Motion by Watson/Luger to table any further discussion on this matter until the November 2013 board meeting and the adjacent property owners establish what exactly this piece of property is recorded as.

PUBLIC COMMENT:
Rand Atkinson stated that he has purchased the property that was for sale at the corner of 3rd Lane and Golden Ave. His intent is to raise fish on the property and was questioning if there needed to be any special permits or rezones for this activity. The total acreage including the buildings is 1.8 acres. It was recommended to Mr. Atkinson to contact the ACP&Z for that information and if changes were needed to bring the appropriate paperwork back to the town to start the procedure. Gina Lindner questioned during snow removal on the town roads, if the first roads plowed will be the bus routes. Chairman Julson stated he will speak with the Wisconsin Dells district to determine routes. Jessica Baker asked if the brush that was cut during the brushing of town roads was going to be picked up. Chairman Julson said yes, or it will be chipped.
Disbursements were read by the town clerk and approved for payment with a motion by Watson/Luger. M/C. Motion by Luger/Watson to adjourn this meeting at 7:45 p.m. until November 21, 2013. M\C.
