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.

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.

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.

MOTION Stemper to approve Conditional Use Permit; second Stern; carried, 4 to 0, with Leider abstaining.

Mueller advised that a quote was obtained from American Signal in the amount of $2444.00 which includes the cost of a new decoder. Board felt this must be repaired as soon as possible, to stop the "false alarms", as residents need to know that when the siren goes off there is a definite reason for it. MOTION Leider to have siren repaired by American Signal; second Stemper; carried.

ITEMS FOR NEXT NEWSLETTER: Mueller said he will contact Waubeka Fire Chief, Peter Wagner for any department information. A suggestion was made to list school board members for both Northern Ozaukee and Random Lake schools, and note the radio station which would advise of school closings.

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.

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 5^th 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 1^st 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.
