Please join the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for a virtual construction update meeting (Monday, May 24, 2021 at 6:00pm) (link below) to discuss upcoming work taking place at WIS 32 from WIS 29 to the Village of Pulaski. Construction is currently scheduled to start Monday June 7, 2021 with the detour starting on Wednesday June 9, 2021. The intent of this meeting is to share details of work zone operations, staging, and traffic impacts. The construction contractor, Northeast Asphalt, will be available to answer questions and discuss any concerns. No in-person public meeting will be held due to the current health emergency.

This meeting will be held via Microsoft Teams so project staff and the contractor can share project visuals. It is recommended you install Microsoft Teams software prior to the meeting. It is free and relatively user friendly: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/download-app

Spring is the time of year when wildlife and people start bumping into each other. 

Baby wildlife: Leave them alone. Mother animals do not hang around their babies since it draws attention to them.  Babies survive by staying hidden and not moving. If an animal appears injured or in a dangerous location call Animal Control @819-6709 or the Wild Life Sanctuary @391-3671/3685.   

Trapping-Please Don’t!

– trapping(even live trapping) in spring or summer creates baby animal orphans that will starve to death without their mother!   

– traps set at night often catch skunks. 

Call Animal Control at 819-6709-for methods that are more effective, more humane and less expensive. 

Remember-It is against the law and dangerous to keep wild animals if you don’t have permits, even if you plan on releasing them. For more information about rescuing wildlife or deterring their presence call the numbers above.  

Thanks.

Pittsfield Animal Control/Humane Officer

The County is working to improve internet service by testing and compiling coverage area data to apply for grants.

If you have slow coverage PLEASE run this test. If you ran it with your hard connection, consider shutting off your wi-fi and running it with just your cellular connection. This type of multiple tests from one location are Okay.

Please use the below website. The county needs at least another 1,000 tests in the rural area for a good sampling.

The Town through the money available through Covid funding recently purchased a camera system to enable residents who have not been able to attend in person to be able to watch the meetings online through the Town’s Facebook page.

The camera has microphones to capture audio, a 360 degree camera to capture the whole room as well as a camera that can be directed to point at the board or another speaker.

This will allow people to watch and hear what is going on. Commenting through this system will not seen by the in person meeting attendees.

The Town has experimented with the camera and has the attached test video up for people to see. Please forgive the crudeness of the test. We will continue to experiment to make the system better.

We hope to have our first live use of the system at the February meetings.
