NEW BUSINESS

Patoka, as a Town resident, stated he was looking for the Town Boards support to reduce the speed limit on Hwy. CW, even though it is a County road.  Patoka provided the Board with reports of numerous accidents and studies that showed the amount of vehicles that use the road.  Roelandts moved to authorize Officer Patoka and Lt.

Consider and act on request from Throttle Jockey’s Snowmobile Club to use Monterey Park for snowmobiling during the 2006/2007 season:  The Soccer Association currently leases many acres of this park.  Action on this item was tabled until the request can be discussed with the Soccer Association.

Consider and act on changes to the Letter of Credit for Siepman Realty as it relates to the Whittaker Bay Subdivision:  Due to the extension of dates within the Developer’s Agreement, some pricing may be changed.  If a change in pricing does take place, the Letter of Credit would need to be modified.  Husak moved to allow such changes to the Letter of Credit if the dollar figure was approved by the Town Engineer and the form of the Letter of Credit was approved by the Town Attorney.  Roelandts seconded the motion.  Motion carried by unanimous vote.
  8. Consider and act on request from Judy Sebastian of Restoration Fellowship to locate a sign in the Town’s right of way on Lang Road:  Herrmann stated that we should wait for them to receive permission from the County.  The Board would like to see the sign prior to taking action on the location request.  If this item comes back to the Board, the Deed of Restrictions should be amended to state that the sign would be removed at their expense if the road is widened.  Release of liability and proof of insurance would also be required.
