COMMENTS OR CONCERNS FROM THE PUBLIC: Kathy Janssen of 6333 Rosecrans Roads states votes were not taken or carried at last mtg pursuant to Sec. 60.20 of the Wis. Statutes.

Believes the State of Wisconsin and the residents would prefer the meetings be properly conducted as outlined by the statutes and pursuant to Roberts Rules of Order. Would like to see the buildability of ND-100 sent to the Zoning Commission for review and consideration. Francis Rabas would like to state as a resident/employee of the Town he spoke with Gary Moore on two occasions about the tractor repairs prior to having the repairs made. Gary Moore was to speak with Dick Bradley about the repairs. Not a conflict of interest for a Town Bd member to be an employee of the Town and it was the decision of Dick Bradley and Gary Moore to have him remove the key from the tractor and finish the fall cutting. Gary Taicher of 4408 Pine Grove Road states the hill on the north side of his driveway is sliding down which is backing up water and washing out a portion of the shoulder/road. Similar problem occurred a few years ago. Charles Winnekens states a portion of the shoulder is breaking off from Langes Corner Road, near the curve – from his mailbox to Cty Hwy T. 4 accidents occurred around this curve this past winter.
