3. PUBLIC FORUM

Winnebago County Circuit Judge William Carver, who is seeking re-election on the April 6^th ballot, introduced himself to all present stating his qualifications and 30-years of experience.

Residents Brian & Kathy Sitzberger appeared again asking for help with the drainage ditch on Cooke Rd. & Cty. II. They presented pictures of the debris that collects in the grating thus creating flooding in the area. He requested the town send a letter to the neighborhood residents asking them to try to keep the ditch free of grass clippings, branches and other debris that obstruct water from flowing through the grates. Mr. Sitzberger stated this has been an on-going problem and he had cleaned the ditch, culverts and grates a number of times. He also suggested a concrete basin thus preventing the water from backing up. Chairman Tews stated he would look into the problem.

Resident Harold Delrow 1431 Manitowoc again complained of water problems from the back ditch that is shared between the c/Menasha & t/Menasha. Chairman Tews stated town staff is still working on this problem.

Resident Jerry LaMotte 1365 Cold Spring Rd. again requested the town lower a portion of the roadway from 35 m.p.h. to 25 m.p.h. Chief Rod McCants reported a speed study survey (see attached) taken with the town’s S.M.A.R.T. and stated he felt vehicles were driving appropriately for the Cold Spring collector however, stated it would be up to the town board members to make any changes.

Resident Jeff Conger presented a petition with 84 signatures asking the town board to leave the speed limit on Cold Spring at 35 m.p.h. Chairman Tews requested 30 days to study the issue further and at that time, a resolution will be prepared for a decision.
