Meetings & Information

1. The next regular Town Board Meeting will be held April 3rd, 2023 at 7:00 pm at the Bloomington Town Hall.  If there is a topic that you would like to discuss with the Board, please contact the Clerk to be put on the Agenda. Agendas must be posted 24 hours before a meeting. The Annual Town Meeting will be held on Tuesday April 18th, 2023 at 7:00 pm at the Bloomington Town Hall.


1 (a) An Advertisement for Gravel, Seal Coat and Crack Seal Bids can be found under the "Notices" tab. This advertisement will also be in the Grant County Herald Independent newspaper 02/23 & 03/02/2023.


2. COMBINATION AND LENGTHY VEHICLES ARE  DISCOURAGED FROM USING NORTH ROAD TO GET TO HWY 35 (Aspen Rd would be the better route-or go straight into Bloomington) OR TO GET TO COUNTY ROAD A (again, North Road to Aspen Rd would be the better route to get to County A).  VEHICLES HAVE BEEN GETTING CAUGHT UP ON THE SHARP TURN AT THE INTERSECTION OF SPRUCE AND NORTH ROADS WHICH COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE OR THE ROAD (WHICH YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ROAD INJURY). 


3. The Town's Building Ordinance has been updated to meet State Codes and County requirements.  You will find the Amendment and the complete Building Ordinance under the "Ordinance" tab.  Please read this ordinance before you build. 


5. PLEASE READ below in the "Township Interests" section the recycling rules. This will help cut down on the Township's cost of having a dump site.


6. FIREWORKS-If you will be setting off fireworks within the Township anytime during the year, you MUST have a Fireworks Permit issued by the Town Chairman per Wis State Statute 167.10(3)(a). Penalties for not obtaining a permit fall under the Grant County  Fireworks Ord

Recycling Dump Site

The Bloomington Township recycling dump site is open on Wednesday afternoons from noon to 4:00 pm, and on Saturdays from 8:00 am to noon. Please remember to sort &recycle your garbage. This Dump site is for the Bloomington Township residents use only. The complete Township Recycling Ordinance can be found under the Ordinance icon.  

The Township of Bloomington's Sanitation Officer is Mike Strutz. Red tags with the words "Bloomington Township Recycling Center" will need to be presented in order to get into the dump.   IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO DUMP YOUR GARBAGE IN ROAD DITCHES AND DOWN ROAD BANKS.  THE FINE FOR DUMPING ALONG ROADWAYS IS $500.00 TO $1,000.00.  IF YOU ARE CAUGHT DOING THIS, THE GRANT COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WILL BE NOTIFIED, AND YOU WILL BE FINED.  Please scroll down this page to "Township Interests" and you will be able to click on the two Recycling Documents for further information on the items that are allowed in the dump area and items that are NOT allowed in the dump area. Thank you for your cooperation.

Looking ahead to the 2023 Elections

Our next elections will be the February Primary (Tuesday Feb. 21st, 2023) and April Spring election (April 4th, 2023).  Since this is an odd numbered year, there are only two elections.  The 2024 election year will have 3-4 elections with Presidential Primary held at the April election, and the Presidential election being held at the November General election.

Before every election, voting machines must be tested twice for accuracy.  The first test is called a pre-lat test where the clerk makes up samples ballots, counts them by hand and records the results.  Then those ballots are fed into the machine and the machine results are compared to the hand counted results.  If there are any discrepancies, they are reported to the voting machine company immediately.  The second test is the Public Test of the machine, where the public is invited to come and watch the test (which is identical to the Pre-Lat test).  Again, hand counted ballot results are compared to the machine tabulation results. The public is encouraged to attend this testing if they have doubts about the accuracy of the tabulator.  Your municipal clerk will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the machine or voting in general.  There is a lot of misleading information out there that is just plain false about the integrity of our elections, if you want to find out whether it is true or false, talk to your municipal clerk!  Your municipal clerk is constantly being trained through webinars, emails from WEC, WTA, the Wisconsin Legislature and our County Clerk on changing election laws.   

                                                 

Township Zoning Laws and Ordinances

1. We were informed by the Grant County Conservation, Sanitation and Zoning Dept that building projects in a Floodplain, Shoreland, and/or Comprehensive Zoning area require a zoning permit.  The Township of Bloomington adopted a Comprehensive Zoning plan back in 2009 by the Comprehensive Zoning Plan Committee, therefore several small areas within the Township are zoned as residential. These areas include land on Mississippi Lane, Walnut Bluff Road, Jays Landing, and Hoffman Lane.

Zoning permits for structures include but not limited to: barns, agricultural buildings, silos, houses, cabins, garages, pole sheds, garden sheds, semi-truck boxes, signs, retaining walls, decks, patios and fences.  Before building, you must contact the Grant County CSZ Department and the Township's building inspector, Brad Smrcina.  Failure to contact these people could delay your building project.  If you have any questions before you start a project, please call the Township Clerk for further information. 



Burning in the Township

Bloomington Township does not have an Ordinance concerning burning, but it is regulated by the Town Board.  Before you start a fire to burn a large pile or area, the Town Board strongly urges you to call and inform our local fire chief, Tom Hoffman of the Bloomington Fire Department and the Grant County Sheriff's Department the location and timing of the  burn. We greatly appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Thank you!
