New Business:

Representatives from Lake Mason Lake District and General Engineering of Portage, WI gave an informational presentation pertaining to a possible sanitary district that may be established encompassing areas around Lake Mason and Briggsville lying in the Town of Douglas, Marquette County and the Town of New Haven, Adams County.  The next step will be a collective letter to potential district residents.  The township could stand some financial responsibility if the sanitary district can’t financially support itself. The town could be involved in the initial steps of funding and bonding.

A motion was made by Watson/Julson to adopt a resolution authorizing the town board Chairperson to submit a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Municipal Flood Control Grant application to obtain funding for the Big Spring Creek Restoration Project.  Chairperson Julson reported that he had met with Divine Savior, Columbia County, Adams County & City of Wisconsin Dells emergency coordinators on Tuesday, January 15, 2008.  He felt this was a productive meeting and that all districts involved are now on the same page with future 911 calls.  The bills were read by the town clerk and approved for payment by a motion from Watson/Julson.  M/C.  Motion to adjourn at 8:25 p.m. until February 21,08 by Watson/Julson M/C
