Due to right-of-way issues on some roads in the Town of Bradley, Byron was authorized to contact an Attorney who specializes in these cases. Chairman Huston and Byron will then contact the landowners involved. This involves both Sand Lane and Peaceful Valley Road. It was noted by the Chairman that known hazards in Town Roads must be taken care of.
Also, only the Road Supervisor, Bob, or the Town Chair will be able to sign road limit permits. An ad will be placed in the paper with the information on obtaining the permits. Bob will be at the Town Hall Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. until 8:00 a.m. to issue permits.

Supervisor Bartz informed the Board that the George Jentsch, the Constable, is feeling better and would stay on in that position; however, if anyone should receive a write-in vote at the election, the Town will need to contact that individual first.
The Clerk’s letter regarding the use of the P O Box for all Town mail was read and she would like to continue to receive mail at her home.

Following a discussion, M/S Bartz-Jelinek to purchase a subscription to the Tomahawk Leader.
Supervisor Bartz did not have anything regarding the library.
Plan Commission recommendations: M/S Bartz-Koth to follow the Commission’s recommendation to incorporate the County’s subdivision and platting checklist with minor modifications as part of the Town’s application checklist and that the Town take no action on applications until the Town receives copies of written approvals from the DNR/Army Corps of Engineers. The subdivision modifications would be to provide for town review of CSMs of four lots or less if no land is dedicated to the Town, to provide for Bradley’s minimum lot size requirement of 50,000 square feet, and to provide for town review over the recreation of single parcels. Also, the Board did direct the commission to pursue a land division ordinance as was recommended by the zoning department in order to institute town concerns. The Board will also begin thinking on how they will proceed with the adoption of the new zoning code.
Other business: Jack – concerned about the Fall Ride and possible vendors locating outside of the City of Tomahawk and the number of campers at Kahle Park. Bill – set a folder out from the Wisconsin Towns Association District meeting for everyone’s use. Kevin – the shelter for Tannery Road Waste & Recycling site will be ready for placement in the spring. Elsie – if the Board is in agreement, how big a building should be erected for maps and printout of lots at the cemetery. Jim Kincaid will clean out the room at Kahle Park this spring. Ann should fax our agendas to WJJQ and Tomahawk Leader to be sure they are received. Byron – he will have the blacktop bids out by the first of March so the Board can act on them at the April meeting. The Board will request the agendas and minutes from the City for anything that would involve the Town of Bradley. Bob will put shelving up in the furnace room.
M/S Koth-Jelinek to adjourn.
