** Joe Omernik thanked R.A.C.A. and stated they were contacting other clubs for donations this year as their regular fund raisers were not as profitable. He also stated the annual Easter Egg Hunt will now be sponsored by R.A.C.A.

Vierbicher Associates: Pete Harris explained that Dale Bates resigned from Vierbicher to operate as an independent. Dan Hanson will now be our Building Inspector/Zoning Administrator.
He also introduced a Zoning Proposal for a Needs Assessment for a cost of $4,665.00. This needs assessment would be the first step of what may need 2 or 3 more steps to complete a new zoning package. This type of rezoning organization can cost between $10,000.00 and $35,000.00.
-Can it be billed hourly instead of the $4,665.00?
-Yes, at $60.00 to $100.00 per hour so the lump sum is a better deal.

The clerk gave an overview on the types of zoning and building permit issues folks ask about.

The North Central Regional Planning Commission and the Portage County Zoning Commission will be reviewed as sources of help to be interviewed at meeting dates set in the future.
(Old Business): Truck Purchase: Maintenance Bob presented pictures and a price of $35,000.00 for a used truck from Mid State Truck Service.

He then presented a price from McCune Auto Body in the amount of $2,087.09.

The Clerk gave an overview of how a truck purchase could be billed to the residents either as a special assessment or through the mill rate.

The general consensus of the board is to delay action on this topic until this Fall, after Highway 66 is complete and they have had an opportunity to meet with the Village Accountant.

(New): CMAR: Maintenance Bob presented the report and explained the low grade for the Collection System was due to the lift station failures earlier in the year because of inadequate fuses. This problem has been solved by installing different fuses. All other sections of the report received an A grade with an overall grade of 3.67% which does not require a Resolution.

New Business:

North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission-Dennis Lawrence presented an overview of the Commissions’ establishment, regulation and services they provide.
The Village can become a member by submitting a Resolution and paying an annual fee of approximately $350.00 based on equalized value.

The need for a Comprehensive Plan and for updating the Zoning, Building & Uniform Dwelling Code Ordinances was discussed. The task to complete this job would take approximately 2 years. The comprehensive plan would cost $10,000.00 and the Zoning between $3,000.00 – 5,000.00. The Village Zoning Plan Commission, the Village Board and possibly an ADHOC would be attending monthly meetings with the NCWRPC.
Motion: Kaminski/Gemza to adopt the Resolution for Membership to the NCWRPC and hire them for the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Organization. All in favor. Carried.

Old Business:

Sewer Lateral-School District
The School District is entertaining the possibility of building a concession stand and bathroom facility at the site of the softball field. This project may not be implemented for another 5-10 years.
~ The price to install a Sewer lateral at Highway 66 running North about 4 feet into the School District property is $3,690.00.
Camlek states he realizes finances are tight for everyone, yet he is submitting a request for the Village to consider paying a portion of $1,000.00-2,000.00 towards this project.
~A resident asked if the other municipalities in the School District would be receiving the same request for funding.
Answer: That has not been considered at this time.

Motion: Kaminski/Williams to deny Village funding for the lateral, but to allow the School District to install the culvert if they choose to pursue the project. All in favor. Carried.
Fire Bell Enhancement Motion: Gemza/Garski to accept the Bid Proposal from Egle Landscaping Inc. in the amount of $5,228.00. All in favor. Carried.

Street Maintenance: The Board was informed that Fahrner will not perform the Seal Coat in September as they requested. The Roads to be worked on will only be shut down for an hour at a time as they work through the Village, allowing options for traffic flow.
Motion: Osowski/Gemza to accept the Bid Proposal and to give Fahrner the permission to perform the work at any time. All in favor. Carried.

Discussion:

Village Attorney: The manner in which the Rosholt Animal Foods was processed and the fact that Molepske has not provided the Village or it’s auditor will billing statements for the past two years generated a discussion on the need to consider hiring a different Village Attorney. The auditor provided a reference if the Board wishes to pursue this situation. No action at this time.
