Minong board roundup: liquor licenses approved, Transfer Station free days set; several items postponed
Summary
At its May 11 meeting the Town of Minong Board approved liquor licenses pending publication, set Transfer Station free‑drop days (with a five‑tire limit), approved operator licenses, and postponed decisions on a fire truck, blower purchase and town‑hall painting; it also discussed resident notification tools.
The Town of Minong Board handled a slate of administrative items on May 11, approving liquor licenses and operator licenses, setting Transfer Station free days and deferring several purchases and larger decisions to future meetings.
Licenses: The board approved three 2026 liquor licenses pending required newspaper ad responses (motion by Linda Featherly, second Dean Patrick; all in favor) and approved liquor operator licenses 010–013 (motion by Linda Featherly, second Christine Holland; all in favor).
Transfer Station: The Transfer Station workgroup reported free‑drop days for all municipalities on June 10–13 and July 22–25, with a resident limit of five tires per drop‑off. The group also discussed electrical‑building repairs and a full 2027 review of non‑resident charges.
Capital and maintenance items: Discussion about a new Minong Fire Department truck produced bank financing options from CCF Bank and Shell Lake State Bank; the board voted to postpone action until the next meeting to gather more information. A proposed blower purchase and a $3,000 hallway‑painting quote were also postponed to allow additional research and possible use of existing equipment or staff labor.
Other items: The board discussed resident notification platforms (Constant Contact and TextMyGov), with staff instructed to gather more information and TextMyGov offering a presentation. Dean Patrick reminded residents the town’s sign ordinance prohibits placing signs in the town right‑of‑way and clarified that county and state highways are controlled by other jurisdictions.
Next steps: The board scheduled follow‑up items for the June 8 meeting, including a review of the nuisance ordinance and the postponed minutes from April 21.
