4. (This section of this meeting was tape-recorded by Ruth Penterman.) Penterman ATV Track – Although this was not listed as an agenda item, Fran and Ruth Penterman were present to discuss the ATV Track permit application. Pentermans had attended the April Board meeting. At that time the Board stated no opinion on the track application, but was looking for more information to be brought to the May 21 meeting. Board members received many phone calls from Penterman’s surrounding neighbors before the county meeting, expressing disapproval of the track. The conditional use permit that was filed and considered by the Waushara County Planning and Zoning Committee was denied by that committee at their regular meeting held on May 17, 2007. Town Board members did not, as was implied at the Board meeting on May 21, meet at the local restaurant to discuss and make their decision on the track application. Rather, they expressed their individual feelings on the track at the county meeting on May 17. MM Penterman are upset with the denial of the permit and wish to the on the agenda for every Town Board meeting.
5. Saxeville/Springwater Fire Department Sections Coverage – Tim Jenks was present to discuss the coverage of sections 22 & 27. It had been a “shared” area for PSFD and SSFD, but is currently a mutual aid area. It most probably is not listed correctly at the county dispatch office. Both chiefs Tom Marini and Tim Jenks will be asked to attend the June Town Board meeting to discuss the matter.
6. Bay Lake Bank Business Proposal – Treasurer Seefelt met with Bay Lake Bank officers to discuss the possibility of moving the town accounts back to Bay Lake. There are many charges or fees for most transactions at Bay Lake versus very minimal charges at 1st National Bank. The Board decided to stat at 1st National Bank.
