August meeting, 2004:
Minutes of July meeting were approved.
Information was presented to the Board
on Brookside Estates II. The developer would like to
go ahead with phase II, which won
preliminary approval from the Town Board back in 1998.
Chairman Jerry
Wall advised on what would be needed on the roads within the
subdivision.
The developer wanted to dedicate the
pond to the town, and the town refused the offer.
Holland Heights was handled the same way.
After the subdivision is complete, the town will
take over the maintenance of the
roads. The
plans are awaiting approval
from the Brown
County board, so the Board decided they will hold
off until next month to consider final
approval.
Bills were approved and paid.
Jerry discussed a new bid for gravel
from Michaels.
The town will be paid approximately
$53900 from WE Energies for installation of approximately
4 miles of a high voltage
transmission line through the township. They will attend the next
meeting to
discuss it with the board in greater detail. The
installation will start in November.
The Board voted and approved a
permanent change in the voting hours, starting in
September. The
polls will open at 7 a.m. and will close at 8 p.m. The rate
paid to the election workers will
be adjusted accordingly. The change was made to accomodate
those who
commute to work every day, so that they can vote on
their way to work.
The Board was advised by Mike
Parmentier of the Brown County Planning Commission that
the town is
required to hold a joint Citizens Advisory Board Meeting with the
adjoining towns. It was decided
that the meeting would be held on Monday, August 23, 2004, at St. Pat's
Church, to discuss the
"collaboration of services" issue.
Bill Clancy advised that there was a
proposal in front of the Brown County Board to assess
the communties
for their "share" of the maintenance costs of the thru highways
that share
commercial traffic. The board discussed this issue, and it was
decided that Town Clerk
Clancy will
object to the proposal.
We also discussed insurance issues
regarding the Askeaton Softball Club, LLC's use of the
Hollandtown
ball diamond and the selling of beer at the games. The board is
looking into
what the town's insurance covers and possibly
requiring the club to procure insurance to
cover the games.
