The following plans for road maintenance/construction were reviewed:

- $30,000 has been budgeted for chip sealing. Roads need to be determined.

- $6500 for Storm Water at Edgewater Beach Road

- $4500 for culvert at Hickory Nut Road

- $15,000 for stormwater management to provide storm sewer from the detention pond

adjacent to Sandpiper Way. Remainder of costs to be paid by developer and property

owners. Wyatt Anderson stated that he had contact with the DNR who indicated that a storm sewer would increase erosion problems Instead some funds should be spent

to improve the ditches.

- Spring breakup of roads is not too bad. Craanen Road and Hemlock Road are showing

the impact of high traffic due to the closing of Church Road for bridge construction.

Bridges have been inspected by Brown County. No major problems were noted. Culverts

and storm water drainage should be looked at at the intersections of Champeau Road and Algoma Road with Bay Settlement Road. Motion was made by Mel Deprey to raise $15,000 for the Bridge Fund with a matching amount by Brown County. Second by Bob Pum. Vote: Aye-22, No-0. Carried

Vote: Aye-11, No-11. Tie Vote. No action. There are two constables currently authorized and the positions will continue.

The old Town Hall is deteriorating. Neighbors are interested in the land and would consider replacing the storage facility at the site of the new Town Hall. Options are to maintain it so that it does not become an eyesore or repair it and make it a usable storage facility. Jason Horkman will evaluate the status of the building and obtain estimates to make needed improvements.

The interest rate for Town Hall land purchased from Scott Sanitary District #1 is 1% less than the rate of the Local Government Investment Pool. This puts the rate at less than 1%. Mel Deprey made a motion to authorize payment of up to 3% interest on the outstanding balance. Second by Jason Horkman. Vote: Aye-18, No-3, Abstain-1 Carried.
