4. Other BusinessThe Clerk explained we have begun our 1-year contract with a new building inspector, Troy Evenson, as of April 1, 2024. His contact information is on our Town website.

We held the Spring election on April 2, 2024. Koshkonong at the time had approximately 2500
registered voters, and turnout at the election was about 43% with 1075 ballots cast. The school
referendum did pass. Supervisor 3, Erik Hoffman, and Supervisor 4, Matt Hill, both won their
bids for reelection, and will have a 2-year term.

Walt Christensen present; described how he was unexpectedly in the hospital shortly before the
election, and was able to request an absentee ballot for a hospitalized elector. Clerk explained
that hospitalized electors can appoint an agent to pick up their absentee ballot, the Clerk verifies
their identity as the agent, and they return the absentee ballot before the polls close on election
day. Clerk expanded on absentee voting and explained requirements of the certificate and
witness signature portion.

The Chairperson presented the 2023 financial statement prepared and provided by Johnson Block
CPA. They also completed our Form CT. Highway budget and actual spending for 2023
breakdown presented. ARPA funds recap given. Walt Christensen inquired on bridge
maintenance from the highway budget. Chairperson explained every 2 years bridges need to be
inspected.

Koshkonong Mounds Road proposed walking path consideration was discussed. If we apply for
a grant for this proposed path, we must meet federal standards including but not limited to
having it paved, separated from the road, and plowing it. Supervisor Hill would like to approach
some residents from the area to get a feel on their views of the proposed walking path.

Chris Johnson present on Zoom, he lives on Old 26. Chris stated Old 26 experiences heavy
traffic, and feels it’s been neglected for many years. Cheney advised we have applied for a grant
for Old 26 four times, and it would cost up to $1 million. We’ll continue to apply for grants for
Old 26 and Hackbarth. There is a lot of competition with grants, and each year they change their
criteria of what they’re looking for. Ana Vega, who lives on Old 26, has concerns with speed;
asked if we’ve considered doing a speed study. Supervisor Hill hopes the radar speed sign we
have invested in may help with speeding issues. Supervisor Hoffman is not against reducing
speed limits, but questions if it would solve the issue. Supervisor Brandenburg advised the Town
reduced that speed less than 10 years ago after a petition of over 300 signatures was brought to
reduce the speed from 45 to 35, and that has not seemed to fix the issue. Walt Christensen
advised of an upcoming meeting of the Traffic Safety Commission at the County.
