Summary

The Minong Town Board approved its 2026 Road Plan on April 21 and added work to widen and gravel St. Croix Trail from Old Log Cabin to Three Mile Road.
Dean Patrick moved to adopt the plan, and Joe Radzak seconded; the motion carried with all members voting in favor. The board then voted to proceed with a paper bid process for the projects listed in the plan and set specific conditions for contractors.
The board directed that contractors receive 24 hours’ notice before starting work and that road work be scheduled Monday through Thursday. The board asked Todd Conaway to set a date and time when contractors may inspect roads and to indicate exactly what work is required. Members specified that any road undergoing chipsealing must be closed while work is performed. Bids are expected to be opened at the June meeting; Clerk/Treasurer Susan Conaway and Todd Conaway will draft the advertisement language and the clerk will research the legality of opening bids during a meeting and publicly announcing a winner at a town meeting.
Why it matters: The additions and bid conditions affect traffic impacts, contractor scheduling and the timeline for improvements in and around the Village of Minong. The board’s decisions set procurement parameters that will guide contractors, timeline and public notices in coming months.
What’s next: The clerk and town staff will prepare bid documents and a public notice; bids are anticipated to be opened at the June meeting per the board’s direction.
