Specific Matters for Discussion and Possible Action by Town Board in Open Session: 

 

New Business:

 

c.       The town received a Schedule for Appointment of Agent by Corporation/Nonprofit Organization or Limited Liability Company from Village BP, LLC.  MOTION (Van Asten/Lewis/PASSED UNANIMOUSLY) to accept the appointment of Daniel W. Umhoefer as the agent for Angelica Mobil.

g.      MOTION (Van Asten/Lewis/PASSED UNANIMOUSLY) to authorize the Treasurer to purchase an Acer Aspire, AS57362-4016,  laptop computer with Windows 7 at a cost not to exceed $477.00.

 

h.      Cliff Powers, County Board Supervisor for the Town of Angelica, was present and went over the latest redistricting map that was given him on May 5th.  In redistricting there is to be an average representation number around the 1,553 mark per county board supervisor.  This latest map changed the redistricting of the four northeastern towns in the county of Green Valley, Washington, Hartland and Angelica from the prior map that was discussed at the May 2nd hearing at which the town board was present.  The board was in favor of the plan that was presented and discussed at that meeting which had the Town of Angelica supervisor representing only our town’s residents and the excess over the 1,553 number was put with the Town of Hartland and left that hearing with the impression that this map was going to be presented to the County Board meeting for approval.  The board strongly opposes this latest plan which put the northeast portion of our town in the Krakow area in with the Green Valley supervisor.  By doing that, they left the Town of Angelica with a number that was lower than the average for a supervisor to represent, which resulted in the Town of Angelica going west into the Town of Hartland to have sufficient numbers for representation by the Town of Angelica supervisor.  After lengthy discussion it was the general consensus to write a letter to the Redistricting Committee to voice the town’s objection to this latest redistricting map and encourage attendance at the May 18, 2011 County Board Meeting.
