Public Comment:

MOU Solid Waste and Recycling Dept:

Stacy Sanborn Director of the Vernon County Solid Waste and Recycling Department attended to ask the Town to sign a Memorandum of Understanding requiring our waster hauler to haul our waste to the Vernon County Landfill. In exchange for putting this in our contracts the Town will get a rebate back in January; rebate will depend on waste tonnage and amount is not set yet. Stacy has 10 townships that have signed so far. The Vernon County Board needs proof townships will support the landfill expansion before they will commit to expanding. The Board will discuss more, no action taken at this time.

Annual Audit:

Supervisor Stock received a proposal from Pederson Accounting & Tax Service LLC for a complete audit (retainer of $2,000.00, hourly rate of $150 for all hours worked) and a cost estimate from Johnson Block ($20,000.00-25,000.00). Melanie from Johnson Block felt Townships benefited more from a procedure review. Supervisor Stock will get a quote on a procedure review from them.

Dumpster Service:

Big Hook Trucking & Disposal withdrew the proposal submitted last meeting for front loader dumpsters. They will work up a new proposal with other dumpster options. No action taken.

Site Permit Review:
