BUILDING INSPECTOR’S REPORT

J. Derler advised permits for 3 new homes. Derler advised Board that due to rain soaked soil, mound systems are not being installed at this time until weather is more stable.

MIKE KONECNY, AUDITOR SCHENCK BUSINESS SOLUTIONS

M. Konecny reported on Finances for the year 2003 and advised he found no instances of noncompliance. Matters of financial reporting and operation did not show any weaknesses. Recommendations for consideration were to change the Town’s accounting system to a modified accrual basis. Fire and Ambulance costs in the Town are higher than costs for many rural towns and compares more closely with municipalities that have water utilities with public fire protection charged from the utility. A suggestion for good public policy is to have the fire department submit annual financial statements along with a proposed budget for the 2004 calendar year. Governmental Accounting Standards Board is requiring governments to change their financial reporting. The Statement is effective for all governments with less than a $10 million budget for the year. The significant change for governmental reporting is to place an estimated cost and book value of their capital assets, including infrastructure, such as roads and bridges on the annual financial statements. Town was requested to review sales tax regulations in reference to sale of garbage bags at recycling center and remit sales tax in accordance with the state statutes.

TOWN BOARD MEETING

A meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Fredonia was held Thursday evening, February 12, 2004 at 7:30 p.m.,in the Waubeka Firehouse meeting room, W4114 River St., with Chmn. Mueller calling the meeting to order. OFFICIALS PRESENT: Chair Richard Mueller, Supervisors, Ellie Doyle, Chris Janik, Cathy Stern and Lance Leider, Clerk Carol A. Mueller, and Treasurer Tom Sauer. This meeting was held in compliance with the Open Meeting Law in that copies of the agenda were posted in at least three public places in the Town and e-mailed to The Sounder, Ozaukee Press, and Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

MINUTES/TREASURER= S REPORT

Minutes of the January 15th Town Board meeting, along with the January Treasurer= s report, had been provided to all members prior to this meeting for their review. MOTION Doyle, second Leider, to approve the minutes; carried. MOTION Doyle, second Janik, to accept the Treasurer= s report; carried.

PUBLIC COMMENTS - none

BUILDING INSPECTOR= S REPORT

John Derler reported (after the following agenda item) that the year ended with a total for ’03 of 13 new homes. Derler felt that "Smart Growth" is being pushed by large developers as they are running out of land, however, as it is a State mandate, it does need the Town’s attention.

MEMO OF UNDERSTANDING/COOP. AGMT. BETWEEN THE TOWN, OZAUKEE CTY. AND SEWRPC

The February 4, 2004 revision of the above document was reviewed by all members prior to this meeting. Doyle reported that the State grant Ozaukee County applied for had been approved; this was good news for our area as Sheboygan Cty’s grant was not approved. Stern read a statement she had prepared to explain her feelings on the issue. Briefly, she felt that the grant was coming from taxpayers; it is just another State mandate; she did not feel we were ready for this; the Town would be better off doing its’ own plan. Mueller felt we should accept the MOU as it is in the best interest of the Town at this time. Doyle asked Stern what she would like to see done. Doyle, as the appointed Town Board member of the Citizen’s Advisory Committee, noted it was her job to pass along any and all concerns that residents have, and she would not be making decisions for the Town, but rather looking for input to pass on to the CAC. Janik felt the "Plan" will require a lot of input from residents so we don’t end up with just what the County and SEWRPC want; with our plan as a part of the joint plan, the Town will still have control of land use, land divisions, density, etc. The County will only control what they do now, shoreland and floodplain zoning. Eric Rathke, a member of the CAC, asked Mueller for permission to comment. He said some other Towns had concerns as well, but they do realize they will still have local control. Members of the CAC will be looking for input, such as Stern’s comments, to pass along to the Committee. MOTION Mueller, second Janik, to sign the "Agreement"; Mueller, Janik, Leider and Doyle voted aye; Stern voted nay; motion carried, 4-1.

NEW COMPACTOR

Mueller noted he had received a call from Stepp regarding their original quote; they offered to lower their quote and would include several years of service (for a fee). After a brief discussion, it was agreed that the decision had been made and to leave things as they were; members had already studied the issues involved and felt Birchwood Systems had offered the best price for the quality of the equipment being purchased. As for the sale of the old compactor, and/or parts, a notice could be put in the next newsletter, or parts could be held and sold for scrap when prices were up.

CIGARETTE LICENSE FOR "BIG JOE’S. LLC"

Joel Schneider, as agent for Big Joe’s LLC, W3970 Hwy H, had applied for a cigarette license. MOTION Doyle, second Janik to approve issuing the license as applied for; carried.

BUDGET RESOLUTION 1-2004

Mueller read the resolution to transfer funds from the contingency fund for the purchase of the compactor and the necessary wiring. MOTION Doyle, second Leider to adopt Budget Resolution 1-2004 as read; carried.

REVIEW CONDITIONALUSE PERMIT FOR HARTMANN SAND & GRAVEL

The PC had requested that the TB review the CUP prior to sending it to the Attorney for drafting. Eric, Steve, and Richard Rathke were present. Stern asked if any areas had been restored to date. Rathkes noted that several have. The new area recommended by the PC to be rezoned, is less than what was originally requested by Hartmann S & G, as Klumbs, owners of the parcel, wanted to preserve trees near the lake area. Members commented on the CUP and agreed to forward it to Attorney Edgar for drafting. Public Hearings for the rezone and CUP will be held March 11th. The PC will review the CUP again at their next meeting.

ALL MEMBERS PLAN TO ATTEND THE WTA WORKSHOP IN MANITOWOC ON MARCH 27TH.

MISC. REPORTS, UPDATES, CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.

The Riveredge bike ride through parts of the Town will take place on June 27th this year. Many workshops and seminars were noted; members will attend if possible. The Clerk noted that the new election rules (under HAVA…Help America Vote Act) regarding mandatory voter registration listing will be handled by the County for all municipalities as they have in the past. Members agreed this was the best way to handle it. Mueller also noted that the Wis. Dept. of Admin. had approved the Wolff farm annexation to the Village.

CLAIMS MOTION Leider, second Doyle, to approve the claims presented - $600,659.67, checks #9246 through #9274 and Waubeka Street Light Account check #292 in the amount of $457.01; check to Birchwood Systems to be held until the final itemized statement is in and it meets the price quoted; carried.
