Call to order: by President, Kelly Hodge

Pledge of Allegiance

Roll Call: Cindy Gemza, Joy Garski, Betty Williams, Kelly Hodge and Rick Osowski.
Arnie Kaminski (excused absence)

Also Present: Ron Pliska, Gordy Krogwold, Chain Williams, Roy Simonis, Mike Hodge, Barb Mlodik, Norma Anderson, Jill Kumenius, Helen Pliska, Nancy Osowski, Lee Miller, Sadie Nicolas, Ronnie Rekowski, Jeff Kropp (Accountant) and Brian Formella (Attorney)

Resident Concerns: Norma Anderson voiced the concerns of residents on First Street about the traffic detour. She states there are 12 children West of the hill and would like the Village to install temporary 15 mph speed limit signs.
The clerk will contact the Sheriff’s department to confirm the possibility of satisfying this request.
Motion: Gemza/Garski to install a temporary 15 mph speed limit on First street if possible. All in favor. Carried.

Accountant: Jeff Kropp gave an overview of the 2005 Audit Report. Excess revenues and expenditures were due to the Feed Mill Site Assessment and contamination issues. All other aspects of the budget were on target.
For the upcoming Highway 66 project and the comprehensive plan, Jeff suggests we consider a long term debt. It is not feasible to try to pay for these expenses by using the general fund operating expenses. We are allowed to borrow 5% of our equalized value. A $100,000.00 loan for a 10 year term at 7% is a debt payment of about $14,200.00 per year. Current law allows an increase in the tax levy to pay the debt payment. He suggests we consider borrowing the funds this year to avoid a rate increase. No further action at this time.

Attorney Brian Formella: Brian introduces himself and gave an overview of his professional background. He has a high degree of respect for Municipal officials and expressed that his Legal council would be for the entire board. He is very cautious about conflict of interest.  He has various methods of communication including, phone calls or written e-mail to the entire board. There are two other municipal attorneys in his firm so the Village would always have someone available to them. He has some experience in drafting ordinances.
The board requested a written proposal and a list of references to review at the next board meeting.
Cell Tower: CelCom has contacted the Village for consideration of installing a cell tower on Village Land. No other details are available at this time.

New Century Communications: ask for permission to install two more receiver dishes in order to expand there services to the community.
Motion: Gemza/ Osowski to approve installation of additional equipment. All in favor. Carried.

Election Equipment & Voter Registration was explained by the Clerk.  The State is providing one handicapped accessible voting machine for each polling place in Wisconsin which should be available for use at the September Election.
At the end of June, the clerk will be attending 4 days of class to learn how to use and implement the Statewide Voter Registration System.
Motion: Garski/Williams to approve the Resolution for Statewide Voter Registration System (SVRS) and Help America Vote Act (HAVA). All in favor. Carried.

Several pages were read aloud regarding the enforcement process for this ordinance. The roles of the Village Board, Committees and Building Inspector, etc. were discussed.

Gordy Krogwold has also requested 3,000 cubic yard of fill.
Due to the lack of information, price quotes and permits, the board agreed to allow the fill to be used by Gordy.
Motion: Gemza/Osowski to have the Clerk create a letter which allows Gordy to temporarily store the fill on his land in the Village until October 31st providing he comply with all D.O.T & D.N.R. regulations . All in favor. Carried.

Highway 66:
