Please take time to read this week’s Friday Memo- -a general recap of the week and upcoming news.  As always, should you like more information, I ask that you call the office, e-mail or stop in.  Thanks for your continued support. 

 

    1. The Annual Meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday, 4/16 beginning at 6:00pm.  The April Board Meeting will immediately follow on the same night.
    2. 6 bids were received at the Mound Rd. Restoration project bid opening on 3/15.  Batterman has prepared a bid summary that is included in your Board Meeting packet.  The Lake Committee voted to recommend awarding the low bid submitted by R&T Voegeli Excavating for $86,402.  Tuesday’s Board Meeting agenda.
    3. Road Chip Sealing bids were opened at the Public Works Committee and recommended awarding the low bid by Scott Construction for $89,595.  Tuesday’s Board Meeting agenda.    
    4. The proposed ordinance for ATV/UTV Regulations is also included on Tuesday’s Board Meeting agenda.  Expect discussion and comments at the Annual Meeting as well.  The Police Committee has recommended a draft. 
    5. Dan Lemanski, 2511 Rockford Colony Lane, has applied to the Plan Commission for a Variance to allow an Accessory Structure without a Principal Structure or house on a separate parcel he owns off North Shore Dr - #FD2800011D.  The Plan Commission voted unanimously to recommend granting the Variance.  Tuesday’s Board Meeting agenda.
    6. Back in February, we contacted all our boundary limit municipalities (Cities of Delavan & Elkhorn, Village of Williams Bay, Towns of Darien, Geneva, and Walworth) to ask if there was any interest in discussing any possible mutual benefits to Fire & Rescue Shared Services.  Several have responded and we will be having an initial meeting this next Monday, 4/15, at 3:00pm at the Fire Station.  
    7. A proposed Rescue Mutual Aid agreement with the City of Delavan was recommended by the Fire & Rescue Committee.  Mutual Aid calls for EMS will be charged at $600 if an agreement is reached.  Tuesday’s Board Meeting agenda.
    8. Thanks again to Micah Hartlaub for his service on the Town Board with his term expiring following the Annual Meeting.  Welcome to Hugh Charvat who was just elected to fill that Town Board position.  Bill Thummel was also re-elected to another 2-year term.  Thanks to all for their willingness to serve.   
    9. All Assessed Values for the Town are available online at accurateassessor.com. 
    10. The Highway Shop is a “free drop-off site” for Waste Oil that is used for heating purposes.  We are currently in low supply.
