Continued/Pending Business:

Walker & Peterson Roads Status:

asphalt and it has been shouldered; the majority of the work is done. 


Website Update:
Wait will be ordering software to enable transfer of Word documents to
the website and will clarify email address.

Paserware Status:
Olsen presented the color-coded map showing Town roads and assigned
ratings--the result of the Paserware road inspection on October 13,
2001.

Special Report:
7:27 p.m.   Karen Christenson, Shelter Director, and Cheri Stephan,
Vice President, of the Door County Humane Society, were present. 
Karen presented handouts and reported on the development of the
facility over the past three years of its operation, its budget needs
and education/responsibilities of pet ownership.  Over 95% of the
animals that come in to the shelter 

are either returned to their homes or are adopted by new families. 
There have been discussions with the County on the need for animal
control personnel and enforcement of pet ordinances.  They hope to
eventually offer an on-call or pick-up service to the municipalities,
perhaps on a cost-share basis.  Questions and discussion followed. 
Karen will keep us advised on the status.

Dock Feasibility Application:
Zipperer has submitted the financial assistance application to
Department of Natural Resources Waterways Commission.

Surveys – Moeller Road/Moeller Drive, Mathew Road:
Zipperer received two bills from Baudhuin for the work completed to
date on Moeller Drive and Moeller Road.  Zipperer has received a
survey on Mathew and there is insufficient right-of-way to build a cul
de sac.  Even if the radius was reduced to 85 feet from 100 feet, the
R/O/W would still require additional property. 

Bosman Parcel:
Olsen viewed the property on Clark Lake and spoke with the neighboring
property owner.  The assessment roll reflects .16 acres assessed at
$24,500 with real estate taxes of $323.16.  Matter will be referred to
legal counsel and set over to next meeting.

Building Ordinance:
Olsen and Schley reported that the Planning and Zoning Committee is
reviewing the matter.

Budget Work Session:
The budget work session was held on Monday, October 8, 2001.

issued to Joseph Parent, Northeast Asphalt Inc., Parent Construction

Fee Increase/Collection of Property Taxes January 2002 – Door County
Treasurer:
The rate will increase from $.30 a parcel to $.35 per parcel and from
the standard fee of $175 to $200.  Increase for our Town will be
$190.60, for a total of $1,359.20.

Waste Management – Recycling program:
This pertains to an agreement previously entered into between the
County of Door and Town of Sevastopol in 1991, which provided that the
County act as the responsible unit for a recycling program.  Waste
Management has now been retained to operate the recycling facility. 
We do not have curbside collection and this agreement does not apply.
