Town of Ironton adopts Sauk County hazard mitigation plan, schedules full property revaluation for 2026
Summary
The Town of Ironton Board unanimously adopted the Sauk County Hazard Mitigation/Emergency Management Plan and voted to conduct a full township property revaluation in 2026. The board also clarified UTV operating hours and approved routine road- and administrative items.
Chair Jerry White called the Town of Ironton Board meeting to order Oct. 13 and led the board in several unanimous votes on policy and administrative items.
The board adopted the Sauk County Hazard Mitigation/Emergency Management Plan after a motion by Chair Jerry White and a second by Board member Bill Kinsman; the motion passed 3-0. Clerk Diane Reinfeldt recorded the adoption in the minutes. The plan integrates Ironton into Sauk County’s hazard mitigation and emergency management framework, which affects how the town coordinates response and recovery efforts with county agencies.
In a separate motion, the board voted to pursue a full township property revaluation in 2026. Board member Bill Kinsman moved the measure and Chair Jerry White seconded; the motion passed 3-0. The board set a budget-preparation meeting for Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 5:00 p.m. to begin planning for fiscal impacts of the revaluation and other line items.
The board clarified Town of Ironton UTV ordinance operating hours to run from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; that clarification was recorded during old business. Other road-related items discussed included a report from patrolmen that fall mowing is underway and that a one-ton truck will need tires before winter. The patrolmen also reported a stop sign on Kinnamon and Cemetery Road had been clipped off and that information on the Marshall bridge was pending from Geico.
The board reviewed infrastructure work and estimates: a $285 bill from Fred Gruber for Pickel Road Bridge was recorded, and members noted that sealcoating for White, Finnegan and LaRue roads is planned for 2026 following contractor recommendation. Estimates are being collected to expand or replace the town’s salt/sand shed.
Administrative and routine approvals recorded in the minutes included purchase approval for a laptop for the clerk (vendor: Country Computers), authorization of ACH from Community First Bank for escrowed taxes, and approvals of driveway permits for Matt Peterson and for Eli Mast (the minutes note no tube was required for Mast). A motion to pay the bills passed 3-0. The meeting adjourned at 7:59 p.m.
The board’s next regular meeting was set for Monday, Nov. 10 at 6:30 p.m.
