Green Lake outlines 2026 road projects; maintenance staff reports repairs and 120 tons of winter salt used
Summary
The Town of Green Lake discussed its 2026 road program — paving, crack-filling and chip-sealing on named roads — and received a detailed maintenance update including tree removals, vehicle repairs, and use of about 120 tons of winter salt.
The Town of Green Lake board reviewed its 2026 road project plan and received a detailed public-works update at its March 9 meeting.
The published project list included paving Prairie Road, crack-filling on Prairie Road south of Miller Road, North Kearley Road and McAfee Road, and chip-sealing on Utley Road to Tichora to County Road A, Fiegel Road, and Boelter Road. The minutes do not record a formal vote to approve a contract or funding source at this meeting; the road plan was presented as part of routine project planning.
Maintenance staff member Dan reported several completed and planned maintenance activities: removal of a dead tree at Phelps Cemetery with stump grinding planned for summer; removal of a damaged tree at Kearley’s; brush cleanup on Kahl Road; brushing of Fiegel Road with limb trimming to follow using a bucket truck; replacement of chipper blades after striking metal in a limb; pickup repairs (including replacement of a heat door) performed at Homen Ford; and repairs to truck 99 including passenger rear spring replacement, hinge repair and reinforcement of box rails. Town-hall toilets were replaced after a rental-related issue. Staff also installed weight-limit signs to match county signage.
Dan reported the town used approximately 120 tons of salt this winter. Officials noted the 2026–2027 salt contracts will be released mid-March and that salt-shed inspections are scheduled in March. The county will spray ditches for noxious weeds but will not spray roads around the lakes.
Fire-department billing was raised as an item at the last fire-department meeting and will be discussed again at the next fire-department meeting; no town action on billing was taken at this meeting.
The board did not provide detailed funding breakdowns or adopt contracts at the March 9 meeting. Further action on road contracts or large repairs would require separate motions and are not recorded in these minutes.
