PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

ROLL CALL-Elsie Jensen, Paal Hansen, Erv Limberg, Bob MacIntosh, Harley Trosch, and Tawny Booth were all present. Also present were Jim Wisneski, and Mike Donnick and his wife.

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

APPROVAL OF MINUTES- Harley Trosch moved to approve as printed and Bob MacIntosh seconded. Motion carried.

OLD BUSINESS-Construction Deposit Agreement is tabled until Erv Limberg meets with Town Board Chair - Ann Hogan to revise the agreement.

NEW BUSINESS- Approval to grant access for ATV travel on Nolting Lane - Jim Wisneski. Jim Wisneski from Hidden Bear Trail ATV Club presented a petition for ATV access on Nolting Lane which is a dead end road off of Tar Dam road, Brett Freiberg one of the property owners obtained 6 out of 8 signatures from property owners who agree to allow access. Majority vote gets the approval. Erv Limberg motioned to approve the recommendation to the Town Board for access of ATV travel on Knolting Lane, Paal Hansen, seconded. Motion carried.
Jim Wisneski also wanted to discuss an update he received about the Mountain Lakes Road ATV Connector Project. They would like to get access from Hwy 64 and County T to Thelen Road. The ATV club finally got something in writing from the Forest Service Called Mountain Lakes Road ATV Connector Scoping Notice, Jim handed out the Notice to all who were present. The District Manager will determine whether or not this project will proceed, and if so, where and under what conditions it will proceed, they have to conduct an Environmental Assessment. In this Scoping Notice they are asking for comments in support of this proposal and the more comments they get in favor of the proposal the better and Jim would like the Planning Commission or the Town Board to submit their comments. Page 5 of the notice shows who and where to send the comments to. If this does go forward as planned this would reduce the ATV traffic on Maiden Lake Road.
Welcome new planning commissioner Mike Donnick who is replacing Erv Limberg who states that "change is good". Thank you goes out to Erv for serving and doing a great job on the Planning Commission board.
Fire Works Ordinance -Harley Trosch presented the Fire Works Ordinance under Wisconsin State Statute Chapter 167 under safeguards 167.10 that no person may possess or use fireworks without a user's permit. If the state or county officials are not going to enforce this ordinance, how can the town enforce it, without having a town law enforcement or town judicial system. Recommendation to Town Board is to communicate the Firework Ordinance on website and the next newsletter that the town of Riverview does not allow fireworks without a permit. Paal motion to recommend to town. Erv Limberg, seconded. Motion Carried.
Multimodal Application Consideration - Paal received a post card from the WI Dept of Transportation that they have some grant money available to start a bike route with a trail head starting and ending in Riverview. Recommendation is to suggest to the Town for approval to apply for grant and possibly include the 6 towns.
Event Sign - There was money set aside in the budget at one time for a Lap Top to be used at the Planning Commission meetings for about $1000 and Paal wants to make a recommendation to the town board to obtain an event sign out front of the town hall instead and have an outlet installed to post special events. One of the first things that Paal would like to post is Friday Afternoon Farmer's Market and use that sign to help promote it.

ANY AND ALL OTHER BUSINESS
