September 30, 2010 Special Meeting RE: Waumandee Creek Road
Special Meeting, 9/30/2010
Meeting was opened at 7:30 pm by Chairman Platteter
Chairperson Platteger and Supervisor Dienger and Bagnewski were present. Also, 8 town residents were present.
The chairman explained that the purpose of the meeting was only to determine the path forward on the Waumandee Creek Road washout. He also explained what had all transpired from the first storm in August to date. He went on to explain that we have had a couple other contractors come in and look over the site, and offer their point of view and suggestions. One was another local excavating company, which suggested that we back fill it in as is, but use rock instead of sand--then mortar the rip rap to tie everything together, and to cap the area with concrete to make a spillway. He did not feel that additional flow capacity was required. The other contractor was from Neillsville, WI, who builds bridges. He recognized that the waterways have changed in the area just north of the washout, and recommended that we increase the capacity of flow by adding two additional culverts. Then he also recommended building a spillway over the culverts in the same manner the other company suggested.
We then heard questions from some of the residents, like have we heard from FEMA, are there any other ways to get financial help, how about the state? The chairman explained that the first storm damage was not covered by FEMA, but we have a claim into the DOT for flood damage. Chairperson Platteter has messages in to Dave Brevick of the county highway department and to Steve Schiffli, who is heading up the FEMA claim for the second storm. He has heard back from Mr. Schiffli that they are still putting together the numbers for FEMA, and do not know if we'll qualify this time. He has not heard back from Mr. Brevick.
Kenneth Haeuser recommended that we look into grant money available to put a new bridge in. The total cost would be 10% of the cost of the bridge, which may end up being cheaper than the total cost of adding the extra concrete, etc. to the existing site. Everyone agreed that this would be the best solution.
Therefore, motion was made by Kevin Dienger, with a second by Eugene Bagniewski, we will backfill the existing structure with rock and sand as soon as possible to get the road open for now, then continue to look into grants to replace the bridge.
Other discussions were heard that were not on the agenda, no action taken.
Eugene made a motion to adjourn, with a second by Kevin at 8:10 pm.
