Silver Creek supervisors approve routine items, set follow-up on barking-dog complaint
Summary
At its Nov. 6 meeting the Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors approved routine agenda items including meeting minutes, disbursements, a $110 conference fee and a change to bi-monthly bill payments; a barking-dog complaint and a rezoning concern tied to an Xcel project were sent for follow-up.
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors met on Nov. 6, 2025. Chairman Mike Helman called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.; the board moved quickly through routine business and several unanimous votes.
Vice Chair Brandon Geyen made the motion to approve the meeting agenda; Supervisor Andy Christensen seconded and the motion carried 4-0. Geyen also moved to approve the Oct. 21 meeting minutes (seconded by Supervisor Ryan Nelson) and the list of disbursements (seconded by Christensen); both motions carried 4-0. Later in the meeting the board approved a $110 annual conference fee and a change to paying bills on a bi-monthly schedule; both motions were made by Geyen, seconded by Christensen and carried 4-0.
During the open forum a resident raised a barking-dog complaint and asked whether an ordinance exists to address the nuisance. The board said it would discuss the matter at its Dec. 2 meeting. A participant identified as Johann expressed concern about conditional rezoning and the potential impacts of an Xcel project; the minutes record the comment but do not show follow-up action beyond noting the concern.
Under new business a representative of Lakeview Cemetery asked the township to consider taking over the cemetery. The board recommended that the representative bring the request to the township’s annual meeting for fuller consideration.
Clerk-treasurer Alana Paumen and a maintenance item were listed on the agenda; the minutes do not include substantive details of either report. The meeting ended after a motion by Geyen to adjourn at 7:55 p.m., seconded by Nelson.
