Town of St. LawrenceMeeting ProceedingsMonday, July 3, 2023St. Lawrence Town Hall Annex Chairman Ferg called the regular monthly meeting to Order at 6:00 pm with the Open Meeting Statement. Those present were: Ferg, Oppor, Cady, Wilke and Beyer. There was 2 residents and two visitors present. Cady/Wilke to approve the Agenda as presented. Carried 3-0. Wilke/Cady to approve the Minutes of the June 5, 2023 meeting as written. Carried 3-0. There were no comments from the floor. Visitors: Cindy Prinsen was present to answer any questions regarding the Park Cemetery and its annual statement. After discussion and questions, the board thanked Cindy for attending. Roads: Playground equipment- Ferg questioned the status on the playground equipment install. The park blacktop and pickle ball court are scheduled for mid-August. The Poverty Hill Rd project was awarded to MCC,(from last months meeting) as they came in with the lowest price quote; that project will be done in mid-August as well. Budget and road monies available were discussed. Zoning Permits: one received for an accessory structure for a pole shed and patio. The sand mine issue was discussed. The Public Hearing at Waupaca County will be on July 12th. Since no board members will be able to attend, a letter was drafted to be read into the comments at the Public Hearing. There are Town of St Lawrence residents directly affected by the proposed operations of a non-metallic mine at the site. The Board felt the people of the Town of Scandinavia, via their Planning Commission and that town board’s denial of the CUP, should be the answer of the counties Planning and Zoning Committee as well. A letter to that effect will be sent. Chairman’s Correspondence: issue of the lot line on the parcel holding the Town’s shed was discussed. Clerk to have Surveyor do a locate of the property lines to determine an encroachment is indeed occurring. The forward motion of this issue will depend upon the results of the property line ID. The renewal of the Town’s insurance policies brought discussion regarding the use and retention of the grader. The Chairman stated he’d like to see it sold while it still holds worth, instead of letting it sit outside to weather check and go downhill in worth. The fact that there is nobody employed by the Town that is trained to run it was his reason for this discussion. The Treasurer’s Report was reviewed. Total funds in checking and savings account as of June 30, 2023 was $ 395,386.31. The Clerk and Treasurer did reconcile the accounts. Wilke/Cady to approve. Carried 3-0.

The Clerk reported being in process of a new website for the Town. When it is up and online, she will be letting the board members know of the new web address, as well as getting that info out to the residents in the most economical way. Follow up on last month’s request from Helene Pohl, regarding the Colrue Rd mine. Beyer spoke to the County Zoning department and received the paperwork. The same was emailed to Helene Pohl. It did confirm that washing in the pit had been added to the CUP in 2012, with that Board giving the OK for that addition. The 2012 review of the CUP stated any further reviews will only be warranted if there are complaints from the Town Board or residents, regarding operations in that sand pit. Ricky Dain was present to request a job working on the town road/and parks. Supervisor Cady informed the Board that he will be stepping back from the hourly work for the Town and retaining his position as Elected Supervisor.

Wilke to adjourn. Meeting was adjourned at 7:20 pm. These Minutes are subject to Board approval.Respectfully Submitted,Jackie Beyer, Town Clerk
