PLEASE BE ADVISED OF THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the Board:

          No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone or contest the amount of assessment unless, at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed because the person has been granted a waiver of the 48-hour notice of an intent to file a written objection by appearing before the Board during the first two hours of the meeting and showing good cause for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and files a written objection, that the person provides to the Clerk of the Board of Review notice as to whether the person will ask for removal of any Board members and, if so, which member will be removed and the person’s reasonable estimate of the length of time that the hearing will take.

          When appearing before the Board, the person shall specify, in writing the person’s estimate of the value of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person’s objection and specify the information that the person used to arrive at that estimate.

          No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone or object to a valuation, if that valuation was made by the Assessor or the Objector using the income method, unless the person supplies the Assessor all of the information about income and expenses, as specified in the manual under Section 73.03(2a), that the Assessor requests.  The Town of Wolf River maintains the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the Assessor under this paragraph which provides exemptions for persons using information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or of the duties of their office or by order of a court.  The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under Section 19.35(l) of Wis. Statutes.

The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, surgeon, or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability.  No other persons may testify by telephone.

Recycling guidelines

Written by

The Town of Wolf River requires its residents to recycle.  Recently, a number of residents have become more careless when it comes to recycling and we need to redouble our efforts to get back on track when it comes to recycling to keep unnecessary items from going into our landfills.  The following is a list of items you should be recycling:

Plastics:  All food, beverage & household bottles, jars, and jugs.  Dairy containers and lids. Deli, bakery & produce containers and lids.   (NOT plastic wrap, plastic bags, Styrofoam, motor oil)

Metal:  Aluminum bottles & cans, steel, tin & bi-metal cans, beer & soda cans. (NOT aluminum pans or foil, empty paint cans or large/bulky scrap metal items)

Paper:  Newspaper & inserts, cardboard & paperboard (cereal box and the like), junk mail & catalogs, office & school paper, milk, juice, and soup cartons, phone books, magazines, & books.  (NOT paper contaminated with food or grease, tissue paper, gift wrap)

Glass:  Food & beverage bottles and jars, wine bottles, liquor bottles. (NOT window glass, ceramics, china or drinking glasses).

It is NO LONGER NECESSARY to separate these items as they will be separated at the recycling facility automatically.  You may place all items in a 30-50 gallon garbage can – remember that a real person has to lift this can so do not overfill it!

Items like tires, TV’s, bikes, computers and computer components, cell phones, microwaves, furniture, lawn chairs, washer, dryers, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, propane tanks are NOT ALLOWED to be recycled curbside.  These items must be recycled at the Winnebago County Waste Collection facility at the Sunnyview Transfer Station in Oshkosh.

For more information visit us at: www.WinnebagoCountySolidWaste.com or call 920.232.1850  or 920.727.2896.

***** If you have questions about the amount or size of your garbage please call Grachien in advance of pickup day at 920-982-4116.  If the amount of your garbage regularly exceeds the allowed amount (2 yards), you would fall under the commercial garbage amount and will need to make arrangements to have a container dropped at your site at your own cost for garbage pickup.

Thank you for being part of the solution and not part of the problem!!

Written by
