BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
r--
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD MAY 12, 1987
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Salentine at 7:40
P.M. Also present were Commissioners DeAngelis, Dumke, Hilt,
Patterson, Penovich, Sanders and Taube and City Clerk Stewart.
Commissioner Penovich moved for approval of minutes of meeting
held 2/10/87. Commissioner Hilt seconded, carried.
Personal Appearance - Cathy Aron, Wind Lake Management District,
appeared to discuss water quality. Also present was Mark
Anderson of the DNR. Ms. Aron asked what could be done to take
care of Big Muskego Lake problems which create problems for Wind
Lake. She stated the new gate on the dam now lets raw fish down
the channel and if a fence could be put up on the Muskego side of
the channel it could contain the raw fish, and they would be
willing to work to that end.
Mayor advised that at this time the City of Muskego has not taken
over the dam. Mr. Anderson stated that the crank for the dam is
still with the City of Muskego. He asked that the Big Lake
District and the Wind Lake District work together to solve the
problem of water quality.
Mr. Anderson stated a fence could keep some of the larger carp
from going downstream, but he would have to talk to the DNB's
water regulation people to see what kind of fence would be best
and not be a potential impediment to navigation. Mayor Salentine
felt it could be quite a maintenance problem.
Mr. Nick Aron stated a fence across the entire channel would not
be necessary, but just in front of the gate. There is a problem
only when the gate is open.
Deputy Commissioner Pilak felt a fence in front of the gate would
be the best solution, and noted that Bass Bay is clearing up
nicely.
Mr. Anderson said he had recommended drawing down Big Muskego
Lake in the past.
Deputy Commissioner Klenz felt a joint meeting should be held
between the Deputy Commissioners and the Wind Lake District
Commissioners.
Deputy Commissioner Proeber expressed concern with fencing it off
due to the amount of weeds and bulrushes which would create a
problem of keeping it clean.

Mr. Anderson said he would report what type of fence can be
constructed. Aron and Proeber will work out a date for meeting
and the Clerk will issue notice.
Mayor Salentine advised Ms. Aron that the area on Hwy. 36 where
there was concern over erosion was State-owned property. Ms.
Aron stated she had discussed this with the DNR and the County.
She said the Building Inspector has stated there is a violation
of the City's erosion control ordinance and asked if the State
can be allowed to violate ordinances.
Mayor Salentine stated that the Building Inspector felt the State
should enforce their own erosion control ordinances.
Commissioner Taube questioned if the State had such an ordinance.
Mr. Anderson felt that local zoning does have some application on
State-owned land and suggested the Department of Transportation
be contacted.
Commissioner Taube suggested a letter be sent to the DOT and if
they cannot give an opinion they could be invited to the deputy
commissioners meeting. The Zoning Officer was requested to write
the letter.
Commissioner DeAngelis reported on the status of Emerald Park
Sanitary landfill. Mayor reported on the proposed landfill
legislation which is tied to the budget bill, and his contact
with Wis. Power and Light, the holding company.
Mayor reported on the status of wetland/shoreland mapping,
indicating four items have been sent to the DNR and response
given. FLOW communities are objecting to the State mandating
jurisdiction over local controls.
Mayor reported on the status of amended sewer service area,
indicating approval of the amendment to the sewer service area
has been given by the DNR. Next a feasibility study will have to
be done which will cost approximately $30,000, and will be
discussed at next Sewer Committee meeting.
DeAngelis asked Deputies to look
someone to go with him and noted
DeAngelis will provide a map.
