TOWN OF ANGELICA NEWSLETTER ~
MARCH OF 2007
TOWN WEBSITE: We apologize that the town website has not
been kept up to date for the past several months. The agency hosting the website at no charge to the town was no longer
able to provide this service and we were unable to update the website. Also, there have been some delays in
obtaining a new host for the site. The
website should again be up and running within the next week. The new website address is “townofangelicawi.com”. We welcome any suggestions as to information
you would like to see on the website or suggestions in regard to changes. You can also contact the Town of Angelica
Clerk via e-mail at the following address:

OPEN BURNING: It is illegal to burn
wet combustible rubbish, garbage, oily substances, asphalt, plastic, tires,
rubber or treated or painted wood. It
is also illegal to burn paper and cardboard that are to be recycled. It is legal to burn dry grass,
leaves, brush and non-recyclable paper and cardboard products and clean,
untreated wood on the property on which they’re generated. Before burning, please obtain a copy
of the Town of Angelica’s policy on open burning. It is available on the town’s website or by

by the town for fire protection and/or alarm responses up to a maximum amount
of $500.00 per call or response and that passer bys with cell phones could call
the fire department when they see smoke or fire. It is important that the fire department and the Shawano

IS YOUR 911 ADDRESS/EMERGENCY NUMBER IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE COUNTY ORDINANCE? How would you answer these questions........If my house was on fire, could the Pulaski Tri-County Fire Department find my house number? If I call 911 for rescue services or the police, will they be able to locate my house quickly because my 911 number is next to my driveway or can be seen from the road? The purpose of placement of 9ll numbers in a consistent manner is to provide emergency vehicles with the ability to quickly determine where they can find the requestor for their services in the case of an emergency. Shawano County Ordinance No. 1-95 states the two places a 911 Property Number can be properly displayed are on the post used by the town within ten feet of your driveway or on the front entrance to your residence provided it is within 60 feet from the roadway and the number is visible from the road. The numbers provided by the town are NOT to be put on mail boxes. If you are in need of new 911 number tiles and/or a post, please contact Town of Angelica Supervisor, Cliff Powers, at 920-822-5554 and a new one will be provided. The cost of installing the numbers and post is $25.00.
USE OF GARBAGE STICKERS: Please be reminded that garbage stickers are not to be placed on lids of garbage cans or directly on the garbage can. When using garbage cans, place a sticker on one of the garbage articles in the can that can be easily seen by the garbage pickup person.
PAYMENT OF SECOND INSTALLMENT OF TAXES: Please
note that the second installment of taxes due July 31, 2007 are not
to be paid to the Town Treasurer but are to be paid to the Shawano County
