Res. William Ottow asked Supv. Schroeder if he knew about warranties on streets and roads. Supv. Schroeder stated he would definitely find out however, due to the WI Attorney General’s opinion that no discussion may take place on non-agenda items, Supv. Schroeder was prevented from continuing. Mr. Ottow requested this item be placed on the next agenda under “Discussion Items” and further stated he thought other projects were more important than what was on tonight’s agenda.
Res. Dale McNamee informed the Clerk that the Town Board Minutes of July 26, 2004 could not be read on the town’s website. Clerk Krueger stated she would have this taken care of promptly.
