Poplar trustees pass resolution to protect local roads
Summary
On May 12, 2026, the Village of Poplar Board passed Resolution 2026-01 aimed at protecting local roads. The motion carried unanimously among members present; the minutes do not specify enforcement mechanisms or funding sources.
The Village of Poplar Board voted May 12 to adopt Resolution 2026-01, “A resolution to protect local roads,” a measure intended to formalize the village’s approach to preserving roadway infrastructure. Trustee Kory Gilderman moved to pass the resolution; Trustee Bruce Bergsten seconded the motion, which carried without negative votes.
The minutes record the passage but do not include the resolution’s operative details such as funding, enforcement steps or whether the resolution creates new spending obligations. The resolution was listed on the agenda as “to protect local roads” and was adopted during the board’s New Business segment.
The vote followed a Douglas County update earlier in the meeting that noted a county road project on Highway B and a bridge near Lake Nebagamon, as well as references to capital funds for Sheriff’s Department body cameras. The minutes do not link those county actions to the village resolution. The board did not set a follow-up date or direct staff to prepare implementation materials at the meeting.
The board adjourned at 7:40 p.m.; no next steps for Resolution 2026-01 were recorded in the meeting minutes.
