Holland board adopts personnel policies, resolutions and confirms appointments
Summary
The Board adopted the Emergency Operations Plan and an updated Employee Handbook, approved inclusion under the Wisconsin Retirement System, set Board of Review/Open Book dates, and confirmed multiple appointments including clerk-treasurer and Board of Appeals members.
The Holland Town Board used its March 9 meeting to adopt several administrative policies and confirm appointments affecting Town operations.
Resolutions and policies: the Board approved Resolution 2026-01 to include eligible employees in the Wisconsin Retirement System and Resolution 2026-02 supporting a state transportation funding solution. The Board also adopted the Town Emergency Operations Plan dated March 9, 2026, and approved the Town of Holland Employee Handbook as modified during the meeting; both motions carried by unanimous voice vote.
Appointments and administrative actions: the Board extended Clerk-Treasurer Janelle Kaiser’s appointment as Town Clerk-Treasurer, Plan Commission Clerk and Board of Appeals Clerk to April 30, 2027; Chair Huenink appointed Michael Kuffel as Weed Commissioner for a one-year term beginning May 1, 2026; the Board approved the appointments of Thomas Huenink as Building Inspector and Janelle Kaiser as Zoning Administrator for terms noted; and Jeffrey Kritz was confirmed as a Board of Appeals member with a term commencing April 1, 2026.
Other administrative items: the Board set dates for the 2026 Board of Review (May 20) and Open Book (May 4) and noted upcoming Wisconsin Towns Association training and convention dates. Clerk-Treasurer Kaiser also announced absentee voting dates and a public test of election equipment on April 2.
Why it matters: these administrative actions affect personnel, training, emergency preparedness, retirement benefits eligibility, and local procedural deadlines. The items are primarily administrative but establish the framework for Town operations and employee benefits going forward.
Next steps: staff will file required WRS documentation, publish notices for Board of Review/Open Book, distribute the adopted Emergency Operations Plan, and post the updated Employee Handbook to staff.
