The following questions and answers target Electors in the Town of Hortonia.
Outagamie County - !! CLICK HERE !! re: Jury Duty, Deeds, POWTS/septic systems, Licenses, etc.
Absentee Voting information - !! CLICK HERE !!
Who are Hortonia's Elected Officials?
Is that it? Do they make up the "Board"?
Board of Appeals (made up of residents - 5 appointed members).
Wait! What about the "Town Board"?!
The "Town Board" = the Board of Supervisors which usually meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at the Town Hall along with the Treasurer and Clerk. Strictly speaking, the "Town Board" does not include the Treasurer, Clerk or Constable because they DO NOT VOTE. Only the Supervisors vote on Town issues. But, when the "Town Board" meets, the Clerk must be there to take minutes and the Treasurer must submit a monthly report. So, when there's a Town Board meeting, you can expect a quorum of supervisors (2 or more) to attend along with the Clerk and Treasurer.
What other committees, groups and individuals are employed or affiliated with the Town?
How do residents know when and where there's a meeting?
By law §19.84(3) a notice of every meeting must be posted. Notices are posted on this web site, on the Clerk's page. They are also posted, by law §985.02(2), in three other places. Every April the residents (electors) who live in the Township have an annual Town Meeting ( §60.10 - §60.16 ) and they recommend to the Board of Supervisors where they would like notices posted - currently: Town Hall front door, Fire Hall East (3) side doors, and, Modern Flooring. They are located, respectively, at: W9702 Givens Rd Hortonville (779-9780), 700 West Nye Street (County Rd TT) Hortonville, and N2750 County Rd T New London (982-4950).
What's the difference between Town and Township?
The Township is the physical/geographical boundary of the land that makes up Hortonia. The Town is the governing body. So, the Town of Hortonia refers to its people (typically its elected officials) and the Township of Hortonia refers to the parcels of land.
Can you give me a synopsis of the rest of the Boards, Commissions, etc?
The Board of Review meets once per year to hear objections from residents about the assessed value of their property. !!
