Skip Radosevich,, Town Supervisor;  Skip had nothing more to report on the bathrooms as other than some staining and replacing light fixtures and putting up mirrors they are completed.

James Kmetz:  Town Supervisor; Jim reported on the progress of the work being done on the equipment. The garage crew are in the process of changing over the equipment from winter to spring use.  There are a couple minor issues that will need to be addressed such and a crack in a window and a light that will

need to be replaced. Everything is in good shape.

Donna Anderson Office.  Voting turn out for the April 4th election went very well. There were 175 voters for the election. We received an email from our Town website thanking the snowplow crew for the great work they are doing.  Dot will be working on the Fish Creek bridge on US2 again this year. The bookkeeping system that the Town is using will discontinue its support of the 2020 version which we

are currently using. This will force us to go to an online version.  Discussion will be held with the new elected clerk as to which way she would like to proceed with this change.

Old Business:   None

New Business:     None

Public Input:  Mason and Jodi Neimi had sent an email to the Town with concerns with the Raspotnik road not being plowed after the last two back to back snow storms.   They were concerned about the thousands of dollars they had lost in their syrup making business that is in the Town of Eileen, because they could not access their property.   Chairman Marty Milanowski had explained that there were several attempts to go and open up the road.

There was a danger to the equipment of being stuck and also tearing up the road so that it would become impassable during the spring thaw.  The Neimis would like to see more improvements made to the road as they plan to build there some day.

Mark Schneeberger asked if Jenny was staying on as our assessor?    Marty said yes.  Mark had concerns

as to what the situation is on reservation land that has been taken out of our tax base. This issue is in the hands of the courts.
