Special Report 7:30 p.m.  - Independent Inspections, Ltd.  
	Zipperer stated that because the request and draft contract
reflecting a Building Inspection Service Fee increase was first
received on August 26, it was only briefly discussed at the September
30th Board meeting and the matter carried over to the October meeting
with the request that a representative from Independent Inspections,
Ltd (IIL) be available to explain the request.  IIL has performed our
building inspection services since 1999.  Brett Guilette, Regional
Coordinator, provided an explanation of the services and various
permits, and the revised fee schedule as outlined in the proposed
contract.  Following discussion, IIL will make the suggested changes
to the contract and the matter will be brought back before the Board
on November 27, 2006, with the intent to become effective December 1,
2006.

Oral Committee Reports:   none.

Committee Minutes:  
The following Committee minutes were accepted and will be placed on
file:
Dam, Park and Rec - minutes of September 14, 2006; and
Comprehensive Plan  - minutes of August 9, 2006.
 
Pending Business:
1) Comprehensive Plan.   Staveness reported that the next "Vision"
meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 8th, beginning at 7:00
p.m. in the multi-purpose room at Sevastopol School, facilitated by
Omnni Associates.  There was discussion on a survey and other methods
available to communicate and "get the word out" for good participation
at this meeting and future gatherings.
2) Town Hall - Building Fund.  After reviewing final costs for road
work, which came in under budget, Woelfel suggested that $55,000 be
designated and placed into the building fund.  The matter will be
brought back at the December 2006 Board meeting for year-end 
consideration.
3) Placement of "Welcome" signs.  Zipperer indicated that the seasonal
employee was not available to assist, but that at least some of the
signs will be installed before the winter snow flies.
4) Interim Control Ordinance (Moratorium).   Zipperer explained that
the request for an "Interim Control Ordinance" was forwarded to Mariah
Goode, Director of the Door County Planning Department, and
Corporation Counsel Grant Thomas' draft copy of such ordinance. 
Mariah indicated that our moratorium request constitutes a petition to
enact a zoning ordinance text amendment, requiring a completed
petition for application, $300 filing fee and a hearing.  However, an
interim control ordinance would have no effect on conditional use
permits, certified survey maps, subdivision plats or site plan
reviews.  Following discussion on the recent reversal of our Krohn
property decision, and the status of our Comprehensive Plan, on motion
for further discussion by Girman and second by Tice, that the matter
be tabled until the December Board meeting.   Motion carried
unanimously.
5) Newsletter - topics for next issue.  Woelfel urged Board members
and others to submit articles as soon as possible.
6) Liquor License Ordinance/Fees.  A draft ordinance for the
regulation of alcohol beverages was submitted for review and there was
discussion on qualifications and standards for license holders and
