To accommodate the majority of persons present, the Committee
reviewed the resurfacing of the Bass Bay and Kurtze Lane Roads.
Chairman DeAngelis explained what had transpired at the last
meeting and advised those present that the Finance Committee did
not feel the City should pay for the road. A discussion followed
with the people in the Bass Bay area expressing the feeling that
they are paying their share and the City should pay for the
road. The Committee made no recommendation to the Council.
Mr. Narlock appeared with Al and Ray Badertscher from Field Drive
to discuss a drainage problem which has caused a backup of water
from a blockage on City-owned property. Ald. Tomczyk stated he
felt funds should be provided in the 1986 Public Works budget for
such projects. The Committee agreed. There are no funds in the
1985 budget for the Public Works Department to clean drainage
ditches.
The Committee discussed the status of obtaining the easements for
the Tess Corners/Hwy. 24 Drainage Project. supt. Bertram advised
that the titles were being updated at this time and upon receipt
of that information, he would proceed to obtain the easements.
He requested the Mayor to contact Pat Trockel of the DNR to urge the prompt approval of this project and the Tess Corners/Gaulke
Drive Drainage Project.
The Committee discussed the City's takeover of Hwy. 24 from the
State. Supt. Bertram advised that Supv. Guhr had arranged a
meeting with State officials, which he and Mayor Salentine
attended, and the State appeared very eager to eliminate the
highway from their jurisdiction. Supt. Bertram felt that if the
City were to take over Hwy. 24 it would lose money. No
recommendation was made by the Committee.
The Committee discussed an erosion problem on Hickory Lane.
Supt. Bertram advised the Committee that the problem has existed
for many years, and a driveway causing the problem should have
been asphalted years ago. Ald. Tomczyk will investigate and
discuss a solution with the property owner.
