County, town gird for fight over Saukville quarry land PDF Print E-mail

Legal conflict looms despite what county official calls generous peace offering


    In an effort to defuse a looming legal battle with the Town of Saukville, County Board Chairman Robert Brooks has offered to discuss concessions that include donating land to the town and paving its roads in exchange for the ability to expand the county’s gravel mining operation in the town without a fight, he said Tuesday.


    But his offers, Brooks said, have been flatly rejected by Town Chairman Barbara Jobs, signaling a return to a bygone era of acrimony between the county and town.

    On Tuesday, the Town Board met in closed session to apparently discuss agreements it reached years ago with the county and former town quarry operator Payne & Dolan  — agreements that formed the basis for a detente that has allowed the unfettered operation of the county’s quarry and asphalt plant operation.

    “We’re meeting to discuss the agreements and that’s all I’m going to say,” Jobs said Tuesday.
