The New Scandia Town Board meeting was called to order by Chairman Dennis Seefeldt.
The following board members were also present: Vice Chairman Paul Rasmussen, Kevin
Nickelson, Mike Hinz and John Martineau.
213TH STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY
ti Thomas and Joanne Benick made a request to vacate the township easement along 213tn
Street. A public hearing would be required to vacate the easement. The Benick's fence
was moved on the west portion of the easement, but not the east part. NSP has buried
cable in the right-of-way and the township has asked NSP to halt work. The easement
was viewed on site by Paul Rasmussen, Dave Hebert and the Benicks. It was determined
that the best access to Highway 97 was the current access and that the road bed should be
built up to give a better sight line for entering Highway 97. Another site meeting was
scheduled for Thursday, November 9, at 1:30 p.m. with the Hansens and Benicks.
STRIPINGON OAKHILL ROAD
The County has proposed a less expensive fix for the solid striping on Oakhill Road north
of Highway 97. Blasting or grinding off the paint would remove the seal coat put on there
this year. Therefore, the town board consented to wait until next summer when the
County will seal coat over and repaint the stripe where it should be a dotted line for
passing.

animal control expenses incurred by Sherrill Reid and paid by Mr. Buege. Paul
Rasmussen seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously.

Paul Rasmussen made a motion to increase the Treasurer/Deputy Clerk's salary by
$2.00 per hour retroactive to August 15, 2000 to present, or whenever the Clerk
returns to her position full-time. Kevin Nickelson seconded the motion and the
motion passed unanimously.
