Meeting Minutes

TOWN OF HAMILTON REGULAR BOARD MEETING TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2021 APPROVE MINUTES Chairman Blaine Lee called the November board meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. and the Pledge of Allegiance followed. Chairman Blaine Lee, Supervisors Kevin Hoyer and Paul Degenhardt, Treasurer Katie Reding and Clerk Sara Schultz were present. MINUTES: The clerk read the minutes from the previous board meeting and were approved by motions made by Degenhardt and Hoyer. Motion passed. AGENDA: Lee read the agenda for the evening and it was approved by Degenhardt and supported with a second by Hoyer. Motion carried. There was no public comment. CERTIFIED SURVEY MAP: Barb Gilster (W3070 Old Hwy 16) presented a certified survey map to the board members and a description of the property which included an easement for the driveway. Since we have accepted the comprehensive plan, construction of the new home can begin. Degenhardt motioned to approve the chairman signing the CSM and Hoyer seconded the motion. Motion carried. MAPLE GROVE VENUES: Nate Anderegg and Steve Nicolai from Maple Grove Venues were in attendance and addressed the issue of road requirements in their CUP. #12 states they must comply with the La Crosse County Highway Commissioner’s recommendations by year 2022 as follows: Construct turn lanes and bypass lanes as required to facilitate large events or as an alternative, develop an internal roadway and parking system that facilitates quick and safe transition of vehicles coming in or exiting the facility. The board said they support amending this condition since MGV uses shuttle services for large events and there has never been a problem with traffic nor have we received any complaints. It was also stated that the fairgrounds do not have turn or bypass lanes during their large events (a letter was sent to zoning/planning resource & development regarding this). SEH: Jeremy Tomesh was not present at the meeting. DOG ORDINANCE: Treasurer Reding presented an ordinance stating a 3 dog limit over 5 months old regardless of where they lived in the township. Lee moved to approve this while Degenhardt seconded the motion. Carried. ROAD REPORT: The guardrail mower has been fixed and Jason has been a good job mowing. Lee mentioned the state wanting to add a 6’ wide bridge over the La Crosse River on the bike trail. We feel this is the state’s responsibility and is not ours to maintain it. RECYCLING CENTER: The Recycler will be going to print in the next week and will be mailed out the beginning of December. FINANCIAL REPORT: The financial reports were handed out and reviewed. Degenhardt and Hoyer motioned to approve and the motion carried. The bills were paid at this time and were approved by Hoyer and Degenhardt. Carried. A meeting of the Maple Grove Estates Sanitary District is scheduled before our next monthly board meeting on Tuesday, December 14th at 7:00 p.m. Meeting was adjourned at 8:35 p.m. with motions made by Degenhardt and Hoyer. _______________________ Sara Schultz, Clerk
