The Town Clerk prepared a proposed budget for 2010 with anticipated Revenues and Expenses totaling approximately $244,483.  The Property Tax Levy is $114,878.00 which is within the 3% levy increase allowed by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.  The proposed budget may be changed before it is adopted at the Special Town meeting in November 2009 held after the Budget Hearing.  Musiedlak stated that he would like to see monies allocated in the 2010 budget to allow for the possibility of changing EMS providers.  The contract for EMS services with Divine Savior and the City of Portage expires on February 23, 2010.

 

There was one other item on the agenda for the evening as follows:

Two quotes were opened for Town Hall parking lot improvements, the first being from Davis Construction, Portage for a total of $5,950.00 and second being from Gasser Construction, Baraboo in the amount of $7,105.  After discussing the quotes it was decided to postpone a decision until further information can be obtained pertaining to the monies in the Certificate of Deposit allocated at an Annual Town Meeting  for Town Hall improvements.

 

 

Motion to adjourn at 7:15 p.m. by Musiedlak/Seiler.  M/C.
