Kurszewski also notified the board of damage to a Street Light located on Highway 66. Evidence shows the pole was struck. Repairs are needed and submitted as a claim to the property insurance company. Osowski instructed the Street Committee to process the situation.

Motion: Rutta/Kielblock to accept the bid from Bushman Electric in the amount of $1,890.00. All in favor: None opposed: Motion Carried.

Sale of Public Land (Rail road right-of-way)

A letter from Mary Jane Zdroik was opened and read aloud. She did not accept the offer from the Village Board and requested a driving easement instead of the walking easement offered by the Village.

Motion: Rutta/Williams to send Zdroik a copy of the certified survey and the invoices from Point of Beginning with a Statement of Charges for half the cost of the survey as agreed upon by Zdroik at a Closed Session meeting dated December 8, 2008. All in favor: None opposed: Motion carried.

PTO Playground Equipment:

Jackie Buse, president of the PTO (Parent Teacher Organization), presented a report recapping the purchase of new playground equipment to be installed on the school elementary playground. Little Tykes and Play focus companies have both quoted a cost of $35,000.00. The PTO plans to move forward with the purchase, however, their treasury will be depleted. Annually they spend approximately $8,200.00 to support various school activities which must be put on hold until the treasury is re-established and they are asking the Village Board to consider a monetary donation to help jump start that treasury. Wood chips for fall safety will also need to be purchased.

No Action.

Fair Association Fence:

Chris Martin, president of the Fair Association, presented a map and explained where the association would like to replace existing snow fence with chain link. Existing chain link is going to be moved to that location and some additional may need to be purchased. Adjacent homeowners will be notified of the project. They plan to start work on Saturday May 16, 2009 with their main emphasis beginning at the gates.

Motion: Williams/Rutta to approve the fencing starting on the West side of the project and the Fair Board is to keep the Village Board notified of the progress. All in favor: None opposed: Motion carried.

Fair Association Liquor License:

The Association would like to apply for an annual Class B beer & alcohol license for the entire Fair Park premises. They plan to be in charge of all alcohol sales for every event held at the park. They hope to relieve some of the burden this poses to area organizations to obtain a temporary license for every event including individual ball games. They also plan to offer a Bloody Mary or specialty stand.

There was a brief discussion about the quota and availability of alcohol licenses.

Motion: Williams/Kielblock to approve the Fair Associations request to apply for the available license. Rutta-no vote: All others in favor: Motion failed due to lack of majority voting.

** The vote failure has no bearing on the application process; the Fair Association can still apply for the Class B license.

Operator’s (bartender) Licenses: Applications and background checks were reviewed for Lorraine Dobbe, Marshall Mlodik, Clifford Olson, Joseph Fleming and Patricia Sikorski.

Motion: Williams/Osowski to approve all applications. Roll call vote: Rutta, Kielblock, Williams and Osowski-aye: Motion carried.

Centennial Tee Shirts & Town 25 North Books: We have approximately 125 shirts remaining from the Centennial celebration. The fair association offered the village a spot to sell them at various events.  The Town 25 North books will be sold at the museum during the Fair.

Motion: Rutta/Kielblock to begin sales of the tee shirts at the “Good times in the pines” event for the purchase price of $5.00. All in favor: None opposed: Motion carried.

Flood Plain Ordinance: There are two sections of the DNR model Flood Plain ordinance to be determined by the Village board, the land use expiration date and the enforcement and penalties.

Motion: Rutta/Kielblock to set the land use permits expiration to coincide with the building permit ordinance. All in favor: None opposed: Motion carried.

Motion: Williams/Kielblock to set the enforcement penalties as not less than $25.00 or more than $500.00. All in favor: None opposed: Motion carried.

Delegation of Commercial Building Inspector:

Motion: Osowski/Rutta to postpone action on the delegation of the commercial building inspector to the June 8, 2009 board meeting. All in favor: None opposed: Motion carried.

Resolution to Transfer funds: A resolution to transfer remaining funds from the 2008 budget to the 2009 budget for street maintenance was read aloud.

Motion: Rutta/Williams to approve the Resolution to transfer funds. All in favor: None opposed: Motion carried.

Committee Reports:

Streets: Osowski presented the Committee’s recommendation to submit a change order to the LRIP (Local Road Improvement Project) to resurface Randolph Street from the top of the hill heading East toward the alley between Mason and Main Street instead of the proposed work and approved application for Water Street.

Motion: Rutta/Kielblock to accept the committee’s recommendation to submit a change order to the LRIP. All in favor: None opposed: Motion carried.

*** Maintenance Bob notified the board the man hole in that portion of Randolph is owned by the telephone company so they will need to be made aware of the project.

Parks: Osowski gave a report of illegal yard waste being dumped at the Benn Conservancy. The committee already obtained permission from Mr. Lautenbach, Rosholt school teacher, to erect a sign banning illegal dumping. The committee recommends placing signs, hand-made by the committee, in the Benn conservancy and on the gate to the old dump on Forest street. The sign would direct them to the Village burn site.

Motion: Rutta/Kielblock to accept the committee’s recommendation to place signs in the conservancy and the dump gate. All in favor: None opposed: Motion carried.

There was a discussion about leaving the gate to the burn site open for duration of time to allow folks readily available access for Spring yard work. It was mentioned the fence was a requirement by the DNR for liability purposes regarding the sewer ponds. The gate will only be opened at the times specified on the entrance sign.

Payment of bills:

Motion:  Rutta/Kielblock to approve payment of all bills as read. All in favor: None opposed: Motion carried.

Adjournment:  

Motion: Williams/Rutta to adjourn. All in favor: None opposed: Motion carried.

Adjourned:  8:50 p.m.

Theresa K. Hartvig, Village Clerk-Treasurer
