Maiden Rock board votes to begin process to discontinue 440th Street; Pierce County to perform road work
Summary
The Maiden Rock board unanimously voted to start the legal process to discontinue responsibility for 440th Street in Warrentown and heard that Pierce County Highway will address marked road areas. Residents requested a road committee and asked about township-funded dust control.
MAIDEN ROCK, Wis. — At its May 12 monthly meeting, the Town of Maiden Rock board authorized starting the legal process to discontinue township responsibility for 440th Street in Warrentown.
Supervisor John Danneker made the motion to begin the discontinuance process and Supervisor Allen White seconded; the motion carried with all board members voting in favor (Chairman Jerry F. Duden, Danneker and White). The minutes emphasize that this action initiates the process and does not itself finalize abandonment or transfer of the road.
Clerk/Treasurer Carla R. Schuster reported that Pierce County Highway will begin working on marked areas in the township soon, and that all township roads received initial grading with follow-up as needed. The minutes note a rustic road requires additional rock, sign repair has begun and shop area cleaning is in progress; Lance was contacted regarding culvert repair.
Only one bid for summer fuel and a single bid for parking lot blade patching were received; the board tabled decisions on fuel procurement and patching until next month. During public comment, resident Dan Ellenberger asked the board to establish a road committee, and another resident asked whether dust control could be a township expense; Chairman Duden said he will check prices. Chris Martin raised questions about a road near his property.
The board’s vote to begin discontinuance starts a legal process that typically includes notices and possible public hearings before any final action. Pierce County work and forthcoming bids will shape repair and maintenance decisions in coming weeks.
