The culvert aid petition to Adams County Board of Supervisors was completed and with a motion by Watson/Musiedlak will be filed with the County Clerk to be put on a County Board agenda prior to October 1, 2008. M/C. Paul Armson stated his questions and concerns for the removal of the Big Spring Dam as the project has gotten underway. His desire would be to have the town designate a project manager to over see the removal process, he feels that the Adams County Land & Water project manager is not qualified. The clerk informed the town board that at this time the dam owner (Knutson) has not returned the “easement agreement” to allow the town to install the culvert that will sit somewhat beyond the road right-of-way. Mr. Armson stated that if this agreement is not signed very soon, an injunction should be filed to bring the project to an immediate halt. Chairperson Julson will contact the municipal attorney on this matter. No other action was taken at this time.
New Business: A conditional use permit was requested by Michael Wright of 520 Gillette Avenue to replace the existing mobile home with a newer 1993 model, he has secured a permit from Adams County to disassemble the existing mobile. It was suggested at the Plan Commission review of the request that the old unit be removed by December 1, 2008. Motion to approve the request by Watson/Musiedlak. M/C. A motion by Watson/Musiedlak to not prepay for any LP with Hohl’s for this heating season, as the tank is 77% full and we have 83 gallons remaining on the last prepay contract. M/C.
