Minong accepts public works retirement; approves two‑person crew trial
Summary
After a closed session on April 21, the Minong Town Board accepted Brian Henning’s retirement effective Sept. 30, 2026, and authorized a trial two‑person crew with the option to add help if needed to maintain town services.
Following a closed session held under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c) to consider employment matters, the Minong Town Board on April 21 accepted a letter of retirement from town employee Brian Henning effective Sept. 30, 2026.
After returning to open session, Dean Patrick moved to accept Henning’s retirement; Joe Radzak seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The board also approved a trial period to move to a two‑person public works crew after Henning’s retirement, with the option to bring in additional help if operational needs require it.
Why it matters: The retirement and staffing change affect the town’s operations and workforce planning. The two‑person trial is intended to test whether routine duties can be handled with a smaller crew and to preserve service continuity while minimizing disruption to operations.
What’s next: Town leaders will monitor operations during the trial and can add personnel as needed; the clerk and relevant supervisors will handle implementation and insurance/coverage details.
