  3. Discussion and possible action to send to the board for the approval of construction and development on the Veterans Park. This is a recommendation from the Parks Department. Commissioner Zorn spoke for the Parks Department and he feels that the permits and such are taking too long and that this issue should be referred to Planning Committee. Also there is a lack of communication regarding this. The Engineer provided paperwork to the board on this regarding zoning, engineer work and legal work. This park won’t have to be re-zoned within the village once the park is completed. This memo should give direction to the village board regarding where this issue should lie. There are certain procedures and guidelines that need to be followed before all this can take place. There needs to be a "ring leader" so to speak to make sure all the procedures and such get done. Attorney Kiefer gave a breakdown of requirements for this park and what is all needed to get this done right. Once the CSM has been established to possibly have the Engineer come before the board and we can proceed from there. This lot needs to conform to B-1 zoning requirements. Engineer Bednarski will meet with Noreen McGaw regarding the easement or lack of easement at the time when the CSM is taking place. He will report back at the next board meeting with his findings. Engineer Bednarski will keep the board informed and he will let us know about agenda items for this.

Is meeting with contractors regarding moving the siren for emergency use.

Planning
Recently met and went over the plans for Newburg Fire Department for their expansion project. This should look really nice. Tentative sign approval on sign in Village. Preliminary discussion on budget. Ozaukee County Smart Growth was in attendance and hopefully by December this should be completed. Attended the Emerald Ash Borer meeting.

Law Enforcement

Finalized the 2009 budget. Approved an ordinance to send to the board.

Department of Public Works

Went over the hours for the month of July. Received a map of the downtown project. Approved the budget for 2009. Discussed ditch drainage problems on Old Pit Road and would like to set aside monies for this and other areas in the village. Discussed the Steeple View retention pond. This isn’t a village problem…mother nature gave us plenty of water this past spring/summer. Working on the driveway special assessments. Accepted a bid for paving a small piece of pavement. Discussed Congress Drive to do a possible overlay. The boring reports came back and the cost to redo Congress Drive would be around $200K. Met with the DNR regarding the dam. There is seepage on the east wall of the dam and this will need to be addressed. This could be done with grouting. There is also some minor cracking on the top of the dam. We will be getting an order from the DNR for tree-removal on the earth side of the dam and these trees will need to be removed. The DNR would like to see the village pull back some of the concrete that’s along the river. Would maybe like to put rip rap down. The DNR will also be sending us an Emergency Action Plan that needs to be filled out. One part of the form is that we need to hire an engineer to fill out one part of this form. Need to comply with NR 333 – Spillway Capacity Assessment and Structural Stability Assessment. This needs to be completed by an outside engineer firm. Total cost estimate would be around $50,000. They will also make recommendations for our village.

Clerk

Attended an Emerald Ash Borer meeting. At the present time there aren’t any funds available to take care of this. There isn’t immediate danger to the residents so nothing will be done at this time. Would like the board to start thinking about a storm water utility fee for other projects to be funded within the village.

  2. Discussion and possible action on Adopting Ordinance #05-2008 An Ordinance to Create Sections 7.07(2)(h) and 7.07(3)(h) of the Municipal Code (Parking Prohibited). This was a recommendation from Dept. of Public Works. Trustee Beitz gave a breakdown of all the recommendations on the Ordinance. Discussion was held regarding this. Superintendent Woda said that the only issue that he had with the parking was plowing of the snow. He didn’t see and issue between Main Street and the first property to the east – the real problem is from the second driveway to No No’s. Noreen McGaw expressed her concerns via President Sackett regarding this parking issue. The road is more off-center to the north. Possible temporary signs instead of no parking on section 3 were discussed. A motion was made by Trustee Chesak and seconded by Trustee Beimborn to approve the Ordinance with the removal of Section 3 of the Ordinance. Motion passed.

A Phase I of the property was performed and there might be a possibility of above or underground storage tanks.

The Phase II would cost around $5,000. Attorney Kiefer explained the contamination issue brought to the board for further clarification. The cost of a Phase I is around $2,600. A motion was made by Trustee Heili and seconded by Trustee Damrow to accept the property "as is" and not do any Phase I or Phase II.

  5. Discussion and possible action on maintaining or repairing the storm sewer line from Main Street to the stub north of Lorence Manufacturing building. This is the catch basin behind Parkside Tavern. Originally it was a storm sewer that ran under the buildings. The catch basin is not draining at all and the water is flooding the area. The Newburg Fire Department helped alleviate the water and also the City of West Bend was called in to help clean out the catch basin. Engineer Bednarski and Superintendent Woda met with the contractor and there could be other alternatives to this. There are many unknowns at this time and they need to be further researched. Would possibly need an easement for the work. Working out costs for doing a closed circuit tv inspection for the line, too. Attorney Kiefer explained to the board the necessary steps to possibly correct this. A motion was made by Trustee Heili and seconded by Trustee Chesak to close circuit tv inspection this. Motion passed.

Dept. of Public Works

Put the year to date expenses into a spread sheet and the expenses are almost over budget if you take the numbers out to year’s end – by a best guess. Discussed the increase in garbage and recycling collection and the fuel increase that has taken place. There is currently a surcharge placed on the invoice that is received from Veolia already. Discussed hours worked and the possibility of being over budget on many items.

We should have the ability to recoup state and federal fuel tax on some of our purchases. Questioned this and wanted to see if this was possible.

This didn’t pass but the Governor did write to FEMA and they have agreed to provide some funding to some southeastern counties. There will be several representatives and someone will get information and then get this back to us. The Village of Newburg has taken the steps to fill out the form and send this into the state for possible state aid.

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.

Public Forum

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.

Jack Isselman – concerned about the pending litigation between the Village of Newburg and Town of Trenton. Is this in the best interest of the Village of Newburg to get into such litigation. This could possibly hurt all the residents and businesses in the Village of Newburg. Would like the board to re-think this litigation.

Motion to close public forum was made by Trustee Heili and seconded by Trustee Damrow. Motion passed with a 6 Yes and 0 No vote.

New Business

Discussion and possible action on approving Recycling Grant Application to Wisconsin DNR for Dept. of Public Works. The hours worked in the recycling center for the Village of Newburg, which would probably reduce the dollar amount received from the Wisconsin DNR for grant money. 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. 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.

Unfinished Business

This would eliminate all the unpaved sections of road and this would bring all the driveways up to code. This would need to have an Engineer’s report, public hearings, resolutions with costs, etc. Treasurer Hein gave a brief synopsis on special assessments to the board. If we do a special assessment, we would have to bid the project out. Discussion was held. A motion was made by Trustee Beitz and seconded by Trustee Heili to have Dept. of Public Works proceed with preliminary planning for having driveway approaches done under special assessment. A poll vote was taken with the following results: "Yes" Trustees Damrow, Beimborn, Beitz, Wollner, Heili and President Sackett. "No" none. Motion passed.

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 would require Town of Trenton to come before the board for any zoning issues. An ETZ committee has been set up but by-passed in this instance. We need to protect our interests as a Village of Newburg. It is vital for growth of our village going to the west. This would need to be approved by the Village of Newburg. Need to plan for future growth. Discussion was held and questions answered on the purpose of this ordinance.

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.

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.
