PUBLIC COMMENTS: Travis Berg asked the Chairman about the minutes
from the July 20 meeting where the Clerk put in that he yelled, he
wants the Chairman to amend the minutes and take the word yelled out,
Chairman Sedlacek said those minutes were read at the August meeting
and a motion was made with an approval of all board members, He said
the minutes will not be changed. Travis said the clerk is bias and
picks sides and puts in what she wants, Chairman Sedlacek said we are
not going to go back and change minutes because of a word someone
doesn’t like.
Travis said what is on the tape should be on the minutes, the clerk is
not putting in what was said, Chairman Sedlacek said he feels that the
clerk is not bias. Travis continued to argue with the Chairman.
He was told that was enough and Travis said no and continued to argue.
Travis was told he could leave and he said no, he was told again that
he could leave and he refused. Pete Logge also spoke and said that he
agreed with Travis and that the clerk puts in what she wants.
Walter Knorn asked if the board heard anything from Waste Management

Jeff Bowe asked about the Conditional use Permit for the Squadron and
the Chairman said that it was not approved at the zoning hearing. The
county needs more info. also asked if he heard the treasurer correctly
that the total money we have is around $20,000.00 Ruth said yes but
all are big bills are paid and in Oct. we get $50,000.00 and in Nov.
another big check from the state.
TOWN BUSINESS:
Discuss what the board would like in the Fire Dept. Procedure booklet:
Bonnie said she would like to see several items in the booklet:
Applications, Screening, Background checks, and proof of auto
insurance. She has worked with a lot of non-profit groups, and even at
the court house all volunteers have to show proof of Ins., Bonnie also
stated she went to a couple of Towns Association meetings on Volunteer
Firefighters and they stressed doing screenings and background checks,
Jeff said he does the background checks. The chairman said you have to
have certain information or your Ins. carrier would not have to renew
you. He also said Jeff should get together with Town Attorney Gibbs
and get the procedural booklet going, even though it is a busy time
for him right now.

dept.Expenses seconded by Bonnie.

Grant info: Dennis Ferstenou spoke and said 6 weeks ago at a Planning
Commission meeting he volunteered to see what was available for grants
to fix up the town hall, town shop and fire dept. He found a couple,
US Rural Development and Wis. Dept of Commerce however we are not
eligible because the household income is too high. We do qualify for a
Stimulus Grant / Energy Conservation Block Grant.
This consists of windows, lighting, heating, insulation. Would also
have to apply for a Focus on Energy
Grant, application is due in October so we should have time to get it
in. He feels we are at a point where a decision needs to be made if
the town is going to remodel or rebuild and it should be taken to the
people and let them decide what we should do. Chuck and Dennis asked
the board to approve hiring Ayres Associates again since they drew up
plans a few years ago and can revise it. Dennis said he figures 3
meetings with an hourly charge not to exceed $ 3,900.00. Dennis and
Chuck said we have to have a plan with a cost to apply for grants and
get a vote from the people. 3 % of grant can be used for
administration cost. Chuck said an asbestos study would also have to
done, approximate cost from Airtech Technologies would be Hall: $
1285.00, Shop / fire dept.: $ 435.00 a lead study would also have to
be done but not at this time. Dennis would like township companies to
be used if possible, Jeff Bowe said probably should get it done and
John Rasmus said it’s a good opportunity with stimulus money and since
Dennis volunteered to fill out the grant application.
