Chairman's Report:
Signs for lowering speed limit to 45 on Leggate Road are in place. Received phone call regarding trucks (Udeen
Trucking) on Baumgartner Road which are tearing up the road due to load limits placed on Cty. A. Called Udeen and
they said to haul whatever gravel is needed from their pit to fix road. Blading and grading is also being done
as needed.
Comprehensive Land Use Planning Report:
Next meeting will be June 11th at 1:00 PM at Town of Superior hall.
Old Business:
A. Regarding access to Gustafson Road which Chris Reid is asking for, nobody was here from the Reid family.
B. Received letter from WisDOT regarding TRIP funds which we have previously secured for projects on the Baumgartner
Road. Ron signed letter saying we still plan on using these funds. Roger will get with Bill & Dale to see if
we can do a substitution of projects. May be able to use these funds as part of a project to put in a box culvert
over Copper Creek and straighten that part of the road.
C. Bids were opened for gravel. Udeen Trucking - $4.15 ton (labor and materials), J. Kimmes Construction - $4.20
ton (no lime added), and Johnson Materials - $4.40 ton (does not include labor or operator). Motion was made by
LeTourneau and second by Dalbec to accept Udeen Trucking bid of $4.15/ton. Motion unanimously approved.
D. Re appointment of second constable, Ron instructed Clerk to post before next meeting to see if anyone was interested.
Item will be put on agenda for next month.
E. Received Letter of Credit (for all costs involved to date up to $50,000) and Development Agreement from Nathan
Thompson requested from him for the landlocked property hearing which took place on April 29th. At that hearing,
Town voted to lay out a highway for Mr. Thompson. Ken Butler, attorney for the Town, has looked over the documents
and finds all in accordance with regulations. However, no construction will begin until all fees have been paid
and a new Letter of Credit is issued to the Town for construction costs. Board signed documents received. The next
phase of this procedure will be for Nathan to present appraisals and surveys, easement information, etc. For the
next meeting. Will be put on enxt month's agenda.
New Business:
A. Richard Lieble has applied for a variance to locate an access driveway within the 300 foot spacing requirement
of an existing driveway on a county road. After discussion, there being no objections, motion was made by LeTourneau
and second by Dalbec to approve application as presented. Motion unanimously approved.
B. As the assessment roll is not finished for the year 2008, the first session of the Board of Review will be held
on Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 6:00 PM to adjourn to a later date in July.
C. Motion was made by Dalbec and second by LeTourneau to put in request for an additional $5,000 for County Aid
to Bridges for the Dedham Bridge, bringing our request up to a total of $75,000 (town's share of future Dedham
Bridge replacement). Motion unanimously approved.
D. As a lot of the people the Town deals with are now requesting that Internet be used, Supervisor LeTourneau has
been looking into Internet service for the clerk's office. He estimates costs to run between $1200-$1500 for the
complete hookup. Motion was made by Dalbec and second by LeTourneau to spend up to $1,500 for the project. Motion
unanimously approved. It was suggested that we contact the local university, because as part of their internship,
they may be able to help us convert some of our present information to disc.
E. Roger suggested that we should look into doing some type of award ceremony in recognition of services performed
by an outstanding citizen volunteer, firefighter, EMT, etc.
Other Matters of General Interest:
Dale Johnson figured out that by accepting Udeen gravel bid over next lowest bid, that we would save approximately
$900/mile at $.05/ton.
Regarding problems with the exhaust system in the garage, we will contact installer for an instruction booklet.
The town hall needs covers for the heating and air conditioning thermostats. Roger will look into this.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:35 P.M.
