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 Community Park Site Plan will be updated for your 6/3 Park Committee review and discussion.  It would be a good idea for all Board Members to also attend, if available.  Pay Station proposal recommendation will also be discussed with a possible recommendation to the June Board Meeting. 
      2. Road Improvement project bid notices have been published with Bid Openings scheduled for 5/29.  The 6/4 Public Works Committee will be considering the bid results with a recommendation to the 6/10 Board Meeting.  The Woodlawn Dr. project is primary and depending on bid results, it is yet unknown how much of the secondary project of Inlet Shore, Delavan Dr. and Breezy St. in the Inlet Oaks Subdivision can be completed.
      3. You have recently appointed Steve Koch and his firm Seymour, Kremer, Koch as new Town Attorney effective 6/1.  Many thanks to Rich Scholze for his excellent legal service to the Town since 2009 through his retirement effective at the end of May.
      4. The DNR recently approved an allowable increase of $5 to the base fee for launching boats at Community Park.  And you recently voted to approve the new maximum rates allowed by the DNR.
      5. There was some discussion at the April & May Admin Committees about Town employees, especially non-resident, serving on various committees with voting authority.  Plan on more future discussion. 
      6. DOT is asking for feedback on a possible roundabout at Town Hall & STH 67 due to accident frequency and safety.  You received details via email with the DOT engineer contact.   
      7. All Board Members are invited to drive and/or ride in the Delavan Memorial Day Parade.  You will need to meet at the Delavan American Legion, 111 S. 2nd St. at 8:30am on Memorial Day with your own vehicle to drive or ride together.   
      8. A Short-Term Rental Complaint Hotline is now available 24/7 at 866-257-0149 or online at https://www.harmari.com/tipform-delavan
      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.
      11. Enjoy your Memorial weekend!  We are thankful for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  Out of the office tomorrow.
