New Business:
3) Fire Condition Advisory Signs.  Rich Kinka, on behalf of the
Glidden Drive Association, made a presentation and requested the
Board’s support of their efforts to install three fire condition
warning signs along Glidden Drive.  The cost of the signs and posts
would be paid for by the Association, and the Association would be in
charge of their maintenance.  Rich had a sign available, which would
indicate a “caution,” “medium,” or “high” fire advisory level.  The
signs would be subject to any applicable visibility and/or
right-of-way restrictions.  Fire Chief Herlache was present and 
indicated his support for the project.  Following the presentation and
discussion, motion by Woelfel and 

seconded by Staveness to support the Association in its efforts for
placement of the fire advisory signs on Glidden Drive.  Motion
carried.  Clerk will forward letter to Commissioner Kolodziej-Door
County Highways.

5)  Fire Protection Services.  Girman presented the proposed Fire
Protection Service Agreement recently negotiated between the City of
Sturgeon Bay and the Town based upon the previous Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) .  The fee will now be based upon the greater of
the following two calculations:  (a) previous year fee plus one-half
mil per thousand of new construction completed during the year; or (b)
fee from the previous year plus percentage increase equal to Sturgeon
Bay Fire Department budgeted operating expense.  In either event, the
percentage increase will be capped at 5% per year.  Chief Herlache
indicated that the agreement will be reviewed by the City Council on
May 16th.  Once approved by the City Council, a formal agreement with
appropriate attachments will be submitted for execution by the
parties.  Chairman Zipperer commended Girman for his time, effort and
“stick-to-it-tiveness” and Girman responded with a thank you to the
City and Chief Herlache for their cooperation and efforts, as well. 
Motion by Girman and seconded by Woelfel to accept the proposed
agreement, with the minor correction to add “budgeted” operating
expense at Sec. 3.B.  Motion carried.
