Specific
Matters for Discussion and Possible Action by Town Board in Open Session:
New Business:
a.
Katie Schwartz, the newly hired engineer for the Shawano County Highway
Department was present and gave the board her background of engineering
experience and a listing of design related professional engineering services
the Highway Department could provide for the towns in road construction and
maintenance.
b.
Inasmuch as Mark Gewont was not present there was no discussion or
action taken on a possible donation to the Krakow Community Park.
c.
Steve Effert was present and updated the board on a planned summer program
at the Krakow Community Park for youngsters in which they would be working with
a college student who would head up a program that would consist of four hours
in a day for a total of ten days at a charge of $8.00 per hour with an
estimated cost of $320.00 for labor and another $230.00 for balls and craft
supplies. For insurance reasons, the
Krakow Advancement Association was asking that payment for this program be done
through the town. MOTION
(Powers/Lewis/PASSED) to handle payment of the college student by the town
with the Krakow Advancement Association then reimbursing the town for that
payment.
d.
Samples of two different colored and size flag style 911 signs were
given the board and there was discussion regarding colors, wording on the sign
and placement of signs. It was the
general consensus of the board to wait until the Shawano County Ordinance has
been passed regarding the requiring of flag style 911 signs in the county
before proceeding with ordering and installation of signs in the town.
e.
A draft of an ordinance to create a Town of Angelica Planning
Commission had been reviewed by the Planning Committee and the town board. There were questions as to how to maintain
the present Town of Angelica Planning Committee having the same duties as they
have been performing with five members and also having a newly formed Planning
Commission with seven members, including the town chairman, to just
specifically work on the town’s comprehensive plan. The general consensus was to simplify the ordinance creating the
Town of Angelica Planning Commission to give that commission only the duty of
creating a comprehensive plan for town board approval at this time with a
membership of seven people including the town chairman and keep the town
Planning Committee having the same duties as in the past with five
members. A revised draft of an
ordinance to create a Town of Angelica Planning Commission will be brought to
the July meeting for approval.
