  • Larry Mundth regarding assessors value from 2018.  Larry gave us the attached letter that he sent Ian Holloway.  Ian did get figures to Larry for his property however, Larry also asked for figures for a comparable property and has not yet received those figures.
  • Hall Rental Procedures and Policies.  Linda reported that a lady rented the Town Hall and has rented before.  When they returned the key she announced that a table had broken.  Linda told them that they would have to replace the table.  There had been another table that was damaged.  Clark was able to fix the one table and then replaced the other table.  Linda called the VFW and got  their rates.  We are comparable with their rates however, their security deposit is more than what we collect.  The Town will be invoicing the party that had damaged the table for the cost of the table, mileage and Clark’s time.  Motion by C. Mundth, seconded by P. Grosskrueger effective January 1, 2020 to increase the Hall rental security deposit to $100 for all rentals except for the 4 rentals that are already booked. Motion carried.

    Reedsburg Area Ambulance Service Commission Meeting, November 12, 2019
    The meeting began with a call to order, roll call, and certify compliance with Open Meeting Law.  After the approval of the agenda and the minutes from the last meeting, the financial statements were reviewed and approved. 
    Director Kowalke presented his monthly report and training and presented a proposal for a new Employee Assistance Program.  The program that the Ambulance Service had through their American Ambulance Association (AAA) membership is no longer being provided.  The program involved counseling, financial and family matter assistance, and a variety of other resources for employees who may be facing personal matters.  The program had positive results in the past and provides employees access to help that they may need so that their job performance is not negatively impacted.  The Director recommended that a contract be signed with FEI Behavioral Health, a company that is focused on Emergency Responders.  The Ambulance Service has been using the company since AAA stopped providing the program.  The Commission approved the recommendation.
    The director advised that the new ambulance was currently being manufactured and would be completed after the first of the year.  There was no new information regarding the ongoing land acquisition from the DNR; the process is tedious and has a multitude of steps that it has to go through before a final decision is made.
    The meeting closed with adjournment.

    Respectfully submitted,
    Rebecca M. Klitzke
