TOWN OF OCONOMOWOC

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING MINUTES

Of Monday, April 17, 2006

 

6:00 p.m.    Call to Order/Pledge of Allegiance:  Chairman Robert Hultquist called the meeting to order in the Town Hall at 6:00p.m. with the Pledge.  Present were Chairman Hultquist, Supervisors John Roelandts, Jan Husak, John Koepke and Tom Martin.  Also present were Town Attorney William Chapman, Highway Superintendent Owen Salzman, Police Chief James Wallis and Clerk-Treasurer Peggy Chapman.  Administrator/Planner Jeffrey Herrmann was absent and excused. 

 

Approve Minutes April 3, 2006 Board Meeting:  Motion by Husak, seconded by Roelandts to approve the minutes as submitted.  Motion carried by unanimous vote.

Correspondence:  Clerk Chapman read an e-mail from Pat Celek thanking the Board for the updated and very informative website. 

 

Chapman then read a letter from Robert and Gail Horvath in regards to Road J and Oakdale Road.  The Horvath’s would like to have an understanding of the Town responsibility and the property owner’s responsibility in regards to the maintenance of those roads.  This item will be on the agenda for May 15, 2006.

 

Hultquist noted that Paul Fisher, who owns the land in front of the Mapleton Community Center, stated that school busses have been using the road there to turn around, which is causing extensive damage to the road.  Salzman concurred that road is in very bad shape at that location.  Hultquist has since spoken to the transport company and they have agreed not to use that road for turning around the busses anymore.

  2. Supervisor Reports

a.                  John Koepke:  Thanked everyone for the opportunity and stated he was looking forward to working with all of the board members and staff. He hopes we can all work as a team, knowing that not unlike his own family business, it takes compromise.  Koepke also noted that the Monterrey residents would like their “Monterrey” sign back up on Hwy 67.  Salzman stated he contacted the State, who told him not to put it back up due to potential liability.  The State will send someone out to re-erect the sign.

b.                 Thomas Martin:  None

c.                  Janis Husak:  None

d.                 John Roelandts:  None    

  1. Chairman Hultquist:  None
  2. Attorney Chapman:  None
  3. Highway Superintendent Salzman

a.                  Consider and act on fee for delivery of mulch/chips to Town residents:  It was originally thought that if we collected a small fee for the delivery of the chips and compost that we could apply those funds towards the cost of fuel used.  It was determined to continue delivering without a charge for the following reasons.  1) It would be difficult to collect the fees.  2) Some people may not decide not to order chips/compost due to the cost.  3) The Town must pay to have any left over chips and compost removed at the end of the season.  Motion by Husak, seconded by Martin to continue to offer free delivery service for the free chips and compost.  Motion carried by unanimous vote.

  1. Police Chief Wallis:  None
  2. Administrator/Planner Herrmann:  Absent and excused.
  3. Clerk/ Treasurer:  None
  4.  Approve Vouchers and Checks:  It was noted that the Chairman would review the payables in the Administrator’s absence.  Motion by Roelandts to approve the vouchers subject to the Chairman’s approval, seconded by Martin/Koepke.  Motion carried by unanimous vote.
  5. Adjourn:  Motion by Roelandts, seconded by Husak to adjourn.  Motion carried by unanimous vote.  Meeting adjourned at 6:27p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted by Peggy S. Chapman, CMC, Clerk-Treasurer
