Summary
At its May 12 meeting, the Town of Maiden Rock board unanimously approved April minutes and financials, renewed two liquor licenses, authorized a $100 community donation, approved a $6,000 assessor contract for 2025–2027, and voted to begin the legal process to discontinue responsibility for 440th Street.
The Town of Maiden Rock board met Monday, May 12, 2025, at 6:42 p.m. and voted on several routine and road-related matters. Chairman Jerry F. Duden presided. John Danneker moved to approve the April 2025 minutes and Allen White seconded; the board approved the minutes. The board then accepted the April treasurer’s report by the same motion pattern.
The board unanimously approved renewal of liquor licenses for the Maiden Rock American Legion and Maidenwood Events for the July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026 licensing year. John Danneker moved for approval and Allen White seconded; minutes state the motions were carried with all in favor. The board also approved a $100 donation to MRACA for the Party in the Park 2025 after a motion by Danneker and a second from White.
Clerk/Treasurer Carla Schuster reported the town’s ARPA report was completed with assistance from Pierce Pepin Swift Current staff and noted $475.83 of ARPA funds were not used and must be returned to the state. She also said Open Book had been completed and the Board of Review was scheduled for May 13, 2025.
On personnel and contracts, the board approved an assessor contract with Bob Irwin for 2025–2027 at $6,000 total, payable at $500 per month; the motion was made by John Danneker and seconded by Allen White and carried unanimously.
On roads and infrastructure, the board heard that Pierce County Highway will begin work on previously marked areas and that initial grading has been completed on all township roads; additional rock is needed on the rustic road and culvert repairs were being arranged. The board voted to begin the process to discontinue the town’s responsibility for 440th Street in Warrentown after a motion by Danneker and a second by White; minutes record the motion carried.
Several procurement items were deferred: the board tabled decisions on summer fuel bids and a bid for parking lot blade patching because only one bid had been received for each item. The board also agreed to follow up with attorney Bob Loberg on a resolution concerning authority bonds for business loans and to revisit the item next month.
The board changed its June meeting date to June 16, 2025, at the clerk’s request, reviewed time cards with no concerns and adjourned at 8:03 p.m.
Next steps: the board will follow up with its attorney on the authority bonds resolution, monitor pending bids for fuel and blade patching, and continue the discontinuance process for 440th Street.
