OLD BUSINESS: Jax reported that the Town is presently putting
together information regarding the new Public Works Building—proposing
a 50’ x 100’ building located near the Town’s storage shed (N7645 17th
Avenue) and also a 3-sided sand/salt storage building. No date of yet
has been set for a public hearing. A public hearing for the Rock
Island PUD is set for April 22, 2009 at 6:00p.m. Rosetta Boyle would
like the Community Centers tables replaced, is this something the Town
can pursue? The present ones are not in very good shape. Bill Bruce
stated that the tables have been patched up several times and agrees
that the Town Board should pursue. Advisory Motion by Rosetta Boyle
for the Town to obtain new tables, 2nd by Bill Bruce. Voice Vote
taken. Advisory Motion Carried.
NEW BUSINESS: Michael Poe stated that the Town of Germantown has been
discussing a future Public Works building next to the current Town’s
storage shed building. At the Board’s April 14, 2009 meeting an
architect was employed to develop plans. The land where the building
is proposed requires fill to raise the elevation. Upon hearing this,
Brad and Pat Pavloski who own land west of our site, have offered to
donate the fill and the labor and use of equipment to move the fill to
our site. Their only request is a receipt or letter of
acknowledgement for tax purposes. The reason Poe brought this issue
up is because the Pavloski’s and their various businesses request
approval of projects via the Planning Commission and Town Board and
he would like the citizens decide if this action is appropriate. This
action can be taken pursuant to Wisconsin State Statutes 60.10 (f)
accept contributions of money, labor, or space for the purpose of
constructing town buildings. Motion by Poe to direct the Town Board
to accept the donation of the goods and services required for
providing and moving fill to a future town building site from Brad and
Pat Pavloski, 2nd by Specht. Discussion followed: Keith Korbein
thought it was a good offer and to accept it. Jax stated that this
will take a lot of fill, and agreed to accept. Poe also stated that
Pavloski’s work with the DNR and knows if this is a wet land area.
Voice Vote taken. Motion Carried. Jax reported that the
snowplowing/sanding of the town roads with the recently purchased plow
truck was going very well, it has created a substantial savings to the
Town of Germantown tax payers and the town roads are getting plowed in
a more timely fashion.
SET DATE FOR 2010 ANNUAL MEETING: Michaele Korbein requested the
annual meeting be moved to a week-day, instead of on the week-end.
Dave Specht stated the reason the annual meeting was held on a
week-end was to involve the out-of-town land owners if they want to
voice their opinions. Manson/Uphoff stated that the annual meeting
must be held per Wisconsin State Statutes, the second Tuesday of April
or within a 10-day period following the second Tuesday of April. By a
show of hands it was approved to leave the annual meeting on the
week-end 7/2 with 1 abstaining and 3 unable to vote. Saturday, April
16, 2010 at 10:00a.m. was set for next annual meeting.
ADJOURN MEETING: Motion by Specht to adjourn the annual meeting at
10:30a.m., 2nd by Bill Drees. Voice Vote taken. Motion Carried.
