Members Kletti and Uselding were excused. Motion made by Hilber and second made by Grosklaus to approve the minutes of the March 17, 2005 meeting as printed. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted.

Dreblow advised the committee that if a summer work schedule was continued this year, a letter of agreement must be prepared. The committee directed Dreblow to prepare a letter for consideration by the committee.

A labor contract negotiation session is scheduled for this afternoon.

Dreblow reviewed the WisDOT Traffic Maintenance Agreement for non-emergency sign repair. Moved by Grosklaus and second by Hilber to approve and sign the agreement. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted.

Al Neumann, representing the Village of Fredonia and Scott Benz, representing JBJ Development Corp. joined the meeting. Dreblow explained that JBJ has a plat for the development of the Wolf Property, approved by the village, but that JBJ neglected to obtain an permit from the Highway Department for access to CTH ‘A’. Cobblestone Lane does not meet the access control ordinance distance standards for new roads. If Cobblestone Lane would end before its intersection with CTH ‘A’, a type ‘3’ driveway access could be approved. Martin Drive does meet the ordinance standards for street access. JBJ will apply for a driveway permit to access the commercial area and a street permit for Martin Drive. Neumann and Benz left the meeting.

Dreblow reviewed construction and maintenance projects.

WisDOT – STH 33 Bridge – WisDOT has posted turning restrictions at the intersection of CTH ‘W’ and STH 33. No left turns are allowed from STH 33 onto CTH ‘W’ from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. This is causing inconvenience to motorists.

Shop Superintendent Leppla joined the meeting. Leppla reviewed bids for a small asphalt paver as follows:

Brooks Tractor Inc. BOMAG Model 4410 Pro Paver $57,428.00

Miller-Bradford & Risberg LeeBoy Model 7000 $60,375.00

Brooks Tractor did not have a paver that could be demonstrated or viewed therefore Leppla recommended purchasing the LeeBoy from Miller-Bradford & Risberg. Motion made by Grosklaus and second by Hilber to accept the bid from Miller-Bradford & Risberg and to purchase the LeeBoy at a cost of $60,375.00. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted.

The committee discussed the meeting schedule for the new Public Works Committee. The County Board will meet the first and third Wednesday of each month. Grosklaus pointed out that it might be preferable to schedule the monthly meeting of the Public Works Committee on the Thursday following a County Board Meeting, thereby reducing the number of weeks during the month that meetings are scheduled. The committee agreed to schedule the Public Works Committee meeting at 8:00 a.m. on the Thursday following the first County Board meeting of the month.

The labor payroll of March 25th in the amount of $93,048.85 was approved. Accounts payable in the amount of $64,602.63 were audited and approved for payment.

Respectfully Submitted,

Georgia Carroll, Office Manager
