Old Business:
Greg Montgomery updated the Town Board on the progress of the dam removal project, at this time the plan is about 95% completed and MSA is about ready to submit it to the Wisconsin Dept. of Transportation and Adams County Planning and Zoning for the permits to install the culvert. The size of the culvert has been reduced to 13’11” x 8’5”, this size will match what has been removed. Montgomery presented copies of the plan to board members to review. The decision as to use an aluminum or steel culvert will need to be made in the near future. The cost between the two types of material could be as much as $5,000-$6,000. The beam guard will also need to follow DOT regulations. Once the plans are submitted and approved the bid letting can begin. The natural process of the stream head cutting is taking longer than previously expected because of the areas containing mostly clay, and the whole area is much wetter than anticipated. The culvert will lay approximately 6” deep into the streambed and Montgomery said he would be hesitant to put the culvert in at this time because of the amount of sediment moving down stream.
New Business:
Motion by Musiedlak/Watson to “Guarantee & Purchase” 250 tons of salt/sand mixture for winter road maintenance &
reserve another 100 ton if it would be needed, current price per ton is $20.31. M/C. Some new designs for signs at the transfer-site will be brought to the October town board meeting, a decision then will be made as to where to order them made and the most obvious place to install them. After discussion the Budget Preparation meeting will be held at 6:00 p.m. just prior to the regular monthly town board meeting at 7:00. A driveway permit was sumitted for Dan Zinke at 4105 4th Drive, it will require a 12”x30’ culvert, motion by Watson/Musiedliak to approve. M/C. County Board Supervisor, Glenn Licitar, reported that the Adams County Board of Supervisors approved the petition submitted by the town requesting culvert aid for Golden Court. Discussion followed pertaining to the designation of County Road P as a “Rustic Road.” There will be a public hearing to hear comments and concerns at the Adams County Hwy. Department on Monday, September 29, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. Motion by Watson/Musiedlak to pay the town bills. M/C. Motion to adjourn at 8:45 p.m. by Musiedlak/Watson until October 16, 2008 at 6:00 p.m.
