Brian Sladek from Lincoln County Emergency Management explained the Pre-Disaster Mitigation plan.
He said that it is mandated by the federal government that towns and counties have a plan in place before the event of a disaster. The town can adopt the Lincoln County plan.

Smith asked that her computer at the hall be set up for and connected to the Internet in order to download and use the maps that have been provided by Lincoln County Zoning. This will be discussed at the September 19th meeting.
Robert M. Smith from Taylor Lane appeared to state his opposition to the weekly renting of a house near him. He stated that there is 5x5–foot sign on Green Acres Road. He said that it was purchased by William and Sue Yunk in February and that they have been renting it out and are now going to apply for a conditional use permit.
Road Consultant Byron Lange reported that there have been no new developments on Sand Lane since the attorney’s had met. Gravel has been crushed and Hillcrest, Iverson and Dotter Roads will now be graveled. Crack filling is finished.
The asked that that the board approve blacktopping Hillcrest Road, Geoffroy or Vacation Lane, depending on what the budget will allow.
He will contact North Central Regional to see if a traffic count can be done on Kings Road.
A letter will be written to Robert Henderson on Deer Lake Road concerning installation of their driveway without a culvert. The driveway permit called for a 12” diameter – 30-foot culvert.
Gerald Dvorak had concerns about the condition of the shoulders on Selmer Road. Lange told him that the town would be out the week of the 19th cleaning up the shoulders.
Marie Hinojsa appeared to ask about Behling Road. The shoulders are filled in and the culvert is blocked. Lange said that the road needed rebuilding and it might possible be put on the two or five year road plan.
M/M Bartz/Jelinek to approve the request for road easement for the Jentsch property on Eagle Lane that is needed for to replace a septic system. 4-0
Due to low usage at the Sunset Point dumpsite there will be only one attendant on Wednesday and Saturday during the winter months. Ernie Pflum will be the regular attendant and Judy Reason will be first call fill-in at both dumpsites.
Supervisor Jelinek said that the town zoning maps have to be updated which will be time consuming and that there is software that has to be downloaded into the computer to do this. He feels that whoever does it should be compensated for the time. He feels that Diana Smith has the knowledge and is the most capable. Supervisor Koth said that he feels that it will fit into this years budget without a problem.
Huston, seconded by Bartz, made a motion to have Smith do the updates and to compensate her for her time at the hourly rate she is now paid. Smith stated that nothing can be done until it is determined it the computer can be brought up to date and connected to the Internet which will be on the October agenda.
The thermostat in the hall is hard to program and Phyllis Evans asked about the possibility of having one easier to use installed. For now it will be set on manual and see if that works.
The clerk will call Dave Lemke to have him finish the survey of Crystal Beach and Theisen area.
Supervisor Bartz had nothing to report on the cemetery.
Supervisor Koth reported that ARM would be using Kahle Park for the Harley weekend and that is the last rental for the year. ARM has asked that a sink be installed in the men’s bathroom, but there is no drain.
M/M Bartz/Koth to adopt Chapter 17 of the Lincoln County Zoning code effective November 14, 2005. 4-0
John Swarmer asked about the Tannery Road intersection. He said it is bad and that water collects and freezes during the winter making it dangerous. The board will look at it.
It was decided to have yard waste pick-up at the Tannery site every spring and fall.
The bids for a new truck were discussed. No decision was made, as there was not enough time before the meeting to draw up a spreadsheet for the board. Koth will draw it up and it will be placed on the agenda for the next special meeting.
M/M Koth/Jelinek to adjourn. 4-0
