**David Hansen will prepare a task order and get started on it right away.
The other factor for stimulus funds is the presence of a “major collector” street. None of our streets meet the requirements to be a “major collector” so once again, we do not qualify for stimulus funds.
Upon our request, the
Questions were asked regarding details of funding such as utilizing the Local Road Improvement Project (LRIP) funds toward engineering the bridges.
No action will be taken on the item to allow Hansen to gather further information.
Hansen will also prepare a letter to submit to Congressman David Obey asking for help in locating funding resources due to our increased debt ratio.
Wastewater Stimulus funds: Hansen explained any application requesting stimulus funds for wastewater projects must be submitted by June 30, 2009 so if we have any wastewater needs, they must be decided and acted upon immediately to allow time for AECom to prepare the application.

Rutta explained the laws regarding rights to easements as obtained through the Village Attorney and the North Central Wisconsin Region Plan Commission.
Public land does not automatically mean public access. The Village is not required to grant an easement to landlocked property, however, an easement may be granted through the deeding process.
