Minutes of the meeting of September 15, 2025
A regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors for Alexandria Township was held on the 15th day of September 2025 at the Alexandria Township Conference Room, 324 Broadway and via teleconferencing.
ROLL CALL: Supervisors present were Jeff Oberg, Joel Dahlheimer, Rod Eldevik, and Dennis Butz. Also present were Mark Meuwissen, Clerk, and Bryon Alstead, Treasurer. As said members formed a quorum, the meeting was called to order by Chairman Eldevik at 6:00 p.m.
Oberg, seconded by Dahlheimer, made a motion to adopt the agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
Oberg, seconded by Dahlheimer, made a motion to approve the minutes of the 9/3/2025 regular board meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
Dahlheimer, seconded by Butz, made a motion to authorize payment of claims 25171 – 25177 in the amount of $22,760.13 and a transfer of funds from savings of $23,000. Motion carried unanimously.
CITIZEN’S CONCERNS: John Sieve, 3410 Island Drive NE, was present to discuss modifications to his current home. Sieve suggested the modifications were minimal, impervious surface would be decreased in total, and there was not a significant increase in living space. Zoning Administrator Oleson stated the current structure is not in compliance with setback rules by a small amount on one corner. Oleson also stated the impervious surface percentage was above the ordinance limit of 25%. Supervisor Oberg suggested the ordinance requires an approved variance to modify a structure that is not currently in compliance with zoning requirements. The Board was in consensus that the proposed modification would require a variance.
To facilitate a shorter delay in construction, Oberg, seconded by Butz, made a motion to expedite the variance request by placing it on the 1st Board Meeting in October. Motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING AND ZONING: Oleson reported he had received a request to approve a dock layout plan submitted by Broken Arrow Association. A diagram of the proposed layout was reviewed by the Board. Board consensus was that the proposed layout did not meet the conditions included with the original conditional use permit and that the Broken Arrow Association would need to request a new CUP to make the proposed changes or design the docks consistent with the original conditions.
ENGINEER’S REPORT: None
OLD BUSINESS: None
NEW BUSINESS: Clerk Meuwissen advised the Board that the $1,000,000 1-year CD had matured and needed to be renewed. After discussion of the volatility of longer-term interest rates, Board consensus was that Clerk Meuwissen has authority to make decisions on the maturity length of the new certificates of deposit and negotiate the best possible terms.
Being no further business, Dahlheimer, seconded by Butz, made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Meeting adjourned at 7:08 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
