parallel parking on both sides of Congress, while Option II shows angled
parking on the south side of the street with parallel parking on the north

item will be put on the next agenda when the full Board will be present.
- Discussion and possible action on deciding to maintain or remove the
Milwaukee River dam. Engineer Bednarski gave a presentation outlining the
cost of repairing the dam versus removing the dam. There is grant money that
must be applied for by October 15, 2009, that could defray some of the costs
if the Village receives a grant. The total estimated costs of repairing the
dam are $134,000 to $169,000 with cost to the Village of $67,000 to $84,500
is the grant is received. The total estimated costs of demolition are
$100,000 to $120,000 with zero cost to the Village if the grant is received.
With either option the Village will bear the cost up front, with a
reimbursement if a grant is received. A motion was made by Trustee Beimborn
and seconded by Trustee Wollner to apply for a grant to repair the dam.

Miscellaneous
Business
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.
Trustee Damrow. They had a great dedication with good
weather and a nice turn out. It was especially nice to see so many of the
Falkner’s there. The Parks budget will be finalized at the October 9, 2009,
meeting.

of Emergency Government and DPW will be held on October 7, 2009, with Trustee
Beimborn to set the agenda.
Chief Maeder. The Village police will be at the
Newburg Fire Department’s grand opening to finger print kids.
Engineer Bednarski. Construction is coming along, but
AT&T has been holding things up a bit. The contractors are working around them
and the project is scheduled to be completed on time.
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.
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.
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.

Committee Reports
Trustee Wollner. They will be getting dumpster for

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. The Village police are still working on getting the all dogs

New Business
- 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

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.
President Heili. The weeds at Steeple View have been
cut down. Of the 24 unlicensed dogs, 10 are now licensed, 6 are no longer in the
Village, and the Police Department is working to get the rest licensed. Trustee
Sackett has been appointed to the Public Works Committee, replacing President
Heili.

expressing their desire to keep the angled parking on Congress, and to remind
the Village that the angled parking is on Village property and should be
maintained properly by the Village. Also parking regulations should be enforced.
Chuck Karnitz, of 6784 Shady Lane, also spoke on behalf of Holy Trinity to

for the elderly than parallel parking. If the Village does change the parking on
Congress to parallel then hopefully angled parking would be allowed for the
three hours of church services.

Trustee Damrow. A lot of work has been done in the park. DNR required the
embankment to be reinforced and all the fill has been brought in and the park
has been seeded. Flyers will be put out for the dedication, and they will have
milk and cookies for the dedication. No permit is needed for the bonfire because
it is considered a ceremonial event.
Trustee Beimborn. The siren and radio equipment were tested, and it is
possible that the new radio system will not be installed until next year.
Engineer Bednarski. One of DNR’s requirements for the dam is an emergency
plan. The DPW meeting of September 8, 2009, will be attended by the Emergency
Government Committee to discuss this. WE Energies has been urged to finish their
work as soon as possible on Franklin and Division and they have added two crews
and hope to be done by the end of August.
Trustee Beitz. DPW hours are down, but Parks hours are up. Paul Becker has
been advised of items that Veolia is not picking up. Bridges does detail what
residents can do with those items, and there are violations forms in the rack by
the front door. The DOT has begun studies on Hwy 33 from Addison to Saukville
and Trustee Beitz will be attending the Addison meeting. He also gave all the
Trustee’s an article on the dam in Grafton because they are facing similar
maintenance issues to the Village.
Clerk Cording. New voting equipment will be required at a cost to the Village
of $30-35,000 for four machines. He is working with both counties in an effort
to buy the machines over two years.

Village for part of the cost of moving the siren.
President Heili. No occupancy permits will be issued to Emmer/Klink until the
road has been completed as agreed. Clerk cording wants the Board to be advised
that the Village will need to budget $30,000 next year for new voting machines
that will be mandatory. At the next Sanitary Committee meeting they will be
discussing investing some of the funds currently in the Replacement Fund.
Engineer Bednarski. We Energies will begin staking probably next week and
then they can start construction, so we are moving ahead again on Phase I. With
Option 4 selected for Salisbury Street for Phase II, Bonestroo needs direction
as to Congress Street. Two options will be presented at the next Village Board
meeting. Bonestroo is in the process of designing Congress south of Hwy 33. They
are looking to widen it, and a portion needs maintenance. This is in the total

a fee was paid to Time Warner in 2004 of approximately $10,000 that will be
refunded.

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

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

Gary Klink of Steeple Hill Developers asked that
permits be issued for the start of the 10th building to keep them
from losing their state permits, in spite of not having the paving completed per
their agreement with the Village. They anticipate the paving being done shortly
and will stay on top of it to be in compliance as quickly as possible. Building
Inspector Walter Grotelueschen was told to issue the permits.
Walter Grotelueschen represented the Newburg Fire
Department in asking that the Village reconsider its plan to close Salisbury at
Hwy 33 with a cul-de-sac. With the completion of the addition onto the fire
station, the big trucks are garaged at Salisbury and would have a straight run
out to Hwy 33 if access is left open, making answering calls more efficient.

has a cold water rescue team and is looking into adding a swift water rescue
team, which would require additional equipment and training. They are also

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

Trustee Damrow. The Parks Committee is in the process

Trustee Beimborn. The siren has been tested and is
fully operational. Progress on the new firehouse is good.
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.

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

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.

- 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

Trustee Beitz and seconded by Trustee Wollner subject to a satisfactory
negotiations with Seek Employment regarding applicable fees. A poll vote was
taken with the following results: "YES" Trustees Chesak, Beimborn, Heili,
Wollner, Beitz and President Sackett. "NO" none.
- 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.

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

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.
- Discussion and possible action on Phase I or Phase II Environmental
Assessment of Mary Monday Property. Possible park land. A Phase I of the
property was performed and there might be a possibility of above or
underground storage tanks. There appeared to have been an above ground gas
tank on the western edge nearest Mary Monday’s garage. Should we proceed
with Phase II to investigate the soils for possible contamination? 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. A

- 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.

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

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.

fees that the board shouldn’t allow this as a permitted use, but as a

Village President he never received any complaints regarding the property in
question.

Is here before the board regarding the amendment change. Gave

zoning districts as a permitted use or as a conditional use. Public
hearing was recently held and also held a Planning Commission meeting.
At this meeting – both the permitted and conditional uses were denied.
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. Findings of Fact was done on the property by Bonestroo and
their recommendation is that the board NOT allow permitted use or
conditional use at this time and reasons were given for this in their
supporting documents. A motion was made by Trustee Beitz and seconded by

change in B-2 district as a permitted use. Motion passed with 6 yes and

background on this decision from the Planning Commissioner. To make a
permitted use could have a negative effect on outlook of village. Could
look at possible other avenues to allow min-storage in the village.

issues as a village and not as a residential issue, as he has known the

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
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

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.

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

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.

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
