Reports

water not draining when it gets to Green Valley Road. Supervisor Van Asten
reported that the bridge sign on Green Valley Road is down again, potholes on
Town Line Road and Green Valley Road north of Angelica Street needing filling,
the brush pile at the Krakow Park and opening up the water at the park this
week.
Chairman Smith reported
(1) at the N.E.W. Para-Medic Squad board meeting in April it was reported that
there was $6,139.89 in the General Fund with $1,984.31 being in the 1st
Responders Fund and $227.72 in the Junior EMS Fund. There is a balance in the Equipment Fund of
$9,324.97 with $4,280.90 being in the Building Maintenance Fund. The High Yield
Passbook savings fund at Citizens Federal Bank in Shawano is $65,562.67. There were 37 runs in March with 13 no
transports and 4 runs for the Town of Angelica.
The Operating Income balance is $12,000.00 in the black. An addition to the Operating Guidelines
regarding stand-by calls is that in the future EMT’s will take out the second
squad for a stand-by call and there will be a charge of $125.00 per hour. (2) the Fire Department had 24 runs in March compared to 31 in
2009 with two runs being in the Town of Angelica. Presently there are 43 members with 40 being
active and it is planned to get up to 45 members by adding more firemen in the
area that are already trained and are available for day-time calls. Shawano
County presently has 7 municipalities signed up for the MABAS agreement and
Oconto County is in the process of moving forward on MABAS agreements. The Department is waiting to hear from both
the DNR and FEMA in regard to grant applications. (3) The engineer for Shawano County is
working on the reconstruction project for Green Valley Road and it is estimated
that 80 per cent of the project will be in wet lands and a Water Quality Notice
will be filed with the DNR. In one area
a considerable amount of muck will have to be removed and hopefully red sand fill from Ripley can
be used for a base. (4) there is a problem with the
sale of garbage stickers in that Amoco 29 on Spruce Road is no longer open for
business and a problem with payment from the convenience store in Krakow for
stickers that have already been sold. It
is suggested that instead of selling garbage stickers the charge for garbage
service be increased on the tax statements.
This will be on the June town board meeting agenda. (5) there is a question regarding a CSM for a lot on Cuba Drive
in that the lot meets the two-acre requirement but is only 100 feet in depth
and Smith will be contacting the Shawano County Zoning Department in regard to
the A-290 interpretation in regard to this.
Clerk Powers reported on
the town’s administrative building permits issued since the first of the year
and expenses for Public Works – General and Public Work – Reconstruction year
to date.
Report
from Town Planning Commission Chairman: Richard Ferfecki, Chairman
of the Town of Angelica Planning Commission, was present and reported that the
cluster meeting regarding the Zoning Code re-wrote was not very well attended
and the person building a home on Pine Road has decided to purchase fill rather
than applying for a conditional use permit for a pond.
Public Comments: MOTION (Van Asten/Lewis/PASSED)
to open the meeting up for public comments. Elmer Kraning
brought to the board’s attention that the ditch on Green Valley Road near a
bridge has been dug right up to the road shoulder and the blacktop is breaking
away because of this. Brian Eckberg expressed concern about trucking going back and
forth from Kuczer Lumber and breaking up the blacktop
on Hillside Drive. MOTION (Lewis/Van Asten/PASSED) to close the public comment portion of
the meeting.

c. There
was discussion is regard to having a tire drop-off day sometime in August and
having the tires brought to the Gene Reyment business
site and Reyment will then truck the tires out and be
paid on a tonnage basis. There is also
the possibility of Reyment being able to take
appliances and iron. There was also
discussion as to how to inform town residents and it was
suggested ads be placed in the local shopper. This will be on the June town board meeting
agenda.
