THE ABCs OF TOWN GOVERNMENT
DECEMBER 2023 #37
A new town resident recently asked me how to know when the town board meets. Good question and one that prompts this month's posting. The Town of Buffalo Board Supervisors meet each month on the fourth Tuesday an exception being December when the meeting is the third Tuesday(meetings begin at 7:00PM) Early in each calendar quarter, the specific dates for the board meetings during that quarter are posted for public notice. So in January the meeting dates for January, February, March and April, 2024 will be posted. The specific agenda for each of these meetings and any special called other meetings will be posted 24 hours in advance (2 hour notice is allowed "for good cause.') Wis.ss60.80 requires posted notice "in at least three places in the town...." We post at the Town Hall (outside message board), Alliance Bank and the Wine House. Inn addition the notice is posted on the town website WWW.townofbuffalowi.com.

Occasionaly, there is an issue or announcement related to town business that seems to rise to the need to make contact with as many citizens as possible. One timely way to do this is through email contact. If you are not on the town's contact email list and would like to be, please contact [email protected]. This is used for emergency/important town business ONLY.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: In October, the TOB Board Supervisors received notice that Buffalo County Health & Human Services invited all public parks in Buffalo County to apply for up to $10,000 for improvement of the park especially in regard to more access, safety, etc. The TOB Board reviewed the needs of our park and submitted an application that included a new drinking and bottle filling station, a new iron filter system, repair of some playground equipment, replacement of sand base in the playground and replacement of the wood bleachers. We anticipate hearing in late November or early December if any or all of these projects have been approved for funding.
UPDATE: As of 12/4, funding had not been allocated. We have been asked to clarify some details of our proposal.
Guess what? Have a reunion, birthday party, graduation or just a plain ole family gathering? Are you aware the town hall is available for rent?
