The minutes from the February 11^th, 2021, meeting were read.  Matt Kaminski motioned to approve and Steve Kube seconded.

For Public Input, the following items were discussed:

Trisha Miller reminded attendees of the Spring Election on April 6^th, 2021.

The implementation of Fire fees were discussed and how the township can follow other area municipalities to generate a small offset to the rising costs of our fire contract costs.  After discussion, it was decided to table this topic for next month’s town board meeting and board members will be inquiring to other resources such as WTA to see what our options are and how to implement them.  WTA does have a district meeting discussing this topic on the 23^rd of March.

Steve Duwe attended the Drainage DIstrict #32 meeting at county, they will be fixing drainage on Q and West Road.  Steve suggested it would be a good time since Jaeckel Brothers would have all the big equipment for that job to coordinate any culverts in that vacinity at the same time to save some expenses.

Fire/EMS Reports (3), Zoning Requests (0), Permit Requests (0), and Operators licenses (0) were reviewed.

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

Other business that came before the board was for the Tuyls property and the rezoning request from county – this will not need to have a Town of Milford vote by Planning Commission and Board because it is community property.  Matt Kaminski and Steve Duwe suggested contacting Matt Zengel at county zoning just to verify before signing off on request by chairman.

There being no further business to come before the Board, a motion was made by Matthew Kaminski to adjourn the meeting,  Jason Hoffman seconded the motion and the motion passed.

The implementation of Fire fees were discussed and how the township can follow other area municipalities to generate a small offset to the rising costs of our fire contract costs.  It was found as inquiring to other local municipalities that Aztalan adds an additional tax fee onto all parcels in their township.  The Board had an example for the Town of Milford to use and presented it based on the same formula that would come to an additional $84.90 per $100,000 of assessed value of all property owned by the taxpayer.  This was just an example of something that we could potentially propose at a later date.  After much discussion, it was decided to table this topic for next month’s town board meeting and board members will be inquiring to other resources such as WTA to see what our options are and how to implement them.

The discussion to adapt a policy in the township regarding the payout to reimburse property owners for mailboxes when they get hit by a snow plow.  It was decided we keep the current process in place when that happens which is for the board to decide on a case by case basis as the issue comes about.

A citizen requested there be ATV signs be placed on Manske Road because many ATVs/UTVs are driving on the road.  The board suggested to go to county and request this, the Town of Milford has already decided in previous meetings they will act once county agrees first.  The citizens were reminded again that county is responsible for all of our township signage and that everything goes through them and is approved by them.

Steve Kube mentioned road closed signs that will be seen for Manske Road and French Road for culvert replacements, please abide by the construction workers requests and do not use these roads at this time while working on culverts because drivers will not be able to pass through these roads when the cross road culverts are being replaced.

MINUTES OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD BOARD MEETING

May 14^th, 2020

The Board meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Matt Kaminski.  All board members and 4 citizens were present.

The minutes from the April 9^th, 2020, meeting were read by Trisha Miller.  Matt Kaminski motioned to approve and Jason Hoffman seconded motion.

The treasurer’s report was read by Kathy Redmer.  Jason Hoffman motioned to approve Matt Kaminski seconded the motion.

Public Input items were discussed.  Linda Funk had submitted via email to the board a letter requesting that it be considered by the board to lower fees for the 2020-2021 liquor licenses for all of the township taverns due to the recent economic and social pandemic that has been occurring.  The board discussed and decided to uphold the current fee schedule into the 2020-2021 liquor license year to the same fees that have been in the past.

Jason Hoffman had been contacted by Harold Zirbel regarding the boat launch @ Hubbleton.  The previous board had agreed to help fund a partial portion of this project up to $500 upon completion.  The current board agreed, once this project is completed, the Town of Milford will pay up to $500 to the vendor completing this project upon receipt of a bill presented to the board.

The canoe launch on Olsen Road was discussed – citizens are using this launch as a small boat launch with vehicles and trailers being parked along Olsen Road.  This is not acceptable, signage and a barricade will be put up by the township to help prevent this in the future. 

Trisha Miller verified with board members that Culvert Aid monies that are applied for the 2019-2020 season (received in 2021) need to be applied for by 6/30/20, therefore all billings and culvert work needs to be turned in and completed  by 5/31/20 in order to properly apply for Culvert Aid.

Kathy Redmer submitted to the board for signatures by the chairman an overdraft protection automatic transfer form for the Bank of Lake Mills.  This is to protect the town of any overdraft fees that may occur by performing an automatic transfer from one account to the other at the Bank of Lake Mills in the event of an overdraft to occur.

The 2020 Road Maintenance budget was discussed  to inform the township that it is possible that the board may need to obtain a Road Maintenance loan this year due to the amount of road maintenance that needs to occur to obtain more road aid from the state.  In the two previous years (2018 in particular), the township did not spend enough of their own funds in road maintenance, therefore in order to receive proper road aid from the state for the year 2022, the town of Milford needs to spend an additional $25,000 above and beyond the normal 2020 requirements of expenditures in road maintenance in order to be eligible to receive additional funds close to the amount of $50,000.

The Annual Meeting had been postponed to May 19^th, 2020 due to the safer at home orders from Gov Evers.  Matt Kaminski motioned to move that postponed date to June 2^nd, 2020 which is after the safer at home order is lifted.  Steve Kube seconded the motion and the motion passed. 

The 2020 Road Maintenance Bids received were read by Jason Hoffman and reviewed by the board.  Matt Kaminski motioned to approve, and Jason Hoffman seconded all bids presented. 

The listing of bills to be paid were reviewed.

There being no further business to come before the Board, a motion was made by Matthew Kaminski to adjourn the meeting.  Jason Hoffman seconded the motion and the motion passed. The meeting was adjourned by Matthew Kaminski at 8:17 pm.

It was determined and discussed that for the safety of the community and township, any future Town of Milford Board Meetings or Planning Commission Meetings that would normally occur during the safer at home order(s) declared by Gov. Evers or higher powers at hand of the government of the United States of America will be postponed unless it is deemed an essential critical business matter that needs to be addressed or voted on by the Town Board.
