Pledge of Allegiance was observed.

Erv Limberg called the meeting to order at 6:00pm in the absence of Bob MacIntosh. Roll call was taken and Elsie Jensen, Geri Kolakowski, Erv Limberg, Harley Trosch were present. Bob MacIntosh absent. Also present were Paal Hansen and Tawny Booth.

Erv Limberg asked for the certification that we were in compliance with the open meeting law and we were. It had been posted in all three places and on the web site.

Chair asked if the minutes had been read and Erv Limberg said the date of the meeting had been the 23rd of February and not the 24th. Anything that had been discussed under old business on the 23rd of February should be under old business on the March agenda. It was brought to the secretary's attention prior to the makeup of the March agenda, so it was done right. Elsie Jensen moved to approve the minutes as corrected. Harley seconded. Motion carried.

Old Business

Uniform building codes were discussed at length. Who pays the building inspector? The original contractor or the owner is almost always the answer. Should inspection prices be different for pre-manufactured homes and stick built? There are usually only 3 inspections for pre-built verses 7 for the stick-built. Harley brought a copy of Doty's code and Geri brought a copy of the code from Langlade County so as to give us something to compare it to. There are guidelines for the new person buying land and then looking to improve on it from our town and the county. From getting their fire number, driveway permit, contacting WPS, and the county for a land use permit. We all agreed that the town should have some money in escrow until the occupancy permit is issued after the last inspection. This is the only way the town can be protected, if someone moves in before the occupancy permit is issued, or there is some damage to roads or other town property. We as a board need to know what the town gets for permits. Does the Town pay the inspector anything? Who would collect this escrow and who would enforce it? What inspections is the inspector doing for the Town of Riverview? Plans, foundations, connections to the septic system, framing, wiring, heating and checks when the plumbers are doing pressure checks. Should there be a difference for new construction verses alterations and additions? For example; New construction and pre-manufactured dwellings over $10,000.00 would require an escrow deposit of $1,000.00 and alterations or additions over $10,000.00 would be an escrow deposit of $500.00. Harley Trosch moved to table this and Erv Limberg will come back with wording that best fits the Town of Riverview and our situation. Geri Kolakowski seconded. Motion carried.
The parks and recreation recommendation to the 6 Town Boards will be determined after the April 14th meeting of that group to see what the position entails. We will be recommending to the Town Board that they pay a consultant to maintain and update our website with the things that will promote our parks and recreation activities. He is also willing to do newspaper articles. We have asked Paal Hansen to come back with a fee for these services so we can have all the information to make this recommendation.

New Business

Harley Trosch had the new commissioner; Paal Hansen read and sign his affirmation to do this to the best of his ability.

Next meeting will be April 27, 2010 at 6:00pm at the Riverview Town Hall.

Harley Trosch moved to adjourn and Elsie Jensen seconded. Motion carried.
