A. Storage of Act files

Much discussion was had as to what to do with the ACT files that are currently in Eric’s shop because ACT does not have space anywhere to store these. The plan is that Clerk Schnaible will continue to work with Fireside to get the rest of the already scanned files accessible through the Papervision program at which point the ACT paper files can be destroyed. Stephen will also provide access to Papervision to the rest of the board to make sure they are satisfied with the program and process.

Chairman Sicble is also going to talk to the county to make sure we are following any legal requirements for file storage and retention.

The county cleaned a part of a resident's property where the county was forced to push gravel and sod along with the snow. The county said they are willing to help with this in a few rare instances where it is excessive. There was also some discussion on how or if ACT should spend money on a few options for road repairs.

Terry is retiring.

Supervisor Richard nominated Dusty Hasper

Supervisor Dewing 2nd the motion.

Vote: Monte – Yes, Gaylen – Yes, Eric – Yes

Dusty is voted in as the new Weed Supervisor.

Current problem weeds are leafy spurge and wormwood. If you want the county to cost share for your property you need to make an application to the county. They will only cost share up to 40 acres and will not do waterways and railways.

 

4. Zoning Board

 

  1. A. Hoer Property

Supervisor Richard provided an update to this issue, which is: now that the snow is gone, the lawyer needs to get the judge to sign off on an extension to the judgement. Once that is done the contractor can go in with the Sheriff to get an estimate of how much it will cost to clean up the property.

 

5. Adjourn – Chairman Sicble adjourned the meeting at 8:55pm.
