Waldo board reviews Millpond spillway correspondence; DNR extension letter provided
Summary
Clerk/Treasurer Lisa Gillette provided a letter from former Village Administrator Bruce Neerhof outlining requirements and deadlines for pursuing work on the Millpond dam spillway; the DNR had provided an extension. Trustees questioned what the DNR specifically requires and noted administrative follow-up, including establishing a second bank signer after Neerhof's retirement.
Clerk/Treasurer Lisa Gillette told the Village of Waldo Board on Nov. 11, 2024 that former Village Administrator Bruce Neerhof had submitted a letter explaining requirements and deadlines if the village chooses to pursue work on the Millpond dam spillway. The clerk also provided a DNR extension letter to the board.
Trustee Dennis Reinemenn asked the board what the Department of Natural Resources is actually requiring of the village for the spillway; the minutes record the question but do not record a definitive answer or details of the DNR conditions. President Dekker noted an administrative action to add a second bank signer following Neerhof's retirement, which the board will need to arrange as part of transition tasks.
During public comment, resident Stephen Richgruber raised related local concerns including cleanup of dead trees around the Millpond, along with separate topics about UTV usage and intersection signals. Another attendee, Brian Wimmler, thanked the board for an informative meeting about the Millpond spillway. The minutes do not record technical specifications, cost estimates, or a timeline for spillway work; the DNR extension was provided but the extension period and specific obligations were not specified in the minutes.
