Ken Jude is the only candidate to file for the position of
Supervisor. Ken needs no introduction
since he served for ten years as Wright County Commissioner from District I. Incumbent, Dave Stumpf,
did not file.
A unique feature of Township government is that the voters that attend
the Annual Meeting have a direct voice in controlling Township finances. The budget presented by the supervisors must
be approved by the electors present.
Residents in attendance control the township taxes. Other items at the meeting are the reports
from the Town Board on completed and proposed activity. One item which, thankfully, will not be on
the agenda is the reconstruction of
Items of business may be brought up from the floor by any voter present.
WINTER WOES
Our clerk spends a lot of time fielding calls about mail boxes damaged by
the township snow plows. As a general
rule, the township will not repair or replace the damaged post or box. In most cases, the damage has been caused by
snow rolling off the plow and not by a direct hit by the blade. It is a problem and a concern. There is a solution for most damaged mail
boxes.
The solution is swing away mailbox supports. First, the post is located far enough from
the road surface so that the support post is out of the path of the plow. Second, if the snow coming off the plow
should strike the support arm, it will swing.
The USPS recommends that the bottom of the box be 42-44 inches from the
ground. This is high enough to allow a
wing plow to pass under it, provided no newspaper boxes are placed below the
mailbox.
Some other recommendations would include:
No post may be greater than a wood 4x4.
A 5x6 or 6x6 won’t break, but it does leave the owner liable for damages
to equipment or other vehicles striking them.
Concrete posts are never approved.
The attractive vinyl boxes that fit over a 4x4 look
great but are very susceptible to damage. Please help us solve the problem. Swing away supports are available at cost
from the township for $42.00.
