Town Supervisor Reports: Supervisor Marquardt reported that he missed the last DeForest Fire meeting.

Town Manager’s Report:

• Hickory Lane Repair – The repair south of Cuba Valley Road was completed by Wolf Paving at a cost of $1,215. The town received notification last week that we were NOT selected for the TRID grant funding to repair Hickory Lane north of Cuba Valley Road.      
• Road Project Status – Dane County Highway, Payne & Dolan and Tri-County have reviewed Bonetti Road and Norway Grove School Road. Bid specs will be prepared soon for Bonetti Road, and we are waiting for the County’s input before putting the final specs together. Areas to be seal coated include Cuba Valley Road from CTH I to Hickory Lane, Dekorra Road, Redbird Road, and part of Old 113. Crack filling has been completed on various roads in the town.
• Automated Trash/Recycling – Veolia is expecting to be able to send the postcards out soon. Residents will have 2 weeks to return the cards to them.
• Recycling Grant Update – The paperwork has been completed and submitted to the DNR.
• Website Update – We were hoping to be running on the new site in March. They are switching to a new operating platform, and we will be placed on the new one, so it is taking longer. It is normally a $300 upgrade, but we will not be charged the additional amount due to the delay.
• Cold Storage Building Repairs – The repairs have been completed and everything went well. The remainder of the bill is being paid at this meeting.  
• Personal Property – Lisa Pertzborn-Whiting from Imagination Trends will attend the next meeting. There was a problem with Personal Property vs. Manufacturing.
• Veith Annexation – Mike and Ann Veith, 7075 River Road, have filed a petition to annex to the Village of DeForest. The request is being reviewed by the State Department of Administration. More information will be available later, but if the annexation is approved, the Village will pay the town our portion of local taxes for 5 years.
• Lantern Hollow – The Lien has been replaced with a Letter of Credit. The amount of the Letter of Credit was reduced by $28,160 dues to that amount being paid directly to Dane County for stormwater management. The change was approved by Attorney Mitby.

Motion by Ripp, 2^nd by Marquardt to pay current town and utility bills, expenses, wages and payments to fire districts in the amount of $123,206.69 All yes.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:33 P.M.
