Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the Board.
No person will be allowed to appear before the Board of Review, to testify to the Board by telephone, or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the assessor to view the property.
After the first meeting of the Board of Review and before the Board’s final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the Board of Review may contact or provide information to a member of the Board about the person’s objection, except at a session of the Board.
The Board of Review may not hear an objection to the amount or valuation of property unless, at least 48 hours before the Board’s first scheduled meeting, the objector provides to the Board’s Clerk written or oral notice of an intent to file an objection, except that upon a showing of good cause and the submission of a written objection, the Board shall waive the requirement during the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, and the Board may waive the requirement up to the end of the fifth day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days with proof of extraordinary circumstances for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and failure to appear before the Board of Review during the first two hours of the first scheduled meeting.
Objections to the amount or valuation of property shall first be made in writing and filed with the Clerk of the Board of Review within the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, except that, upon evidence of extraordinary circumstances, the Board may waive that requirement up to the end of the fifith day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days. The Board may require objections to the amount or valuation of property to be submitted on forms approved by the Department of Revenue, and the Board shall require that any forms include stated valuations of the property in question. Persons who own land and improvements to that land may object to the aggregate valuation of that land and improvements to that land, but no person who owns land and improvements to that land may object only to the valuation of that land or only to the valuation of improvements to that land. No person may be allowed in any action or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property unless the written objection has been filed and that person in good faith presented evidence to the Board in support of the objections and made full disclosure before the Board, under oath, of all of that person’s property liable to assessment in the district and the value of that property. The requirement that objections be in writing may be waived by express action of the Board.
When appearing before the Board of Review, the objecting person shall specify in writing the peron’s estimate of the value of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person’s objection and specify the information that the person used to arrive at that estimate.
No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or object to a valuation if that valuation was made by the assessor or the objector using the income method of valuation, unless the person supplies the assessor with all the information about income and expenses, as specified in the assessor’s manual under s.73.03(2a), Wis. Stats., that the assessor requests. The Town of Emmet has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the assessor under this paragraph that provides exceptions for persons using information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or the duties of their officer or by order of a court. The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under s.19.35(1), Wis. Stats.
The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, surgeon, or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability. No other persons may testify by telephone unless the Board, in its discretion, has determined to grant a property owner’s or their representative’s request to testify under oath by telephone or written statement.
No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or contest the amount of an assessment unless, at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board, or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed under s.70.47(3)(a), Wis. Stats., that person provides to the Clerk of the Board of Review notice as to whether the person will ask for the removal of a member of the Board of Review and, if so, which member, and provides a reasonable estimate of the length of time the hearing will take.

Public Hearing on Proposed 2024 Budget
The public hearing on the proposed 2024
budget and levy was called to order by Chairman Meldon Maguire at 7:01 pm. All Town Board members were
present. Town residents present
were Donald & Shirley Dahlke; Diane & Duane Knetter; Doug & Sue Diethert; Rob, Kelly, & Ethan Clint; Frank Feehrer; and
Wayne King. The Clerk went through
the budget line by line and noted the major changes from 2023. The shared revenue has increased and the
additional debt payment is proposed for the levy which would bring the levy to
$200,878.00. Several of the Town
residents present were very vocal in their opposition to the levy
increase. After much discussion, a
motion by Lisa Baur, second by Wayne King to adjourn the public hearing. Motion carried.
Special Town Elector Meeting
Chairman Maguire called the Special
Town Elector Meeting to order. In
view of the opposition of Town residents present to the proposed levy increase,
the following options were presented.
The Clerk informed the audience that if another budget hearing and Town
elector meeting would be necessary, a 15 to 20-day posting would be needed and
that would delay the tax bill printing until late in December. If that occurred, tax bills would most
likely not arrive in time for taxpayers to pay their 2023 taxes by December 31,
2023, as many Town residents do.
After discussion, it was decided to remove the additional $54,391.00
from the proposed levy. If this
proposal passes, the levy will remain nearly the same as in 2023. Motion by Sue Diethert,
second by Donald Dahlke to amend the proposed budget to authorize the removal
of the additional $54,391.00 from the levy. The motion passed, but it was not
unanimous. The Clerk informed the
audience that because of this action, the payment in March 2024 for the loan at
the BCPL will require taking the $54,391.00 out of the operating budget. A motion by Rob Clint, second by Shirley
Dahlke to adjourn the Special Town Elector meeting. Motion carried.
Regular Monthly Town Board Meeting
Chairman Maguire called the Regular
Monthly Town Board Meeting to order.
All Town Board Members were present. Also present were the Town of Emmet
residents listed above and Town of Bergen Chairman Ed Rucinski.
Motion by Lisa Baur, second by Tyler
Dahlke to approve the printed minutes of the October 10, 2023
meeting. Motion carried.
Treasurer Mike Maguire presented the
financial report for November 2023.
There were no major expenditures.
The Town of Emmet was reimbursed from Marathon County for the Eau Pleine Park Road project ($154,222.72). Motion by Baur, second by Dahlke to
approve the treasurer’s report.
Motion carried.
Motion by Dahlke, second by Baur to
approve payment of bills with check numbers 18485 through 18502, wages, and
payments made electronically.
Motion carried.
Clerk’s Report:
·
One
building permit was issued Allan Myszka – shed.
·
Marathon
County is proposing changes to the general code of ordinances, chapter 15-
private sewage systems, chapter 21 – non-metallic mining code, and
chapter 22 – shoreland, wetland, flood plain code. As part of the process, Marathon
County CPC requests input from Town officials and residents regarding suggested
changes.
Motion by Dahlke, second by Baur to
approve the amended levy and budget as adopted at the Town Elector
meeting. Motion carried.
Motion by Dahlke, second by Baur to
approve renewing the agreement with the Town of Green Valley for gravel/salt
purchase from the Town of Emmet.
Motion carried.
Chairman/Supervisor Reports:
·
The
Chairman will contact for brush cutting along Town roads for overhanging
branches and other larger brush the Town brush cutter cannot reach.
·
The
wiring in the Town Hall needs to be upgraded. Hauke Electric will be contacted.

Also present were Bryan Michlig, Aaron Nieman, Frank Feehrer, Rob Clint, and Doug and Sue Dietert.
Motion by Tyler Dahlke, second by Lisa Baur to approve the printed minutes of the July 10, 2023 meeting. Motion carried.
Clerk Gerald W. Fitzgerald presented the financial report for August 2023. Monthly receipts included the first payment of shared revenue and 2% fire dues. The 2% fire dues will be distributed among the three fire departments serving the township. The largest payment was to Worden Enterprises for the graveling for Briar and Moss Roads. Motion by Dahlke, second by Baur to approve treasurer’s report. Motion carried.
Motion by Dahlke, second by Baur to approve payment of bills with check numbers 18422 through 18432, wages, and payments made electronically. Motion carried. Bills for electronic payments will be forwarded to Treasurer Maguire for payment.
Clerk’s Report:
· Three building permits were issued: Kerry Olson – window replacement in the house and addition of a small storage shed, JRK Properties – house remodeling, and Cory Christian – new shed.

Motion by Dahlke, second by Baur to designate the use of the loan funds to pay for the Eau Pleine Park Road blacktopping project. Motion carried.
Chairman Maguire informed the Board that after a lengthy delay, a load of dust control was available. In communication with Board members, it was decided not to spread any dust control this year.
The deadline for applying for a 50/50 cost share for large culverts is October 1. A decision will be made at the September meeting to apply if there are failing culverts that need to be replaced.
Chairman/Supervisor Reports:
· Supervisor Dahlke reported that he has been in contact with a company that would do ground testing at the Town of Emmet property (formerly the Town landfill). The company is studying the possibility of obtaining grants for this cost.
· Aaron Nieman requested that the Town consider cleaning the ditch adjacent to his property. There have been problems with water draining away from his sump pump. The Town will try to schedule this for this fall, depending upon if a contractor will be available.
· Doug & Sue Dietert inquired about the progress of changing the public access road adjacent to their property. Supervisor Dahlke informed them that he has been in contact with the landowner. The hold up at the present time is the DNR determination of whether the property in question is buildable or not.
Public Comments:
· A Town resident had questions regarding the impact of the loan on the tax levy. It was explained that the yearly payment for the loan will be on the tax levy. At this time, it is difficult to determine what the tax rate will be because the County, school districts, and NTC levies are not set.
Motion by Baur, second by Dahlke to set the time and tentative date for the next meeting on September 12, 2023 at 7:00 pm in the Halder Community Hall. Motion carried.

Also present were Will Litzer, Rob Clint, Sue Dietert, Frank Feehrer, Jamie Cheyka-Maguire, Jacon Maguire, and Shandra Skalecke.
Motion by Lisa Baur, second by Tyler Dahlke to approve the printed minutes of the April 2023 meeting. Motion carried.
Treasurer Mike Maguire presented the financial report for May 2023. Motion by Dahlke, second by Baur to approve treasurer’s report. Motion carried.
Motion by Baur, second by Dahlke to approve payment of bills with check numbers 18362 through 18382, wages, and payments made electronically. Motion carried.
Because the WPS bill was not in at the time of the meeting, motion by Baur, second by Tyler to authorize Treasurer Maguire to pay the bill upon arrival. Motion carried.
Clerk’s Report:
· Two building permits were issued since the last meeting. Mel & Sonia Cook – window replacement in residence; and Tyler Pankratz – new house and attached garage.

Chairman/Supervisor Reports:
· The Town purchased several loads of ground up blacktop from American Asphalt and applied it to Skyview Road from State Road 153 to the gravel pit entrance. This material was readily available because American Asphalt was repaving State Road 153.
· The Board had a lengthy discussion on the sale of Town-owned property. As this 40-acre site was where the former Town dump was located, ground testing will be required before any sale of this property. The REI company was mentioned for possibly doing the testing. Board members will make contacts to get the best price for this testing. There will be an update the next Board meeting.
· An ordinance for wind turbines was discussed. Chairman Maguire mentioned that any new ordinances would need to override the exemption in our present ordinance for all power-related enplacements. Opinions from Town Association attorneys are that most local ordinances that supersede the regulation authority of the public service commission would not be enforceable. Board members will contact attorneys, no formal Board action taken at this meeting.
· Gravel and culvert replacements will be formalized at the next meeting.
· A lengthy discussion concerning issuance of liquor licenses. The Town Board cannot deny a liquor license even if the holder does not open for business. The Town Board will renew liquor licenses at the June meeting.
Public Comments:
· A few Town residents at the meeting were concerned about the wind turbines. It was explained that local ordinances that supersede the PSC authority are not going to be enforceable.

Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the Board.
No person will be allowed to appear before the Board of Review, to testify to the Board by telephone, or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the assessor to view the property.
After the first meeting of the Board of Review and before the Board’s final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the Board of Review may contact or provide information to a member of the Board about the person’s objection, except at a session of the Board.
The Board of Review may not hear an objection to the amount or valuation of property unless, at least 48 hours before the Board’s first scheduled meeting, the objector provides to the Board’s Clerk written or oral notice of an intent to file an objection, except that upon a showing of good cause and the submission of a written objection, the Board shall waive the requirement during the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, and the Board may waive the requirement up to the end of the fifth day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days with proof of extraordinary circumstances for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and failure to appear before the Board of Review during the first two hours of the first scheduled meeting.
Objections to the amount or valuation of property shall first be made in writing and filed with the Clerk of the Board of Review within the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, except that, upon evidence of extraordinary circumstances, the Board may waive that requirement up to the end of the fifith day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days. The Board may require objections to the amount or valuation of property to be submitted on forms approved by the Department of Revenue, and the Board shall require that any forms include stated valuations of the property in question. Persons who own land and improvements to that land may object to the aggregate valuation of that land and improvements to that land, but no person who owns land and improvements to that land may object only to the valuation of that land or only to the valuation of improvements to that land. No person may be allowed in any action or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property unless the written objection has been filed and that person in good faith presented evidence to the Board in support of the objections and made full disclosure before the Board, under oath, of all of that person’s property liable to assessment in the district and the value of that property. The requirement that objections be in writing may be waived by express action of the Board.
When appearing before the Board of Review, the objecting person shall specify in writing the peron’s estimate of the value of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person’s objection and specify the information that the person used to arrive at that estimate.
No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or object to a valuation if that valuation was made by the assessor or the objector using the income method of valuation, unless the person supplies the assessor with all the information about income and expenses, as specified in the assessor’s manual under s.73.03(2a), Wis. Stats., that the assessor requests. The Town of Emmet has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the assessor under this paragraph that provides exceptions for persons using information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or the duties of their officer or by order of a court. The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under s.19.35(1), Wis. Stats.
The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, surgeon, or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability. No other persons may testify by telephone unless the Board, in its discretion, has determined to grant a property owner’s or their representative’s request to testify under oath by telephone or written statement.
No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or contest the amount of an assessment unless, at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board, or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed under s.70.47(3)(a), Wis. Stats., that person provides to the Clerk of the Board of Review notice as to whether the person will ask for the removal of a member of the Board of Review and, if so, which member, and provides a reasonable estimate of the length of time the hearing will take.

Board has been considering. Mr.
Langenhahn answered several questions from the Board and audience.
Jim & Kevin Maguire, were present at the meeting in regard
to procedures that took place in 1993 regarding
possible road widening and culvert replacements. The Clerk read extensive minutes from
those proceedings, and the result was that there was no written agreement with
the Maguire Family regarding sale of right-of-way. Consequently, the road remained a
three-rod road and new culverts were installed at that time. It was agreed that because this was many
years ago and statutes of limitations have long expired on any possible
transactions, the matter is closed.
The cattle pass located on Big Eau Pleine Park
Road will be replaced with a smaller culvert and the old culvert is the
property of the Maguire family.

large culvert located on Moon Road will also be replaced this year (2022). An order will be placed with the
Town’s vendor.
Adam Grahn, Fire Chief of the Mosinee
Fire District, and Jared were on hand to explain the proposal on EMS license
downgrade. This is necessary
because of the difficulty of staffing advanced level EMS providers. This is not a permanent downgrade. As soon as staffing levels permit, the
Mosinee Fire District will be upgrading back to an AEMT level surface.

TOWN OF
EMMET
May 11, 2020
Regular Town Board Meeting
The regular monthly Town Board Meeting
of the Town of Emmet was called to order on the above date by Chairman Meldon
Maguire at 7:14 pm. The meeting was
held in the Halder Community Hall, 135125 Halder Drive, Mosinee. The meeting was held on Monday due to
the May 12, 2020 election.
Present were all Town Board
members. Also present were Ben
Nechuta and Will Litzer.
Motion by Mike Baumann, second by
Tyler Dahlke to approve the printed minutes of the April 14, 2020 Town Board
meeting. Motion carried.
Treasurer Mike Maguire presented the
financial report for May 2020.
Motion by Dahlke, second by Baumann to approve Treasurer’s
report. Motion carried.
Motion by Baumann, second by Dahlke to
approve payment of bills with check numbers 17523 through 17542, wages, and
bills paid online. Motion carried.
The Clerk reported the necessary
safety measures for the May 12, 2020 election will be in place. The Bureau of Land Commissioners has
approved the application for the loan of $150,000. Treasurer Maguire will deposit the check
upon receipt.
Chairman Maguire reported on a
communication from Dr. Michael McManus regarding his plan for clearing brush
and tall grass on his newly purchased property in the Bayside Subdivision. This area also includes a public access
road that was made part of the surveying plot when this subdivision was
created. Marathon County Shoreland
Regulations will have to be followed for any work near the shoreline. McManus had concerns about the
neighboring property where a large shed is located. The Board discussed a project by the
Halder Community Club regarding blacktopping the area adjacent to the
concession stand. At this meeting
date, the new Town truck is on order and delivery expected within 30 days.
Chairman Maguire reported that METCO
will be digging several test holes in the vicinity of the ball park within the
next week. The Town will furnish a
temporary driveway for access for their drilling equipment. Ben reported there are some culverts
that need attention. Because of
budgetary concerns, most major culvert projects will be postponed until next
year unless there is immediate necessity to replace. Some ATV signs will be placed on the
same posts as the Town of Emmet zoning signs. Before the remainder of the ATV signs
can be placed, diggers hotline will need to be contacted.
Motion by Baumann, second by Dahlke to
approve beer permits and operators’ licenses for the Halder Community
Club for the summer events at the ballpark. Motion carried.
Motion by Dahlke, second by Baumann to
amend the budget to designate the ATC payment for highway expenses. Motion carried.
After Board discussion, no date was
set for the Annual Meeting. A final
decision will need to be made at the June meeting depending upon guidelines set
forth by the Towns Association.
The next regular Town Board meeting is
scheduled for Tuesday, June 9, 2020 @ 7:00 P.M. at the Halder Community Hall.
Motion by Baumann, second by Dahlke to
adjourn. Motion carried. Time: 8:43 P.M.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Review for the Town of Emmet of Marathon County, Wisconsin, will meet on April 22, 2019 from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. at the Halder Community Hall, 135125 Halder Drive, Mosinee, WI. Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the Board.
No person will be allowed to appear before the Board of Review, to testify to the Board by telephone, or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the assessor to view the property.
After the first meeting of the Board of Review and before the Board’s final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the Board of Review may contact or provide information to a member of the Board about the person’s objection, except at a session of the Board.
The Board of Review may not hear an objection to the amount or valuation of property unless, at least 48 hours before the Board’s first scheduled meeting, the objector provides to the Board’s Clerk written or oral notice of an intent to file an objection, except that upon a showing of good cause and the submission of a written objection, the Board shall waive the requirement during the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, and the Board may waive the requirement up to the end of the fifth day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days with proof of extraordinary circumstances for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and failure to appear before the Board of Review during the first two hours of the first scheduled meeting.
Objections to the amount or valuation of property shall first be made in writing and filed with the Clerk of the Board of Review within the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, except that, upon evidence of extraordinary circumstances, the Board may waive that requirement up to the end of the fifith day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days. The Board may require objections to the amount or valuation of property to be submitted on forms approved by the Department of Revenue, and the Board shall require that any forms include stated valuations of the property in question. Persons who own land and improvements to that land may object to the aggregate valuation of that land and improvements to that land, but no person who owns land and improvements to that land may object only to the valuation of that land or only to the valuation of improvements to that land. No person may be allowed in any action or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property unless the written objection has been filed and that person in good faith presented evidence to the Board in support of the objections and made full disclosure before the Board, under oath, of all of that person’s property liable to assessment in the district and the value of that property. The requirement that objections be in writing may be waived by express action of the Board.
When appearing before the Board of Review, the objecting person shall specify in writing the peron’s estimate of the value of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person’s objection and specify the information that the person used to arrive at that estimate.
No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or object to a valuation if that valuation was made by the assessor or the objector using the income method of valuation, unless the person supplies the assessor with all the information about income and expenses, as specified in the assessor’s manual under s.73.03(2a), Wis. Stats., that the assessor requests. The Town of Emmet has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the assessor under this paragraph that provides exceptions for persons using information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or the duties of their officer or by order of a court. The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under s.19.35(1), Wis. Stats.
The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, surgeon, or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability. No other persons may testify by telephone unless the Board, in its discretion, has determined to grant a property owner’s or their representative’s request to testify under oath by telephone or written statement.
No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or contest the amount of an assessment unless, at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board, or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed under s.70.47(3)(a), Wis. Stats., that person provides to the Clerk of the Board of Review notice as to whether the person will ask for the removal of a member of the Board of Review and, if so, which member, and provides a reasonable estimate of the length of time the hearing will take.

Regular Town Board Meeting
The regular
monthly Town Board Meeting of the Town of Emmet was called to order on the
above date by Chairman Don Dahlke @ 7:00 P.M. The meeting was held in the Halder
Community Hall.
All
Town Board members were present.
Also present were Karl Kurtzweil, Will Litzer,
Rick Weiler, Mayor Brent Jacobson, and Steve Haas.
Motion
by Meldon Maguire, second by Wayne King to approve the minutes of the August
15, 2018 regular Town Board meeting.
Motion carried. Shirley
Dahlke presented the Treasurer’s report for September. Motion by King, second by Maguire to
approve. Motion carried.
There
were two building permits issued:
Titan Properties – shed and Michael Hafner II. – new
house. There has been no indication
from the Marathon County CPZ when the new address signs will be installed at
the residences.
Highway
issues - There are a few roads in the Town where the ditches need to be cleaned
and a few driveway culverts need replacing because they are either plugged up
or are too small. Karl will
coordinate with Dennis Spindler on these projects. Brush cutting along the Eau Pleine Park Road still needs to be done. This project is still in the works for
this fall.
Motion
by King, second by Maguire to approve the registration fee for the Wisconsin
Towns Association Convention which will be held October 14 through October
16. Motion carried. The Clerk will send the registration and
fee.
Motion
by Maguire, second by King to approve a beer permit and operators’
licenses for the Halder Sportsman’s Club. Motion carried.
Steve
Haas and Mayor Brent Jacobson from the City of Mosinee were at the meeting to
discuss the continued coverage for the Town of Emmet for ambulance
service. This contract expires
December 2019. Many other issues
were discussed concerning fire protection, first responders, and costs of these
services. Haas and Jacobson
expressed an interest in providing fire protection for the Town of Emmet that
is now serviced by the Village of Marathon. For the remainder of 2018 and the
calendar year 2019, the Town of Emmet is contracted with the Village of
Marathon for fire protection. The
Town of Emmet will renew its contract with the Mosinee Fire Department for
ambulance service for that portion of the Town located east of Highway S.
Rick
Weiler, owner of the property at 5297 County P, presented to the Board his
proposals for renovating the structure at that address and possibly using it
for a residence. The Board
explained that it is a nonconforming building and is in violation of the vision
triangle on County Highways. The
Board explained to Mr. Weiler the Town of Emmet Zoning regarding this matter
and state statutes that do apply.
Mr. Weiler suggested a few alternatives including moving the building
off its present foundation. There
were no issues settled at this meeting and Mr. Weiler was advised to contact
legal counsel.
The
preliminary budget for the Town of Emmet for 2019 was discussed. Major projects include reconstruction or
resurfacing of Halder Drive, which does qualify for a TRIP grant, the volume of
dust control to be applied, and number of road miles to be graveled. The Clerk will have a preliminary budget
for the October meeting.
Motion
by Maguire, second by King to approve payment of bills and wages for
September. Motion carried.
The
next regular Town Board Meeting will be on October 9, 2018 at 7:00 P.M. at the
Halder Community Hall.
Motion
by King, second by Maguire to adjourn.
Motion carried. Time: 9:04 P.M.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Review for the Town of Emmet of Marathon County, Wisconsin, will meet on April 23, 2018 from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. at the Halder Community Hall, 3365 Halder Drive, Mosinee, WI. Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the Board.
No person will be allowed to appear before the Board of Review, to testify to the Board by telephone, or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the assessor to view the property.
After the first meeting of the Board of Review and before the Board’s final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the Board of Review may contact or provide information to a member of the Board about the person’s objection, except at a session of the Board.
The Board of Review may not hear an objection to the amount or valuation of property unless, at least 48 hours before the Board’s first scheduled meeting, the objector provides to the Board’s Clerk written or oral notice of an intent to file an objection, except that upon a showing of good cause and the submission of a written objection, the Board shall waive the requirement during the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, and the Board may waive the requirement up to the end of the fifth day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days with proof of extraordinary circumstances for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and failure to appear before the Board of Review during the first two hours of the first scheduled meeting.
Objections to the amount or valuation of property shall first be made in writing and filed with the Clerk of the Board of Review within the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, except that, upon evidence of extraordinary circumstances, the Board may waive that requirement up to the end of the fifith day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days. The Board may require objections to the amount or valuation of property to be submitted on forms approved by the Department of Revenue, and the Board shall require that any forms include stated valuations of the property in question. Persons who own land and improvements to that land may object to the aggregate valuation of that land and improvements to that land, but no person who owns land and improvements to that land may object only to the valuation of that land or only to the valuation of improvements to that land. No person may be allowed in any action or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property unless the written objection has been filed and that person in good faith presented evidence to the Board in support of the objections and made full disclosure before the Board, under oath, of all of that person’s property liable to assessment in the district and the value of that property. The requirement that objections be in writing may be waived by express action of the Board.
When appearing before the Board of Review, the objecting person shall specify in writing the peron’s estimate of the value of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person’s objection and specify the information that the person used to arrive at that estimate.
No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or object to a valuation if that valuation was made by the assessor or the objector using the income method of valuation, unless the person supplies the assessor with all the information about income and expenses, as specified in the assessor’s manual under s.73.03(2a), Wis. Stats., that the assessor requests. The Town of Emmet has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the assessor under this paragraph that provides exceptions for persons using information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or the duties of their officer or by order of a court. The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under s.19.35(1), Wis. Stats.
The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, surgeon, or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability. No other persons may testify by telephone unless the Board, in its discretion, has determined to grant a property owner’s or their representative’s request to testify under oath by telephone or written statement.
No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or contest the amount of an assessment unless, at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board, or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed under s.70.47(3)(a), Wis. Stats., that person provides to the Clerk of the Board of Review notice as to whether the person will ask for the removal of a member of the Board of Review and, if so, which member, and provides a reasonable estimate of the length of time the hearing will take.

Town of Emmet, Marathon County
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Review for the Town of Emmet of Marathon County, Wisconsin, will meet on May 8, 2017 from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. at the Halder Community Hall, 3365 Halder Drive, Mosinee, WI. The 2017 assessment roll will be open for open book public inspection from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M., at the same location. Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the Board.
No person will be allowed to appear before the Board of Review, to testify to the Board by telephone, or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the assessor to view the property.
After the first meeting of the Board of Review and before the Board’s final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the Board of Review may contact or provide information to a member of the Board about the person’s objection, except at a session of the Board.
The Board of Review may not hear an objection to the amount or valuation of property unless, at least 48 hours before the Board’s first scheduled meeting, the objector provides to the Board’s Clerk written or oral notice of an intent to file an objection, except that upon a showing of good cause and the submission of a written objection, the Board shall waive the requirement during the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, and the Board may waive the requirement up to the end of the fifth day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days with proof of extraordinary circumstances for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and failure to appear before the Board of Review during the first two hours of the first scheduled meeting.
Objections to the amount or valuation of property shall first be made in writing and filed with the Clerk of the Board of Review within the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, except that, upon evidence of extraordinary circumstances, the Board may waive that requirement up to the end of the fifith day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days. The Board may require objections to the amount or valuation of property to be submitted on forms approved by the Department of Revenue, and the Board shall require that any forms include stated valuations of the property in question. Persons who own land and improvements to that land may object to the aggregate valuation of that land and improvements to that land, but no person who owns land and improvements to that land may object only to the valuation of that land or only to the valuation of improvements to that land. No person may be allowed in any action or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property unless the written objection has been filed and that person in good faith presented evidence to the Board in support of the objections and made full disclosure before the Board, under oath, of all of that person’s property liable to assessment in the district and the value of that property. The requirement that objections be in writing may be waived by express action of the Board.
When appearing before the Board of Review, the objecting person shall specify in writing the peron’s estimate of the value of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person’s objection and specify the information that the person used to arrive at that estimate.
No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or object to a valuation if that valuation was made by the assessor or the objector using the income method of valuation, unless the person supplies the assessor with all the information about income and expenses, as specified in the assessor’s manual under s.73.03(2a), Wis. Stats., that the assessor requests. The Town of Emmet has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the assessor under this paragraph that provides exceptions for persons using information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or the duties of their officer or by order of a court. The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under s.19.35(1), Wis. Stats.
The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, surgeon, or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability.

The regular monthly Town Board Meeting
of the Town of Emmet was called to order on the above date by Chairman, Don
Dahlke. The Meeting was held in the
Town of Emmet Town Garage.
All Town Board members were
present. Also present were Karl
Kurtzweil, Will Litzer, Dan and Julie Knetter, Dale Marth, Ann Schultz, and
Cory Tomczyk.
Motion by Meldon Maguire, second by
Wayne King to approve the minutes of the February 14, 2017 regular board
meeting. Motion carried. Treasurer Shirley Dahlke presented the
financial report for March. Motion
by Maguire, second by King to accept the financial report. Motion carried.
There were no building permits issued in
February. Reports from the Clerk
included that there were 47 votes cast in the February primary. A bill from the Marathon Fire Department
for the 2017 fire contract has been paid after a new invoice was received. A questionnaire was received from the
County surveyor regarding road and graveling projects for 2017. That questionnaire will be filled out
and returned. The Clerk updated the
Board on Marathon County proposed addressed changes and developments concerning
the POWTS issue. Board of Review is
tentatively scheduled for Monday, May8, 2017.
A landowner concern about ditch drainage
at Spring Green Drive and County Highway S was discussed by the Board and the
Board agreed that drainage issues will have to be solved by the landowner.
The Board discussed the grass fire
caused by a transformer malfunction on Eau Pleine
Park Road. The Clerk has contacted
WPS. After the bill is received,
the landowner will be contacted as to possible coverage by his own insurance.
Recycling updates were given to the
Board and it is apparent that the two smaller dumpsters for the Saturday
recycling are not large enough to handle the volume. Dale Marth from Advanced Disposal
presented to the Board other options for handling the recycling volume. It was decided that a large 28-yard
dumpster will replace the two smaller dumpsters. Mr. Marth explained the additional costs
associated with this change. A
survey will be sent to all Town of Emmet residents for input on whether the
Town should establish Town-wide garbage and recycling pickup. A price quote for this will be available
at the April Town meetings.
Dan & Julie Knetter presented to the
Board their plans for a commercial building on their property at 4982 Highway
153. This includes a 52-by-146-foot
structure. A section will be
devoted to special events. A public
hearing for a zoning change will be scheduled in May. The Knetter’s also indicated they
wish to get a liquor license. At
this time there is one license in reserve, and the Knetter’s can apply
for that license.
A proposal was discussed from The Horton
Insurance Group for possible blanket coverage for all Town personnel. The Board decided not to sign up for
blanket coverage, and the Clerk and Treasurer will continue to be covered by
The Horton Group.
Motion by King, second by Maguire to
authorize the Clerk to publish for bids for gravel and dust control. These bids will be opened at the April
11, 2017 meeting.
Ann Schultz and Cory Tomczyk from the
Mosinee School District presented the plans for the upcoming referendum on
April 4, 2017. They explained each
of the questions that will be on the ballot. They answered numerous questions from
the Board members and Town residents present. Chairman Dahlke thanked them for
attending the meeting.
Supervisor King indicated that the Town
employees need safety vests and other necessary items when they are working on
road projects. All these will be
purchased in the near future.

approve payment of wages, bills as presented at the meeting. Motion carried.

February
14, 2017 – 7:30 P.M.
The regular monthly Town Board Meeting of
the Town of Emmet was called to order on the above date by Chairman, Don
Dahlke. The Meeting was held in the
Town of Emmet Town Garage.
All Town Board members were
present. Also present were Karl
Kurtzweil, Bryan Michlig, Will Litzer, Rich Wentzel,
Marcia Kohnert, and Joe and Amy Kaiser.
Motion by Meldon Maguire, second by
Wayne King to approve the minutes of the January 10, 2017 regular board
meeting. Motion carried. Treasurer Shirley Dahlke presented the
financial report for February and tax collection report. Total taxes collected were
$883,893.83. There is slightly over
$178,000 in taxes postponed that need to be collected by July 31, 2017. As of this meeting, the February levy
payments to the schools and the county were not received. The Clerk will pay those immediately upon
receiving them. Motion by King,
second by Maguire to approve the financial report. Motion carried.
There were no building permits issued in
January. The Clerk reported to the
Board that there will be a primary election on February 21, 2017.
Karl reported to the Board that new
batteries have been purchased for the Town grader. After Board discussion and updates on
the recycling volume, Advanced Disposal will be contacted to furnish an
additional dumpster for the recycling on the second and fourth Saturdays of
each month. Hopefully, more Town
residents will use the fourth Saturday to recycle to eliminate the overflowing
of the dumpsters that have occurred on the second Saturday.
Wayne presented to the Board quotes for
a reclaimer. After Board
discussion, a motion by King, second by Maguire to purchase a Tiger-Claw
reclaimer from Serwe Implement for $7,690.
Motion carried.
Joe and Amy Kaiser presented to the
Board their plans for building on property they recently purchased on Briarwood
Road. Their concern was that a
zoning change would be necessary.
After Board discussion, the present zoning classification for that
property will remain. Dan and Julie
Knetter were unable to be at this meeting.
The Clerk explained that they will be on the March agenda to outline
their plans for their building project.
The invoice received by the Clerk from
the Marathon Fire Department for fire coverage for 2017 included woodland
valuation as part of the total cost.
Because woodland is not part of the contract, a motion by Maguire,
second by King to not pay this invoice.
The Chairman will contact Marathon City officials and the Town will be
willing to pay the 2017 fire coverage when a revised invoice without the
woodland valuation is received.
The Clerk and Chairman received a packet
from the Marathon County CPZ regarding duplicate road names in the Town of
Emmet. The CPZ would like all the
rural townships to send them alternative road names for roads in the Town that
are duplicate with other roads in other towns in the county. After Board discussion, motion by King,
second by Maguire to authorize the Clerk to return this packet to the CPZ and
inform them by letter that the Town Board is not going to rename the
roads. As this is a CPZ mandate,
they should be responsible for renaming the roads. Motion carried.
The Town residents in attendance at this
meeting shared their opinions and concerns with the Board regarding the address
and road name changes. The Board
appreciates their input.
Motion by Maguire, second by King to
approve payment of wages, bills as presented at the meeting and also for the
Clerk to pay the school and county levies upon receipt. Motion carried.
Motion by Maguire, second by King to set
the date of the next regular Town Board Meeting on March 14, 2017 @ 7:30

Section 2.

2. The item or service covered by the bill or voucher has been duly authorized.
3. The item or service covered by the bill or voucher has been supplied or rendered in conformity with the authorization.

September
13, 2016 – 7:30 P.M.
The regular monthly Town Board Meeting
of the Town of Emmet was called to order on the above date by Chairman, Don
Dahlke. The Meeting was held in the
Halder Community Hall.
All Town Board members were
present. Also present were Karl
Kurtzweil, Doug Schoenfuss, Leon Woller, Will Litzer,
and Alvin and Rachel Kaiser.
Motion by Wayne King, second by Meldon
Maguire to approve the minutes of the August 10, 2016 regular Board
Meeting. Motion carried. Treasurer Shirley Dahlke presented the
financial report for September.
Motion by King, second by Maguire to approve the Treasurer’s
report. Motion carried.
The Clerk reported there were no building
permits issued since the last meeting.
Motion by King, second by Maguire to
appoint Doug Schoenfuss as coordinator for the Town of Emmet first
responders. Motion carried. Previous coordinator, Scott Pupp, has
moved out of the area. Schoenfuss
accepted the appointment and stated he has received the recent supplies ordered
for the first responders including the radio batteries and Lifepak
kits.
Leon Woller from Rural Insurance Company
presented the Board with preliminary quotations for Property and Liability
insurance, and Workman’s Compensation insurance. He answered several questions from the Board
regarding property values. A few
adjustments will be made to these values and he will send a new quotation to
the Clerk for budgetary considerations.
After Board discussion, a motion by Maguire, second by King to terminate
the Town’s policy with the Local Government Property Insurance Fund and
accept the proposal from Rural Insurance.
Karl Kurtzweil reported to the Board
that most graveling projects have been completed for 2016. The total gravel applied to Sugar Bush
Road was 1,638 yards. Major projects
for 2017 include the replacement of the two adjoining culverts on Maple Leaf
Road, and the Clerk will send in the application for County cost-sharing on
this project. The Town will also
reset a culvert on the Maple Court subdivision.
Motion by Maguire, second by King to
approve the Marathon City Fire contract for 2017. There will be a slight increase in the
section fees, however, the Board recognizes the necessity of having fire
protection for the Town of Emmet located east of Highway S.
Budgetary items for 2017 were discussed
by the Board. There will be no
money put in the budget for the proposed county-wide address changes. It appears that implementation of this
will not be until 2018. Supervisor
King presented the Board with various quotations for a reclaimer. These quotes range from $4,900 to
$17,000 for a grader-mounted reclaimer.
The preliminary budget for a reclaimer will be $10,000 to $11,000. The Clerk will have a proposed budget
ready for discussion for the October 11, 2016 meeting.
Motion by Don Dahlke, second by Maguire
to authorize the Town to reimburse Town Board Members for their registration
expenses for the Wisconsin Town’s Association annual convention. Motion carried. Board members will send in their own
registrations for the days and times they wish to attend.
Motion by Maguire, second by King to
approve the Halder Community Hall as an alternative site for in-person absentee
voting. Motion carried. This is necessary to comply with
requirements of a recent court decision regarding in-person absentee voting.
Alvin Kaiser was in attendance and
stated that he will be willing to continue to do brushing work for the Town of
Emmet. He will coordinate with Karl
on upcoming projects including portions of West Still Hill Road and Brookfield
Road.
The Board discussed updating the
comprehensive plan and a few possible changes in the zoning regulations. Chairman Dahlke explained that any
proposed zoning changes would have to be done with legal compliance. No date was set for these two items.
Public comments involved land and
property transactions where after certified surveys, property amounts and
boundaries change. It is important
before any property transactions to get a certified survey as nearly all
surveys are not completely accurate.
This also enables the assessor to keep all property records up to date.
Motion by Maguire, second by King to
authorize the Clerk to pay major bills (Eau Pleine
Park Road – chip sealing project) that may come in before the next
meeting. Motion carried.
Motion by Maguire, second by King to
authorize payment of bills and wages as presented. Motion carried.
Motion by Maguire, second by King to set
date for the next regular Town Board meeting for Tuesday, October 11, 2016 @
7:30 PM at the Halder Community Hall.
Motion carried.
Motion by King, second by Maguire to

The regular monthly Town Board Meeting
of the Town of Emmet was called to order on the above date by Chairman, Don
Dahlke. The Meeting was held in the
Halder Community Hall.
All Town Board members were
present. Also present were Karl
Kurtzweil, Ed, Sedlacek, Sharon Bickford, Duane Ladick, Peggy Koss, and Jim
Kafka.
Motion by Wayne King, second by Meldon
Maguire to approve the minutes of the March 8 2016 Board Meeting. Motion carried. Treasurer Shirley Dahlke presented the
financial report for April. Motion
by Maguire, second by King to approve the Treasurer’s report. Motion carried.
The Clerk reported that there was one
building permit issued in March; Russell Hanke – shed. A total of 405
votes were cast in the spring primary on April 5, 2016, which was 73% of
eligible voters. The Clerk reported
that there were 29 new registrations and the voting in the upper level of the
Town Hall worked very well.
Elections will continue to be held in the upper level of the Town Hall.
A preliminary schedule was presented by
Karl Kurtzweil for the road graveling schedule in 2016. Roads to be graveled include Holstein
Road from Cedar Hedge to Highway H, Lovers Lane, Valley View Drive, Lara Lane,
Mallard Lane, and portions of Maple Leaf and Briarwood Road. Sometime this summer, Heartland
Cooperative will be replacing one of the propane tanks; and at that time, the
area where the tanks are sitting will be built up and a layer of gravel
applied. The possibility of fencing
in the tanks was mentioned, however, no action was taken on that matter at this
time.
Ed Sedlacek and Sharon Bickford
presented their plan for starting a small business on Halder Drive. The consensus of the Board was that
there will be no need to have any zoning changes for this project. Ed mentioned that he would probably have
to put in another driveway for pumping his septic tank; however that will be a
private concern.
Gravel bids were received from the
following: Ladick Road Materials
– screened decomposed granite delivered to the Town @ $5.48, loaded on
Town trucks @ $3.75, delivered to Town residents and landowners @ $6.70; fill

supplier has the availability of trucking on each particular graveling
project. Motion by King, second by
Maguire to accept the bid from Kafka Dustbuster for
the 38% solution calcium chloride @ $.99/gallon. Motion carried.
Jim Kafka of JRK Properties,
Incorporated, outlined his plans to the Board to rezone a portion of his
property in Section 13 to heavy industrial. The plan commission hearing will be
scheduled later this year.
The Board discussed the proposal of Mr.
Franke to put a trailer for a hunting cabin on his property. Town zoning prohibits trailers (mobile
homes) for residential use. Any
structure Mr. Franke builds will have to comply with the Town’s zoning
code for square footage (960 square feet) for residential use. Any septic system will have to comply
with Marathon County zoning regulations.
A letter from the Marathon County CPZ
Department requesting a member of the Town Board to be on an advisory committee
for the implementation of the proposed address change was received and
discussed. This matter was tabled
until the May meeting. The Board
will consult with other local Town Officials to their views on serving on this
committee.
Final plans for the meal and
refreshments for the annual meeting on April 19, 2016, were made.
Motion by King, second by Maguire to
approve payment of bills and wages as presented and also authorization to pay
Stratford Builders the balance due upon receipt of their bill. Motion carried.
Motion by Maguire, second by King to set
the date for the next regular Town Board meeting on May 10, 2016 @ 7:30 p.m. in

The 2016 assessment roll will be open for open book public inspection from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M., at the same location. Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the Board.
No person will be allowed to appear before the Board of Review, to testify to the Board by telephone, or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the assessor to view the property.
After the first meeting of the Board of Review and before the Board’s final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the Board of Review may contact or provide information to a member of the Board about the person’s objection, except at a session of the Board.
The Board of Review may not hear an objection to the amount or valuation of property unless, at least 48 hours before the Board’s first scheduled meeting, the objector provides to the Board’s Clerk written or oral notice of an intent to file an objection, except that upon a showing of good cause and the submission of a written objection, the Board shall waive the requirement during the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, and the Board may waive the requirement up to the end of the fifth day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days with proof of extraordinary circumstances for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and failure to appear before the Board of Review during the first two hours of the first scheduled meeting.
Objections to the amount or valuation of property shall first be made in writing and filed with the Clerk of the Board of Review within the first two hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, except that, upon evidence of extraordinary circumstances, the Board may waive that requirement up to the end of the fifith day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than five days. The Board may require objections to the amount or valuation of property to be submitted on forms approved by the Department of Revenue, and the Board shall require that any forms include stated valuations of the property in question. Persons who own land and improvements to that land may object to the aggregate valuation of that land and improvements to that land, but no person who owns land and improvements to that land may object only to the valuation of that land or only to the valuation of improvements to that land. No person may be allowed in any action or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property unless the written objection has been filed and that person in good faith presented evidence to the Board in support of the objections and made full disclosure before the Board, under oath, of all of that person’s property liable to assessment in the district and the value of that property. The requirement that objections be in writing may be waived by express action of the Board.
When appearing before the Board of Review, the objecting person shall specify in writing the peron’s estimate of the value of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person’s objection and specify the information that the person used to arrive at that estimate.
No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or object to a valuation if that valuation was made by the assessor or the objector using the income method of valuation, unless the person supplies the assessor with all the information about income and expenses, as specified in the assessor’s manual under s.73.03(2a), Wis. Stats., that the assessor requests. The Town of Emmet has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the assessor under this paragraph that provides exceptions for persons using information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or the duties of their officer or by order of a court. The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under s.19.35(1), Wis. Stats.
The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, surgeon, or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability. No other persons may testify by telephone unless the Board, in its discretion, has determined to grant a property owner’s or their representative’s request to testify under oath by telephone or written statement.
No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or contest the amount of an assessment unless, at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board, or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed under s.70.47(3)(a), Wis. Stats., that person provides to the Clerk of the Board of Review notice as to whether the person will ask for the removal of a member of the Board of Review and, if so, which member, and provides a reasonable estimate of the length of time the hearing will take.
