March 12, 2007 Monthly Meeting
TOWN OF FOND DU LAC
FOND DU LAC COUNTY
MONTHLY MEETING
MARCH 12, 2007
7:00 PM
The Monthly Meeting was called to order by Chairman Harold Manske.
Present were Chairman Manske, Supervisors Phyllis Giese and LeRoy
Schmitz, Clerk Patti Supple, Treasurer Mel Buechel, Attorney John St.
Peter, and various Town residents. Confirmation was made of open
meeting notice. Minutes from the previous meeting were approved as
presented.
Jerry Keenan asked for clarification of the water tower meeting with
Kaempfer & Associates. Chairman Manske reported that he met with
Attorney St. Peter, Chris Kaempfer, and Mike Tolvstad in Attorney St.
Peters office where they had a conference call with Dave Wagner. Mr.
Keenan also was concerned that the minutes from the last meeting
indicated that “at this time there are no plans to access anyone
outside of the district.” He stated that he understood that the money
would come only from residents who were able to hook up to the water
system. Chairman Manske stated that the money will come from those
residents within the proposed utility district. Attorney St. Peter
added that the boundaries of the utility district would not
necessarily coincide with the sanitary district.
County Supervisor Mike Gannon reported that the reapportionment
committee had met one time to discuss the new districts for the 18
member county board. Clerk Supple requested that Mr. Gannon try to
keep the Town as one area. Mr. Gannon recommended contacting Carol
Roessler to report any concerns about the Highway 151 bypass.
Duncan Seffern requested that the Town check into Town wide garbage
pickup due to the new billing fees imposed by Waste Management.
Attorney St. Peter noted the Town Board can contract the pickup and
bill residents on their tax bills.
Tony Koenigs noted that he attended the meeting concerning the Highway
151 bypass and was concerned about the DOT recommendations. Fire
Chief Craig Sanborn added that the stop lights should be left at the
Highway 175 intersection, and the proposed overhead be put at the
Highway V intersection. Supervisor Schmitz noted that the bypass was
discussed at the Town’s Association meeting and that bypasses are
supposed to by in place within two to three years at County T and V.
Fire Chief Sanborn added this would be at the Town’s and County’s
cost.
Tony Koenigs noted that he thought the Martin Road Bridge was supposed
to be rerouted into a new location. Chairman Manske reported that the
Bridge will remain in its present location, but will be widened to 40
feet and become an urban bridge. While on paper it remains a Town
project, it will be paid for by the City of Fond du Lac.
It was noted that the proposed construction of apartments on
Esterbrook road has been withdrawn.
Fire Chief Sanborn asked that the Town send a letter to the School
District opposing the construction of a well to fill the ponds at the
new high school. Attorney St. Peter reported he thought this was a
dead issue but will check to make sure.
After discussion, motion was made and seconded to approve the Pauly
deed restriction. Motion carried. The deed restriction will be added
to the CSM recording.
The Refund Interception Guide and Application was explained. This
program would allow the Town to be reimbursed for delinquent property
taxes through the Department of Revenue. Anyone owing delinquent
taxes and due a refund would not receive the refund until the amount
owed on property taxes was subtracted from the refund. Motion was
made and seconded to apply for the refund interception. Motion
carried.
On March 14, 2007 Mr. Manske met with Chris Kaempfer and Mike Tolvstad
to drive through the proposed water utility area. Three potential
sites for the tower were proposed. Mr. Kaempfer will review the
sites, cost analysis and area to be serviced and come up with his
recommendations.
Kay Marschel has signed the form required to release her property for
the construction of the Reinhardt Road Bridge. It is hoped that the
delay in signing the release will not hold up the construction.
The grant of approximately $14,900.00 for the Comprehensive Plan was
received.
Supervisor Schmitz attended the Town’s Association meeting. Topics
discussed were the Highway 151 bypass and the bridge reviews. The
Town of Fond du Lac will be hosting the December meeting.
No Board of Appeals meetings are scheduled. The Planning Commission
will be meeting February 18 to review the Fondy Sports Complex go kart
track expansion.
No annexations.
Proposed road projects for 2007 are Bechaud Beach Road, Garden Drive,
and the Esterbrook cul-de-sac.
No CSM’s.
Motion was made and seconded to approve the operator’s licensed for
Wendy Peters and Kevin Sloan for Aldi’s. Motion carried.
