At its Sept. 10 meeting the Town of Mountain board approved Resolution #2024‑02 to continue exploring a Nicolet Fire District, a month‑to‑month $250 rental for Bellin Health, inclusion in the WI Public Employers Group Health Insurance (plan 2158), multiple operator licenses, a personnel hire and a motion to euthanize dogs in custody.
The Town of Mountain board voted on a series of measures at its Sept. 10 meeting at the Bill Lazansky Community Center, approving a fire‑district resolution, a rental agreement, employee benefits enrollment, several licenses and personnel actions.
The board approved Resolution #2024‑02 to continue work on a possible Nicolet Fire District. Sup. Carey‑Mielke moved approval and Sup. O'Barski seconded; roll call votes were O'Barski — Aye; Carey‑Mielke — Aye; Maletzke — Aye. Chair Maletzke declared the motion carried.
The board approved moving forward with a month‑to‑month rental for Bellin Health to store a truck and health‑screening trailer at a proposed rate of $250 per month; the motion to forward the agreement passed with one abstention, recorded as Sup. O'Barski.
Clerk/Treasurer Kauzlaric presented information on group health plans available through the Wisconsin Public Employers Group Health Insurance Program. The board approved inclusion under the program and selected plan 2158 (identified in the minutes as “Deductible HMO‑Standard PPO w/Dental”). Roll‑call votes were recorded as Aye from O'Barski, Carey‑Mielke and Maletzke.
The board approved three operator's license applications — J. Dickmann, M. Lizarraga and S. Lizarraga — each on motions by Sup. Carey‑Mielke and seconds by Sup. O'Barski.
On an animal‑control matter the board voted to follow the Sheriff's department recommendation concerning dogs remaining in custody. Sup. Carey‑Mielke moved and, as recorded in the minutes, said, “I regretfully move that we euthanize those dogs.” The motion was seconded by Chair Maletzke and the minutes state the motion carried.
In personnel action taken after a closed session under Wisconsin statutes on employee matters, the board voted to hire Xander Lensmire retroactive to Aug. 28. The motion to hire was made by Sup. O'Barski, seconded by Sup. Carey‑Mielke, and carried.
What happens next: the minutes record the board's approvals; the resolution work for the Nicolet Fire District will continue as directed, the rental agreement will be advanced in discussions with Bellin Health, the selected insurance plan will be processed through the WI program, and the new hire's start date was set retroactive to Aug. 28.
No details on final written contracts, exact vote tallies beyond those recorded by roll call, or public comments on the decisions were provided in the minutes.
