Call to order: by President, Rick Osowski

Pledge of Allegiance:

Roll Call: Rick Osowski, Arnie Kaminski, Larry Kielblock, Richard Mansavage and Don Kontney (absent: Travis Firkus)

Also Present: Bob Kurszewski, Norma Anderson, Jill Kumenius, Nancy Osowski, Julie Firkus and Betty Williams

PUBLIC REQUESTS FOR CONSIDERATION:

Norma Anderson asked about removal of the unlicensed vehicles. Richard Mansavage has talked with the property owners who assured them they would be removed. He will follow-up with the owners.

Bob Kurszewski shared a request from Central Wisconsin Electric Coop to dispose of their waste water from their vehicle wash bay. We already accept water from the Stop-N-Wash so it's feasible. CWEC will be sent a letter stating the board will take action on their request at the February 14, 2011 board meeting.

Bob also stated oil filters can no longer be put in the garbage, they must be recycled. The Portage County Material Recovery Facility will accept them for a charge of $.25 per filter. Bob uses about 15 filters per year. Oil dry is also part of the equation. Don Kontney said he was told less than 5 gallons can be scattered in the forest per the DNR.
No action.

Larry Kielblock  said some residents are concerned about snow mobiles riding on the sidewalks. No Action.

Minutes:
Motion: Kielblock/Kaminski to approve the minutes as read. All in favor; none opposed; motion carried.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

Electronic Recycling 
A new mandate requires all electronics to be recycled instead of placed in the garbage. The Portage County Material Recovery Facility (MRF) charges $.35 per pound. The Village may consider offering a bi-annual collection service, but would like more information before making that decision. If the service is offered by the municipality, they would need to purchase a scale.
Motion: Kaminski/Kielblock to postpone action until we can obtain more information. All in favor; none opposed; motion carried.

Toys for Tots donation:
The Central Wisconsin Electric Coop volunteers community service to manage our Christmas decorations and banners each year. They suggested the Village consider a donation to the Toys for Tots program as a gesture of appreciation for this service.
Motion: Kielblock/Kontney to make an annual donation of $250.00 to the Toys for Tots program as long as Central Wisconsin Electric Coop continues to perform the decoration and banner service. All in favor; none opposed; motion carried.

NEW BUSINESS:

Operator's (Bartender) License for Michael Matysik
The application and criminal background report were reviewed.
Motion: Kaminski/Kielblock to approve and Operator's (Bartender) license for Michael Matysik. Roll call vote; all in favor; none opposed; motion carried.

Well for Maintenance Shop
Maintenance Bob states the water pump at the Maintenance shop is loud. There is a shallow well in the basement and perhaps we should consider a new well w which would cost approximately $5,000.00.
The board did not like the idea of a new well and said if the pump quits working, it will have to be replaced and authorized Maintenance Bob to purchase a new pump when necessary. No action.

Sewer Gas Meter:
Maintenance Bob quoted two prices to purchase a new meter as follows:

Infratech Technologies:    $500.00
Farrell Equipment        $545.00

It was noted the Fire District just purchased a gas meter.
Motion: Kaminski/Kielblock to postpone action and obtain a price from the Fire District. All in favor; none opposed; motion carried.

COMMITTEE REPORTS: None

ROUTINE BUSINESS:

Payment of Bills:
Motion: Mansavage/Kaminski to pay all bills as read. All in favor; none opposed; motion carried.
Notice of Meeting & educational opportunities: None
