President Heili stated that per Attorney Keifer there would be no more miscellaneous business as this could be in violation of the open meeting laws, and he advised all committees to take Miscellaneous Business off of the agendas.

Committee Reports

Trustee Wollner. The Law Enforcement budget has been completed.

Trustee Beitz. DPW will be completing its budget at the October 13th meeting. He will be contacting Veolia to determine how the increased tipping fees will impact the budget. It was suggested that the Sanitary Committee look to see that fees are being billed properly. 420 Salisbury is only being billed for one REU and it should be more than that.

Additional information that Trustee Beitz tried to present was ruled out of order by President Heili and not allowed. Trustee Beitz cited the right to speak and called for a polled vote to uphold President Heili’s decision. President Heili called for the polled vote: Trustee Chesak "Y", Trustee Damrow "Y", Trustee Beimborn "N", Trustee Wollner "Y", Trustee Beitz "N". Ruling upheld 3-2.

Clerk Cording. Originally it was mandated that new voting machines would have to be purchased in the next year and it was to be a budget item for 2010, however the company that makes the machines has pulled its application for certification and at this time everything is up in the air. Consequently, this will not be a budget item even though there are no longer repair parts for the machines the Village now has. Also Madison is attempting to limit extraterritorial zoning.

President Heili. Committees should be working on their budgets and as soon as they have been finalized a Personnel and Finance Committee meeting will be scheduled. If you have articles for Bridges get them in no later than Friday, September 25, 2009. A golf outing was held to raise money to benefit Freedom Park.

Discussion and possible action on directing the Zoning Administration and Police Chief to enforce Village Zoning Ordinances against the mobile home being occupied on the north side of Hwy 33 at the intersection with Decorah Road. A complaint had been received regarding a motor home on residential property that was believed to be in violation of Village Ordinances. Attorney Kiefer stated the Village Code should be redefined and clarified, but at present there is no clear prohibition. A motion was made Trustee Sackett and seconded by Trustee Beimborn to have the Planning Commission review the parts of the code dealing with motorized and mobile homes and report back to the Board. Motion passed 5-2.
  2. Discussion and possible action on deciding to maintain or remove the Milwaukee River dam. Engineer Bednarski stated that grant money had just become available for either repair or removal of the dam, but that the application has to be in by October 15, 2009. The application for repair has to include a dam failure analysis, a structural study and a spillway analysis that will cost, in total, approximately $12,000. The DNR will have a structural engineer here on September 15, 2009, and the testing can be completed in time to meet the deadline to apply for the grant money, but more information has to be gathered to make an informed decision. Also, the residents need to be included in the decision making process. A motion was made by Trustee Sackett and seconded by Trustee Beimborn to do the engineering studies, and to apply for grants to repair or remove the dam. Motion passed 7-0. A motion was made by Trustee Beitz and seconded by Trustee Sackett to table further discussion until the Board meeting of September 24, 2009. Motion passed 7-0.
  3. Discussion of abstention of voting by Board members. Attorney Keifer stated that the appearance of a conflict of interest can be more harmful than actual conflict. Certainly, where a Trustee would stand to make a substantial monetary gain they should clearly abstain from voting the issue. However in most cases where there is a possible conflict, each Trustee needs to look within and determine if they can make an objective decision.

Miscellaneous Business

Committee Reports

Trustee Wollner. They will be getting dumpster for residents use for items that should not go on the bonfire.

Engineer Bednarski. The street project is coming along with the underground wiring expected to be completed by next week. AT&T and WE Energies moved quickly and the Village is good shape to finish up on schedule. Time Warner has taken their stuff off the poles.

Inspector Grotelueschen. Not many permits are being issued. Klink is not doing anything on building #9 and #10. Buz’s Riverside banner is not legal, and he appears to have an apartment upstairs. There is one irate citizen because Gilitzer took away the disconnected wiring and box. Gilitzer will rehang it.

Clerk Cording. The purchase of new election equipment has hit a snag as the manufacturer of the equipment the Village uses has been bought out by their competitor which puts everything up in the air as to cost and supplies. No matter what happens it will still cost the Village between $30,000 and $40,000.

President Heili. Thanks to everyone on the Parks Committee and DPW who worked on the new park, and to DPW for cleaning out the other side of the river, and to the Newburg Fire Department and Mary Monday for donating the land.

New Business

  1. Presentation by Fire Department of fire contract with the Village for 2010, 2011, 2012. Dave Geidel, Chief of the Newburg Fire Department presented the proposed contract for the coming three years and pointed out that it contains a $3,000 a year increase which is necessary to sustain the level of coverage and meet expenses. The increase for the Village of Newburg was a little higher than that of surrounding communities served by the Newburg Fire Department, which the Fire Department feels equalizes the charges better than in the past. Trustee Beitz pointed out that there are costs to the Village, such as lost property taxes and additional policing for the Firemen’s Picnic, which he hoped were taken into consideration in pricing the contract. The last contract had a 4% increase, and this contract represents an 11% increase at a time when the economy is not good. Chief Geidel pointed out that the Village also benefits from the fire department being located here. A motion was made by Trustee Sackett and seconded by Trustee Wollner to table this until the Village Attorney has had time to review the contract and give his opinion. Motion passed 7-0.
  2. Discussion and possible action on bid letting process. After a discussion of the bid process no action was taken.
  3. Discussion and possible action on Congress Street portion of Phase II. Engineer Bednarski presented two options. Option I offers parallel parking on both sides of Congress Street, and Option II offers parallel parking on the north side of Congress and angled parking on the south side of Congress in front of Holy Trinity church.

President Heili called for a polled vote: Trustee Chesak "Abstain", Trustee Damrow "No", Trustee Beimborn "No", Trustee Sackett "Yes", Trustee Wollner "Abstain", Trustee Beitz "Yes", President Heili "Abstain." Motion failed due to lack of majority of the quorum present. A motion was made by Trustee Sackett and seconded by Trustee Beimborn to contact Attorney Keifer regarding a possible conflict if the three abstaining Trustees were to vote since they are either members of, or attend Holy Trinity church. Motion passed 7-0.
  4. Discussion and possible action on Congress Drive south of Old Pit Road. Engineer Bednarski said it was already too late in the year to complete the bid process and complete the job before the end of October and it should be considered for 2010 or later as part of the budgeting process.

Committee Reports

Trustee Damrow: The new park is looking good and she will be working on posters and flyers to be distributed for the dedication.

Trustee Wollner. Law Enforcement has begun looking at the budget for 2010.

Zoning Administrator Grotelueschen. Permits issued for the second quarter of 2009 were detailed. According to the Village Code the banner at Buz’s Riverview should have come before the Planning Commission and the Village Board for approval, consequently it is not legal. The code regarding recreational vehicles states that they can be "stored" for 48 hours, but is somewhat vague. If someone is living in it does that constitute storage?

Engineer Bednarski. A site meeting was held on Franklin and Division streets, and WE Energies was asked to step up progress. They have added two crews. AT&T and Time Warner should be complete by the end of October.

He also gave all the Trustee’s an article on the dam in Grafton because they are facing similar maintenance issues to the Village.

Committee Reports

Trustee Damrow. Work on Francis "Fritz" Faulkner Park is progressing. At the last meeting the committee discussed placement of the signs and accepted a bid for the chain link and the wood fencing of $3.375. Also Bridges is being placed in mailboxes instead of the receptacle for newspapers.

Trustee Beitz. At the last meeting of the DPW committee the report from the DNR regarding the dam was discussed. Engineer Bednarski expects that the work can be done within the DNR’s timeline and within amount budgeted by the Village for the current year. At the time budgeting is done for 2010, Engineer Bednarski will have an estimate of the cost of removing the dam although this is not being recommended by the DPW committee. Bonestroo will also be looking at future costs for maintaining the dam. The door to the Village Hall was ordered at 85" but the door we received was only 84" and at this time Menard’s is refusing to rectify this mistake.

Clerk Cording. The funds from the Build American Bonds will be received on July 13th and the payment to Heartland will come out of these funds. The funds will be deposited into a money market account initially and a portion will stay there to draw from for Phase I. The balance will be transferred into an investment that gives a higher yield while protecting that investment for use in Phase II. He also has the number of someone at Menard’s that may be able to help with the door and will call them if a copy of the paperwork is given to him.

Engineer Bednarski. Phase I was held up due one person refusing to sign the easement, and that has now been resolved. WE Energies is working with AT&T and Time Warner and expects to be working in the Village in two to four weeks. They anticipate the work taking about six weeks, which means Heartland should be able to come back sometime in August. Bonestroo also has WE Energies working on Phase II. Field work has started on Congress.

Former President Bill Sackett asked to speak. He commented that the timing of items being placed on the Village Board agenda was never an issue in the past. He also addressed the fact that Sanitary had not had an increase in eleven years and in that time expenses have gone up. Five dollars a month may not be the magic number, but something needs to be done and the Trustees need to remember that they have a responsibility to the Village as a whole and not just to those residents that they talk to.

Committee Reports

Trustee Damrow. The dedication for the new Francis "Fritz" Falkner park is set for September 12, 2009, but DPW has not done work that was supposed to have done over the past weekend. Superintendent Becker got one estimate for the fencing, and we need to get more estimates. In the past the wooden fence would have been made DPW instead of being hired out, which would be more cost effective.

Trustee Wollner. The picnic went well this year and Law does not anticipate making any changes in the way policing will be handled next year.

Trustee Beitz. The Village has finally received the dam inspection report from the DNR which sets a schedule of repairs and allows for the Village to suggest alternatives. This year $7,500 was budgeted for the repairs, with another $15,000 expected to be budgeted for 2010. Engineer Bednarski will be advised to schedule repairs as much as possible within these budgeted amounts. DPW is on target on its’ budget. The rear door for the Village Hall that was specially made through Menard’s is two inches too short and they are looking into solutions. DPW will look for the original order form to see whether DPW or Menard’s made the error. Agenda requests are not being honored and committee agendas are being changed. Consequently a request for discussion at the next Board meeting will be made.

President Heili. The July 2nd Planning Commission meeting has been cancelled. One easement still has not been signed. Trustees are reminded that staff is here assist them. An item for the next agenda will be whether Trustees want to continue to pick up their packets, or have them mailed.

Trustee Damrow. Work is being done on Veteran’s Park, and the flags were up for the Newburg Firemen’s picnic. The dedication for Francis "Fritz" Falkner Park will hopefully be held in September.

Trustee Beitz. Hours were up for May for DPW due to painting the lines on the streets. Clarification of Chapter of 11 of the Village Code regarding items that the Village will accept for recycling has been requested to be put on the agenda for the next Board meeting so that it can be put in the next Bridges coming out at the end of June. The Town of Trenton plans to split Lover’s Lane into condo lots.

Clerk Cording. Attorney Riffle is sending the Town of Trenton a letter regarding the proposed condo lots. He and Harvey Klotz have been attending meeting on elections. The state has decided to check voter records against driver’s licenses going back four years and having us review any that aren’t an exact match. This is causing at least 8-12 hours worth of work on the part of the Clerk.

Chief Maeder. The picnic went well this year.

Engineer Bednarski. There is still one easement for electrical on Franklin Street not signed. As soon as we have it WE Energies can begin their work, and hopefully they will finish quickly.

President Heili. The Planning Commission worked on the sample rezoning maps given to the Board at the meeting. They are still working with Dehling Voigt on the landscaping. Everyone in the Village has had ample time to get their dogs licensed and the police department should now be handing out citations. It is important that no e-mails go between Trustees on Village business as there can be serious liability concerns.

Clerk Cording: The Hall has fielded many complaints about the reassessment. People need to be aware that this was forced on the Village by the State, and that while the assessed value may have gone up the mil rate will go down because that State still has the 2% levy limit.

President Heili: Thanks to Bill Sackett for his years of service, and congratulations to the Trustees who were just elected. Committee assignments are still be worked on. At the next meeting the Board will need to discuss filling the vacant seat.

  1. Report from Clerk on priorities and recommended changes and improvements to Village operations including website maintenance and updating, and e-mail account for trustees. Per Clerk Cording the website maintained by Ozaukee County is being updated regularly and there is no need to establish a different website. The Village has a policy in place that no Village business can be conducted via e-mail. Attorney Kiefer advises all his municipalities not to use e-mail because there is too much opportunity to violate the open meeting laws, and the e-mails are subject to the open records rules so all e-mails would have to be kept where they can be archived, and are retrievable. In addition, Clerk Cording plans to re-key the Village Hall, and the new Vista compatible printer will be installed this Friday.

Trustee Heili. Compliance agreements must be in place for anyone involved with tree removal due to the Emerald Ash Borer.

Trustee Wollner. The camera has been installed in the squad car and the Village should give the donor a plaque in recognition of this generous donation. The Law Enforcement Committee is in the process of getting prices on the equipment needed for Randy.

Trustee Beitz. He received a note from the Department of Agriculture letting the Village know that they will not be doing a training session here in May as anticipated, and will only be a fall demo. Washington County has added the Village to confirm center lines on Shady Lane, Hickory to Enge, Division, Congress and Pheasant Lane.

Clerk Cording. He attended a Clerks meeting on the stimulus money and is in the process of reading a 120 page report looking for things that the Village can apply for. He also attended a meeting of the Accountability Board in Madison on how to make the SVRS user friendly, which didn’t accomplish anything. He reminded everyon to vote on April 7th.

Treasurer DeWeese. WE Energies was contacted about the sales tax on some of the bills. They were at a loss to explain how the Village came to be charged on some, but not all the bills, and went back two years for a total refund of $3705.

Attorney Kiefer. The last brief has been filed on the Trenton case and there should be an answer in about three months. Regarding special assessments, the Village can determine how many years to amortize the payments. The number of years becomes part of the final resolution. We are still waiting for the CMS from No No which is necessary before finalizing her donation to the Village.

Chief Maeder. The new camera is "awesome." DPW got all the decals off the old squad car so it is ready to be advertised for sale.

Engineer Bednarski. The Heartland contracts are signed and back. Not everyone has signed the WE Energies waiver, and one resident will not sign. Bonestroo took a large loss on this project due to the fee structure and would like the Village to consider making a change for future contracts. Currently the fee is a percent of the cost, but in the future they would like a fee negotiated with the Board. The current agreement between Bonestroo and the Village was signed in 1996.

President Sackett. Department heads who need printed materials should check with Clerk Cording or Treasurer DeWeese to see if they can be produced in-house before ordering. Lion’s tickets are available.

Trustee Damrow. Estimates are being obtained for portable toilets for the parks, and for grinding the stumps.

Trustee Beitz. The Department of Agriculture will be removing the trees at no charge, and they are looking at also doing the same for the not-for-profit entities in the Village. The Village has applied for all stimulus money that may be available for various projects, however Madison has the decision-making power and it’s not known at this time if the Village will receive anything that has been applied for.

Treasurer DeWeese. Some data has been lost from the old server, although it doesn’t seem to be very much, and trustees may be asked to provide information so it can be reentered into the system.

Clerk Cording. Based on the Governor’s proposed budget Clerk Cording has done some preliminary financial planning and determined that it looks like the net effect will be an increase to the Village of about $7,000. One item in the budget is an increase to the tipping fees that will cost the Village approximately $4,400 a year. The first dollar of that is supposed to go toward recycling costs, but that fund is being raided for other uses. The bids for the street project came in at half of what was anticipated.

President Sackett. All the Trustees attended the Public Meeting on the street project and Matt Bednarski of Bonestroo did a good job. Attorney Rifle has filed a brief in the lawsuit with the Town of Trenton and they have until March 4th to appeal, at which time we have fifteen days to respond.

At a meeting that morning on the Emerald Ash Borer, it was suggested that ways be found to use the wood rather than burn it all.

These trees can either be burned or chipped up for animal bedding. Wisconsin Dept. of Ag will be here to remove the trees as a training session. DNR is looking to do a similar exercise – need extra bridges for info.

Public Forum

Roger Zorn – member of Parks Committee. He is concerned regarding the Veterans Park and the reason why it is being placed back on the board agenda. He feels that this is either a Planning Item or a Board Item. Once it becomes an actual "park" then the Parks Committee will gladly take it over. At this point there is also concern about the permitting and the dragging of feet on this. He is looking for guidance for his committee. Trustee Beitz asked for unanimous consent to discuss this at length with the Park committee members present. This was granted..

Jim Bokelman – He is the representative for Veterans Park. He would like a possible liaison assigned to him so that he’s updated on the procedures and permits, etc. This will be part of the agenda item.

A motion was made by Trustee Beimborn and seconded by Trustee Wollner to close the public forum. Motion passed with 5 yes and 0 no vote.

Unfinished Business

  1. Discussion and possible action on retention pond on Old Pit Road. This was tabled in spring. There are still on-going concerns regarding this pond. Engineer Bednarski recommended that we don’t bring this up again until the developer would like this brought up. A motion was made by Trustee Heili and seconded by Trustee Beimborn to hold off on putting this on an agenda until the developer would like this placed on the agenda. Motion passed.

New Business

  1. Discussion and possible action on preliminary resolution to special assessment of driveway approaches at various locations in the Village of Newburg. Engineer Bednarski presented the board with the standard resolutions that are needed to start this procedure. The resolutions were assigned numbers to be voted on. A motion was made by Trustee Beitz and seconded by Trustee Heili to approve Resolutions 6-2008, 7-2008, 8-2008, 9-2008, 10-2008, 11-2008, 12-2008 and 13-2008 for the special assessments of driveway approaches. There will also be a public hearing on this at a later date. Motion passed with 5 yes and 0 no vote.

  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.

Miscellaneous Business

Went over the hours for the month of July. Received a map of the downtown project. Approved the budget for 2009.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Presentation on Multi-jurisdictional Dispute Resolution Process. This was from the Planning Commission. Barb Renkas gave the presentation as a concerned citizen.

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

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.

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.

Discussion and possible action on reinstatement of Jeff Gonzalez to Newburg Police Dept. This is a recommendation from Personnel & Finance Committee. A motion was made by Trustee Heili and seconded by Trustee Damrow to reinstate Jeff Gonzalez to the Newburg Police Dept. pending his background check. Motion passed with 6 yes and 0 no vote.

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

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.

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 Village of Newburg. They need to gather the facts or our growth could possibly cease. We need everyone’s input.
