Chairman Jerry F. Duden called the Town of Maiden Rock board to order at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 13 and led the Pledge of Allegiance. On motions by Supervisor John Danneker, seconded by Chairman Jerry Duden, the board accepted the September 2025 minutes and the treasurer’s report; both motions carried with all members present voting in favor and Supervisor Allen White recorded as absent.
Carl Nelson introduced Ken Harwood and Jon Bingol of the Mississippi River Regional Planning Commission, who presented a contract to help the town planning commission update Maiden Rock’s comprehensive plan. The contract price is $10,500. Supervisor John Danneker moved to accept the contract and Chairman Jerry F. Duden seconded; the motion carried with all members present voting in favor. The contract was signed and will be mailed back to MRRPC.
Chairman Jerry F. Duden read Resolution 2025-3, "Discontinuing 440th Street, Town of Maiden Rock, Pierce County, Wisconsin," and moved to discontinue maintenance of 440th Street. The board approved the resolution on a roll-call vote: Jerry Duden — Yes; John Danneker — Yes; Allen White — Absent. The motion carried.
Roads and maintenance updates included a reported denial of a disaster-relief application for Rustic Road/Pine Creek storm damage; the board said repairs are in progress and that culverts have been addressed and half the township has been mowed. The board reviewed two bids for 3,000 tons of 3/4" crushed rock: Pierce County Highway bid $12.32 per ton (administration included) and Greg Bechel bid $11.75 per ton. Supervisor John Danneker moved to accept Greg Bechel’s bid and Chairman Jerry Duden seconded; the motion carried with all members present voting in favor.

Clerk/Treasurer Carla R Schuster requested Town Hall cleaning and said she will be out of the country for a week; the board set the 2026 budget hearing for Nov. 10, 2025 at 6:00 p.m., with the regular board meeting to follow.
During public comment Mary Anne Wise thanked the board "for choosing to go with MRRPC in assisting the Planning Commission Committee." Time cards were reviewed with no concerns. Supervisor John Danneker moved to adjourn, Chairman Jerry F. Duden seconded, and the meeting adjourned at 7:56 p.m.
What happens next: The MRRPC contract will be returned to the commission and planning work will proceed; the board will advertise for the highway patrol vacancy and consider agenda items at the Nov. 10 budget hearing and subsequent regular meeting.
