Meeting called to order by Chair Bob MacIntosh at 6:00 pm.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

ROLL CALL-Elsie Jensen, Geri Kolakowski, Erv Limberg, Bob MacIntosh and Harley Trosch were all present.

CERTIFICATION OF OPEN MEETING LAW-Minutes and Agendas were posted in all three places and on the web site.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES-Elsie Jensen moved to approve as printed and Erv Limberg seconded. Motion carried.

NEW BUSINESS-Chair Bob MacIntosh brought it to our attention that the July 5, 2010 ban on smoking in any commercial building might bring in a lot of new building permits as business owners try to accommodate all their customers. He had checked with Oconto County to see if their will be new zoning on buildings added to existing buildings for smoking? They don't seem to have a clear picture at this time. The Tavern League of Wisconsin published an article in their last monthly publication that if a structure is 75% windows and they are slide by, it is not a permanent structure. We will investigate this further and get a recommendation to the Town Board in a timely manner.
We also had a complaint about our salt shed, the noise of all the hauling and loading of material in this area. It was suggested that maybe we could go thru the parking lot along side of the Fire Hall. The blacktop on the parking lot is not the same grade as Island Lake Road and it would never hold up. This commission would recommend to all town contractors and suppliers to be considerate of our neighbors of the noise and the pedestrian traffic. The secretary will send a letter to the Town Board with this recommendation.

OLD BUSINESS-Erv Limberg has all the measurements done on the 19-acre property. He has measured all the current buildings and current uses of the property such as skating pond, parking lot, etc. He has turned all his field notes and preliminary drawing over to Bob MacIntosh. Bob, then met with Steve Gries who will add all this to the original drawing. We have other town residents who use our skating and hockey ponds who have complimented the Town of Riverview on its progressive developments. Are there other ways we can cooperatively develop recreational attractions with these other towns, using a consultant to make the best use of our natural resources? After a short discussion, some of the names suggested for this consultant were Paal Hansen and Steve Gries. This will be on the agenda for the March meeting under New Business.

ANY AND ALL OTHER BUSINESS-I advised the board that I had sent a letter to the Town Board that I would be resigning my position as commissioner as of the March meeting, because I am moving. A copy will be with these minutes.
A copy of the letter mailed to the Town on the Rustic Road project was read and the response from Chairman Ann Hogan. They will also be on file with these minutes. Elsie Jensen has not heard from any of the representatives from other towns.

NEXT MEETING-March 30, 2010, 6:00pm

ADJOURNMENT-Erv Limberg moved to adjourn and Harley Trosch seconded. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:45pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Geri Kolakowski, Commissioner,
