Dreblow reviewed correspondence and communications
as follows:
Dave Opitz - Town of Belgium resident Dave
Opitz has raised a concern to Administrator Meaux regarding the
Highway Department’s moving of a dirt pile on his property at the
end of Country Club Lane. The pile had been placated in the
turn-around area used b the county snowplows. Mr. Opitz would like
the dirt pile returned to its former location. The town of Belgium
directed the county to move the pile in order to allow snow removal
equipment to turn around when providing winter maintenance services
to the residents of Country Club Lane. The committee agreed that
this was a local matter between the town of Belgium and Opitz. The
Town Board will contact Mr. Opitz to resolve this issue.
WisDOT – The final calculation for the 2005
General Transportation Aids due Ozaukee County is $1,021,639.84.
This amount is approximately $30,000 less than the 2004 aids.
WisDOT – The DMV has completed the computer
software upgrade and is back running again.
Tom Lanser, Gremmer & Associates, joined the
meeting. Dreblow explained that two proposals have been received for
CTH ‘I’ engineering. Gremmer’s proposal was recommended for approval.
Moved by Grosklaus and
second by Kletti to approve Gremmer & Associates as the engineering
firm for the CTH ‘I’ reconstruction. All members present voting aye,
the motion was adopted. Hazard
Elimination Program funds will be used for the engineering and
construction portions of the project. CHIP funds will be used for
right-of-way services and acquisition. Lanser left the meeting.
Dreblow informed the committee that Superintendent
Tackes, Leppla, Banton and Foreman Paulus visited the manufacturing
facility of Dillman Equipment, in Prairie du Chien. Dillman is a
Wisconsin based manufacturer of asphalt mix plant machinery. Dreblow
requested the committee begin to consider the future replacement of
the current asphalt mix plant. Long-term needs should be considered
because of the future closing of the Ozaukee County Payne & Dolan
asphalt plant. The existing Astec plant produces a maximum of 100 tons
per hour. The asphalt paving crew can currently place more that 100
tons per hour. It may be in the county’s best interest to begin
planning for the purchase of a plant with a 300 ton per hour capacity.
Tackes and Banton left the meeting.
Jan Zander and Bill Schilling, representing Ayres &
Associates, joined the meeting. Zander discussed the design progress
for the STH 33 reconstruction. 60% plans should be compete in January
and a Public Informational Meeting will be scheduled at that time.
Zander informed the committee that the construction limits for the
project have been changed. The project will now begin east of
Northwoods Road and end at Tower Drive. The section of STH 33 from
Northwoods road to the Milwaukee River Bridge will not be a part of
the project. Dreblow strongly objected to this change, informing
Zander that WisDOT is neglecting its responsibility and indicated that
the limits should run from CTH ‘W’ to Tower Drive and should include a
Park and Ride facility. Dreblow will attend the Public Informational
Meeting to voice his concerns. Zander and Schilling left the meeting.
The committee inspected the new county logo, as it
will be used on Highway Equipment.
Meaux discussed the proposed County Board Committee
restructuring. There are some County Board Supervisors that would like
to see the new structure in place before April 2006. Meaux left the
meeting.
