ELMWOOD, WI - October 10, 2011 the Elmwood Village Board held their monthly meeting at the Village Auditorium. During Public Input, Joanne Baier spoke on behalf of the Elmwood Historical Society. She requested the piano in the village hall be removed, so a cabinet could be put in its place. The board responded by sending the request forward to the Parks and Buildings Committee.

Dan Schuler then spoke to the board, and requested a section of land, 30 acres in size be removed from the village plat. The land would stay under the village ordinances, but would be placed under the Managed Forest Law (MLF), with the Pierce County Forester. This would also lower the property taxes on the land.

A payroll schedule change was made for the Health and Dental Insurances. There was also a change in the Grievance Policy. A State mandated change was required for Section 66.059.

In Committee and Board Reports, The Finance and Personnel Committee discussed the payroll schedule, and the grievance policy changes. The Nursing Home Committee discussed the Conceal/Carry Law posting/policy, as well Trustee Trisha Knops stated they had a good turnout for the “Motivate to Move” program.

The Library, Police, Public Works, and Parks and Buildings Committees had no meetings to report.

Absent from this months meeting, were Trustees Brian Buck and Mike Sand. The meeting adjourned at 7:31 pm.
