Election/Board meeting update:

First, I hope this finds everyone as healthy and safe as they can be during this tumultuous time we’re living. Secondly, I wanted to update everyone as much as I could as to this upcoming week.

ELECTION:

As you all know, we have an election this Tuesday, April 7. Things have been changing almost daily, as you’ve probably heard on the news. As of this time, the polls will be open as usual from 7am until 8pm at our Town Hall – 10970 Hwy N for anyone that did not vote absentee or for anyone that is not a registered voter in the Township and needs to register before voting. While I’ve processed more absentee ballots than I could ever have imagined, I know we will be seeing some of you at the polls. Rest assured for any that are voting in person – we have been given guidelines and supplies from the Wisconsin Election Commission to make the experience as safe as possible for all involved.

If you requested an absentee ballot, know that you now have until 4 pm on Monday, April 13 to have it returned and still count for this election. It can be mailed back or dropped off at my residence (10166 MacArthur Dr) – there is a Town of Rock mailbox located near the side garage door for drop-off items that you are welcome to use.

MEETINGS:

This Thursday, April 9 is our regularly scheduled Board meeting at 7pm and it will still be held as scheduled – there are normal monthly items, like paying the bills, that can’t be postponed. However, in an effort to limit meeting time, the agenda will be very minimal (see below). Additionally, the Annual Town Meeting that was scheduled for April 21, 2020 will be postponed to a later date. I will send out notice once a new date has been determined.

The Town Board of the Town of Rock, Wood County, Wisconsin, hereby provides its written notice and an agenda of the MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD for Thursday, April 9, 2020 to be held at the Town Hall at 7:00 p.m.

AGENDA:

Meeting Call to Order
Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag
Minutes of March 12, 2020 Board Meeting
Opening of Quotes for 2020 Season
Treasurer’s Report
Accounts Payable
Adjournment

Let’s hope by next month that things will be back to normal. In the meantime, please contact me or any board member if you have questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Jill Wrensch
