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

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

ROLL CALL-Elsie Jensen, Paal Hansen, Mike Donnick, Bob MacIntosh, Harley Trosch, 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- Any and all business was a repeat from the May meeting should have been removed and one typo was fixed. Elsie Jensen moved to approve as printed and Paal Hansen seconded. Motion carried.

OLD BUSINESS-Construction Deposit Agreement Erv Limberg and Ann Hogan met and the updated version of the agreement was brought to the July town board meeting, however, there was not enough time to go over it, therefore, it was tabled until the August town board meeting. Elsie Jensen brought up that the agreement that they received at the town board meeting stated that Duff Leaver would be in charge of the deposit agreement and the money would go to him and put in an escrow. When he went out to do his final inspection and issue the occupancy permit the property owner would then get their deposit back as long as there was no damage done to town property. The Planning Commission final decision was to recommend for the Town of Riverview that anyone applying for a building permit would have to deposit money in an escrow to cover damages to roads so that the town is covered for the expenses in repairing them, once the certificate of occupancy is issued the town would go back and inspect to make sure there is no damage. Planning commission wants clarification from the Town Board that even though Duff Leaver acts as an agent for the town, the money for the construction deposit should go into a town account. Elsie Jensen also brought up that there was damage done to town property when a driveway was put in by the Hillendale subdivision and could we make this part of the construction deposit agreement. The Planning Commission recommendation to the town board is to add language to the Driveway Permit that if there is any damage done to town property in the process of installing driveways that the property owner would be responsible for fixing to the towns satisfaction.
Town Board did approve the event sign and the sign is already purchased and put out by the highway.
Town did approve to apply for grant for bike route. There was some work started on this project however it was destroyed in the tornado. The recommendation was that we need to have an organization in the area where enthusiasts for biking could belong to and bring to us what their needs are and what their recommendations are. Bob MacIntosh has some books that he has accumulated during research where there are recommended routes on hard surfaces and some that are on dirt or gravel trails that are open for forest service trails that are published throughout the state in books and magazines but expanding that within a town. Paal Hansen has an offer from a guy who started wheel and sprocket to help us put something together.
Onsite visit with WPS to look at our current capacity? Bob MacIntosh has not met with Tim McGuire about this yet but will set something up with him.

NEW BUSINESS- Park Development-Paal Hansen has put together some ideas mainly for the Planning Commission to exchange on what he feels should continue with the park development and also listed what has already been completed. Paal is asking for any ideas or suggestion we could add. He would like to start with applying for grants for all of his plans and whatever we get we get. The farmers market will be starting on Fridays from 3-6 let Paal know if we know of any farmers who want to sell their produce. Paal has ideas for a band shell or a gazebo to put on the town property. The planning commission recommends Paal to obtain pictures and show where on the property these items would be placed and post on the town website to see if anyone would be interested or comment on these plans.
Gypsy moth control- Early reports show that there are a lot of moths out there and the egg sacks are being noticed. What the planning commission needs to do is see what needs to be done in each of the communities and the recommendation or action the town should take. Right now it looks like we would have to do private work and what the cost would be. Jerry Yaedke is currently working with the Town to determine where infestations are. He will be coming to the next town board meeting on August 10th, 2010 at 6:30pm to discuss gypsy moths and give a report on what property owners can do to get rid of them.
