6. Business Items
A. Treasurer's Report - Ann Burton provided maps showing a tax deeded parcel that will be split up with the construction of the Hwy 12 bypass. It will end up leaving 3 small remnants owned by the County in the Town of Delton, one in paticular along the existing Hwy 12 would be very small and it would make sense to have the DOT take this piece with the other parts that they need.
