A motion was made by Trustee Beimborn and seconded by Trustee Wollner to approve the minutes of the August 23, 2007. Motion passed with a 6 yes and 0 no vote.

President Sackett stated that the public forum section of the Village Board meeting was a time for the Village residents to voice their input regarding Village matters.

Lee Delcore – Question regarding Agenda Item #2 regarding the contract for the upcoming Garbage & Recycle in the village.

Mark Falkner – Attended many meetings regarding the zoning changes for the upcoming Chapter 17 municipal code.

Discussion and possible action on approving Recycling Grant Application to Wisconsin DNR for Dept. of Public Works.

The grant amount is partially based on the percentage of land fill vs. recycling tonnage done by the residents of the village. A motion was made by Trustee Beitz and seconded by Trustee Wollner to approve the filling of the grant application. Motion passed with 6 yes and 0 no vote.

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.

Discussion and possible action on purchasing an emergency generator. This is a recommendation from Dept. of Public Works. No action taken at this time.

Unfinished Business

Discussion was held on the changes that were implemented from the last meeting. Trustee Heili went through all the changes that were received to date from the previous board meeting. Nothing was received from the Public Hearing. 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 Heili and seconded by Trustee Beitz to publish and post revised Chapter 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 for public viewing. This is a requirement of the statues authorizing a publication. A poll vote was taken with the following results.

Attorney Kiefer gave a brief synopsis of the planning meeting to the board. Possibly narrow the wording to larger parcels of property in the village, etc. The action that we take tonight will effect all of the B-2 properties.

President Sackett voiced concern regarding zoning issues as a village and not as a residential issue, as he has known the property owners in question all his life.

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.

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 see more of the Trustees in attendance and the Planning Commission meetings so that they become more informed.

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.

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.
