Fire Dept/Town Storage Building overview

SPECIAL ELECTOR MEETING, Tuesday, August 25, 2026

Overview of Town Heated Facility Project Proposal

Primary Justification:

Improved storage, equipment protection, and faster emergency and public works response.

Key Points

  • There is a storage space shortage for both the Town road department and Fire
  • Existing heated and unheated storage buildings are at or near
  • Some equipment is currently stored in unheated space, which is not ideal for emergency response equipment, batteries, boats, trailers, pumps, and winter road equipment.
  • A new heated storage building would improve emergency response readiness and operational efficiency for both departments.

Proposed Building

  • Approximately 60′ x 60′ heated storage
  • Located north of the current
  • Wood-frame construction with concrete floor, steel siding and roof, insulation, electricity, and basic
  • No windows, running water, offices, or interior

Funding Concept

  • Initial site work and concrete could begin fall 2026 using Fire Department CD
  • Building construction would continue in 2027 using remaining Fire Department funds and Town
  • About $103,000 from the Fire Department fund is expected to be
  • Additional funding could come from Town funds, fundraising efforts, grants, business donations, and citizen contributions.
  • To be completely transparent, there is a possibility that taxes may need to be levied, but that would involve another special elector meeting to obtain approval.

Public Vote

  • A township needs elector approval to build a new building because Wisconsin Statute 10 reserves direct budgetary and property powers for resident voters at a special town meeting, rather than granting total executive control to the elected town board.
  • Elector approval grants the town board the legal authority to move forward with a project (through board approval at a future meeting).
  • The Board is asking electors to authorize up to $350,000 for the project (estimates indicate less).

Invitation to Tour Current Storage Facilities

  • Before or after the regular board meeting, August 17, 2026 (meeting is at 7 m.)
  • Before the special elector meeting, August 25, 2026 (meeting is at 6 m.)
