Possible Town Purchase of Alexander Trust Parcel
Posted on Nov 01, 2021 4:49 pm
The town has submitted an offer to purchase the vacant land known as the Alexander Parcel (Parcel Number 020-485-01). Based on a recent appraisal that the town had done in order to acquire the land needed to build a retention pond for the Carl Eliason Street Road Project, the town offered the appraised price of $206,677 for this parcel that is just under 40 acres.
The offer to buy must be approved by the Walter Alexander Foundation by November 8, 2021. They have the option to decline or accept the offer. This offer to purchase is made with the contingency that town electors must approve the purchase of this land. If the electors vote not to buy the land, the offer is off the table.
This item will be on the agenda for the Budget Hearing Meeting that will be held on Tuesday, November 23, beginning at 6 pm. We encourage you to attend this meeting and let the Town Board know whether or not you feel it is something the town should do. Discussion will be encouraged prior to the vote.

Posted on Dec 30, 2020 2:27 pm
I have been getting lots of questions about getting tax bills submitted before the end of 2020. Any tax payments POSTMARKED by the end of December will be processed with a December Date!!
At the Town Board meeting last night, December 29th, there was no motion made either for or against building the Rec. Building. This had the same effect as the Board making a motion to NOT go ahead with the Rec Building. There will be no further action on moving ahead with a new Rec. Building at this time.

Town Hall Locked Indefinitely
Posted on Nov 10, 2020 2:56 pm
I just found out today that I tested positive for Covid. I currently am experiencing only mild symptoms but have made the decision to stay home the rest of this week. I was instructed to quarantine at home until at least Monday. The meeting that was going to be held this Thursday to open the bids for the salt/sand shed has been postponed indefinitely. I still need to finish up the details on the budget worksheets before I make copies available, so those will be delayed.
The Town Hall will remain locked indefinitely also. There will be a note posted on the door.
Please say a prayer for me that this is a mild case and I do okay. I'd sure appreciate that! Thank you!
