2. AWARDS/PRESENTATIONS
3. PUBLIC FORUM – NON-AGENDIZED TOWN RELATED MATTERS None
Limited to Ten Minutes – Non-Repetitive Matters
Pursuant to WI State Statutes 19.83(2) and 19.84(2), the public may present matters; however, they cannot
be discussed or acted upon until specific notice of the subject matter of the proposed action can be given.
4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
a) Drain Tile/Drainage-Westfield Condominiums: Several residents from the Westfield Condo Association again requested the town to assist them in solving the water problem that exists in the ditch area on their property. The residents complained that drainage from St. Mary’s Central and Outlook Graphics is causing the water problem and they should really be held responsible. However, this has been going on for years and neither St. Mary’s nor Outlook Graphics seem to want to fix the problem. St. Supt. Gallow stated there are options for solving the problem (See Attached Cost Document) however, it appears no one feels they should pay to have this resolved. Chairman Tews requested Admin. Archambo send correspondence to both St. Mary’s Central & Outlook Graphics asking them to meet with the residents of Westfield Condos to see if some sort of agreement or resolution could be worked out to alleviate this continuing drainage problem. It was the consensus that the Town Hall could be used for the meeting place.
b) Fritse Park Master Concept Plan: Director of Parks & Recreation Michael Kading presented a concept plan drawing for Fritse Park. He further stated the Fritse Park Blue Ribbon Committee was finalizing plans for trails, ponds, boat ramp and possible construction of a Heritage Center. Director Kading will keep the board members informed on the progress of the park plan.
