Specific Matters for Discussion and Possible Action by Town Board in Open Session:
The granting of a 15-year renewal of a Cable TV franchise Agreement between Northern Lakes Cable TV and the town was discussed. One concern the town had was in regard to what would happen with equipment and cables erected if Northern Lakes Cable no longer provided service in the Krakow area. In a phone call between Bob Steichen of Northern lakes Cable and Clerk Powers, Steichen indicated that the equipment is on private land with a lease that would require removal of the equipment if they no longer leased the location, the above ground cables on WeEnergies electric poles is there by agreement and would have to be removed if they no longer were providing service in Krakow and any cables under ground would not be removed. MOTION (Powers/Gwidt/PASSED) to table the granting of the renewal of the agreement that expires on March 13, 2004 until the March meeting.
There was discussion regarding setting speed limits in the Lake Sandia Subdivision. According to Wisconsin State Statute 346.57 a town could set a speed limit as low as 35 mph in a semi-urban district outside corporate limits where for 1000 feet “buildings” on either side of the highway considered collectively average not more than 200 feet apart. Supervisor Gwidt recommended that two “children at play” signs be erected in the park area. MOTION (Gwidt/Powers/PASSED) to put up two 35 mph speed limit signs at the entrances to the Lake Sandia Subdivision off of State Highway 32 and Largo Lane and also put up two “children at play” signs at the park location on Largo Lane.
A time schedule for reconstruction and maintenance of roads was reviewed. It was suggested that property owners on Hillside Drive and Willow Road be sent a letter inviting them to a town board meeting, possibly the March or April meeting, at which they could ask questions and they could get information on the planned road reconstruction and also have the road easements available at the meeting for signature.
Voucher Listing/Payment of Bills: MOTION (Gwidt/Powers/PASSED) to approve vouchers No. 2112 through No.2153.
Specific Town Board Notice and Agenda for Upcoming Town Board Meeting: Suggested items to be on the agenda for the March 8, 2004 town board meeting were (1) working out a new agreement with the Town of Green Valley on the maintenance and plowing of Town Line Road where each town would have a two-mile stretch to maintain rather than alternating four one-mile stretches of Town Line Road between the towns and the placement of weight limit signs (2) a time schedule for getting DNR permits, road easements signed and cleaning debris out of road ditches (3) approve 15-year renewal of agreement with Northern Lakes Cable TV and (4) approve a new financial report format and mailing out of the reports.
Adjournment: MOTION (/Gwidt/Powers/PASSED) to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 p.m.
