TOWN OF PORT EDWARDS MONTHLY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Date: July 9th, 2018 Call to Order: Chairman Randy Moody opened the Town Board Meeting at 6:00p.m. in the Town Hall with the Pledge of Allegiance. Meeting Certification: This meeting has been properly posted (on the Town’s three posting boards, on the Town Hall door, on the Town website and in the Daily Tribune) to notify the public of date, place, time, and agenda. Attendance: Chairman Randy Moody, Supervisor Tim Schmidt, Treasurer Kathy Reese, Clerk Michelle Sorenson. Road superintendent Allen Goodness along with a couple members of the public were also in attendance.

Total disbursements for the month of June were $18,286.14. Treasurer and Clerk Financial Reports: The Treasurer and Clerk reports were reviewed by the Board. All reports balance. Total Town money as of June 30th, 2018, is $248,665.50. Motion was made by Schmidt and seconded by Moody to accept the financial reports. Motion carried. Correspondence: Chairman received a timber cutting permit for Roger Griffin and shared an email asking the Board to pass a transportation resolution. Old Business: Chairman talked with Bill Arendt about digging the ditch on Creamery. Arendt was not interested in the job but he did say he would take the spoils if we had the ditch dug by the County. Water flow seems to be an issue on the west end of Creamery where the Town is replacing the bridge with a culvert. Bill Arendt suggested putting in a bulkhead but that is not a good idea for several reasons. Road Superintendent would like to see us add another culvert 1 to help keep the road in good condition. To help improve water flow the Town can either dig the ditch at a cost of $1700-2000 (which would require landowner Ron Arendt to install 3 driveway culverts at his expense) or install an additional culvert. Chairman will talk with Bill Arendt, Ron Arendt, and Roland Hawk in an effort to coordinate what happens. Public input: The Road Superintendent informed the Board that the very east end of Grunewald Lane is collecting a mass amount of garbage. He suggested looking into either selling that land to a surrounding land owner so it can be gated off or research what the Town needs to do to be able to gate that area off. Supervisor Schmidt will look to see if we are getting road aids for that road. Next Scheduled Board Meeting: The next regularly scheduled Town Board Meeting is set for Monday August 13th, 2018, at 6:00p.m. The meeting will be conducted at the Town Hall. Adjourn: Schmidt made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:20p.m. and Moody seconded. All were in favor and the motion carried. Respectfully submitted, Michelle Sorenson, Clerk 2
