Application to Wisconsin DNR for Dept. of Public Works. The hours worked

approve the filling of the grant application. Motion passed with 6 yes

Discussion and possible action on renewing refuse and recycling
contract with Veolia Environmental Services for a 5-year term beginning
January 1, 2008. Dennis Fechter – representing Veolia Environmental
Services presented the contract to the Village Board. Discussion was
held. The large item clause (sofa, tv, refrigerators, etc.) in the
contract was taken out. We aren’t required to bid this out, but Waste
Management was given the opportunity to give the Village a proposal, but
their rates over the 5-year period would have been substantially higher,
whereas the Veolia Environmental Services proposal stayed basically the
same throughout the 5-year period. The large item clause was basically a
hassle and thus it was removed as you can call Veolia up without the
Village’s help and get these large items picked up that way. The annual
report on tonnage will still be given to the Village for their use with
the grant for recycling. This is a recommendation from Public Works. Mr.
Fechter also presented a 95 gallon cart that the residents could
possibly purchase for their usage. These carts could be discussed at
upcoming meetings for consideration. A motion was made by Trustee Beitz
and seconded by Trustee Damrow to renew the recycle and garbage pickup
with Veolia Environmental Services for the 5-year contract beginning
1/1/08. Motion passed with 6 yes and 0 no vote.

Center beginning at 6 p.m.

This is a recommendation from Dept. of Public Works. No action taken at
this time.

on the changes that were implemented from the last meeting. Trustee
Heili went through all the changes that were received to date from the

These changes have been available for months. Trustee Heili went through
the calendar of events for this from draft to publication to public
hearing to changes, etc. which brought us to this date. Discussion was
held on the fencing around the mini storage area. This is a conditional
use part of this and could be changed. A motion was made by Trustee

17 starting on Wednesday, September 19 and running through October 10,
2008. This will be a notice in the paper that Chapter 17 is available

breakdown the 35 acres into 6 to 7 parcels for condo’s. An attempt to
possibly go around our freeze on the zoning of this property. In order
to keep our freeze in effect – we need to enact on this ordinance. This

issues. An ETZ committee has been set up but by-passed in this instance.

On 11/20/06 there was a special extra territorial land
division meeting in the Village of Newburg. At this meeting it was decided that
the Town of Trenton and the Village of Newburg will need to both meet as a
committee. They recently held their first meeting (Extra Territorial Zoning aka
ETZ). They are currently moving forward on this extra-territorial land division
and would like everyone to become more involved in this process. This includes:
Trustees, Village Attorney, Zoning and also administrative people. This is the
future of the Village of Newburg.
Jeff Williamson
For the past 10 months the Planning Commission has been
working on zoning for this village. He expressed dissatisfaction on the recent
vote to not approve the zoning that was brought before the board. The Planning
Commission needs to have the full support of all the Trustees and would like to

that they become more informed.

A letter was received from Trustee Mike Heili

A letter was received from Diane Miller. She
expressed concern about the direction on Smart Growth for the
Village. Need a Smart Growth plan in place for the Village. How do
you as Trustees gather your information? She would like to see more
of the Trustees attend the Planning meetings and also more citizens,
too.
A letter was received from President Sackett.
Expressed concern regarding how the Trustees voted on the zoning
issue before them at the last meeting. Planning Commission is
working hard on all issues. The Village of Newburg Trustees need to
attend more meetings on planning and gather facts. We could lose
valuable members of the Planning commission. It is the
responsibility of the Trustees to attend these meetings and gather
valuable information.
A letter was received from Trustee Phil Beitz.
Concerned about the last meeting were the rezoning before the
Village of Newburg Trustees was rejected. None of the Trustees that
voted no attended any of the planning meetings. At this point he
would not like to be a part of the Planning Commission when the
committee assignments are redone in April.

to change the south semi-truck parking spot to allow automobile parking
during the hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and semi-truck parking only from 6

Committee. This is to allow more parking for the business at Carmody
Court. Signs would be put up. A motion was made by Trustee Heili and
seconded by Trustee Beimborn to approve the changes. Motion passed with
6 yes and 0 no vote.
Discussion and possible action on Resolution #01-2007 Approving a
wage increase for the Village of Newburg employees. This is a
recommendation from the Personnel & Finance Committee. A 3% wage
increase will be given to all hourly employees effective 1/1/07. A 3%

Committee. A motion was made by Trustee Heili and seconded by Trustee

Discussion and possible action on changing the make-up of the Village
of Newburg Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is currently
made up of 2 appointed Trustees, 3 appointed Village of Newburg
citizens, Village Engineer and Zoning Administrator. Looking to bring
additional citizens to alleviate excess time currently being spent by
current Planning Commission members. Currently all other committees have
3 trustees. This is by state statute. They are currently looking for
more citizen members. This would give an opportunity to spread the work
out more evenly. Would be great to have more input and more involvement
from outside citizens. By default the village engineer and zoning
administrator are required to attend and allow them to have a voting
authority. Would like to change the ordinance to read 5 citizen members
and elimination of staff. A motion was made by Trustee Beitz and
seconded by Trustee Heili to have the Village Attorney draft and
ordinance that would change the language of the Planning Commission to
read: 2 board members and 5 citizen members. A poll vote was taken with
the following results: "YES" Trustees Chesak, Damrow, Beimborn, Heili,
Wollner, Beitz and President Sackett. "NO" None. Motion passed.
Discussion and possible action on salary increase for Village of
Newburg officials. This was reviewed 3 years ago and actually approved 5
years ago as you can’t vote yourself a raise while in office. This would
be a base salary with the possibility of extra pay for attending outside
meetings. This was a topic of discussion. Possible increase for
President for additional work involved. A motion was made by Trustee
Beimborn and seconded by Trustee Damrow to leave the base pay as is. A
poll vote was taken with the following results. YES" Trustees Chesak,
Damrow, Beimborn, Heili, Wollner, Beitz and President Sackett. "NO"
None. Motion passed.
Discussion and possible action on Ordinance #01-2007. An Ordinance to
Amend, Repeal and Recreate Portions of Section 10.03(7a) (Lawn and Yard
Maintenance) of the Municipal Code. This ordinance originated in the DPW
committee and how to deal with natural laws. This would allow the
village to have more control on weeds and would have restrictions on
perimeter and set back of 3 feet so natural lawns don’t encroach on
neighbor’s property. This would make the Village of Newburg more
appealing to visitors. A motion was made by Trustee Heili and seconded
by Trustee Beitz to adopt Ordinance #01-2007 and changes. Motion passed.
Unfinished Business
None.
Miscellaneous Business
Trustee Chesak stated that the Planning Commission has done a
good job in their committee. He did talk with residents on this
zoning issue and that’s how he voted. Didn’t appreciate the comments
at recent planning meeting.
Trustee Damrow also talked with several residents on the zoning
issue.
President Sackett will be having surgery and his recovery time is
8-10 weeks. The board needs to work together for the better of the
