TOWN OF MILTON
TOWN BOARD MEETING
November 17, 2010
Chairperson Platteter called the meeting to order at the Milton Town Hall at 7:25 p.m. with all board members present. Also present were six community members.
Informal Public Comment: John Losinski requested to speak on the Waumandee Creek Road Project. (see below)
Bills: Bills were presented. Discussion was had on the Waumandee Creek Road Project (see below). Supervisor Bagniewski made a motion to approve payment of all bills except those owed to Allied. Supervisor Dienger seconded the motion. (motion passed).
Approval of Minutes: Clerk Engel had posted on the website in advance the minutes from the October 20, 2010 meeting. Supervisor Dienger noted that it was Chairperson Platteter that was supposed to check on the bridge funds. With that change, Supervisor Dienger made a motion to approve the minutes; seconded by Supervisor Bagniewski. (motion passed).
Other Business:
• Waumandee Creek Road Project: There are several problems with the new road constructed by Allied. John Losinski noted that the road was raised so high that there is no longer access to several field roads on his property. At some point there is a one foot or better drop-off. He will provide photographs of this. The Board concluded that the shouldering and field road access was Allied’s responsibility. Furthermore, there are noticeable waves in the roadway, which are quite evident when it rains because the water pools. Despite an attempted repair, there is also a large bump where the old pavement meets the new pavement. Bob Platteter talked to Jeff Brenden of Allied about these issues and Brenden stated that they could be fixed, but that it would have to wait until the water was warmer so the pavement could be heated up and re-rolled. This was troublesome to the board because assuming the problems can be fixed by this method, if the project would have been done when we were told it was going to be done, these problems could have been fixed in the summer. The contract with Allied provides for ½ of the payment at completion of the project and the second half by no later than January 31, 2011. Right now, the project is not complete. Furthermore, as a TRIP Project, this roadway likely has to have an engineer certification and, with the current problems, it is questionable as to whether we could get it certified. We may not be able to get our TRIP money until the project is completely done. The Board elected to hold off on paying any of Allied’s bills until representatives from Allied could be present to explain their proposed resolution. Chairperson Platteter will invite Allied representatives to the December meeting. Chairperson Platteter will also follow up with Dave Brevik regarding whether we can get the TRIP money if the project is not complete.
• 2011 Budget: Upon a motion by Supervisor Dienger and a second by Supervisor Bagniewski, the Board approved the 2011 budget as proposed.
• Road Mileage Certification Update: Chairperson Platteter submitted the road mileage certification to the State. The town has just under 30 miles of roadway.
• Flood Damage: The Town has until November 23, 2010 to submit a Petition for the September flood damage. Kevin Dienger made a motion to adopt the previously completed Flood Damage Aids Petition. Eugene Bagniewski seconded the motion. Chairperson Platteter will submit the Petition.
• Other Road Updates: Paul Duellman will fix the edges of the new culvert by the bridge that was replaced as a result of flooding.
• First Responders: John Losinski thanked the Town for the $500 donation towards the AED devices. On behalf of the Town, Chairperson Platteter thanked the 1st Responders for the good service that they provide for Town residents.
Adjournment: Motion to adjourn by Supervisor Bagniewski and seconded by Supervisor Dienger. (motion passed).
Meeting adjourned 7:52 p.m.
