2f. North East Community Court Report: Supervisor Linzmeier provided the Board with some information that she gleaned at the NECC meeting the previous evening. She said that the Town of Burke is going to terminate its current deputy sheriff contract, and instead look into contracting directly with Dane County for deputy time on an as-needed basis – which will mostly be focused on traffic enforcement. All the municipalities currently in the court have expressed interest in staying in it. The cost of the court to Blooming Grove will likely increase somewhat, but they will be able to provide better numbers after their next meeting (September 25).

Respectfully Submitted by Mike Wolf, Clerk/Treasurer/Administrator.
