FINANCE COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEG0
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD JULY 7, 1976
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Gottfried at 7:OO P;M.
Also present were Committee Members Dumke, Colburn and Schaumberg
and Aldermen Pienkos and Constantineau.
Mr. Jeffrey Volz and Mr. Chris Jensen appeared to apply for an
Operator's License. Ald. Schaumberg moved to recommend approval of
an Operator's License for Jeffrey Volz and Chris Jensen subject to
receipt of favorable Fingerprint Reports.
Mr. Michael Fitzgerald appeared to discuss with the committee his
request for permission to place a ski jump in Little Muslcego Lake.
Mr. Fitzgerald indicated that he has purchased the ski jump and
would like to place it in the lake south of George's Island. He
further indicated that it would be moved to shore nightly and that
it would be used one or two nights a week. The committee noted
that the city has provisions in its Municipal Code for a two-week
permit, that if brought in to shore when not used there would be
no problems to boat traffic and that a similar request had been
received several years ago and brought objections from the majority
of the people living on the lake. It was the opinion of the committee
that since the ski jump would be used for the August 7th program to
be held at Idle Isle that a two-week trial period prior to that time
would help determine the reaction of other people using the lake.
They recommended that Mr. Fitzgerald submit his application for a
15-day permit as provided in the city's Municipal Code.
The committee received a communication from the Village of Bayside's
offer of $500.00 for the city's used voting machine. Ald. Colbum
moved to reject the offer, seconded by Ald. Schaumberg, motion
carried. Mayor Gottfried was directed to write to the Village
Manager of Bayside advising him that the city would only be inter-
ested in selling the machine for $700.00 as originally established.
The committee reviewed a request from the A. Forseth Company for
$10,462.00 as part payment for work accomplished under contracts
signed with the city's Park Board in 1975. The committee noted that
part payment had been recommended by the city's consulting park
planner and the Park and Recreation Board.
The city reviewed a communication from Gehring Crane and Hoist
Corporation regarding its decision not to build in the city's
industrial park and requested that the city consider purchasing
back the lot which they own. The committee agreed that since there
are many lots available which are still owned by the city that we
are not interested in re-purchasing the property.
The committee reviewed a communication from City Attorney Buckley
indicating that Mr. Joseph Vesbach would be willing to settle his
claim against . ~ the city in the amount -of-$~O.OO.plus-a~ttorney fees,
i"or"$&OO.OO. Ald. Schaumberg moved to recommend to the Council

The committee noted that in Resolution 1/18-76, Establishing Salaries
for Non-represented Employees, the parttime clerk working in the
Assessor's office was not included. Ald. Schaumberg moved to
recommend to the Common Council that the present salary for the
parttime clerk working in the Assessor's office be increased to
$4.18 per hour (7% increase).
