ANNOUNCEMENTS
Chairman Fahey informed the board that he had been in contact with the Monroe Fire School and they would take the mobile home located in Dayton as is, if it was delivered to them in Monroe for their fire training burn in September. They only take 6 and they have 3 right now. Chair Fahey stated that he had informed Dani Morgan, who lives across the road, that she would have a place to dispose of it at her expense upon receiving approval to remove it from the deceased owner's family. Chairman Fahey informed her that the Town would not be financially responsible for its removal but she now had a way of disposing of it without having to scrap it out.
Chairman Fahey also noted that the Belleville EMS had received the new ambulance therefore had for sale the unit it was replacing. It has low miles and new tires and the EMS is asking $2,500.

CITIZEN INPUT
Brian Diaz was present to ask if the fourth and fifth grade groups of the Bobcat Football team could use the park this fall for practices if the Belleville Community Park is under construction. Practices involve approximately 45-50 kids plus coaches, about 40-50 vehicles. They would cut the grass and line the field for markers and would be willing to get together and fill holes in the field once it is determined where the best place would be for practice. Chair Fahey informed him that the board is considering renting a roller to run across the majority of the lot to try to smooth it, as it is a rough surface in areas. The board is in full support of the Bobcat program using the park, Brian would provide a firm schedule if indeed they use the park.

OLD BUSINESS
Recycling Center- Marc Peterson stated that the large item disposal fee continues to be received well at the Recycling Center.

Park- Mark Gundlach informed the board the donations continued to come in from the mailing. A pig roast and prize drawing is being planned for September with the possible addition of a band. Reserving the shelter was briefly mentioned but would be discussed further at the Park meeting in July.

Sunset Ridge- The clerk has received a letter from the New Glarus School board in regards to the New Glarus School district traveling on Sunset Ridge Road for pick up and drop off of students. The board discussed the letter and the need to involve the Town Attorney for legal advice. Supervisor Gundlach made a motion advising the clerk to send a letter to the residents of Sunset Ridge Road stating that the information gathered will be forwarded to the Town Attorney upon receipt of $500 to be placed in an escrow account to cover legal fees incurred. Seconded by Supervisor Zweifel, all ayes.

LaVerne Dohm- LaVerne questioned why the variances were not listed in the May minutes. The clerk read the May minutes that did indeed list the variances approved by the board. LaVerne then asked about some of the detail the Town Attorney had in the request for a revised Affidavit of driveway maintenance. Chair Fahey explained that the Town Attorney can only work off of the information provided and that the he had a generalized statement to cover all interpretation of the items necessary in the Affidavit. LaVerne then asked for an estimate of the cost for the Town Attorney to draw up the revised Affidavit in the manner required. Chair Fahey stated that we might not be able to get an exact estimate as Attorney Clark works on a time and material basis. Chair Fahey requested the clerk send a message to Attorney Clark's office asking for an estimate and that if and when an estimate is received she call LaVerne.

Liquor License- The clerk had received all necessary applications for the 2010- 2011 Liquor, Tobacco and Operator licenses. The checks had been done and Edelweiss has paid for the licenses to date. The clerk had received two additional operators in the mail that day and did the necessary checks and would bill Edelweiss for the two additional licenses. Motion to approve by Zweifel/ Gundlach. All ayes.

The Meadows and Story Creek (2)- The board discussed the progress being made by J & J Development and A. J. Investments in regards to seeking bids for the completion of their subdivision roads. John Baker has forwarded a letter to the board of his request for a bid from various vendors. John had also asked for a bid for the Story Creek project in this letter. The board discussed the slow progress being made and the fact that Andy King had not even picked up his Certified letter from the post office, as it had been returned to the Clerk. The board decided that a deadline should be established to have in the office a signed contract for the completion of both projects. Supervisor Gundlach made a motion to set a deadline of July 12, the next board meeting to, to have in the office signed contracts for both projects to be completed by September 15, 2010. If contracts are not received by the deadline the Town will proceed with getting a bid and completing the roads at the expense of the above mentioned developers per the established Development agreements. Supervisor Zweifel seconded the motion, all ayes, the clerk will send certified letters notifying J & J Development and A. J. Investments of this mandatory deadline.

The board discussed the site for a salt shed and decided that they would meet at the Recycling Center to locate a possible building site.
