1.    Consider and Act on encroachments within road Right of Way for STH 16.

A majority of the items are minor and could be removed easily. The more challenging items such as permanent signs and drive ways need to be discussed further. Currently the Town does not maintain this road and the DOT will contact the property owners for the Town. Supervisor Roelandts felt that STH 16 West of Oconomowoc is dangerous and some road maintenance needs to be completed.

Supervisor Roelandts suggested that Administrator Herrmann proceed with the new health insurance provider and that the Board would be in favor of assisting employees with co-pays. The Board agreed in general to the concept and further agreed that if a vote needed to be taken in the next day to approve the co-pays they would be willing to reconvene.
