Notices had also been published in the Ozaukee Press. In addition to the Town Officials thirty-one (31) Town residents were present for all or part of this meeting.

The Deputy Clerk read the minutes of the April 18, 2005 Annual Meeting. MOTION Rose Leider, second Steve Paulus to approve the minutes as read; carried. The date for the next Annual Meeting was scheduled for Monday, April 16, 2007 at 8:00 p.m. Question arose as to changing meeting time to 7:30 p.m. rather than 8:00 p.m. Residents agreed with the earlier start time. MOTION Bob Lederer; to schedule Annual Town Meeting for Monday, April 16, 2007 at 7:30 p.m.; second Tom Curtis; carried.

Peter Wagner, Chief of the Waubeka Fire Department reported that during the year 2005 there were 25 fire calls and 56 EMS calls. A total of 102 Fire Inspections were conducted. Chief Wagner further advised that the fire sirens will be activated the first Saturday of each month for tornado awareness and the safety of Town residents. He advised that both sirens appear to be working. Wagner also advised the department had 5800 hours of training for their personnel and as of June 2005 they began transports of patients to hospitals in the area. Wagner also stated that a sign will be placed at the corner of Hwy A & Hwy H which will display fire prevention messages. Asst. Chief James Behrens advised residents on Grants and stated the department has written a total of 4 Grants with the most recent being for the installation of an exhaust system to eliminate gas and diesel fumes when the trucks are being reset for service.

Chairman Mueller reviewed the 2006 Budget with the residents and advised that the tax levy was set at $318,490.00 which represents a 3 per cent increase. Tom Curtis questioned use of surplus and whether or not taxes will be reduced. Mueller advised that the checks received from the State are received later in the year and we have to operate with the budget that is presently in effect. He also advised that the State did cut Revenue Sharing to all communities. Mueller stated the State sets the levy at 2.2 percent and municipalities cannot exceed the 3 per cent limit. Mueller advised that a great deal of the budget is spent on road repairs and snow plowing when needed. A question was asked as to how many gravel roads still remain within the Township. Road names mentioned were those of Fairway Dr. and Willow Valley Rd.

Any other Old Business: No response received.

New Business: Mueller advised Town Residents that new Fire numbers will be erected throughout the Township to aid the Fire Department in emergency situations. Samples were passed around to the residents for their review and opinions. Two separate companies submitted proposals to the Board prior to this meeting. Residents agreed to the 8" blue sign with Town of Fredonia inscribed on the top of the sign being furnished at no extra charge. The residents also agreed to mount the Fire Number on a galvanized pole. The life expectancy is approximately 10 years. Tom Curtis questioned why the Town name has to be on the sign. Mueller said this is an important factor especially when you’re close to another municipality. Peter Wagner advised the blue sign is highly visible at night. The installation of the signs would be included in the price from Lange Enterprises, whereas Tapco would only make the signs and we would have to provide installation. The Town would bear the initial cost of installing the signs at each residence in the Township. If the sign is damaged or removed, the property owner will be responsible for replacement. The cost of the signs including installation is approximately $24,000.00. MOTION Patrick Jentges to purchase the blue sign with 8" numerals and the Township name mounted on a galvanized post; second Russell Saueressign; carried; One "no" vote was cast.

Robert Lederer, Chairman of the Town Hall Building Committee introduced members of the Committee, Lance Leider, Bruce Paape, Jim Stemper and Carol Mueller, Town Clerk or Margaret Rabuck, Deputy Clerk. It was determined that there was not sufficient space to add onto the present Fire Department Building and still be able to have ample parking especially for elections. Further handicapped accessible buildings are a State Mandate. Several property owners within the area were contacted regarding selling land to the Township for this structure. Some of the property owners were not interested in selling at this time and others had a higher cost factor involved. Land was offered for sale at the Americanism Center and after much discussion it was determined by the Committee to recommend that location for construction of the Town Hall. Mike Kroeger, a resident of the area expressed concern about the building obstructing his view from his residence. Bruce Paape displayed to residents the roads in the area and the approximate location of the building. He indicated that there would be a separate driveway and stated the building would be erected on the west lot line. Questions arose as to why not construct the building on the east side of the driveway. Mueller advised there would be a great deal of fill that would be required if this site were used. Rabuck stressed the need for safe storage of town records in one specific area. Tom Curtis questioned why storage space couldn’t be rented for this purpose. Mueller stated records must be kept close at hand for research when a question is posed. Curtis asked why Americanism Center couldn’t be refurbished to accommodate the needs of the Township. Paape responded it would cost more to rehab than to build. Mueller further stated our own building would be more user friendly. Rose Leider stated that a plan for our own building is good and that all documents should be close at hand. Bob Lederer concluded the presentation citing that the Town has been in existence since 1847 and all we have to show is a Recycling Center. Mueller advised Town should secure loan for a 20 year period rather than 10 years. Mike Kroeger wants building erected a greater distance from the roadway at the Americanism Center. Steve Paulus stated the building should be out of town. Cost estimate figures are approximately $375,000.00 including the parking lot. Bruce Paape states electrical, plumbing, etc should be bid out. Steve Paulus stated Town should receive dollar amount before proceeding. The "Public Use" of the building was questioned. This will be discussed in more detail at a later date. Peter Wagner questioned the hiring of an architect. Bob Lederer responded that many builders now have their own architects that are included in the building package. The Building Committee was asked to search for plans to be presented at another meeting. LeeRaye Baumann asked for site approval. MOTION LeeRaye Baumann to approve site at Americanism Center for construction of a Town Hall; second Steve Paulus; carried. One "no" vote was cast.

Mueller advised there will be a meeting at the County on April 27, 2006 regarding Flood Control. Teresa Kempfer asked what happened to the DNR planting environmentally friendly plants in the Milwaukee River area at the site of the dam removal. She advised all that is growing at the present time is noxious weeds. Mueller responded he believes they are waiting more settling in the area.

Bruce Paape requested a lower speed limit on River Road and School Road. Mueller responded that it is a very difficult procedure in procuring a lower speed limit. Steve Paulus stated that the Town should hire a Traffic Officer and have tickets issued.

Bob Behrens advised several tires have been abandoned on the roadways by unknown parties.

MOTION: John Janik to adjourn meeting; second Steve Paulus; carried. Meeting adjourned at 9:33 p.m.

Chairman Mueller gave a brief explanation of the revenues and disbursements in the proposed budget, explaining the reason for any major increases or decreases. The Town Tax Levy proposed is $318,490 which reflects a 3% increase over last year. John Blasczyk questioned the levy and why some of the general fund balance was not used to lower the levy. Mueller responded the majority of the increase is due to the cost of highway improvements on Town roads, and the general fund balance is needed to meet any unanticipated costs, emergencies, or possible increased highway expenses due to snowstorms etc. A reasonable general fund balance is also required for cash flow as the Town does not receive the majority of its State aids (Shared Revenue funds) until late in November.

Mueller asked several more times if there were any other public comments or questions and there were none.

Chief Wagner also cautioned residents of the danger in burning grass, etc. due to the present dry conditions. Safety and common sense must prevail. Chief Wagner noted the Fire Dept. received a total of $161,000.00 in grant money which was used for the purchase of 18 air packs in 2004, with the remainder of this money to be used for exhaust equipment in the Fire Dept. bay area to eliminate gas and diesel fumes when the trucks are being reset for service.

Chairman Mueller reviewed the Town’s annual financial report explaining some of the 2004 revenues and disbursements. Christine Luft questioned the increase in the dollar amounts from the sale of recyclables in ’04, which had tripled from that of ‘03. Mueller explained that prices were higher for plastic and cardboard, and some bales had been held for over a year.

Teresa Kempfer appeared on behalf of the Americanism Center and advised that the theme for the 2005 Flag Day Celebration will be to honor all WWII veterans. The Flag Day Celebration is scheduled for Sunday, June 12, 2005. Kempfer further advised that all the rooms at the Americanism Center are being used, with some groups having to share a room. The Center is working to pay off the remaining mortgage on the building.

Chairman Mueller spoke on road repairs. The TRIP fund project for this year will be Hickory Grove Road, from Hwy K to STH 57. Mueller noted that Center St in Waubeka, which was repaired and paved in 2004, had a higher cost than originally anticipated.

Chairman Mueller stated that our lease with the Waubeka Fire Department, for the use of the Town Hall and the Town’s office area, will be expiring in November of this year and the Town will need to find a new location for meetings and office space. All Town residents will be notified, and a special meeting scheduled, to discuss this issue after more information has been gathered.

Teresa Kempfer asked if the new/recodified Ordinances had been adopted. She was advised they were and that they are posted on the Internet. The question also arose as to enforcement of the Ordinances. We don’t have an enforcement officer, but Town Board Members can enforce all Ordinances.

Jamie Behrens questioned a speed machine located on Hwy A, west of Waubeka, near Waubedonia Park, in early April. Behrens said the machine did not appear to be operating. Town officials were unaware of this; it would be a County issue.

Christine Luft questioned if Robert Lederer’s appointment as Culvert Inspector would be a conflict of interest, as he is also a Plan Commission Member. She was advised this was not a conflict. Chairman Mueller thanked former inspector, Roger Janke, for his years of service to the Town.

Chairman Mueller noted that Supervisor, Ellie Doyle, had resigned last year. He stated that she was missed, thanked her for her years of dedicated service, and wished her well in all future endeavors.

Pat Bialzik questioned the Board about the old truck parked across the road from her residence, on the Stageman property on Hwy I, and asked if this was in violation of our present ordinances. The issue will be placed on the next Board meeting agenda to determine if there is a violation of current ordinances, and what can/should be done about it.

Chief Peter Wagner expressed concern about the Town’s fire numbers. He said they are difficult to read and this could be crucial in emergency situations. He advocated numbers being visible from both sides. Wagner will do some research and present information to the Board for further action.

MOTION Tom Sauer, second Harry Michaels, to adjourn, carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

A Public Hearing on the Adoption of Chapter 17, Zoning Code and Chapter 18, Subdivision and Platting, of the Town of Fredonia Code of Ordinances was held on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2005, in the Waubeka Firehouse meeting room, W4114 River Street, with Chairman Richard Mueller calling the hearing to order at 7:31 p.m., followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Chmn. Mueller, Supervisors: Chris Janik, Lance Leider, Catherine Stern, James Stemper; Town Attorney Jerry Edgar, Treasurer Tom Sauer, and Deputy Clerk Margaret Rabuck. This hearing was held in compliance with the Open Meeting Law in that notice was posted in at least three public places in the Town and e-mailed to THE SOUNDER, OZAUKEE PRESS AND MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL. The PH notice was published in the OZAUKEE PRESS, and was posted on the Town’s website. In addition to Town Officials there were 19 Town Residents present, and reporters from the Ozaukee Press and The Sounder.

Chairman Mueller explained this hearing was being held on Chapter 17 and 18, as these were the only chapters that required a Public Hearing prior to adoption.

Residents were upset that ordinances could not be printed off the Town web site. It was noted they were able to print Ordinances from other communities in the county. Questions as to why no historic district was created. Response by Attorney Edgar that historic districts must be created through the state and the only area affected would be the Village of Waubeka and that could be questionable. Mueller stated guidelines must be followed and any changes made on properties would have to be approved by the state. Questions were asked as to what defines a Farm Service Business. Chairman Mueller explained it was a product or service that is located in the A1 or A2 districts and is of service to the Ag. industry. Questions were also asked by residents about Farm Consolidation. Responses were made by Attorney Edgar and Mueller.

Questions were also asked about Chapter 18. It was noted that Chapter 18 deals primarily with land divisions and subdivisions. Attorney Edgar explained that the process is more clearly defined than in the previous Ordinance 13. Comments were expressed by residents as to property owner rights regarding proposed subdivisions or zoning changes in their area. Attorney Edgar and Mueller both stated that a zoning request had to be made by the property owner. If the zoning committee approved, it would go to a public hearing, at which time adjacent property owners would be notified by mail and have a right to protest the proposed zoning. Sally Fritzsch, a prospective buyer of a residence in the town, had questions about the home being used as a CLA (community living arrangement) for older adults who required assistance, and also about why adult day care was not mentioned in the ordinances, whereas child day care was.

Some residents felt proposed ordinances should not be approved until all questions were resolved. Chairman Mueller stated the board would like to adopt ordinances as presented; any changes or additions could be addressed in the future as needed. Without adoption, ordinances could not be enforced. Questions were addressed as to highway access. Response by Mueller that Town has jurisdiction over Town Roads; County Roads are governed by the County.

MOTION Stemper, second Leider, to close the Public Hearing; carried at 8:09 p.m.
