OLD & NEW BUSINESS:
A. Discuss/revise insurance coverage - Motion Meyer/Salzman to revise the Town’s insurance policy effective immediately with deductible increase to $2,500 and coverage values increased per Rural Insurance quote of June 22. The annual premium will increase by about $800 to $12,713. This includes revised coverage values for Sanitary District 1 as well as for the Town, but coverage values for Sanitary District 2 are still under discussion and remain the same for the present. Motion carried.
B. Glen Flora status – Work is underway. A large change order will be required because of the need to dig down 12’ instead of 3’ as originally planned. Fill from Jacques’ nearby bean field will be needed and he will be reimbursed for his crop loss at a rate yet to be determined. Other change orders have been small in effect.
C. Cedar Terrace project status – Work to begin soon.
D. Guardrail at The Cedars – The property owner has requested that a piece of guard rail which serves no purpose be removed to facilitate lawn mowing. Large rocks placed in the right of way by the property owner to prevent parking on the lawn may cause problems with snow removal. The board will meet on site with the property owner to look over the situation.
E. Guardrail S. Cedar Lake Rd – Funding may be available from the state for installing a guardrail to improve safety on the west side of S. Cedar Lake Rd. (about ¾ mile south of Cedar Lake) where the land drops off very steeply, as recommended by the county sheriff. A guard rail may potentially cause problems with snow removal and with farm equipment which takes up the entire width of the road; also guardrail may be expensive to maintain. The Board will make a list and prioritize other places in the Town which may be as bad. Motion Meyer/Glomski to go ahead with the application for funding which is due by the end of July; motion carried.
INFORMATION ITEMS/MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS:
A. Only two landowners (Koenigs and Neumeyer) have not yet paid anything on the Glen Flora project.
B. Two sheriff’s patrol in June wrote 8 tickets and 5 tickets respectively. The tickets can’t yet be processed through the Town’s court, per Manitowoc County Corp. Counsel.
C. On next month’s agenda will be the adoption of an ordinance officially sanctioning all speed zones.
D. Town Assessor Mike Denor reports that work has started on the revaluation. He is now setting up statistical models and will soon begin going through homes starting in Sec. 1. He’ll do the lake areas starting next May and into the early summer. He hopes to get possibly 1/3 done in 2009. Next Board of Review will tentatively be held in August, 2010.
E. Chairman Salzman is compiling a list of our five top priority community development projects for Bay-Lakes Regional Planning Commission, starting with Millhome Dam, Meggers Rd, Fish & Game Rd and other road projects.
F. Salt delivery will be taken in September.
G. Supervisor Meyer reports that the Town’s Smart Growth plan is substantially complete. The complete plan will soon be available for review by the public, and public input will be received at an open house/public hearing on Aug. 27. (See www.townofschleswig.com for details and current status!)
Motion Meyer/Salzman to adjourn; motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:25 PM.
