Minutes from Special Meeting

MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETINGTOWN OF LITTLE WOLFThursday, February 29, 2024LITTLE WOLF TOWN HALL The Town Board Chairman called the Special Meeting to Order at 6:00 pm. Board members present were: Moede, Beyer, Niemuth(via phone) and J. Beyer. There were no residents/visitors present. Discussion regarding the ARIP funding took place. The criteria/requirements for application were discussed. R. Beyer watched the DOT webinar and stated he felt we were not going to be competitive, based on our Towns responses to the application. . J. Beyer stated there aren’t a lot of permits issued to exceed the weight limits during the Spring Wt Limits. Niemuth felt there were too many restrictions for the town to qualify; mainly the requirement that a road has been physically posted in at least 30 days of the preceding 12 months. The economic impact to the agribusiness on any road used to apply for the grant is required. That comes from the farmers or any agribusiness, including logging. To do any engineering in order to apply for the grant seemed a poor spend of the taxpayer monies, as it is not a guaranteed return on the investment, based on what the board believed to be a low economic impact when compared to other applicants. Niemuth/Beyer to suspend working towards applying for the first round of ARIP monies, and to continue getting information to allow applying for the second round of the ARIP funding. Carried by all. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:05 pm.These Minutes are subject to Board Approval.Respectfully Submitted,Jackie Beyer, Clerk

After a presentation at the Towns Association meeting on February 15th, Casey Beyersdorf explained what was required and the administration of the inventory including data entry and submittal to the DOT. It was clear the County could do the work for the $100 per structure that the DOT is going to pay to the entity doing the inventory. So, in short, the Town can comply and not spend any money on the process at this point. Beyer/Niemuth to approve having the Waupaca County Highway Dept do the Culvert Inventory for the Town. Carried 3-0.The subject matter for this meeting was the Road grant monies for application, via the AgRIP program. There is a total of $50,000,000 of a pot of money to be awarded on this first ‘round’. ** There will be a ‘second round’ of applications later in the year. In order to apply for consideration, the Town must hire an engineering service. A normal cost of 1 mile of road these days is $1 million dollars, plus at least an 8% upcharge for the engineering. The Town did send a request for proposals for engineering, but only received one so far. Motion by Moede/Niemuth to put an RFP in the town’s paper, using White Clover Rd as our project, to acquire an engineering service. Carried 3-0. This will give the required info, so the quote on the construction can be sought. Then, an impact statement from a farmer/agribusiness must be obtained and included in the grant application. Any engineering report we acquire can be used for any grant applications, until one is awarded. This means the Town can use the same report for the second grant opportunity or LRIP or TRIP grants in the future. The Board decided to move forward with acquiring the required parts of the application, by a motion by Niemuth/Beyer. Carried 3-0. A reminder of how grant monies work: once the bills are paid, by the Town, and proof of payment submitted, then the grant money gets reimbursed to the Town. That is, the amount we are actually awarded, which is not guaranteed or a guarantee of the percent of award.There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:05 pm.Respectfully Submitted,Jackie Beyer, Clerk **Clerks note: after more information was received, the minutes were clarified to reflect that information.

More discussion in the business section. Business:Moede informed the Board of the dog call from July 1st, and the Sheriff’s Department asked the Town to take possession/responsibility of the dog belonging to an incarcerated transient. Moede was out of town, and deferred to the Sheriff’s department, as the owner was not a town resident, or a stray. He asked them to take it to the humane society. The dog owner had been arrested in the town, but was not our resident, therefore not our dog. Further discussion took place regarding the Town hiring a humane officer. Clerk will do some research on cost. R. Beyer updated on the Fahser’s Bridge Landing; the Property Committee is expecting to approve it and send it to the County Board. Then a quit claim will be executed. If all goes well, after that, we can expect it to be County maintained. Three Land Use Permits: two for accessory structures and one for a dwelling. Fire/Ambulance: both departments worked over the Rodeo weekend. All of the Wildland gear has been received. One new member on board. Brush truck is now expected in August or September. Ambulance did great on their Walking Taco sale. They are currently selling calendar raffle tickets. The community support is much appreciated! Building Use: generator was not showing a green light. Doing a reset brought it back to green light. Beyer will call tomorrow to see if it needs to be looked at. The stones got put around the generator and the building where needed. The chairs in the community room have been recovered. Roads: Ditching on Swan has been done. Waiting on a quote for Spring Creek Rd, for ditching. Beyer spoke to the company that will be repairing the culvert and the road surface on Swan Rd, where they reclaimed the pit. A quote for the ditching on Doud Rd, for a quarter of a mile, came in at $11,000. Discussion on doing it this year, maybe with some modifications of method. Correspondence was reviewed. Bills and checks were presented for payment. Checks numbering 3921-3934 were presented for payables. Moede/Beyer to approve payment of bills with checks 3921-3934. Carried 3-0. Moede/Beyer to adjourn. Meeting was adjourned at 8:07 pm. These minutes are subject to Board approval.Respectfully submitted, Jackie Beyer, Clerk
