Town Board Proceedings
February 14, 2012

Chairman Abraham called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm. The Open Meeting Statement was read. Elected Officials present were Abraham, Elsner, Wilz, Moede and Beyer. Smith arrived at 7:25 pm. There were four residents present.
Motion Wilz, second Elsner to approve the Agenda. Motion Carried.
Motion Elsner, second Wilz to approve the January 2012 minutes. Motion Carried.
The Treasurer reported the fund balances, and that the tax collection was, in his estimate, around the normal amounts, with the final totals from the County not in yet. Motion Wilz, second Elsner to approve the Treasurers Report. Motion Carried.
The constable reported on one missing dog, and checking on a stop sign that had some extra plywood nailed to it, and removing the obstruction. Motion Wilz, second Elsner to approve the Constables report. Motion Carried.

Visitors: Pat Kons was in attendance to ask if Spring Creek Road could be plowed with the direction of the drifting in mind, as it can get high fast, in heavy snow situations. He was also concerned about the snow incident when the schools were delayed one hour, and the plows came on his road at around 1:00 pm, by that time the snow had melted on the road. Chairman Abraham stated that other roads in the town were very hazardous due to drifting and slush, so they all got tended to. Kons also stated his appreciation to the Planning Commission for their working with him on his Conditional Use Permit issue.
Kim Zierler was in attendance to hear about the Swan Road issue. The Clerk summarized the Public Hearing that was held, and the varying opinions the Board received that night, on how to handle the problem. Beyer also stated having had a conversation with Roger Hollman that day. Hollman stated the County is willing to work with the Town on this matter, to get it resolved as quickly as possible, and he requested the Chairman and he set up a meeting with Sheriff Hardel, to discuss the citation end of the matter. Chairman Abraham will set up the meeting, and the Town will ask the Sheriffs Department to enforce the State Statutes regarding dropping debris on the roadway, giving out citations to violators.
Business: No report from the Mill Pond Committee.

Comprehensive Planning: Beyer reported on the previous weeks meeting of the Planning Commission, stating the Conditional Use Permit that Waupaca County had required Pat Kons to apply for, was no longer necessary, as Kons and the committee had come to an agreement. The Conditional Use Permit for the property on County N was not recommended by the Planning Commission. This land is in the Ag Enterprise zoning district, and our plan does not allow for a Conditional Use of scrap or junkyard. The landowner requested the Town allow him to go through the ReZone process. The Planning Commission further instructed the landowner the rezoning of the land would not be allowed under the present zoning Ordinance, so they felt he would be wasting his money. The Landowner persisted in his request for the Rezone, stating he had no intention of moving his scrap materials. The Chair of the Planning Commission will meet with the landowner and lay out all of the details again, and the Planning Commission will proceed according to his decision after that meeting. Beyer reported the Implementation Steering Committee is meeting 2 times per month, to expedite the process of amending the Zoning Ordinance. There are some changes necessary due to practicality, and it is a lengthy process. Beyer told the Board she felt that once the County Zoning Ordinance finished its Amendments, the Town would need to Amend their Zoning Ordinance to make any necessary changes.
Land Use Permits: none.
UDC Inspections: none.
Fire Numbers: none requested.
Fire and Ambulance Report: no report at this time, the meeting is scheduled for February 28. The Board did have a Resolution from the Fire Department to address. The Resolution is an agreement for aid with surrounding municipalities, and this is just a formal Resolution for something the Department has been doing for some time already. It, simply put, says the Town does support the Mutual Aid to and from other Municipalitys, at no charge. Motion Wilz, second Abraham, to approve Resolution 2012-1FA. Motion Carried by Unanimous vote.
Ordinances: none.
Building Use and Maintenance: The propane tank is at 20%, will need to be filled. The Clerk will call Wolf River Propane, who had the lowest price.
Roads: Elsner stated all is going well, waiting for the Brush hog to get into the area.
Correspondence: none
Payment of Bills: with the addition of the check to Wolf River Propane, the checks will be numbered from 7877 to 7908. Motion Wilz, second Elsner to pay bills as listed. Motion Carried.
The Chairman asked for any Public Comment. None offered.
Motion Elsner, second Wilz to Adjourn. Motion Carried. Meeting was adjourned at 8:00 pm.
Next meeting of the Town Board will be on Tuesday March 13, 2012 at 7:00pm at the Little Wolf Town Hall.
These minutes are subject to Board approval.

Respectfully Submitted,

Jackie Beyer, Town Clerk

LITTLE WOLF TOWN HALL

THE MILL POND COMMITTEE WILL MEET FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISCUSSION AND UPDATE ON INFORMATION REGARDING THE MANAWA MILL POND AND DAM.

Town Board Meeting Minutes, January 10, 2012

Chairman Abraham called the meeting to Order at 7:00pm. Open Meeting Statement was read. Roll call of Officials: present were Abraham, Elsner, Wilz and Beyer. Smith arrived at 7:35. There were four Residents present.
Motion Wilz, second Elsner to Approve Agenda. Motion Carried.
Motion Wilz, second Elsner to Approve December Minutes. Carried.
Treasurers Report was heard later in the meeting; Motion Elsner, second Wilz, to Approve Treasurers Report. Motion Carried.
There was no Constables Report.
VISITORS:
Mary Griffin was present to speak on behalf of the Committee for the Athletic Field, for the School District of Manawa. Griffin shared the drawings of the proposed field with the Board, explaining the bad condition of the present field at Lindsay Park, and the bleak outlook. The cost of the proposed field is $350,000.00, and the School Board has given the committee until February 1st to raise 67% of the funds. If they can raise that much, the School will give the builders the go ahead. The Board felt it was indeed a worthwhile project, but did not feel they could donate towards it with taxpayer money, as the Town does give a large portion of the taxes collected to the school district. The Board does, however, encourage its residents to donate personally to this effort. With Open Enrollment, it is harder to keep our youth in town. An Exit Poll was discussed, where voters could give their opinion on the donation, as they leave the Town Hall, after they are done voting at the April Election. The Clerk will work to have the Exit Poll set up.
BUSINESS:
Mill Pond Report; There was no Mill Pond Report.
Comprehensive Planning: Beyer reported the Planning Commission had a meeting on Tuesday morning, and the Commission recommended to the Board they should not allow a Conditional Use Permit, to allow for horses on Leighton Avenue. The Planning Commission did empathize with the horse owner, but did not feel they could bend the rules to accommodate the animals. The Board agreed with the Planning Commisson, and would like the County Zoning office notified that they would like the animals moved on or before January 31, 2012.
Beyer reported on the ISC meeting she attended on Thursday, January 5, at the Waupaca Courthouse. The County Zoning Ordinance will be getting some revisions, and the Implementation Steering Committee will be meeting often in the next two months to accomplish the task.
Land Use Permits: None.
UDC Inspection Reports. None
Fire Numbers: none applied for.
Fire and Ambulance Report: Abraham reported the Fire Board met , and the following stats were given; Ambulance runs to date for 2011 were 306, compared to 328 last year. Fire calls in the last quarter were 6.
Ordinances: none to report.
Building use and Maintenance: the propane tank is at 42% full, Clerk will have prices for next meeting, it will need to be filled by then.
Roads: Waupaca County sent the contracts for a choice of 1 or 3 or 5 years of minimum dollars of work. After discussion, Abraham motioned to approve the 3 year contract of $47,000 per year worth of work by Waupaca County Highway Department. Motion seconded by Wilz, with Elsner abstaining. Motion Carried.
The issue of stumps on Swan road was discussed. The Board decided to have the stumps removed from the right of way, to keep the ditch clean. The ditchcleaning process on Progress Road has revealed some manmade roots in the form of concrete and old steel wagon axles. The town is now obligated to have them removed, as they cause a safety hazard. This will be done as weather permits.
Election Update: As there are no primaries required for the April Election, there will be no February Election.
The Clerk reminded the Board of the scheduled Public Hearing for the Swan Road Cul de Sac proposal, taking place on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, in the Community Center side of the Town Hall.
Correspondence was read.
Payment of Bills, checks numbering 7818 through 7873 were presented. Motion Wilz, second Elsner to approve payment of Bills. Motion Carried.
Motion Wilz, second Elsner to Adjourn. Motion Carried. January Town Board Meeting was adjourned at 8:22 pm.
Next Board Meeting will be held on February 14, 2012 at 7:00 pm.

Meeting Proceedings
November 8, 2011

Meeting was called to order by Chairman Abraham at 7:00pm. Open Meeting statement was read. Roll call showed Wilz, Elsner, Smith, Moede and Beyer present. There were 12 residents and County Board Supervisor Dave Johnson present.
Motion Elsner, second Wilz to Approve Agenda. Carried.
The Clerk read the October Minutes, Motion Wilz, second Elsner to Approve the October Minutes, Motion Carried.
Treasurer read his Report. Motion Elsner, second Wilz to Approve Treasurers Report, Motion Carried.
Constable Reported one Found Dog. Motion Elsner, second Wilz to Approve Constables Report, Motion Carried.
The contract from the Waupaca County DHHS was reviewed. The Clerk had a phone conversation, to follow up on the letter received, and reported the Town has received a 2% increase yearly, except for 2010. This is what all of the sites receive for rent in Waupaca County. The Board did not want to discontinue this valuable service to the Seniors. Motion Wilz, second Elsner, to Approve the 2012 Contract with the DHHS, to continue the Senior Meals program. Motion Carried.
Visitors:
There were nine residents present from Swan Road, to request the portion of Swan Road, west from Spring Creek Road, be made into a Dead End, with a Cul de sac on the west side of Hasss driveway. The reason for the request is to alleviate the hazards and expenses created by people using that road as a shortcut to the PTF. The trailers going through with no tarps are consistently dropping debris, with the biggest problem being nails from building materials. The Board empathized, and decided to proceed with the process, which will involve holding a Public Hearing, for all residents in the Town to come and speak their peace about the subject. This Public Hearing will be held in January 2012, and notice will be published in the County Post East, and posted, 30 days in advance. Elsner will start the process with the Highway Department, as Engineering will need to be done.
Business:
Right of Way Issues: After doing the Fall Road Check, and starting the Garrity Road East project, it is becoming increasingly apparent that people are not keeping the ditches in working order. It is very costly to have ditching done, and the Town Board does not want to raise everyones taxes to pay for damages done by a few. To that point, the Board feels it necessary to warn the Residents that in future, any ditch clearing necessary, due to damage by farm practices, will be repaired and charged to the one doing the damages. The Board also decided to put stakes to mark the Right of Way, so any ditching from now on is clearly marked. Motion Wilz, second Elsner, to approve the purchase and install of Right of Way stakes. Motion Carried.
Speed Limits on Town Roads: After receiving many complaints from residents on Oak Road, Butternut Road and North Water, the Town Board has decided to lower spped limits on these roads to 45 mph. It will require a Public Hearing to change these speed limits, and that will be combined with the Swan Road Cul de Sac Public Hearing in January 2012.
Mill Pond Report: Ken Groholski was present to report the Mill Pond Committee will be exploring the possibility of creating a Lake Association. The last Mill Pond Committee meeting had approximately 20 people present. Groholski reported that Jason Bessette has expressed interest in being on the Committee. Motion Wilz, second Elsner to approve Jason Bessette as a Mill Pond Committee member. Motion Carried.
Building Permits: One Land Use Permit received, for a shed.
Fire and Ambulance: Abraham reported the latest stats on Fire Calls, year to date is 48 calls, compared to 68 last year. Ambulance runs were 265, compared to 285, for 2011 and 2010 respectively. The Budget for the Fire and Ambulance Departments was passed, with no increases. Motion Elsner, second Wilz, to accept the Report. Motion Carried.
Ordinances: Update on residents/lots with junk issues. Beyer reported the Zoning Department will be sending letters and/or citations. Two of the properties will also be expected to apply for Conditional Use Permits, to allow for their junk. The Board requested the Clerk send letters to two more residents, regarding excessive junk and or junk vehicles.
Roads: Fall Road report was reviewed; signage requiring attention- list was given to Moede. Most of the weight limit sign posts, which will be permanent, are in the ground. The new Reflectivity Law for Road Signs, requires the Town to have a Plan in place by January, 2012. Wilz suggest the Town be divided into quarter, and replace a section of signs every year. Motion Elsner, second Wilz to Replace the Signs, a quarter per year. Motion Carried.
Budget 2012: The Board met prior to the Town Board meeting, at a Special Public Hearing, to discuss the 2012 Budget. There was one Resident present for that Hearing. Comments were positive for the Budget as presented, with a few questions. With no negative feedback, the Budget was passed by Motion. Motion Wilz, second Elsner, to Adopt the 2012 Budget as presented. Motion Carried.
Audit: The Chairman discussed the Town having an Audit of the Books last month. He reasserted his feelings that it is a good practice, which has not been done for many years. Wilz suggested using a colleague at Baylake Bank, who has done audits for Churches. Lisa Rickert will do the Audit for $10.00 per hour, and estimates it to take 10 to 20 hours. Motion Wilz, second Elsner, to approve the Audit be done by Rickert. Motion Carried. The audit will be done in March of 2012.
Amendment to 2011 Budget: Due to the purchase of the new Furnace and Central Air, and the update of the windows and door in the Community Room, the Budget needs to be amended. $4500.00 from Roads will be moved to the General Government Account. Motion Wilz, second Elsner to approve the Budget Amendment. Motion Carried.
Correspondence was reviewed.
Payment of Bills with Checks numbering 7782 through 7799 was approved by: Motion Elsner, second Wilz. Motion Carried.
Motion Elsner, second Wilz to Adjourn. Motion Carried. Meeting was adjourned at 8:32 pm.
Next Meeting of the Town Board will be December 13, 2011 at 7:00 pm.

Visitor Input:
Dean Steingraber, Waupaca County Highway Commissioner, and Pat Bruneau, PTF, were in attendance to open a dialogue with the Town, regarding the use of Murray Road and Swan Road, by people on their way to the PTF. This has been an ongoing problem, with the main complaint by residents of the roads being traffic and the debris that falls off the trailers. Many residents have flat tires due to the nails, and other sharp debris. The discussion centered on deterrents suggested by the two visitors, methods used by other facilities, and Board members suggestions. The Board will check into putting signs on the roads in question, and will include the info in the upcoming newsletter that will be going out to residents around the 1st of November. Jim Zemple was present to inquire about snowplowing and to state he has been satisfied with the job done in the winter on the Town roads.

The Board would like to raise the rent, as it has been the same for over 10 years, and the rising cost of energy makes it necessary to increase the monthly amount, which is now at $216.52. The Clerk was asked to inform the DHHS in writing, and invite Pat Enright to the next meeting.
Motion Wilz, second Elsner, to approve payment of the bills with checks numbering 7765 through 7781. Motion Carried.
Motion Wilz, second Elsner to Adjourn. Motion Carried. Meeting Adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
Next Meeting of the Board is on Tuesday, November 8, 2011.

Treasurers Report was read by Smith. Motion Elsner, second Wilz to Approve. Carried.
Constables Report was given. Motion Elsner, second Wilz, to Approve Constables Report. Motion Carried.

Visitor Input: Olev Tauts, from the Covenanted Church, was in attendance to request the use of the Town Hall Community Room. Their group would use it every Sunday, like they had in the past. Beyer explained to the Board that since it is a long term request, she wanted the Boards input on the matter. The Board decided they would agree to rent to the Church, with the understanding they need to pay the same as the residents are charged, $50.00 per time, and if a Resident requests use of the Hall on a Sunday, they would have first rights to it, with a two weeks notice. Tauts will contact the Clerk when their group decides on a start time.
Business:
The Draw Down of the Manawa Mill Pond is, at this time, on hold. The City of Manawa is waiting to hear from the new Engineer as to the condition and repairs needed to the Dam. The Town board felt it was still a good idea to approve a Resolution to form a Mill Pond Committee, to get information and be ready if the Draw Down does happen in the spring. There are five residents who spoke of interest to be on a committee, and the Clerk will contact those people. Motion Wilz, second Elsner, to Adopt Resolution
26-2011, to form a Mill Pond Committee. Motion Carried. Any meetings held will be Open to the Public, and will be posted, so interested parties may attend.
The Conceal and Carry Law takes effect November 1, 2011. With its enactment, it is necessary for the Town Board to decide if it wants to ban the carry or conceal of weapons inside the Town Hall. If the Town chooses to Ban weapons, it must have the signage at all entrance doors to the premise. Motion Wilz, second Elsner to Ban the Carry or Conceal of weapons inside the Town Hall premises. Motion Carried. The Clerk will order the signs and have them installed.
Grievance for Town Employees Procedure: With the new Laws regarding Collective Bargaining, the Town is now required to have in place, as of October 1st, a Grievance Procedure for Town Employees, even if it does not retain hired employees. The Wisconsin Towns Association provided a sample procedure, for each Town to tweak for its own use. Copies of the Procedure were given to the Board, and it was discussed. Motion to approve Resolution # 28-2011, Town of Little Wolf Employee Grievance Procedure, was made by Wilz, second Elsner. Motion Carried.
Building Use and Maintenance: Hillside Builders will be replacing the North entrance door and the windows in the Community Hall, by the end of September. The propane tank is full. The snow removal in the Town Hall Parking Lot was discussed. The board asked the Clerk to place an ad in the County Post East and at the three posting places, requesting Quotes to do the work. Clerk will place ad in next weeks paper, all quotes will be reviewed and the decision made at the October meeting.
Roads: Colleneen Court has been paved, and the shouldering will be completed soon. Discussion about using black dirt versus screenings to complete the work ensued. Elsner stated screenings would be sturdier, for when residents park on the shoulder. Abraham felt this is a Residential area, and the residents would appreciate the black dirt, so they can seed it if they choose, and make their lawns go all the way to the road like before. Elsner stated he hoped they did not expect the Town to repair any ruts if someone parked their cars and sunk in when its soft. The Board agreed, the residents would have to take care of that if it happened. Abraham asked Elsner to have the ditch mowing done. The culverts on Heinke Road will be scheduled, and the road ground before fall. Oak Road has a drainage issue, Elsner asked the Clerk to contact Land and Water at Waupaca , to come take a look and suggest how to remedy the problem. The Clerk had a call from a resident on DR Drive, the shoulder was washing out, asked if it could be looked into.

The last issue brought up by the Chairman was a complaint he received by phone, regarding a fund raising event held in the Town. It was reported to have included indecent behavior, and the resident was very upset that it had been allowed. The Clerk was asked to check the Ordinance book, and it was in the Liquor License portion, that any indecent behavior is prohibited by the Town, and could result in the revoking of a Liquor License, and/or the denial of future applications for the License. The Board did not feel it needed to go to a revocation status, and does not intend to cause the Business in question any losses. The Chair asked the Clerk to draft a letter to the Business and include the Ordinance the Board is sworn to uphold, and discourage this type of conduct in the future. The owners will be invited to any Town Board meeting if theyd like to address the Board on the matter.

Correspondence was reviewed.
Motion Elsner, second Wilz to pay bills as presented, with checks numbering 7749 through 7764. Motion Carried.
Motion to Adjourn from Wilz, second Elsner. Motion Carried. Meeting was adjourned at 8:12 pm. Next meeting of the Board is scheduled for October 11, 2011 at 7:00p.m. These Minutes are subject to Board Approval.

Respectfully Submitted,

Chairman Abraham opened the meeting with the Open Meeting Statement at 7:05 p.m. Officials present were Elsner, Wilz, Smith and Beyer. There were eight residents present.
Motion to approve the Agenda made by Wilz, second Elsner. Carried.
Motion to approve Treasurers Report made by Elsner, second Wilz. Carried.

Visitors Input: Most of the visitors were present for the Dam discussion. Beyer reported to the Board the Draw down of the Manawa Mill Pond will not be taking place any more this year. The West side of the Dam will be repaired before fall, and it does not require a draw down. This info came from Frank Jaeger, and Mike Frazier. The Draw-down will most likely take place next spring, to finish the repairs needed. Visitors spoke about the forming of a Committee from the Town. It would be the Committees duty to research and investigate options to leaving the water level down, so as to improve the water on the pond. The Committee could be formed by a Resolution of the Town Board. The Clerk asked for time to draw up the Resolution, to be acted on at the September meeting. The Town board would like to have some citizens from the Town volunteer, and it can be residents that do not necessarily live on the Mill Pond. The Board would like the Clerk to work with the City, to get their input and cooperation on the matter.
Comprehensive Planning: Beyer reported the Sordahl Re-zone was completed on Thursday last, with the Public Hearing in Waupaca. The County Zoning committee approved the Re-Zone of the parcel.
Roads: Colleneen court will be reground next week and re-paved before fall. Heinke Road will have some culvert work done, and then reclaimed.
The culvert issue out at Ron Zemple on Spring Creek Road will be addressed before fall, when the crews are in the area. The bill the Town received from Al Hildebrand was discussed. It is for work done on the ditches, that Hildebrand paid for. The Town was going to do the work, and had not been able to get there yet. Hildebrand asked to be reimbursed for the ditching portion alone. The Board agreed, as it did save the town money, compared to having the County do that portion. Motion Elsner, second Wilz to pay Hildebrand the amount requested. Motion Carried. Ditchcutting was tabled until September meeting, hopefully it will be drier.
Election Update: The Town of Little Wolf had 360 voters for the Recall Election. Election day ran smoothly.
Correspondence was reviewed.
Motion Wilz, second by Elsner, to pay checks numbering 7725 through 7748. Motion Carried.
Tom Kolosso asked to address the Board at this point, to review the issues he brought up at an earlier meeting. Kolosso wondered if the Town was using double standards on semi traffic on County Yard Road. He observed S&S hauling out of the pit on that road. He was reminded by the Board of the special permit issued to S&S, when Kolosso was Chairman, and he got his Conditional use permit from the Town. He stated the willows in the creek had been removed. The old appliances in the back of the Griffin property on O, north of Little Creek Rd are still there, and wondered if the Town had issued a permit for a junk yard. Also on his list was the junk and garbage left behind by the swimmers at Fahsers bridge. The Board reminded Kolosso of the fact that most of his issues were actually things the County takes care of, not the Town.

Motion by Wilz, second by Elsner to Adjourn. Motion Carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
Next meeting of the Town Board will be on September 13, 2011 at 7:00 pm At the Little Wolf Town Hall.
These Minutes are subject to Board approval.

Respectfully submitted,

Motion Elsner, second Wilz, to Approve June meeting Minutes. Carried.
Motion Elsner, second Wilz to approve Treasurers Report. Carried.
No Constables Report.
No Visitor Input.

Business:
Comprehensive Planning: Beyer reported the Public Hearing for the Sordahl Zone Change Request was held on June 20, 2011. There were no residents present, and no letters received for or against the Zone Change. Beyer recommended to the Board to approve the Resolution to Amend the Zoning Map to reflect the requested change. Motion Wilz/ second Elsner, to approve the Resolution to change the Zoning of the parcel, as shown on the CSM, to Rural Commercial Neighborhood. Motion Carried. Beyer also informed the Board she has typed up a Road Maintenance Agreement, as per Sordahls request. It has been forwarded to Zoning for their approval. It will require the Chairmans signature after Zoning approves it. The County will schedule the Public Hearing for the County Zoning Committee after tonights action by the Town Board.
The Board also reviewed the CSM received, from Bill Block. Motion Elsner, second Wilz, to approve the CSM for Bill Block. Motion Carried.

Special Event Standbys were Rodeo weekend and the upcoming Symco Thresheree, July 30 and 31.

Building Use and Maintenance : Beyer reported the Senior Center has received some help from Waupaca County; they will be using help from the clients at WCI, for clean up after the meals are served.
The price quote on the window and North door replacement was reviewed. It was from Hillside Builders. The Board felt the job should be done all at once, instead of spreading it out over more than one year. Instead of adding a storm door, the Board felt a heavier door would be better, as storm doors are notorious for being whipped in the wind, especially as its on the North side of the building. Motion Elsner, second Wilz, to approve the Hillside Builders quote. Motion Carried. The work is to be completed by October.
Roads: Elsner reports the shouldering is complete on Rail Road. He also stated he would like to schedule the wood posts for the weight limit signs to be installed by the County.

Their dog had gotten killed by a vehicle over the weekend, and they are concerned about their children. Resident requested the speed limit be changed to 25 mph. The Clerk phoned the resident and explained the lengthy, costly process to do this. The resident was informed Elsner will check the road for signage, and for any tree branches to be trimmed around the signs. The Clerk also informed the resident to call the Sheriffs Department to report speeding issues, as Sheriff Hardel informed the Board that if there is an area receiving high complaint volume that is where they will assign extra patrol and presence. Tom Smith informed the Board that they should have a Fire Number assigned to the Boat Landing at the County Park on N, east of Manawa.

Meeting Proceedings of the Town Board

June 14, 2011

The Chairman called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. with the Open Meeting Statement. Elected Officials present were: Abraham, Elsner, Wilz, Smith, and Beyer. There were three visitors present.
Motion to Approve Agenda made by Wilz, second by Elsner. Carried.
The Clerk read the minutes from the May meeting. Motion to Approve May Minutes by Elsner, second Wilz. Motion Carried.
Motion to Approve Treasurers Report made by Elsner, second by Wilz. Motion Carried. There was no Constables Report.

Visitor Input: Mona Golla-Kolosso was present to inform the Board the workers hours in the Senior Center have been cut as of July 1, 2011. The Board will need to pick up the difference or the ladies will not have enough time to clean up the tables and floor after the meals are served and the dishes and kitchen are cleaned. A lively debate ensued. Sup. Wilz stated there may be a need for some time management, or staggering of shifts, and many businesses are feeling the pinch of budget cuts. Golla-Kolosso did not feel this would work at all. Chairman Abraham stated the Senior Center is a rental situation, not a Town employee set up, the residents should not have to shoulder any more expenses. The Clerk stated the volunteers should maybe be canvassed, to see if any would be interested in helping with the extra needs. Beyer suggested placing posters around to inform residents of the needs, in hopes of attracting some help. The Board stated they felt this a valuable service, and does not want to see it lost.
BUSINESS:
Comprehensive Planning: Beyer reported the Public Hearing for the Sordahl Zoning Change is scheduled for Monday June 20, 2011 at 7:00 pm at the Town Hall. The Board will have a Special Meeting prior to the next Town Board Meeting on July 5, to approve the CS Map for Sordahl, and to adopt the Resolution to Amend the Zoning Map of the Comprehensive Plan, the next steps to the Zone Change.
Building Permits: The Board reviewed the Land Use Permits received and one UDC Inspection Application for a new home.
UDC Inspections: Paul Hanlon sent a new Permit Fee Schedule for the Board to review. It has been some years since the Fees have been updated. These fees will be collected by Hanlon, and forwarded to the Town with the Applications, as is the policy at present. On the new Fee Schedule, a new home of 800 Square Feet will have a base fee of $320.00, and additional square fee will cost $.25/sq.ft. Motion Elsner/ second Wilz, to adopt the Fee Schedule as presented. Motion Carried.
Fire Numbers: none.
Fire and Ambulance Report: no report. Chairman Abraham did bring up the question of the Emergency Vehicle Replacement Fund being funded annually at its current amount of $18,000.00. He stated he feels it should not be a savings account, when other budget items are short. If the Fire Department is not planning a purchase for 3 more years, we have time to set aside our share of any purchase, and use this amount for expenses. The Treasurer stated the amount is generally put in the account in February, when the tax money is collected and we are early in our budget year, except this year it was not moved, as this had been discussed in January by the Board. It had been decided to wait till year end and move money then, after seeing how the years expenses played out. The Board decided in January to wait until December.
Ordinances: none.
Building Use and Maintenance: The furnace issue was discussed, with the quotes reviewed. The board listened to suggestions from Tom Kolosso, and walked outside and looked over the furnace and furnace room, to explore different possibilities regarding the pump for the high efficiency furnace. Motion Elsner/ second Wilz to approve the Furnace/ AC quote from Manawa Heating and Cooling for the price of $4098.75. The work to be done well before the heating season starts. When taking their walk, the Board also looked at the windows and entry door on the North end of the Community Room. The Chairman stated it seems silly to put in a high efficiency furnace, and not update the old windows and doors. The Clerk was asked to have Meidam Builders and Brad Pethke give us quotes on replacing those items. The quote on spraying the Town Hall for bugs, which was requested from Bob Nickodem, was reviewed. It was decided by Motion Elsner/ second from Abraham, to have the bugs sprayed monthly, for a cost of $28.00 each time. This is to keep out the Box Elder and Beetles, which have been coming in heavily since last fall. Motion Carried.
Road Maintenance: Abraham stated the ditches will be mowed before the July 4th holiday. The Board reviewed quotes presented by the Chair for various projects. They were from MCC and Waupaca County. With the change to the Prevailing Wage Law, some of the quotes should be lower.
Motion Abraham/ second Wilz, to have Waupaca County do the work on Riverview and Colleneen Ct. as per quote, also for the Crackfilling to be done as per quote from Fahrner. Elsner abstained. Motion Carried.
Liquor License Renewals: Motion Elsner/ second Wilz, to approve Liquor License applications as presented, as all checks cleared the bank. The License are for Cedar Springs Golf Course, with Operators License for Gina Sullivan, and Joyce Beyer(pending receipt of her certification paper). TRs Edge of Town, with Operators License to Jodi Luedke, April Bonikowske and Ronald Rosenthal. The Picnic License for the Manawa Lions Club, from June 31, 2011 through July 3, 2011, for the Manawa Rodeo, was also approved. Operators License for this event for Floyd Gerl and Pete Griffin were approved. Motion Carried.
Redistricting Resolution: The Resolution for the Redistricting of the Town was reviewed. This was necessary due to the population changes, from the Census. The changes to the Ward boundaries in our Town were small. The only time this will affect a voter, is when the County Supervisor positions are on the ballot. Motion Wilz/ second Elsner to Adopt Resolution # 25-2011. Motion Carried.
Change July Meeting Date: Motion Wilz/ second Elsner, to change the date of the July meeting to Tuesday July 5, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. The reason for the change is the Recall Election, or primary if necessary, are scheduled for July 12, 2011. Motion Carried.
Correspondence was reviewed.
Motion Elsner/ second Wilz, to pay bills, with checks numbering 7690 through 7707. Motion Carried.
Motion Wilz/ second Elsner to Adjourn. Motion Carried. Meeting adjourned at 9:35 p.m.
These Minutes are subject to Approval of the Board.

Chairman Abraham called the May Town Board meeting to order at 7:00p.m. The Open Meeting Statement was read. Officials present were:
Elsner, Wilz, Smith, Moede, and Beyer. There were four invited guests and five residents in attendance.

Motion Wilz/second Elsner to approve the Agenda with the addition of Adjourn Board of Review. Motion Carried.
The reading of the April meeting minutes was given by the Clerk. Motion by Elsner/ second Wilz, to approve the April Minutes. Motion Carried.
Motion by Elsner/ second Wilz, to approve Treasurers Report. Motion Carried.
Constable Moede reported one dog lost, and one dog found. Also reported the fixing of 3 signs. Motion by Elsner/ second Wilz, to approve the Constables Report. Motion Carried.

Chairman Abraham welcomed the guests, thanking them for attending.
He asked Sheriff Hardel to update the Board on the County Yard Road semi traffic issue. Hardel stated he has met with Sturms representatives, and feels they are working on the problem, with signs in the outlet drives, and meeting with staff and truckers. He stated there have been 2 hefty citations given out to violators, for weight limit violations. Don Knudsen stated there was a semi on County Yard Road on the previous Sunday night at around 10:00 p.m. Abraham stated we need to be reasonable in our expectations of how much time the Sheriffs Deputys can spend sitting on that one road. Hardel added that Waupaca County ranks number 69 in the state for # of patrol officers. He offered extra patrol to the Town, at the cost of $50.00 per hour, which includes officer and vehicle. Other towns have used this option. Elsner stated the signs have been installed on Hwy 22/110 and County B. Hardel stated the Town has done a good job with putting up signs, leaving no excuse for truck drivers to be unaware of the limits. Abraham asked about the cost effectiveness of putting up a flashing sign similar to the pedestrian sign in front of Sturms. The Town will check into that option.
County Board Supervisor Patricia Craig shared a map from the Redistricting Meeting she attended at the Courthouse. Waupaca County is going through the redistricting process, which was initiated due to the population from the Census. Beyer stated she is to meet with County Clerk Mary Robbins on Thursday, to discuss the Towns redistricting, as there were changes made.
County Board Supervisor Gary Barrington added to the previous discussion, stating citations are the way to stop the semi traffic problem. He suggested a sign on County B, pre-warning of the 6-ton weight limit, to maybe prevent them from turning on that road to start with.
County Board Supervisor Dave Johnson stated he had nothing further to add, all discussion was heading in the right direction.
Tom Kolosso addressed the Board, giving them a list of concerns. Some were Road issues; some were Boat Landing and waterway issues. Abraham stated the Board will take all issues under advisement, and will address the Road issues with Lance Penney. The waterway issues will be discussed with Land and Water at the Courthouse.
Business:
Comprehensive Planning: Beyer reported the Planning Commission met last Thursday, and Recommend to the Board to proceed with the Zoning Change requested by Maynard Sordahl. Beyer will publish the notice for the Public Hearing, which is the next step. Motion Elsner/ second Wilz, to approve proceeding with the ReZone Amendment. Motion Carried.
Board appointments to the Planning Commission were: Rhonda Wilz and Lowell Prellwitz. Both are present members, and agreed to continue. Motion Elsner/ second Abraham to Approve the Appointments. Carried.
Building Permits: No Permits issued.
Beyer informed the Board that so long as the County is handling the Land Use Permits, and sending a copy to the Town of each one issued, the Town should consider no longer requiring building permits. New homes will be going through the UDC Inspector, Paul Hanlon, and he forwards all copies to the town also. The Board agreed the requirement is no longer feasible, as the UDC code replaced the Towns Building Code. This will become effective immediately.
UDC Inspection Reports: No reports received. Paul Hanlon sent a fee schedule for the Board to review. Hanlon will attend the June meeting to discuss with the Board.
Fire Numbers: none issued.
Fire and Ambulance Report: Report to be given in June.
Ordinances: none received.
Building Use and Maintenance: the Board reviewed the quotes for a replacement furnace and air conditioner. There was a big disparity between pricing. The Board felt the quote from the Green Bay Company was too high, more than twice the next highest. Manawa Heating and Cooling was allowed to give an air conditioner price, to make all of the remaining quotes on the same basis. Kolosso commented the Board should check the windows in the community room, they are old and in need of updating. The board will compare the 3 quotes at next months meeting, along with the window suggestion.
Roads: The Board members did the Spring Road Check and Wilz shared her report. The patching will be taken care of as scheduling permits. Elsner reported Fahrner will be doing the WISLR report, as they go through the town roads to get their price quotes for the crackfilling work. There were 3 signs that were noted needing repairs, Moede was given the list.
The cul-de-sac on Schultz Road has raised a complaint from the adjacent landowner, the Clerk will check into it, with the Town of Lebanon.
Liquor License Applications: The Clerk has delivered the applications to the two license holders, they are due back by May 20, in order for the Clerk to publish the required notices. If the applicants dont return them in time, the Town will hold a special meeting to approve the licenses, which expire on June 30, 2011, but it will cost the applicant $200.00 for the cost of the special session. The Picnic License for the Lions Club will be sent out tomorrow. It does not require special published notice.
Board of Review: As the tax rolls are not complete, the Board will Adjourn the Board of Review to a later date, to be published when the tax rolls are finished. Motion Wilz/ second Elsner to Adjourn the Board of Review. Motion Carried. Abraham had a call from a resident, regarding his tax assessment and his bill, and told the resident he would get a notice of the date and time of the Board of Review. The resident also called the Treasurer to voice his displeasure.
Correspondence was read.
Motion Wilz/ second Elsner to approve payment of bills, with checks numbering 7675 through 7689. Motion Carried. Elsner asked the Board to approve the payment of one per diem to the Clerk, for her hours spent with the vendors for the furnace quotes, the Board approved. Motion Elsner/ second Wilz to approve the payment. Motion Carried.
Motion Elsner/ second Wilz to Adjourn. Motion Carried. Meeting Adjourned at 8:45 p.m.

Town Board Meeting Proceedings

March 15, 2011

Chairman Kolosso called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Open meeting Statement was read. Elected Officials present were: Elsner, Wilz, Beyer, and Smith arrived at 7:25. There were 10 residents present.
Motion Wilz/ second Kolosso to approve agenda as presented. Carried.
Motion Wilz/ second Elsner to accept February Minutes as published on Town Website. Motion Carried.
Motion Kolosso/ second Elsner, to accept the Treasurers Report. Carried.
Constables Report, no report this month.

Visitors Input:
Jack Hodel was present to ask the Board why plowing snow across the road is an issue, at the end of the snow season, after he has been allowed to do this for 20 years. He was unhappy with the letter sent to some of the residents on Garrity Road. Tom Abraham asked how many letters were sent out, the Chair stated nine. Abraham wondered why all residents didnt get a letter, as this is a common practice throughout the town. Jim Zemple was in attendance to complain about receiving a letter, and he was the only one on Butternut Road to get the letter. Elsner stated that there has been a problem on Garrity this year, with it being a heavy snow year, and the storms coming from the North made it worse. Garrity Road also is getting more traffic, making this an additional safety concern. Hodel stated he felt it should be handled with more common sense. Supervisor Wilz stated she had been frustrated that the Chair sent out the letter to select residents, and without the Boards approval. She felt it should have been handled better, and sent to all residents, as it is a State Statute, not a Town Ordinance. She felt the matter should be on the Agenda for next October, with a letter being sent to all residents in early November.
Comprehensive Planning:
Beyer informed the Board of the final decision by Wurths to withdraw the request to have the County re-zone their land. It can stay zoned Rural Residential at the Town level until the scheduled re-evaluation, as told to Beyer by the Foth rep. Beyer has received two requests and one letter from the County Zoning Department regarding Zone Change requests. She would like to combine the three, so as to consolidate the Public Hearing, publishing cost and labor. Will keep the Board informed of progress.
Building Permits: none
Driveway Permits: Maynard Sordahl was present to request the approval of a driveway and culvert. Elsner will go to the site and meet with Sordahl.
UDC Inspection Reports: none.
Fire Numbers: no new requests.
Fire and Ambulance Report: Wayne Steingraber was present to give his report: Ambulance runs through February were 53, with 4 runs for the Fire Department, one being a false alarm. Average Response Time was 9 minutes. The Fire Department Is discussing purchasing a new Brush Truck, and retaining the old one for continued use. The estimated cost is $70.000.00, with delivery around Spring 2012. The Town of Little Wolfs share would be 34% or around $24,000.00. Discussion of the monies put into the Emergency Equipment Replacement Fund centered around whether the Town should put in the yearly $18,000 to that fund, as there is enough in the fund presently to pay this share. If the Town skips a year, there will still be enough in the fund in 3 to 5 years to be able to pay the Towns share of the next proposed purchase.
Building Use and Maintenance: All is running smoothly, save for the need of Propane. Tank is at 15%. Clerk will order the fuel after doing some price checking. Motion Elsner/ second Kolosso, to approve. Carried.
Roads: Elsner stated the brush cutting was completed las week on Oak road. Weight Limits in the County are on as of March 14, 2011. The board will be getting the signs out on the town roads.
Election Update: April 5, 2011 is the Spring Election. The Clerk stated she is trying to figure out a system to alleviate the flow of electors during voting. Tanya Wadzinski has offered some of her equipment to use in the boardroom, Beyer will meet with her and see if it would work. Otherwise the use of numbers has worked in other municipalities, that may be an option.
District Meeting Report: The Clerk attended the Towns Association District Meeting at Marion. Representative Kevin Peterson was there, and gave a report on the Budget Repair Bill. There was information given about the effects of the Budget Repair Bill on our Shared Revenue. The Clerk will copy the information of interest and share with the Board members.
Correspondence was reviewed.
Payment of Bills: checks were reviewed, with an additional one for the propane purchase. Motion Wilz/ second Elsner, to pay bills with checks numbered 7629 through 7648. Motion Carried.
Motion to Adjourn from Wilz, second Kolosso. Carried. Meeting was adjourned at 8:17 p.m.
Next meeting: April 12, 2011 at 7:00p.m.
Annual Meeting: April 19, 2011 at 7:00 p.m.

The meeting was called to order by Chairman Kolosso at 7:00p.m. Open Meeting Statement was read. Roll call showed Elsner, Wilz, Moede and Beyer attending, with Smith absent. There were ten visitors/ residents present.
Motion Elsner/ second Kolosso to approve Agenda with the addition of Pat Timm to Visitor Input. Motion Carried.
Motion Wilz/ second Elsner to approve the January 2011 Minutes, as shown on the Towns Website. Motion Carried.
Motion Kolosso/ second Wilz, to approve Treasurers Report, as read by the Clerk. Motion Carried.
Constable Moede reported he had one call about a lost dog, and one call about a found dog. Motion Elsner/ second Wilz, to Approve Constables Report. Motion Carried.
Visitors Input:
Brian Haase from Waupaca County LWCD was in attendance to explain the PACE program to the Board, and ask for a resolution from the Board in support of the applicants from the Town of Little Wolf. The applicants putting their land into Conservation Easements are: Jeff and Diana Henschel, Wepner Farms, and Don Konrad.
Motion Elsner/ Kolosso, to adopt a Resolution for each farm, stating that the Town of Little Wolf is in support of these landowners putting their land into Conservation Easements in the PACE program. Motion Carried.
Manawa School District Administrator Duane Braun was in attendance to open the lines of communication between the Town and the District, after the last snow storm. Braun stated the drifting snow caused two buses, with students aboard, to become stuck on the way to school Wednesday morning. Elsner stated the call to plow was sent for normal start hours, as the Town operates under a tight Road budget, and starting any earlier would have resulted in a large overtime bill. Braun shared his deadline for a late start or 2 hour delay is 6:00 a.m., to be able to have the local TV and Radio stations broadcast the Late Start. The question was asked if a Late Start has to be made up, or costs the school any time, which was answered No by Braun. Elsner stated that the Administrator could maybe consult Jim Quinn about what his road check route was when he was in charge of Transportation, as there was no problems when he took care of that matter. Braun stated he would check into a better assessment method, and the Town stated they would be happy to continue the communication with the District.
Dale Ferg was in attendance to ask the Board for approval of a Certified Survey Map, and a Road Maintenance Agreement for the same property. Jim West from Appleton was also in attendance for this matter. Discussion was had regarding the owners/ users of the current shared driveway, with one of the owners against the possibility of a future road being constructed along the lot line. It was determined the land in question is not owned by the neighbor, therefore they have no say in the easement becoming a road in the future. The Clerk clarified the Road Maintenance Agreement was for all intents and purposes what Supervisor Elsner had requested, giving the Town authority in the future to maintain the Right of Way, if a road is constructed, and reminded the Board this will only become a factor if and when a residence is built. If there is no residence, there is no need to upgrade to Town Road specs. Motion Kolosso/ seconded Elsner, to approve the CSM and Motion Kolosso/ second Elsner to approve the Road Maintenance Agreement. None opposed, Motion Carried.
Patricia Timm requested to speak to the Board regarding the overpayment of her Property Taxes, and asked for a refund. The Clerk explained this was a situation where the Assessors incorrectly assessed her CRP land as undeveloped, as far back as 2006. Ms. Timm requested the matter be looked into in December of 2010. The Assessor and the Town Treasurer did the investigatory work, and found her to be due a refund of the difference between the two assessments. The check will be signed at the end of the meeting and mailed to Ms. Timm. Pat Timm was satisfied with this for this years payment and will be checking into how to recapture the payments from the past years. She also Thanked the Town for the good job of keeping North Water Drive well plowed this snow season.

Business:
Comprehensive Planning: Beyer reported the zoning Public Hearing was held on February 3rd, regarding the Wurth property. There were 3 residents in attendance against the Zone Change, and due to that testimony the Zoning Committee suggested the Town hold a second public hearing, to give the neighbors another chance to have their say. The Clerk informed the Wurths that the Town will have to initiate the fee schedule and start charging for any additional time and cost. The Wurths asked to have time to decide how they would like to proceed, and will contact the Clerk.
Building Permits: none
UDC Inspections; none
Fire Numbers; none
Ordinances: none
Building Use and Maintenance: no problems or complaints to report.
Roads: Elsner reported he is working on getting prices for the road signs, as the updating is now mandatory, and there is a deadline. Next weeks Towns Association meeting will have a discussion and a speaker on this subject. There is still a need for some kind of signage to have semis directed to the correct inlet to deliver to the former Sturm Foods facility. Elsner would like to open dialogue with their management.
Election Update: The Clerk reports the polls will be open at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday February 15, 2011, until 8:00 p.m., for the Spring Primary, with paper ballots and the Edge machine in use.
2011 District Meeting: The Towns Association District Meeting is on March 4, 2011 at Marion, and Motion Wilz/ second Kolosso to send the Clerk to attend. Motion Carried.
Motion Elsner/ second Kolosso, to move the March meeting to March 15th, the Third Tuesday, as Elsner has a personal commitment on the second Tuesday. Motion Carried. The Clerk will publish in the paper, in addition to the normal posting.
Correspondence was reviewed.

The January Town Board meeting was called to order by Chairman Kolosso at 7:03 p.m. The Open Meeting Statement was read. Officials present were: Elsner, Wilz, Beyer, Moede, and Smith arrived at 7:20. There was one resident present.

Motion Elsner/ second Wilz to approve the Agenda. Motion Carried.
Motion Elsner/ second Wilz to accept and approve the December Meeting Minutes, as posted on the Town Website. Motion Carried.
Treasurer's Report: Smith told the Board that 35% of the Property Taxes had been paid at this time. Motion Elsner/second Kolosso to accept Treasurer's Report. Motion Carried.
Constable Moede reports a quiet month, with one Fire Number sign to correct. Motion Elsner/ second Kolosso to accept Constables Report. Motion Carried.

Comprehensive Planning:
The Board discussed the Road Maintenance Agreement for the Borsche property, and decided they are not comfortable having the 66 foot easement titled an easement, in the event the easement would be upgraded to a road. Easement does not allow the Town to keep encroaching branches and growth maintained for Emergency Vehicles, as compared to a Right of Way. Suggest the Realtor involved make the change and present to the Board at next months meeting, as he was not present to answer questions.
In the matter of the amendment to the Fee Schedule for Re-Zoning, Motion Elsner/ second Kolosso to include the Fee of 12.00 per hour for administrative fees. The hours will be tallied and added to the fees that are due from the landowner requesting the Zoning change.
As for Limiting the number of times the Planning Commission and Town Board will do Re-Zoning per year, the Board decided to table any resolution until one year has passed, to better evaluate the time it takes, and how many requests are received In the next year.

Building Permits: none.
UDC Inspection Reports: none.
Fire Numbers: none.

Fire and Ambulance Report: Wayne Steingraber reported on the December 27th meeting, citing the Ambulance run statistics, with a 3 year high of Ambulance calls for 2010, that number being 328, including 29 standbys. Upcoming Special Event Standby is the Sno-Deo on February 19th at Bear Lake.

Ordinances: none.

Building Use and Maintenance: The County sent the contract with DHHS for the Senior
Center, which runs from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011. The Board questioned the cost of having the senior meals, versus the monthly rent income. It is costing the Town more than it is making, but the Board does not want to stop this important service for our senior residents. Motion Elsner/ second Wilz, to renew for 2011, including a note to the County that we would like to negotiate the monthly rent for 2012, as it has not been increased for many years. Motion Carried.

Road Report/Maintenance Work: Elsner reports we are on the list for the Brush Hog, with Oak Road and Swamp Road both needing attention. The Board discussed the yearly problem of residents plowing snow across the town road to get it out of their driveway. It is still against the law to do so, and would like to remind residents of the problems this causes. Also discussed was the request to add Progress Road to the list of priority roads for snow removal. Elsner will check into the feasibility of this road being picked up earlier on the route and report back next month.

2011 District Meetings: to be held March 2, 2011 at Marion. Board members were encouraged to plan to attend. The Clerk will bring up next month, as the reservations will need to be made by late February. The cost is 45.00 per attendee.

Election Update: There will be a Spring Primary Election on February 15, 2011. Due to the fact that it will be for one ballot, one elected position, the Voting Machine will not be used. Paper Ballots will be the only method available, to save money. The last Spring Primary that compares only had 50 voters.

Budget Amendments: Motion Elsner/ second Kolosso, to accept the Budget Amendments for the 2010 ending balances. Motion Carried. The Amendments approved are as follows:
Transfer $1123.71 from Roads Account to General Government Account.
Transfer $1534.36 from the Roads Account to the Fire and Ambulance Account.
Transfer $552.19 from Recreation Account to the Contingency Account.
Transfer $565.22 from the Comprehensive Planning Acct. to the Contingency Account.

That the Sum of $75,185.90 is herby transferred to the Contingency Account, bringing
That balance to $84,755.85.
That the Sum of $47,212.00 is herby designated as the amended amount for the
Cash Carryover Account for the end of 2010.

Visitors:
Helen Emslander was present to ask the Board why we have a Deputy Zoning Administrator ,and if this is a duplication of services, as the County does the same.(Clerk's note, this was edited, and is pending approval by the Board). The Clerk stated the Deputy Zoning Administrator duties and position started before the memory of the Board members present, Smith estimated 30 plus years ago, and that with the resignation of Mr. Prellwitz, the position will not be continued.

Building Use and Maintenance: Everything is running well in the Town Hall. The Chair put wraps on the inside of the windows in the Senior Center, and it has helped dramatically In keeping it warm. Smith stated the Board may want to think about new windows in the Senior Center in the near future, as the present ones are single pane windows and not very efficient.

Meeting Proceedings

November 9, 2010

Chairman Kolosso called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Open Meeting Statement was read. Officials present were: Elsner, Wilz, Moede, Beyer and Prellwitz. Smith arrived at 7:25 p.m. There were three residents and Sheriff Brad Hardel present.

Motion Elsner/ second Wilz to approve the Agenda, motion Carried.

Motion Wilz/ second Elsner, to accept October Minutes as written. Carried.

Motion Elsner/ second Wilz, to accept Treasurers Report. Carried.

Moede Reported the resolution of the pig problem on County B. A dog picked up by a Fed-Ex route driver, he took it to Wolf River Vet Clinic; they will adopt it out. All of the signs have been put up. New sign ordered for North Rail Road and Spring Creek intersection. Discussion of the need for new signs on the West side of Little Wolf, many are in need of replacement. Motion Kolosso, second Wilz, to order the necessary signs and replace them. Carried. Motion Elsner/ second Wilz to accept Constables report. Carried.

Visitors: Sheriff Hardel was present at the Boards request, to discuss the ongoing problem with semis on County Yard Road, Shop Streeet. Kolosso asked Donald Knutsen to share with the Sheriff the experiences he has had on the road, as he lives there. Knutsen also stated the amount of speeders on the road at certain times of the day, occurring at shift change times. Hardel stated he has informed his deputies that the town would like to have the road limits enforced, but has received no calls since August, no complaints regarding the roads mentioned. The Sheriffs Department has only 3 cars covering the whole county at one time, if there are no call ins, those deputies are patrolling county-wide. As for the incident in July, when Wilz herself called the Sheriffs Department, no citations were given then, but written warnings were issued. If citations are written, they are painful fines, as they go by the weight of the load, and some fines can be as steep at $5000.00. The Sheriff reminded those present, they need to call in when a truck is seen on County Yard Road, and some kind of description given, so the Department can better locate the truck. The Sheriff also stated he would like to have a good working relationship with the Town. Complaints need to be called in, so they can be documented, and those high complaint areas can be addressed with the Patrol Scheduling. Hardel also stated a visit to Sturm Foods was in order, to discuss how to educate the drivers on the legal routes. With the Sheriff present, Carol Mauser was asked to voice her grievance with the toilet papering on her street, River Street. Her neighbors are teachers, and are popular stops on the Homecoming TP tradition. She has had much mess to pick up, and feels it is excessive waste, and littering. She asked if the Town would consider an Ordinance to stop the toilet papering. The Board stated an Ordinance is a costly way to go, and would prefer sending a letter to the neighbor, asking him to be more considerate and clean up quicker. The Clerk was asked to send a letter.

Recycling Meeeting Update: Chairman Kolosso attended the annual Recycling Budget meeting, and was given some handouts regarding the garbage collection system Iola is using, where the residents buy the garbage bag, and bring to the collection site. Kolosso thought it was worthy of the Boards attention. Clerk will make copies for board members, and they will review next month.

Comprehensive Planning: Beyer reported there has been a request for a change in the Zoning by a resident. It is a very involved process, starting with a Resolution to Amend the Comprehensive Plan. This requires a Public Hearing, and Adoption by the Town Board. There will be a meeting of the Planning Commisson on November 16, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. to start the process. Watch for the meeting notices at the posting places, and in the County Post East.

Building Permits: Prellwitz reported there were no permits this month. Kolosso requested an explanation of why Prellwitz filled out a Land Use Permit, now that it is County Zonings job. Prellwitz stated Kolosso could keep his job, and left the Boardroom.

UDC Inspection Reports: none.

CSM Map : Map was reviewed, Motion Elsner, second Wilz, to approve. Carried.

Fire Numbers: none this month.

Fire and Ambulance Report: Steingraber reported the Budget for Fire and Ambulance passed without incident. There were no increases for either budget. Fire calls as of October 25 were 66. Ambulance runs were 285, up from 260 at this time last year.

Building Use and Maintenance: The Hall septic tank was pumped, as the water in the restrooms was not going down, and coming up on the floor drain. The tank was not full, but the baffles were plugged. Lorge plumbing was called and got the line unplugged. It was plugged with grease. The Chair will ask the Senior Center ladies to dispose of the greasy waste somehow other than down the sink. The garbage disposal was also discussed, and suggested to run more water after using the disposal. The propane tank level is at 65%.

Roads: Jim Hass has agreed to plow the Town Hall parking lot for the same price as last year, and Jim Secard will do Pin Oak for the same price as last year. The Service Agreement with Waupaca County was discussed. It was a choice of 1 year, 3 year and 5 year. There was no price break on services for the different year terms, but Elsner stated the Towns with contracts of minimum service do get a price break on sand and salt, and gravel patch, so it is advantageous to have a contract. Motion Kolosso, second Wilz, to go with the 1 year contract. Carried.

Update on the Dam: Beyer stated she talked with Cheryl Hass, and Hass said the normal $2500.00 for the Budget would be sufficient for the Dam for the next year. The City has had a State inspection done on the Dam, and they are awaiting the results of that inspection. Beyer and Hass will keep in contact about the progress.

Amend 2010 Budget: Motion Elsner, second Kolosso, to amend the 2010 Budget, moving $700.00 from Recreation to Comprehensive Planning. Motion Carried.

Wadzinski advised the Board check into abatement orders of neglected animals. The Clerk will check into the matter, and share findings at the November meeting.

Sheriff Brad Hardel attended at the Boards invite, to talk to the Board about his platform for re-election. Hardel cited his passion for making Waupaca County a safe place for all of its citizens, and his open door policy for all.
Supervisor Wilz took up the issue of lack of enforcement of posted roads in the Town of Little Wolf, using an example of County Yard Road, and semis using that road, when it is clearly posted on both ends. The Sheriffs Department was called and no citations were given. Hardel stated he would check into the matter, and the Town requested the postings on that road be enforced from now on, to protect our roads.

Hardel responded the Town should call the Sheriffs Department and discuss any issues in future.

Business:

Fire and Ambulance Report: none.
Ordinances: Kolosso asked the County Supervisors about the enforcement of the Ordinance regarding junk vehicles in the Town. They responded there is an Ordinance, and the Town needs to notify the county of the addresses of the residents in violation. The County sends out compliance letters. Kolosso will get the list to the County.
Building Use and Maintenance: The Clerk will be coordinating the cleaning of the Town Hall and Board Room with the students wishing to work for their Community Service Credits for graduation, and the floors and other work will be done by Julians Cleaning as per the boards previous approval.

Supervisor Craig advised the Town check into whether a public access can be reversed at all. The Clerk will contact the Towns Association regarding this matter.
The Clerk received a call from Cheryl Hass, City Clerk, regarding why the no parking signs were put up on the corners of Shop and Pine, a question from Police Chief Walker. Elsner stated the signs were actually requested by the Manawa Dept. of Public Works, when there was a resident using the street to park his semi, and it made a problem with snow removal. The Town prefers to leave the signs up.
Chairman Kolosso gave a list of road signs that need attention, to the Constable. The Clerk will contact the Towns Association regarding any possible grants for road signs, to update the towns signage.
Bill Dallman, asked to bring to the attention of residents the fact that any landowner that has reflectors to mark driveways or mailboxes, should be aware that if they are yellow or red, and someone has an accident, the landowner is liable for damages. To protect yourself, you should remove the yellow or red reflectors and replace them with blue or green at once.
The question of notifying emergency services of road maintenance being done came up. The Town does not have to notify the Fire, Ambulance or Sheriffs dept. when road work is being done, UNLESS it is a total road closure. If the road is passable, one lane, they do not have to notify.

The Clerk reminded all to vote at the upcoming Primary Election on September 14, 2010. The Town Board meeting will need to be moved to a week early due to the Election.

Carl explained the application for grant monies is benefited by being able to list as many partners in the effort as possible. The Trail supporters would like to do some grading of the hill behind the Town Hall, where it comes off Duncan Becks property, to make it more safe. This would also extend the Trail through the Town Hall property, to come out on County N.

Comprehensive Planning: Beyer reported on the Public Hearing that was attended by herself, Prellwitz and Chairman Kolosso on May 6, addressing the proposed Zoning Ordinance for Waupaca County . There was a lot of comment on the elimination of the Deputy Zoning Administrator positions with the adoption of the new Zoning Ordinance. Beyer stated that it would make sense, if the County is to be doing all of the Zoning, that there not be satellite deputy zoning administrators in the County. This does not mean, however, that the Town does not have authority to require building permits for any improvements made on properties in the Town. The Town needs to motion the appointment of a Building Inspector for the permit process. The person will be appointed by the Chairman, as was the Deputy Zoning Administrator, and would have specific duties as determined by the Board. The Town would also set the fees for the permits. These items will be taken up by the Board at the June meeting. Motion by Elsner/ second Wilz

That a Building Inspector be appointed by the Board, and duties and fees associated with that position be moved on at the June meeting. Carried.Lowell Prellwitz will continue with the duties in the interim.

Beyer stated that it seems a waste of money for the Town to have the committee meet if there is not an item on the agenda to meet for. Motion Elsner/ second Wilz, that the Planning Commission Chairperson make the decision of when a meeting is necessary. Carried. The Public Information Meeting regarding the proposed Zoning Districts in the Town, which was noticed by the mailing of postcards to residents, was attended by around 30 residents, and the Board, and the Planning Commission. Beyer has been responding to questions from residents that came up at the meeting, and feels most residents that attended are satisfied with the proposed zoning. Beyer stated if there are any other residents with questions, they can call her and ask them.

Building Permits: Prellwitz issued 3 permits to residents, one for a garage remodel and two for driveways.

UDC Inspection Report: none.

Fire Numbers: none.

Fire and Ambulance: Steingraber reports as of April 1, 2010 , the new secretary started. Ambulance runs are up from last year, 97 to 105. Nine Fire Calls in the town so far. Total incidents of 23, with a response time of 10.78 minutes on scene. The billing of the Town to residents for fire calls is being questioned, the Clerk will be checking the ordinances to make sure all has been done correctly.

Junk Cars: This item was put on the agenda at the request of the Chairman, and will be discussed next month due to his absence. He asked the Board members be observant in the time between meetings, watching for violations of the ordinance.

Building Use and Maintenance: Two quotes on cleaning the Town Hall were received at meeting time, the Board decided to wait till next month to decide, to give others more time to offer quotes.

Road Report and Maintenance Work: Tim Loehrke was present to answer any questions about the proposed cul-de-sac on his property. The Board will be in contact with the Town of Lebanon and the Loehrkes, to determine the actual size required to make the cul-de-sac.The Board posted signs on County Yard and Shop street , 6 ton weight limit.

Ferg had approached the Clerk about this matter, as the Clerk does the scheduling of Hall Rental, but the Clerk felt the Board should weigh in on this matter, as it is more than a one-day rental.

  January 25, 2010

  
  

  Meeting was called to order by Planning commission Chairperson Beyer at 6:32 p.m.

  Open meeting statement was read, meeting posted at the Town Hall,

  Manawa Area Recycling Center and Cedar Springs Golf Course. Officials present were Town Chairman Kolosso, Supervisor Wilz, Jackie Beyer, and Planning Commission membersTammy Arndt and Ken Theine. John Williams represented Foth and Van Dyke.

  Motion by Wilz, Second by Kolosso to approve Agenda. Motion Carried.

  Mr. Williams stated his intent of this meeting is to make sure the Town representatives understand the options / decisions / and next steps, along with their respective impact on our Town. The county Draft Zoning Ordinance is on the Waupaca County website since July. The main issue is that we need to understand the County Code , and how the options work.

  Option #1: Zoning District Name changes only.

  Option #2: Name Changes and Plan Implementation (with boundary changes)

  Option #3: Name Changes and Future Plan Implementation (no boundary changes)

  Or the Town can choose to create a Hybrid of these choices.

  Our Town chose to go with the Hybrid. Using the Preferred Land Use map that the Planning Commission created, and converting the already approved Zoning Districts to coincide with the Countys Zoning Districts, making it easier for everyone to understand. The Planning Commission feels it is necessary to make the new Zoning User friendly for the residents.

  Williams used the Preferred Land Use Map to compare to the Proposed County Zoning to illustrate the conversion of zoning districts. An example used was the conversion of anything colored dark brown to Ag Enterprise; this will keep the development density to 1 unit per 40 acre, as was adopted by the Town.

  The next steps for the Planning Commission is to attain the necessary maps from the County, Mrs. Beyer will take care of that. The Conditional uses within the Town are also to be reviewed at this time. These properties will be evaluated and considered for conversion. The Planning Commission will meet to make the Zoning Conversions necessary, after which the County will make the new maps reflecting the revisions. The Commission will meet when the new map is done, to check the revisions and make any further corrections if necessary.

  Once these steps are completed, the Town will be ready for the Public Information meeting, to present this to the residents. The UWEX at Waupaca will be coordinating the use of postcards to residents to inform them of the meeting date and time.

  The next meeting of the Planning Commission will be held at the Town Hall on Thursday, February 11, 2010 , at 6:30 p.m.

  Motion Wilz, seconded by Arndt, to adjourn. Motion Carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:33 p.m.

They may not enter a building, however, unless the owner is present. Pfankuch also talked to the Board about the proposed County Assessment the Department of Revenue would like to pass. It is to be a 5 year plan to move all of the assessing to the County to administer. It is opposed by many. The Town Board also opposes it, as it will increase cost to the taxpayer, by creating a new department at the County level, and there are many questions not being answered at this time, as far as how it will actually work. Pfankuch will keep us updated, via email to the Clerk, as information becomes available.
