25.303-Motion Clark/Second Keatley to appoint Tim Heiderscheit to Civil Service Commission for a term of 6 years. Motion carried.
Supervisor Byrnes reviewed the flagpole that was in front of the courthouse that fell over earlier this year and has not been replaced, as well as his conversation with Veterans at that time and the viewpoint of those present at that time that it did not need to be replaced. When the issue was discussed at prior meetings, there was no opposition to not replacing the flagpole and flag. Since then there has been other public who have come forward wanting the flagpole replaced, which is why it is on the agenda today. Supervisor Clark reviewed catalog prices of 25-35’ flag poles without installation in the $5-10,000; LaCrosse Sign Co quoted around $16,000 for a flagpole, not including installation. Those in attendance discussed the history of the flagpole at the courthouse; feelings that the courthouse should have its own flag aside from those at the other monuments on the courthouse property; insurance coverage; the reason the hole from the fallen flagpole has been concreted over to get rid of the tripping hazard. Don Haler spoke about his family’s history serving the country in the military and the meaning of that flag to his family over the years when celebrating Memorial Day; others present expressed agreement that the flag is an important symbol for those who have served our country. Gary Bottorff provided a petition to the Supervisors with 231 signatures from around the county in favor of replacing the flagpole. Supervisors stated they are not against putting a flagpole back up and they are open to getting firm quotes for commercial flagpoles of varying heights and installation expense and will also inquire about insurance coverage for the replacement. Supervisors will consider this expense in the next fiscal year budget cycle.
Department Head Updates: Auditor Beyer gave department update.
25.304-Motion Clark/Second Keatley to adjourn. Motion carried.
