett seconded the motion.   

 

For Public Input, the following items were discussed: 

 

The Waterloo Fire Chief Benisch was in attendance to go over the Waterloo Fire Department 2023 Contract and Budget.  They are in the works of re-writing the contracts due to the fact that they have not been updated since 1986.  He wants them to read the specific breakdown of splits and how they are generated and calculated.  He encouraged the Milford Town Board members to attend the budget meeting on Monday, October 17th at 6pm.  

   

Steve Kube confirmed that the Lake Mills EMS 2023 budget is $17.00/capita of 659 Milford residents which will come to $11,203. 

 

Steve Kube stated he received a mailing advertising a secondary internet provider trying to make it’s way into the township.   

 

Clem Mess stated there is a tree down across from his barn in the right of way, it does not matter to him if the wood is left for him to use or if someone else wants to help themselves, as long as it is cut down and removed to prevent road blockage. 

 

The Treasurer’s printer needs replacing, it is many years old and stopped working.  A request was made by Kathy Redmer to purchase a new printer, preferably one that matches the same toner cartridges as the clerk’s for simplicity.  Tony Schadt motioned to approve this request, and Steve Kube seconded the motion and the motion passed. 

 

Steve Kube verified that Fahrner will be finishing the chip sealing job in spring, they are not able to complete this year. They will be honoring all bid prices for Manske Road chip sealing at the same price as was originally approved.  

 

.GOV emails for the township officials should be able to be completed in October, Trisha Miller is working with Cheney Systems to get this completed and will give updates as they come about. 

 

Rodriguez Rezoning decision for W5245 Navan Road to request a split of 1 acre for future mobile home placement was motioned to be tabled to the November meeting due to requestor not in attendance. This was motioned by Steve Kube and seconded by Tony Schadt. 

 

There were three operators licenses for Sidetracked Bar & Grill (Kelli Robl, Tina Manke, & Bailey Kerr) – all were verified and cleared by Trisha Miller prior to this meeting.  Tony Schadt motioned to approve if they have passed background check, and Steve Kube seconded the motion and the motion passed.

Correspondence received and the listing of bills to be paid were reviewed. 

 

There being no further business to come before the Board, a motion was made by Steve Kube to adjourn the meeting, Duane Bennett seconded the motion and the motion passed. The meeting was adjourned by Steve Kube at 8:20 pm.

MINUTES OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD BOARD MEETING 

September 8th, 2022 

 

The Board meeting was called to order at 7:37 p.m. by Chairman Steve Kube.  Steve Kube, Tony Schadt, Duane Bennett and 9 citizens were present. 

 

The minutes from the August 14th, 2022 meeting were read by Trisha Miller.  Tony Schadt motioned to approve the minutes as read and Duane Bennett seconded the motion.  

 

The treasurer’s report was read by Trisha Miller.  Duane Bennett motioned to approve the report as read, Tony Schadt seconded the motion.   

 

For Public Input, the following items were discussed: 

 

Trisha Miller mentioned a question that was asked from the Watertown postal service and Jefferson County Zoning Office about Reichert Lane regarding if it is spelled correctly on the road sign or not and if we could change it according to what it states on the county maps and on google maps.  The complaint was many times mail is mailed to the incorrect spelling and it becomes hard for the mail carrier to determine where addresses are located on this road.  It had come to be after discussions that the spelling will preside as how the road name is spelled on the physical road sign.  It was later on verified the road sign reads Reichert Lane – it was forwarded to Jefferson county Zoning Office that it will remain as such with the Town of Milford as Reichert Lane. 

 

Scot’s Construction bill arrived for much more than what the bid was accepted.  The original bid was for 98T at $190/T which would have been a total invoice amount for $18,620.  The final invoice came through for 154T at $190/T for a total of $29,260.  Steve Kube stated he approved 130T over the phone with Scot’s Construction, but was not aware of 154T and will be calling them.  The check will not be mailed until Steve follows up with the Treasurer and gives her the clear to mail out the check. 

 

Steve Kube had talked with Fahrner and they have decided to not stand by their approved bid for Manske Road chip sealing if it is completed this late in the season and will be doing it first thing available next season 2023, honoring the same contracted price as original bid was approved. 

 

Steve Kube informed the attendees that Wilke’s last day of his term ended and that the EMS/Fire contracts with Lake Mills will be in discussion again.  Updates will be given as the Board receives them. 

 

Steve Kube brought up Year to Date budget notifications and status reports being provided to the board.  He mentioned that he has been asking for the last three years for monthly reports, but only a few times has it been produced.  The topic came up again about having QuickBooks on both Clerk and Treasurer laptops and how the audit suggested this.  Trisha Miller reminded those in attendance as it has been mentioned numerous times in the past, in 2019 it was not a true audit, it was a minor review that was conducted.  This was primarily completed as a review rather than a true audit due to cost.  Trisha Miller spoke to the representative in 2019 about the results of the review and provided and read an entire summary to the Town of Milford on what was suggested at that time based on her discussion with the representative.  It was determined from the representative at Capitol Accountants that there is not a need to duplicate QuickBooks on both Clerk and Treasurer computers, and it would be a waste of time and efforts if this duty was duplicated by both positions.  There is legally adequate dual control in place at this time in the Town of Milford between the duties and transactions being performed.  Between the clerk putting together the bills to be paid, the treasurer writing the checks, the clerk entering all accounting transactions into QuickBooks, the treasurer doing a monthly bank reconciliation, and the final control of the chairman and board signing off on all checks and electronic transactions it would be very hard for an error or illegal actions to take place with all of that in place.  Steve Kube motioned for the reporting to be provided to the Board regarding the budget status of the township every month going forward.  Tony Schadt seconded the motion and the motion passed. 

 

The 2000 International plow truck was officially sold on August 15th and money has been received from the auction. 

 

Kathy Redmer requested approval and status on what the Board wants to do regarding the ARPA and Equipment funds to replenish the Money Market fund before end of year to be able to pay the bills for the rest of the year.  The Board agreed that the fund to be used to pay the 2022 Payment for the plow truck loan will be determined closer to the end of the year, the ARPA fund will be used for the Waterloo Fire Department radio that was purchased, and the ARPA fund will also pay for the Scot’s Construction (Manske Road wedging). 

 

At the July meeting, it was inquired by Steve Kube for someone to inquire to the insurance company about the mold that is coming about in the basement from the various leaks from the water heater back in winter and now the water pump.  He has put a dehumidifier down there, but it has not cleared up the mold.  Trisha Miller contacted our insurance representative, and many questions were asked that need to be answered.  Questions such as: when did this for sure happen, what kind of walls are in the area of mold, what was the root cause of the initial water damage that we believe caused this mold to come about, what was tried to clean up thus far, insurance needs pictures.  The representative also stated that more often than not, mold claims are not approved – in this case, a mold claim that originally happened back in winter time that is just now being claimed.  If we choose to try and claim, we need to submit pictures of the mold, we also need to try and clean it up with bleach water and disinfectant and see if that takes it away, as well as get him answers to all of his questions.  Then giving him answers to the questions he asked, a claim would be submitted and we would have to wait on determination of approval at that time.  Steve Kube stated he will try and see if bleach water and disinfectant will resolve the mold issue and report results to the next meeting. 

 

Trisha Miller gave an update on the .GOV email domain project – it has been determined that this will not only be time consuming, but this project will also need some professional IT advice and setup in order to proceed properly.  It was suggested to contact Cheney Systems (our website domain provider), they might be able to help.  Trisha agreed to proceed to contact a professional IT company so this project can move forward. 

 

Evaluation of the picnic permit application was discussed.  It was agreed upon that we will be updating the form to be an event permit application.  Steve Kube motioned to proceed with the application update at budget meetings in the near future for an effective date of January 1st, 2023 and Tony Schadt seconded the motion and the motion passed. 

 

The rezoning decision and presentation was tabled to October’s meetings due to Rodriguez not being in attendance at either planning commission meeting or Town Board meeting.  Steve Kube motioned to table this discussion and decision to the October meeting when constituent is present, Tony Schadt seconded the motion and the motion passed. 

 

Fire/EMS Reports (3) were reviewed.  

 

Correspondence received and the listing of bills to be paid were reviewed. 

 

There being no further business to come before the Board, a motion was made by Steve Kube to adjourn the meeting, Tony Schadt seconded the motion and the motion passed. The meeting was adjourned by Steve Kube at 8:45 pm.   

 

Respectfully submitted,

MINUTES OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD BOARD MEETING 

August 11th, 2022 

 

The Board meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Steve Kube.  Steve Kube, Tony Schadt, Duane Bennett and 18 citizens were present. 

 

The minutes from the July 14th, 2022 meeting were read by Trisha Miller.  Duane Bennett motioned to approve the minutes as read and Tony Schadt seconded the motion.  

 

The minutes from the July 30th, 2022 meeting were read by Trisha Miller.  Duane Bennett motioned to approve the minutes as read and Tony Schadt seconded the motion. 

 

The treasurer’s report was read by Kathy Redmer.  Tony Schadt motioned to approve the report as read, Duane Bennett seconded the motion.   

 

For Public Input, the following items were discussed: 

 

The Board was asked to set and vote on a reserve amount for the online auction.  Steve Kube asked for a contract with the auction which was not provided to the Board before sale.  The board never voted on putting the plow truck up for sale on the Hansen and Young online auction.  Dave Messmer was listed as the contact for the plow truck.  Dave took it upon himself to list with the pictures of the plow truck for sale.  After this was acknowledged it was not the proper process that was followed, Steve Kube motioned to approve setting the reserve at $14,000 and Duane Bennett seconded the motion and the motion passed.  It was added that if the truck does not sell at the August auction for the reserve, it will then be listed by Steve Kube on the Wisconsin Surplus Auction site with the same $14,000 reserve.  Steve Kube motioned this would take place if no sale was finalized at Hansen and Young, Tony Schadt seconded the motion and the motion passed. 

 

There was a request for information from the Waterloo-Marshall courier to the Board during the month of July, it was determined that no response will be given to them by any member of the Board.  

 

The issue of mold in the basement of the Town Hall was brought up if we should make an inquiry to the insurance company.  This was tabled to September, the insurance company will be asked about claim information/direction. 

 

The WTA article regarding .GOV emails and the security need for municipalities to have them was discussed.  At this time no official of Town of Milford has a .GOV email.  Trisha Miller stated the need for separation of personal and official emails being used and the importance of all officials having a separate email designated for that official position.  There was no information in the WTA article as far as how much this would cost, but Trisha Miller is going to be looking into that before the next meeting to see if that is something we want to pursue with the grant that is available of $600 at this time.  After discussion, it was motioned by Steve Kube that the Town of Milford would pursue .GOV emails for the officials of our township despite not knowing the cost involved at this point because of the importance of the township information security within emails.  Tony Schadt seconded the motion and the motion passed.   

 

Steve Kube discussed how the Watertown Rural Fire Department has signed the contract for the new water tank truck that has been discussed for the last several months. 

 

Larry Zubke was in attendance and presented his plan to purchase the old Gigantes building in hopes to remodel and open as a restaurant and bar.  He inquired about available liquor licenses in the township.  It was determined there is still one available, he will be submitting application papers for review next month.  

 

A representative from Lakeside Contruction presented the request for the Brenda Blank variance request at W6436 County Road A.  The request was for adding a handicapped breezeway from the existing house to the existing garage which falls within the right of way.  Tony Schadt motioned to approve the variance and Duane Bennett seconded the motion and the motion passed. 

 

The Jefferson County Zoning Ordinance Update was reviewed by the Planning Commission.  Steve Kube motioned to approve the update as it reads and Tony Schadt seconded the motion and the motion passed. 

 

Paola Rodriguez presented her request of rezoning of 1 acre on existing property to A-3 zoned for placement of a mobile home in the future.  There was questions in regards to if this land is allowed to be split to determine if the rest of the lot would need to be rezoned as well.  Steve Duwe was going to followup with county zoning to clarify these questions before the September meeting.   

  

Paige Schmutzler was in attendance for a driveway permit request on Navan Road.  Steve Kube motioned to approve this driveway request and Tony Schadt seconded the motion and the motion passed.   

 

Tammy Chwala was in attendance with her request of the annual JCSA Watercross Event picnic permit.  She brought up the fact of the application is for alcoholic sales in which they do not sell during this event.  This event is on Rubidell Resort property and any sales of alcohol on their property for any of the events falls under their liquor license.  The town will review this application and possibly install a new application process for picnics with no alcohol sales vs picnics with alcohol sales. 

 

Sidetracked Bar and Grill was in attendance for their request for a liquor license for their new business in Hubbleton off of HWY 19.  The application was reviewed and Steve Kube motioned to approve the liquor license as presented and Duane Bennett seconded the motion and the motion passed.
