TOWN OF NEW HAVEN/ADAMS COUNTY
REGULAR MONTHLY TOWN BOARD MEETING
OCTOBER 16, 2008-7:00 P.M.
A budget preparation meeting for the 2009 proposed budget was held at 6:00 p.m. prior to the regular town meeting.
The regular monthly town board meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chairperson Mike Julson, all board members were present. Motion by Lenny Watson to approve the agenda for this meeting, second to this motion by Leo Musiedlak. M/C. Minutes of the September 18, 2008 regular monthly town board meeting were read by the Town Clerk and approved with a motion by Watson/Musiedlak. M/C. The financial report was read by the Town Treasurer and accepted with a motion by Watson/Musiedlak, with the following balances as of September 30, 2008: NOW checking account-$6,387.08, M/M savings account-$54,876.57, Berry Ridge parking fees-$4,839.64 and Certificate of Deposit-$14,693.89. M/C. Town Treasurer informed the Town Board that Berry Ridge is several months behind on the parking fees and additional dumpster fees at the park, she has contacted the manager several days prior to this meeting but has received no response. Discussion followed to have the dumpsters removed from the park, the Town Clerk stated that at an Annual Town Meeting several years ago, a motion was made and seconded from the electors to remove the dumpsters at that time, but the Town Board at that time chose to have the dumpsters remain for their convenience and charge the park owner the difference in price of placing them there instead of having the same amount of garbage brought to the transfer-site. The Treasurer will inform the park owner that not “staying current with the parking fees” could jeopardize the renewal of the Mobile Park license in the spring.
Old Business:
Several designs for new “informational” signs for the transfer-site were brought to the table at this meeting, they were discussed and a decision made to have Supervisor Musiedlak pursue prices from several sign makers and the Adams County Hwy. Sign department.
New Business:
A motion was made by Watson/Musiedlak to approve Tom Evans’ price quote for snow removal at the transfer-site and town hall. The quote being, plowing @ $75.00 per hour with a $30.00 dollar minimum and shoveling/sanding/salting @$16.00 per hour. M/C. Motion by Watson/Musiedlak to approve the engineering plans prepared by Greg Montgomery of MSA upon completion( they are 95% complete at this time) to be submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and Adams County Planning & Zoning to obtain the permits to install the culvert on Golden Court. M/C. Discussion followed on the brushing of areas in need in addition to the normal mowing of town roads. Motion by Watson/Musiedlak to limit the fall mowing and brushing to $5,000, and to have White & Sons contact the Town Chair prior to completing and leaving the area to see if there are any further areas that need attention. M/C. It was brought to the attention of the Town Board that the fence on the east side of the transfer-site needs to be repaired.
