CORRESPONDENCE – No comments have been received via e-mail from reviewers. BUSINESS – 1. Town Complaints: • Sheriff updated review: Some citizens have been complaining of snowmobilers riding through ditches past their property. • There has been some citizens putting obstacles (brush, logs, etc.) in the ditches to block or try to prevent snowmobilers from riding through. It was discussed how by doing so most likely could make folks liable if someone was hurt\killed by such obstacles. How this affects ordinance proposals will be discussed further. 2. Discussion of Ordinances by Committee Members: • It was noted that to adopt Oconto County Zoning Ordinance for the Town of Little Suamico Chapter 14 Section 14.3053 states it would have to be adopted within one year of the written Ordinance. That is well past, so we will have to contact our attorney. Kory Rentmeester will take up the honor of doing just that. Any questions or concerns shall be directed to Kory. • Chapter 3 – Committee recommended changes and deletions of specific sub chapters will be sent to the Town Board, and once adopted may be put up for notice. • Chapter 4 – Looking at adding more nuisance details in our ordinances. Wis. State Statutes Chapter 823 more closely details those! We will look this chapter over and possibly recommend adopting those as reference. • Sub Chapter 4.03 – Alcohol Beverage Reg. Looking at adopting by reference State Statutes, but must be approved by the Town Board. • Sub Chapter 4.04 – Adopt dog ordinance as proposed except exotic animals which can be referenced by State Statutes and Oconto County Ordinance. 3.
