Public Requests for Consideration:
-Resident JoAnn Burk voiced concerns about the snow and ice covered sidewalk at 206 Randolph St W. School is in session, a complaint was placed on Thursday January 4, 2007 and it is still not done.

Response: Cindy Gemza, chair of the Public Health & Safety committee states that during the interim of hiring someone to complete this task, she failed to recognize her responsibility as the chair of the safety committee to direct maintenance to tend to sidewalks of this nature. It will be done before school starts tomorrow.

-Resident Debbie Peplinski voiced concerns about snow removal on the streets. She gave every trustee a copy of the letter she had previously sent to the street committee. Response to this letter will be considered.

Motion: Gemza/Osowski to approve the minutes as read. All in favor. Carried.

New Business:
Threshermen: Kenny Johnson requests permission on behalf of the Threshermen to use Main Street and the Village Hall for their 2nd Annual Tractor Pull on September 29, 2007.
They plan to implement more safety precautions
Motion: Gemza/Kaminski to approve the Threshermen’s request to use Main Street and the Village Hall for their 2nd Annual Tractor Pull. All in favor. Carried.
Old Business:

Hire General Laborer: Attorney Formella advised that it is the Village Boar’s discretion if they want to perform a background and health check on individuals before they are hired. The general consensus of the Board is that these checks are not necessary and they announce they have chosen to hire Kenny Johnson.

Tools and Equipment: Tabled upon direction of the Equipment Planning & Purchasing committee chair.

Humane Society: Tabled until February, the enforcement agent is sick.

Fire Pump Usage: Statistics and advice from Earth Tech were reviewed. Items such as set up fees, electrical costs, wear and tear on the pump and water usages were discussed.
Motion: Kaminski/Osowski to charge a $100.00 (one hundred dollar) fee plus $.50 (fifty cents) per every 1,000 (one thousand) gallons of water used. All in favor. Carried.

Resolution for Antigo Rendering: There is no action on a Resolution at this time. Antigo Rendering requires previous interrogatories to be answered first. Attorney Formella will proceed. 

New Business:

Motorcycle Stunt Show: Tabled until February, the requestor was unable to attend.

Steel Siding Proposal:  Tabled for additional price quotes on siding and tuck pointing.

Alcohol Beverage Licensing: Gordy Krogwold of the Stop-N-Go Food Mart and Doug Schwantes of The Store #79 have both applied for “Class A” License to sell alcohol at their establishments. The applicants were noticed in the Stevens Point Journal and there were no public objections.
Motion: Gemza/Williams to approve “Class A” licenses to Gordy Krogwold of Stop-n-Go Food Mart and Doug Schwantes of The Store #79. All in favor. Carried.

Operator’s License: The Clerk stated the individual applying for an operator’s license had a felony conviction as well as several arrest records which could be considered as a “habitual law offender” Page 5 of the Municipal Licensing and Regulation of Alcohol Beverages publication was reviewed by the Trustees. At this time, the individual (Arnold Eygabroad) stoop up and stated he is the individual applying for the license. He said all of these arrests were at a time when he was drinking. Since he is no longer drinking, he would really appreciate approval of the license. Doug Schwantes of The Store #79 says if the Sheriff’s Department deems it necessary, they will revoke an operator’s license.
Motion: Gemza/Williams to approve the operator’s license for Arnold Eygabroad. All in favor. Carried.

National EMS Billing: This is a company that will process Fire Call Invoices. They process claims for State Highway 66 accidents and claims for folks that have Badger Care Insurance. At the February meeting we should have information on the cost and rather municipalities must sign up as a joint unit or if they can sign on individually.

Special Parking Permit: requested by Kathy Kawleski, the band director at Rosholt High School. LeRoy Miller said Kathy does not haul band equipment on a regular basis. She is at school after hours when it is dark and probably wants to park there for safety issues. This special parking privilege has been mentioned among the faculty. No action at this time, President Hodge will talk to Kawleski and look in the minutes for information.

Committee Reports:

Public Health & Safety: Gemza suggests the Village make a formal complaint to Mark Maslowski, the Portage County Executive, regarding the ambulance agreement. It appears that proposed ideas are not structured financially beneficial or EMS wise. The Rapid Response unit is already considered a statistic failure. Gemza will work with Kate Zdroik to develop a letter to present to Maslowski.

Motion: Gemza/Garski to pay the bills as presented. All in favor. Carried.

Board Comments:

Kaminski asked for information regarding an accident by Maintenance Bob with the Snow plow at 297 Mason Street (Brad Kosmalski). The clerk states she had knowledge that an accident occurred and Maintenance Bob was processing the Insurance Claim.
Kaminski wanted to discuss it further and Hodge noted there is a provision in State Stats to discuss employee performance in Closed Session. Kaminski called for a Closed Session to discuss the accident and other performance concerns. A closed session will be held on Wednesday January 10, 2007 @ 7:00 p.m. at the Village Office.

Motion to adjourn:  Kaminski/Osowski. All in favor. Carried.

Adjournment:  8:45 p.m.
