Resident Tina Johnson requested an amendment
to the town’s ordinance 6.46 whereas more than 15 minutes would be allowed for
school bus parking in her driveway.
Ms. Johnson told the board of her difficulty trying to care for two
young children and the need for a bit more time for parking. Clerk Krueger suggested to the board that,
perhaps the time could be expanded to two hours in driveways only. Chairman Tews stated the board had struggled
with this type of vehicle parking for many years and the present ordinance was
put in place after a great deal of thought and investigation although he stated
the board would look into the request further.
Resident William Ottow,
Dunning St., commented on the M.E.E. multi-family project information, which he
had received, and felt unsatisfied. In
researching the issue, Mr. Ottow felt none of the reasons for denial made much
sense and further stated, that after investigation, he now believes the name
change is a very good idea.
IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS: a) Change Order for Installation
of Generator at Fire Station #41
Chief
Kiesow explained circuit breaker boxes/ emergency power/ switches. Chief Kiesow will try to find funding in his
budget for these change orders.
