ROAD NAME SIGNS: Bruce stated to comply with State of Wisconsin
mandates, road name signs will need to be replaced to be the larger
size (9”) by 2012. Bruce has compiled 3 options: Option #1—Replace
all signs at each intersection, i.e. Hwy G and 41st St, Hwy G and 2nd
Ave, with the 6” lettering. This would require 56 signs just for
intersections with Hwy G, 14 signs along Hwy 58, 16 signs along 38th
St, etc. Option #2—Replace signs only at main intersections with two
signs, i.e. Hwy 58 and Hwy G, Hwy G and 17th Ave, Hwy G and 19th Ave.
with 6’ lettering. This would require 22 signs. Option #3: On roads
with speed limits less than 45 mph, replace street signs with the
smaller 3” lettering using the 2 options above. Motion was made by
Jax to replace the road name signs with dual signage starting on major
roads first, 2nd by Poe. Motion Carried.

CLASS B COMBO—SOUTH SHORE: Manson has received an application for a
Class B Combo liquor license from South Shore Operations LLC with K &
M Shores LLC as it’s agent. Curran stated that a LLC cannot be an
agent—must be individual/s. South Shore Operations LLC filled out
another application naming Michelle Housworth and Kevin Andraska as
their agents. Upon Town Officer Green doing background checks, it came
to the board’s attention that both applications failed to disclose
prior offenses. The application was then amended yesterday. Manson
stated that the current liquor license of South Shore had been
approved at the August 12, 2008 with Michael Polsky (court appointed
receiver) as agent, but it was never issued because no one ever paid
the fees required. Poe questioned if this still was a valid liquor
license? Curran stated yes, as long as Michael Polsky would agree to
continue to be the agent. Dan Feick, (member of South Shore
Operations LLC) stated that at the closing, the liquor license was to
go in/out of the receivership. Feick questioned, “could the license be
approved with a new agent that met the qualifications?” Curran stated
“yes, but the board does not have another scheduled board meeting
until June 9, 2009 and could not do that at this meeting. Polsky has
the controlling license, if he surrenders control—a new agent would be
responsible to meet the qualifications, but at this time, nothing has
been provided to the board”. Curran stated that Polsky can hold,
surrender, or assign its current liquor license. Michelle Housworth
gave the board her background and stated, “the application was hard to
understand.” Housworth stated, “ only 1 DWI.” Poe stated, “that what
Officer Green found in the Housworth’s background check was 2 DWIs,”
she acknowledged 2. Specht commented to get someone else as their
agent with no record. Kevin Andraska also gave the board his
background, he acknowledged 2 prior offenses. Poe stated that these
agents do not meet the criteria to be the agents.
Supervisor Boyle left the Town Board meeting at 2:04p.m.
Motion was made by Poe to deny the liquor license of South Shore
Operations, LLC, at applicant (Dan Feick) request, Poe withdrew his
motion. Motion was made by Jax to table the liquor license of South
Shore Operations, LLC, 2nd by Poe. Motion Carried.
LIQUOR OPERATOR LICENSES; MICHELLE HOUSWORTH—KEVIN ADRASKA—GEORGIA
HULSE—DONNETTE DENMAN—TINA LOSSAU: Motion was made by Poe to approve

Poe. Motion Carried. Motion was made by Specht to deny a liquor
operator’s license to Kevin Andraska, 2nd by Poe. Motion Carried.
Board asked Attorney Curran his opinion if Ordinance 45 (State
Criminal Statutes Ordinance) would need a Public Hearing? Curran will

was made by Poe to table until the June 9, 2009 regular board meeting,
2nd by Specht. Motion Carried. Board also asked Attorney Curran what
was the proper way to dispose of the old constables handguns. Curran
stated in WI State Statutes 60.10 the annual meeting gives the town
