issue and ordered the County Highway Department to erect
the barricade. Gerald Weiland also appears and states

A meeting of the Town Board of the
Town of Fredonia was held on Thursday, November 17,
2005, in the Waubeka Firehouse meeting room, W4114
River St, with Chairman Mueller calling the meeting to
order at 7:30 p.m., followed by the Pledge of
Allegiance. Board Members Present: Chmn, Mueller,
Supervisors: Chris Janik, Lance Leider, Catherine Stern,
and James Stemper; Treasurer, Tom Sauer, and Deputy
Clerk Margaret Rabuck. This meeting was held in
compliance with the Open Meeting Law – copies of the
agenda were posted in at least three public places in
the Town and e-mailed to THE SOUNDER, OZAUKEE PRESS,
AND THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL-SENTINEL.
In addition to the above one town
resident was present as well as a reporter from the
Ozaukee Press.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Chairman Mueller
read a letter from Clerk, Carol Mueller regarding her
thoughts on the proposed purchase of St. Paul’s
Community Church for use as a Town Hall. Mueller
stressed concerns over the cost of remodeling and
maintaining an older building versus building a new
structure, which could be built to our exact needs and
would likely serve us for 150 years or more instead of
starting with a building that is so old already. She
calculated costs for a new building (with loan payments
of approx. $35,000 a year) would amount to $41.00
additional tax on a property valued at $150,000, (based
on this year’s assessed values and levy).
TOWN HALL STUDY COMMITTEE REPORT:
Lederer (a committee member) was unable to attend.
Leider said the architect’s feasibility study of the
Church for Town Hall tells the whole story and gives
options to Town. Chmn. Mueller had concerns about annual
costs of maintenance of the building. Costs for
construction and renovating the structure for Town Hall
use should be more fully explored before a final
decision can be made. Stemper and Leider said the
architect’s study includes estimated costs. Mueller
expressed concern about records protection should the
public be using the lower level of the facility, as the
entrance to a lift or elevator, which would be required
if the lower level were to be used, would have to be in
the upper Town Hall. Stemper stated location and
historical building are a plus. Janik expressed concern
about operating costs on an old building versus a new
building and stressed they would be higher on an old
building. Mueller stated it is premature to make an
offer at this point in time as more information is
needed. Stemper felt we should make an offer prior to
the end of the year. Leider said an offer should be made
this weekend as someone else is interested in the
structure. Mueller stated this building is larger than
we need. Stern stated we could use a larger building and
noted that we pay the Fire Department a lease payment of
$3,000.00 per year. Janik said he is not comfortable
with making an offer without further study. Stern stated
we should make a low offer and said space would be
limited once remodeling would commence. MOTION
Stemper to go into closed session, as allowed under
Section 19.85(e) of the Wis. Statutes, to negotiate on
an offer to purchase the church; second Leider. Vote 4
to 1, with Mueller voting no; motion carried 4-1.
Meeting moved into closed session at
8:16 p.m

DISCUSS APPROPRIATING FUNDS IN BUDGET
FOR FLAG TYPE FIRE NUMBERS APPROXIMATE COST $25,000.00;
FUNDS WOULD COME FROM GENERAL FUND: Board agreed to
gather more information regarding the purchase of new
Fire numbers. Perry Paulus wondered about the placement
as Highway Department does grass cutting on the right of
way. Fire numbers would be installed by the company and
placement would be uniform throughout the town;
placement would be in an area so as not to interfere
with grass cutting. Residents will not be permitted to
remove them. An Ordinance would be adopted regarding the
placement and/or replacement of the fire numbers. The
WFD and Rescue requested using this type of sign as it
can be difficult to locate a residence in emergencies.

p. 1 of 2, Nov 10’05
Special T. mtg. of Electors, minutes
Mueller spoke about the possibility
of new fire numbers for all Town residents. Estimated
cost is approximately $25,000 installed, which would be
paid by the Town. Replacements would be the burden of
the resident. The building inspector assigns the fire
numbers after a permit has been taken out and
construction has begun. Stemper stated the new numbers
which are visible from either side are a good safety
feature. The WFD urged the town to look into this as it
is sometimes difficult to locate a residence in an
emergency situation. LeRae Baumann noted she has seen
these numbers in other areas and they look very good.
LeRae Baumann felt that the Church
could be "donated" to the town for the sum of $1.00. She
further stated that the Town has not made any proposal
to the Church and said maybe an offer of $1.00 should be
made to show interest in acquiring the building. John
Blasczyk stated a realtor has to accept the $1.00 offer.
Pat Bialzik said a Church should remain a Church and
should go to the Historical Society, and the Town should
look at "Diane’s This n That" business building, located
on Hwy Z as that property is now for sale. Rose Hass
Leider stated the Town should purchase the church.
Robert Behrens wanted the Town Hall relocation issue to
be placed on the agenda on a month to month basis for
discussion and a final resolution. John Blasczyk asked
about the proposed hobby car race track; he believes it
would be a good thing for the young people in the area.
Mueller noted the matter is still to be considered.
MOTION Robert Lederer to close
Special Town Meeting of Electors, second Teresa Kempfer;
carried.
Meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m.

activated spontaneously, apparently due to signal (code)
problems. Mueller advised that a quote was obtained from
American Signal in the amount of $2444.00 which includes

Kocher, Jennifer R. Smith, Arthur L Birch and Christine

DISCUSS ZONING ON RIVERSIDE RD;
RECENTLY DIVIDED WEYKER PARCELS ARE FOR SALE AND HAVE
MIXED ZONING: Zoning on these parcels, along with a
few others surrounding them on Riverside Rd., is
presently R-2 (for about the first 500 feet from the
road) and A-2 on the balance of the parcels; lot sizes
conform to A-2, the surrounding area is A-2, and there
is a barn on the Weyker parcel. The Clerk noted that
real estate agents are advertising the parcel as a horse
farm, and she is not sure what to tell callers who
inquire about the property, due to the mixed zoning;
does the R-2 take precedence? Clerk feels this must have
been a mistake on the map, and suggested the Board or
Plan Commission should consider rezoning these parcels
to bring them into conformity and allow the barn to be
used for animals. Matter will be referred to the Plan
Commission for further review.
DISCUSS PROCEDURE FOR POSSIBLE
PURCHASE OF CHURCH FOR USE AS TOWN HALL: Mueller
informed the Board that the church will be listed at
$250,000.00 per a phone call to the Clerk from realtor,
Joe Schwalbach of First Weber; Clerk advised him a CSM
will be needed to divide the church and parsonage lots,
and a rezone may be needed for one of the lots. Clerk
Mueller asked our town assessor, Grota Appraisals for
their advice, and they felt the building would be worth
considerably less and money would need to be spent to
bring it up to our needs. Hameister Architects could be
hired to conduct a feasibility study as they had
conducted a prior study at the Americanism Center.
Mueller appointed a committee to study all aspects of
this issue and work with church treasurer, Gordon
Schaefer. Committee members appointed were Lance Leider,
James Stemper, and Robert Lederer, if he accepts.
MOTION Stemper; second Leider, to get quotes from
others, as well as Hameister, to do a feasibility study,
but not to exceed $4,000.00, carried.

DISCUSS AWARDING CONTRACT FOR
AMBULANCE SERVICE FOR THE TOWN OF FREDONIA, TO THE
WAUBEKA RESCUE SQUAD: Chairman Mueller read a letter
from Chief Wagner announcing the upgrade of the EMS
services to IV-Tech level. The upgrade enhances their
basic skills and allows them to administer certain
medications. The State required schooling and clinicals
have been completed, and the ambulance has passed the
State inspection for IV-Tech, therefore, the Waubeka
Volunteer Fire Department/Waubeka Rescue Squad is
requesting a contract with the Town of Fredonia for
ambulance service, to begin on May 1, 2005.
Mueller noted the Town’s only
contract for ambulance service, signed in 1990, was with
the Northern Ozaukee Ambulance. This contract was for
two years with automatic renewals, and a 90 day notice
to terminate. Village President, Bill Hamm, who was
present, indicated that according to their legal counsel
the contract is still valid and will remain in effect.
Chairman Mueller questioned Village of Fredonia Fire
Chief, Brian Schommer, as to whether their department
would hold the Town to the 90 day notice. Schommer
stated they would not, but the Village Board would need
to approve the decision. Jason Caswell, Captain of the
EMT’s, indicated their department is willing to wait for
the Village Board’s decision, which should be made at
their May 5th meeting. The Waubeka Fire
Department’s ambulance service (Waubeka Rescue Squad)
Agreement with the Town of Fredonia would then begin on
June 1, 2005, at 12:00 a.m., instead of May 1st
as requested
Under the terms of the Agreement, the
Waubeka Fire Department, Inc. would provide first-in
ambulance service, and be the primary provider of
transportation of the sick and injured, to all parts of
the Town, except those areas specified in
the Agreement as currently served by virtue of an
"Approved Rural Fire Department Service Contract" with
the Fredonia Fire Department (the entire Sections 12,
13, 24, 25, 35, 36, that portion east of the Milwaukee
River in Section 34, the NE ¼ of Section 34, and the NE
¼ of Section 26) and the Random Lake Fire Department
(Sections 1, 2, 3, and 4).
Town Board members discussed the
issues. Stern asked if sufficient personnel are
available to be on call 24/7, 365 days a year. She
stated that in the past her family had received
excellent and very professional service. Stemper noted
that there has been excellent coverage in all areas of
the Town, and ambulance personnel have had excellent
training. Janik and Leider agreed with these comments.

with Northern Ozaukee Ambulance effective 12:00 a.m.

allow comments by a particular person. Issues brought up
during Public Comments can not be acted on at that

discussion. Per Town Ordinances, requests to have an
item placed on an agenda must be requested by the Friday

printed and disbursed to the Board members and the
press. The Public Comments section is listed on the
agenda as a courtesy; open meeting simply means that the
meeting is open to the public, not that the public can
speak during the meeting. When public comments are a

CONSIDER ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 1-2005
TO RECODIFY THE GENERAL ORDINANCES OF THE TOWN OF
FREDONIA, CHAPTERS 1 THROUGH 20: Chairman Mueller
read the Ordinance. Stern felt more work is needed and a
clearer explanation before adoption. Janik and Stemper
agreed, but stated that any discrepancies can be worked
out as the situation arises. Mueller noted that none of
the Ordinances can be enforced unless we adopt at the
present time. Leider referred to Chapter 4, wherein an
Enforcement Officer would have to be appointed to
enforce the Ordinances; at present the Town relies on a
Law Enforcement Officer for serious violations; Board
members may also enforce the ordinances. Leider has
concerns about hiring an enforcement officer. Stern
questioned why the A-2 and A-3 have Farm Service
Business listed as a conditional use, but not the A-1.
Stemper replied that special uses may be granted under a
Conditional Use Permit. MOTION Janik to adopt
Ordinance 1-2005; second Stemper; vote 4 to 1, with
Stern voting against, motion carried.
UPDATE LONG RANGE PLAN/SMART GROWTH:
Stern advised that approximately 85 surveys have
been returned thus far and that she along with her
committee will examine these surveys and report to the
Board at the March ‘05 meeting. The County will be
calling approximately 20 residents in each municipality,
beginning in February, with their survey questions; the
survey could take about 20 minutes.
DISCUSS TOWN HALL LEASE WITH WAUBEKA
FIRE DEPT: Mueller said the Town should be looking
for a new site for town meetings and voting. Our present
lease with the Waubeka Fire Dept. expires in November,
2005. Mueller will form a committee to seek out ideas
and locations that would be most advantageous to the
Town and its taxpayers.
