Option II is essentially the same option that was presented two weeks ago with parallel parking, but with additional parking on the north side of Congress. This gives twenty-one parking spaces. Option III adds angled parking on the south side of Congress at Salisbury and would require access of right of way. This option creates twenty-three parking spaces.

With either option the sidewalk on the south side of Congress, which has always been partially on private property, would be replaced where it is now. A motion was made by Trustee Sackett and seconded by Trustee Beimborn to adopt Option II. President Heili called for a polled vote: Trustee Damrow "No", Trustee Beimborn "Yes", Trustee Sackett "Yes", Trustee Wollner "No", Trustee Huebner "No", President Heili "Yes."

Unfinished Business

  1. Discussion and possible action on re-evaluating the design of Phase II as a result of geometry issues. Engineer Bednarski presented two options for Phase II. Option I maintains the angled parking in front of Holy Trinity, as originally voted on by the Board, and Option II has parallel parking in front of the church. In laying out the design of Option I it was discovered that two residents would lose several feet of driveway, reducing their driveways to less than a car length. Option II still reduces those driveways, but leaves enough footage to park a car in the driveway. Other issues for Option I were discussed as possible traffic hazards. A motion was made by Trustee Beitz and seconded by Trustee Beimborn to accept Option II with the bump out for parallel parking, and the southeast corner be revised before construction begins and after consultation with Holy Trinity on the bump out on the north side for parking. A polled vote was taken: Trustees Wollner "Yes", Beitz "Yes", Chesak "Abstain", Sackett "Yes", Beimborn "Yes", Damrow "Yes" and President Heili "Yes." Motion passed 6 Yes and 1 Abstain.

It was also agreed to let Matt get bids in two phases to move things along more quickly once the final plans have been adopted. He will seek bids in a storm water phase, and in a paving phase. He hopes to be able to award the contracts at the second meeting in May and begin construction in June.

New Business

  1. Presentation by the Newburg Fire Department of the annual report to the Village of Newburg.

    Chief Geidel detailed the calls made by the Fire Department over the last year. He stated that they had a recruitment drive last June and accepted twelve of twenty-one applicants, all of whom are close to finishing their training. Last June, the Fire Department also took delivery of new ambulance. This June the Firemen’s Picnic will be held on the 4th, 5th and 6th.

  2. Discussion and possible action on Wisconsin Firemen’s Memorial Ride. This summer the annual Memorial Ride will end in the Village and the Firemen are requesting a parade permit, and permission to close Main Street from Hawthorne to the Station, and from Salisbury to Franklin from 4:30pm to about 10:00pm. The Village will grant the parade permit and have no objection to the road closing, however they will have to talk to the County as Main Street is a county road.

Committee Reports

Trustee Beimborn. The siren was tested and worked, but is now off a few minutes and that will be adjusted.

Trustee Sackett. Outgoing Trustee Beitz was thanked for his years of service.

Treasurer DeWeese. Anyone who has not licensed their dogs as of April 1st has received a letter.

Clerk Cording. The turnout for the election was very light making the cost per vote between $30 and $50 per ballot. Residents need to understand how important it is to vote because this determines the Village’ taxes.

Trustee Beitz. Incoming Trustee Huebner was congratulated, and a prepared statement was read.

Inspector Grotelueschen. Things have been very quiet in the Village with not much building going on.

Engineer Bednarski. Bonestroo has hired a new Planner, and Amanda was introduced to the Board.

President Heili. The Trustees were asked to set up a meeting with him to talk about committee assignments. The question was raised as to when the Trustee’s table would be fixed.

Committee Reports

Trustee Beitz. DPW hours were down. Matt continues to work with WE Energies and is hopeful that we can still get favorable bids. He is hoping to have the bids by the first Board meeting in May and that construction can start by the end of May.

Trustee Damrow. The Parks Committee met and decided to go with Arnold’s again this year for the portable toilets in the park. The benches for the new park came in and will be cemented in place with two tables on the south side of the bridge and one table on the north side.

Trustee Beimborn. The siren was tested and worked. Emergency Government has submitted an article for Bridges on tornado awareness.

Chief Maeder. Law Enforcement is working on a traffic map.

Inspector Grotelueschen. Not many permits are being issued. He will be taking training on March 21st that is required due to the new law set to go into effect on April 22nd which will require lead screening on older building as remodeling or updating is done. It is estimated that the cost to the consumer will add $100 per window.

Clerk Cording. Wisconsin’s law is stricter than the Federal law taking effect on April 22nd. Under Federal law there is a test that can be done, but there is no test that meets Wisconsin’s requirements. Consequently, any area being remodeled where lead paint is suspected will have to be completely screened off. The Federal government has decided that ESS cannot purchase Premier as it eliminates competition. As a result, if the voting machines break down there are no replacement machines or parts.

President Heili. The Planning Commission approved continuance of Falkner’s conditional use permit and they will not have to come back before the committee for five years. The Trustees have all been given sheets to fill out to indicate what committee assignments they would like after the April election. Chief Maeder now has a mail box. There will be no Planning Commission meeting in April unless something comes up.

Committee Reports

Trustee Wollner. A recommendation will be coming before the Board to remove the handicapped parking on Salisbury. Officer Gallion is still on medical leave.

Trustee Beitz. Engineer Bednarski has not let Phase II out for bids yet. WE Energies is causing the hold up, but Matt is trying to move things along.

Clerk Cording. Thirty-nine people voted in the February primary election. According to the rules of the Build America Bond program the Village has to use all the money it borrowed. Since the bids for Phase I came in lower than anticipated, the Village has to find ways to use the excess with one possible way being the fish passage. Matt and Greg, from Ehlers, are looking at possible uses. The law will change on April 22, 2010, regarding how windows and doors are replaced on homes built before 1978. The change will add $100 to $125 to the cost of each window, and Walt has is aware of this change. The Village will be hosting the Mid-Moraine dinner on March 24, 2010, at the West Bend Lakes Golf Club.

President Heili. The Trustees should be thinking about what committees they would like to serve on after the April election. DPW needs to be advised to work on the Trustees table in the Hall.

  1. Discussion and possible action on payment to WE Energies for Freedom Park. Jim Volkmann spoke on behalf of the veterans working on Freedom Park to request assistance in paying WE Energies for the lighting in the park. WE Energies has proposed a cost of $1,432 if the work is done after March 1st. The veterans would like to be finished with work in the park and have the dedication around the time of the picnic, but the cost of the electrical would use all their available funds. It was suggested that they meet with the Parks Committee on the design for the remaining work, including the electrical, since the finished park will become Village property. Attorney Keifer said that the Village is prohibited from donating to any charity or privately owned land and a solution might be to have the park donated to the Village before completion to allow the Village to contract with WE Energies directly. The veterans will talk to the property owner about donating the land before completion of the park. No action was taken.

A letter was read from MaryAnn Riggs, 423 Salisbury, Newburg, WI, stating her opposition to Item #1 on the agenda dealing with pay raises for the Trustees.

Unfinished Business

 

  1. Discussion and possible action on pay raises for the Village Trustees. Trustee Damrow presented schedules showing a comparison of Trustee’s pay schedules for other municipalities in this area. After a discussion it was decided to take no action at this time.
  2. Discussion on American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant application for fish passage at the Milwaukee River dam. Engineer Bednarski suggested that the Village apply for this grant to create a fish ladder at the east end of the dam. Because Bonestroo is already heavily involved with this process in Ozaukee County there would be no cost to the Village to prepare the grant application, and the costs of repairing the dam would be included in the application. This could result in the dam being repaired at virtually no cost to the Village if the grant is awarded. The Village would be acting as the sponsor, and it was agreed to put this on the agenda for the next Board meeting.
  3. Discussion and possible action on request for payment by Heartland Construction in the amount of $191,305.90 for the Franklin and Division Reconstruction Project. A motion was made by Trustee Beitz and seconded by Trustee Chesak to pay Heartland. Motion passed 7- 0.
