the person who was doing the car repairing has left and is no longer

Shack dealership. The Board stated they had no objections and re-
quested that he appear before the Otsego Planning Co:pission at their

Gene Jasukula, a supervisor in Woodland Township appeared be-
fore the Board to explain the type of contracts (fire) Woodland Town-
ship has. Four fire departments serve Woodland Township- Waverly,
Montrose, Winsted, and Watertown. The Township proposed a contract
with each department based on a per unit served basis, a unit being
a residence or farm. Winsted Charges $22.00 per unit, Waverly and
Montrose $20.00 per unit and Watertown $30.00 per unit. This is a
yearly charge and there is no other contract charge and no run charge.
The residents of the Township decide which Fire Department they want
service from, the unit charge for the department they choose is add-
ed to their taxes, collected by the County Auditor, and the County
Auditor forwards the money collected to the Township and the Township
pays the respective departments. Winsted now has a Fire Board made
up of one elected official from each municipality served and one
appointed member from each municipality. The appointed members
have voting power, the elected officials act as advisors. This Fire
Board determines the unit rate by how much the operating expense was
for the preceding year.
Bill Radzwill, Township Attorney, met with the Town Board to
discuss the road changes contemplated by the City of Albertville.
The City of Albertville has purchased the land in Coot lot 10, Sec-
tion 36, Range 24, and intends to build a Sewage Disposal Plant on
the land. They have expressed an intention to vacate the Township
Road on the North side of I-94 in the City of Albertville. The
City has indicated they would build a new road along the East and
South side of the land they purchased. The other alternative would
be to extend MacIver Avenue along the Section tine between Section
36, Range 24, and Section 31, Range 23. This road would connect with
County Road #37.
