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

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

ROLL CALL-Elsie Jensen, Paal Hansen, Bob MacIntosh, Harley Trosch, Mike Donnick and Tawny Booth 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- Harley Trosch moved to approve as printed and Paal Hansen seconded. Motion carried.

OLD BUSINESS-The Construction Deposit Agreement was brought up that the Town Board chose to go in a different direction than what the Planning Commission recommended and to make sure that the Planning Commissioners understood that, which is alright, it is ultimately the Town Boards decision.

NEW BUSINESS - Bob MacIntosh was made aware of two opportunities that exist out there, one being the Coastal Zone Grant and that there are funds made available from the federal government. Because Oconto County has coastal interface all of Oconto County is available for this grant. The types of work that can be done with this grant include the betterment of lakes, rivers, and streams which protects them from milfoil and other invasive species. The Oconto County Economic Development was asked at their last meeting to start the process to submit to the state/federal government and what is needed to begin this process, only have until November to submit for this grant, but there is significant dollars that are available. There is a need to pull all of the communities together for the submission and there may not be sufficient time for this particular grant, however, it doesn't mean this grant would not be available again.
The Focus on Energy Grant is something that the Planning Commission can pursue for an activity. There are grant dollars available for adding solar to municipal buildings for an alternative energy source that can pay for the most part all of the process, however, there will need to be additional research, but would be a great opportunity for the Town to get involved with this grant. Once all the information is made available for this grant it should be made aware to all the towns that this grant is available.

ANY AND ALL OTHER BUSINESS

ADJOURNMENT-Harley Trosch moved to adjourn and Mike Donnick seconded. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:25pm.

Respectfully submitted,
