UNFINISHED BUSINESS

1.      MM Fran Penterman - ATV Track – Mr Penterman questioned the detail of the Clerk’s minutes from previous meetings.   The Clerk is responsible for recording the substance of every official action taken by the board, not a detailed description of everything that transpires at a meeting. The Pentermans remain upset with a decision made against the track at the county level, but presented no new evidence in the matter.  They plan to appeal the decision in the courts. 

2.      Fire Department Sections Coverage – Fire Chief Tom Marini lettered the Sheriff’s Department to add Saxeville land sections 22 and 27 to the Saxeville/Springwater coverage area; both Poy Sippi and Saxeville/Springwater Fire Departments will protect both sections.  PSFD remains the contracted department.

3.      Roads – Chairman Petersen and Supervisor Timm have repaired potholes.  Signs were ordered for Iowa Court, 28th and Sunny Hill Road. Downed trees on Twin Lake Road and 29th were cleaned up.  Brian Glatz may be called for emergency roadwork. Chairman Petersen will check on brushing needed in The Ding area. The Lakes Association put up nice looking, informational signs at the lake access.

4.      Town Hall Rentals – Plays presented by the Saxeville Players and the children’s group will use the hall on August 10, 11, 12, 25 and 26. 

5.      There was no other unfinished business.

NEW BUSINESS

1.      Dittmann Land Division – After discussion, it was motioned by Supervisor Lind and seconded by Supervisor Timm to approve Donald Dittmann’s land division for two separate lots on 31st Road.

      Voice vote, all in favor, motion carried.

2.      Assessor Contract 2008 – Chairman Petersen read a letter from John Blader who was applying for the 2008 assessor contract.  Motioned by Supervisor Timm, seconded by Supervisor Lind to hire John Blader as the assessor for 2008 for $6,000.00.  Voice vote, all in favor, motion carried.

3.      Christ Property – The agreement with the Town of Saxeville for the well on the property needs to be approved every time there is a property transfer. This eliminates drilling a new well each time there is a sale.  The property is currently for sale.

4.      Complaints:
      a. ATV Noise at Cty Rd TT and S Long Lake Road - There was a heated discussion on this matter.  Both sides of the argument apologized and seemed to want to work on a compromise. The WI Towns Association will provide a model ATV ordinance to assist the board in formulating a plan.

      b. Dr Lulloff, representing the Long Lake Association, reported about the trespassing at the public access, due to the low water level. He asked the board to consider extending the current fence line. The board will check into this.

      c. Public access on S Long Lake Road – After discussion, it was motioned by Supervisor Lind, seconded by Supervisor Timm to get that area surveyed and corner-staked by Mark Carlovsky for public usage.  Voice vote, all in favor, motion carried.

5.      LOSA – The board received a report that contract values were up to $50,000.00 for the Saxeville/Springwater Fire Department’s Length of Service Award Program. The Poy Sippi Fire Department plans to enter that program very soon. 

6.      There was no other new business.
The bills were presented for payment and the Clerk was instructed to pay them.
The next meeting was set for Monday, August 20, 8 PM at the town hall.

Respectfully submitted,

Virginia Cartwright, Town Clerk
