Mercer Town Board of Supervisors – December 2nd 2010 – Minutes
Chairman Kichak called the meeting of the Town of Mercer Board of Supervisors to order Thursday December 2nd 2010 at 6:30 pm in the Haines Civic Building (Town Hall).
Roll Call: Jim Kichak, Jim Lambert, Jeff Stenberg, Bonnie Banaszak, Charles Schroepfer, Christan Brandt, and Opal Roberts. Absent: Atty Schellgell
Motion made by Banaszak, seconded by Stenberg, to approve the minutes from the November 17th Budget Hearing and the November 18th Public Hearing and Town Board meeting. Carried.
Open comment: Dianne Keefe suggested the board obtain the easement from the Catholic Church for the boat landing parking before Father Mike leaves on December 24th.
New Business: none
Highway 51 Project report: the board needs to review the transportation plan changes before the meeting on January 11th in Rhinelander. EMCS asked if the town wanted the old street signs stockpiled or discarded. The town will store the signs at the garage in case they are needed in the future. Blake is recommending, what is typical, that the town order one extra short and tall light in case of damage. It can be difficult to obtain a replacement light when needed. Banaszak asked him about Christmas decorations and he said he will work with EMCS on this. There will be a 90% meeting in Rhinelander on January 11th so board members should be there. An email was received from EPA yesterday about the grant application. Stoffel had submitted an application for the grant in 2009, but because it has changed so much since ’09 an updated application needs to be filed. She will do as much of the application as possible but CWE will need to do the technical sections. The “In This Together” meeting is next Wednesday night at 6:00 pm at the Community Center. Board members who can should attend to answer questions the businesses and property owners may have.
Old Business: a) Discuss/Approve contamination site engineers.
Banaszak had re-contacted AECOM to ask for a more comprehensive quote for the contamination site. They replied that they were too busy to take on the project. She told the CWE engineer that the town will do any work they are permitted to for this site clean-up.
Motion made by Banaszak, seconded by Schroepfer, to select CWE as the engineers for the contamination site project. Carried.
Legal: none.
Officer Reports: Clerk’s Report - Roberts presented the receipts list, and vouchers.
Motion made by Lambert, seconded by Stenberg, to approve the vouchers and issue the checks. Carried.
The Fire Department payroll was over budget by about $10,000. $2,000 was covered by a reimbursement from the DNR for several fires this summer. The remainder was due to the July tornado. We may or may not get FEMA funds for this. MSA sent a letter with information on the progress of the Sanitary District project for the Highway 51 reconstruction. The Bad River Watershed Association sent a letter asking for a donation.
Treasurer’s Report – Brandt presented the Treasurer’s report. The General Account has a balance of $171,610.57. Total of all funds is $1,469,319.52.
Motion made by Lambert, seconded by Schroepfer, to approve the Treasurer’s report. Carried.
Board Reports: Chair/Garage reports: the crew is using up vacations days during this slow time. They are cleaning up trees and debris along the road sides. The old truck is almost ready to put up for sale. Suggested price is about $14,000. Miljevich paid the town $8,362.96 for the stumpage at the gravel pit.
Supervisors: Stenberg – Mercer Valve in the Business Park is working on the business there and may be hiring in the spring.
Lambert – he had a couple of calls about an individual on West Echo Lake Road who was harassing ATVers because there is no ATV sign there. He had the garage install an ATV sign on West Echo.
Banaszak – none
Schroepfer – asked Banaszak if there is any progress on the CDBG application. She contacted the DOC and was told that it looks good but whether it will be for the full amount is in question. Quality Heating will be installing the new heating unit at the old garage on the 9th. He asked about the progress on the work Fink is supposed to do for the town.
Public Comment: Kathy Tutt stated that the Sherman Board tabled the subject of the student transfers at their last board meeting. She told Luke that if this needs a referendum it has to be done in time to get this on the election in April. Stenberg said the Town of Sherman has done nothing on this. Lambert said if the Mercer school wants these students they should spearhead this project.
For Consideration and Approval: Liquor License/Operator License: none
Cemetery Deed: none
