Beaver Dam officials report illegal dumping, squad-car needs and multiple road repairs
Summary
Police Chief Eric Feucht told the board June produced 38 calls for service and that illegal dumping at Town Hall persists; road maintenance reported closures, a culvert issue on Iron Road, cleanup after a garbage truck fire, pothole repairs and new speed bumps on Peachy Road.
At the July 9 meeting the town’s police and road maintenance representatives reported ongoing public-safety and infrastructure concerns that the board will monitor.
Chief Eric Feucht told the board the police department logged 38 calls for service in June and highlighted an ongoing problem with illegal dumping at the Town Hall site; he also presented an estimate to outfit the town’s incoming squad car. The minutes record that equipment needs for the squad car will be reviewed at the August meeting but do not include the estimate’s dollar amount.
Les Oestreich, speaking for the Road Maintenance Department, summarized recent work and incidents: Parker Road closures during the previous month; a scheduled dumpster day; work on the Iron Road culvert; pothole patching across town; cleanup after a garbage truck was on fire (he described arranging removal of dumped trash after the incident); and installation of speed bumps on Peachy Road.
Board action on these items was limited to accepting the department reports; the minutes show the board approved the committee and department reports as read. Specific repair schedules, cost estimates beyond the squad-car estimate, and assignment of follow-up responsibilities were not detailed in the minutes.
