TOWN OF MILTON
TOWN BOARD MEETING
September 15, 2010
Chairperson Platteter called the meeting to order at the Milton Town Hall at 7:30 p.m. with all board members present. Also present was 1 community member.
Informal Public Comment: None.
Bills: Bills were presented. Supervisor Dienger made a motion to pay all bills except those associated with the Waumandee Creek Road resurface project (Kraemer and Reglin and Hesch). On those two bills, the motion was to pay the amounts due, but only after verifying Allied Construction as to whether the bills should be paid directly by the Town to the creditors or should be paid to Allied for distribution to the creditors. Motion seconded by Supervisor Bagniewski. (motion passed).
Approval of Minutes: Clerk Engel had posted on the website in advance the minutes from the August 18, 2010 meeting. Supervisor Bagniewski made a motion to approve the minutes; seconded by Supervisor Dienger. (motion passed).
Other Business:
• Flooding Damage: Chairperson Platteter met with the FEMA officials last week. They were looking for approximate numbers to determine whether the region qualified for FEMA Aid. Apparently the damage must exceed 7.7 million for the counties and 1.3 million must be from Buffalo County. If FEMA declares a disaster, FEMA would pay 75% of the damages and the state would pay another 12.5%, leaving the town’s share at 12.5%. If they do not, the state would provide 75% of the cost, provided that the Town adopts the Flood Damage Aids Petition. Upon a motion by Supervisor Bagniewski and a second by Supervisor Dienger, the Town Board adopted the Flood Damages Aids Petition dated September 15, 2010. Clerk Engel will send a copy of the Petition to David Brevick at Buffalo County.
• Election Update: Forty-two voters cast ballots at yesterday’s primary election.
• Roads Update: Chairperson Platteter will contact Allied to find out when blacktopping will be completed. Paul Duellman will install the guardrail in the area of the flood damaged road and will also mow weeds in the next week or so. Supervisor Dienger asked that other board members keep an eye on Lower Eagle Valley Road, where a new home is going in, to make sure that the roads are not getting damaged from construction vehicles
• CapX 2020: Supervisor Platteter contacted Grant Stevenson, Senior Project Manager for Xcel Energy, regarding the CapX 2020 project. Mr. Stevenson stated that the reason the #1 designated route travels through the subdivisions near the racetrack is because Xcel always uses existing routes as a #1 route. However, Xcel does not intend to use that route, but rather use a route that runs along the railroad tracks until just south of the Pinecrest subdivision, which will then cut across the Haney property to connect up with the existing route. Additionally, once the new route is established, all existing lines will be merged with the new CapX 2020 route. This is not likely to occur for several years, as Xcel is still in the permit stage.
• Other: Clerk Engel distributed information on an upcoming Wisconsin Towns Association Convention in LaCrosse.
Adjournment: Motion to adjourn by Supervisor Dienger and seconded by Supervisor Bagniewski. (motion passed).
Meeting adjourned 7:53 p.m.
