County Highway Department.  Zipperer proceeded to open the sealed bids

the estimates from Door County Highway Department.  Motion by
Staveness and seconded by Tice to accept the bids and estimates.

estimates were as follows:

Road Name/Location/Length
Forest Road - 2.07 miles from Mathey to South Brauer

carried, unanimously.

3)  Renewal Applications for Alcohol Beverage License.  A listing of
the beverage license renewal applications is attached, along with
class of alcohol license, seller's permit number and cigarette license
applications.  Following discussion, motion by Staveness and seconded
by Tice to approve the renewal applications, as attached, for the
period July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008, conditioned upon compliance with
Department of Revenue alcohol beverage laws as prescribed in Chapter
125, Wis. Stats., Ordinance 03-2007 TB, and payment of appropriate
license fees.  Motion carried, unanimously.  Renewal license
applications were not received from Duncan's Bay View, Ltd., and
Suzanne Moore  for Class B combination beer/liquor.  Accordingly,
these licenses shall revert back to the Town.

4)  Street light relocation - Old Highway Road/Egg Harbor Road. 
Zipperer stated that the Town had paid for the original installation
of this street light and the City of Sturgeon Bay has paid the monthly
billing.  Business owners in the area have asked for better lighting
at this corner.  Utilizing an existing telephone pole may be the most
economical method of moving the light fixture.  In light of
anticipated work along STH 42-57, no action will be taken at this
time.

5)  Newsletter - next edition topics/articles.  In keeping with our
goal for bi-annual issues, Woelfel would like to get an issue out
early August in hopes of reaching more of our seasonal residents. 
Suggested topics included Clark Lake swim buoys, phosphate awareness,
elections, Sesquicentennial celebration, Comprehensive Plan, Town Hall
progress and room tax.  Anyone interested in submitted an article is
asked to do so by mid-July.
6)  Nuisance law.  The matter will be brought back next month.

[Recess at 7:00 p.m. to attend Special Town meeting of electors.]

7:35 p.m. Special Reports:
Clark Lake Watershed Study.  Paul Schumacher, President of the Clark
Lake Advancement Association (CLAA), provided an updated report on the
basics of Clark Lake and its watershed, which is located in the Towns
of Jacksonport, Egg Harbor and Sevastopol.  Paul included background
information on the design of the study and lake residents' response to
issues as having high, medium or low priority for action.  The study
was contracted with UW-Stevens Point, with assistance from the DNR,
Nature Conservancy and Ridges Sanctuary.  Key findings of the study
included good buffers and practices in the watershed, classification
as an excellent to very good water quality lake, designation as to
sensitive sites, reduced water clarity due to suspended lake sediment
and marl, characterization of good species of aquatic plants and
changes in fish populations over the years.   Paul reviewed future and
present threats to conditions at Clark Lake, such as water quality and
clarity, land and shoreline use and invasive species.  A Planning
Committee has been selected to identify key recommendations and there
is a proposed plan to educate and encourage constituents of the
watershed area to take an active role to protect the lake and
watershed areas.  Paul thanked the Town of Jacksonport and Sevastopol
for their support of this study.

[Brief recess at 8:16 - 8:20 p.m.]

fertilizers and dishwasher detergents containing phosphorus.  Motion
by Woelfel and seconded by Staveness to approve Resolution No. 11-2007
TB.  Motion carried, unanimously.

Resolution No. 12-2007 TB "In support of Schauer Park Project - Town
of Jacksonport."  Zipperer stated that this matter will be brought

 The Town of Sevastopol and its Dam, Park & Rec Board support the
effort for a proposed Schauer Park launch facility and extends an
offer to share with the Town of Jacksonport the costs for a
feasibility study.  Motion by Staveness and seconded by Woelfel to

friends.   In recognition of the Pioneer girls and their success at
State finals, they are thanked for the pride they bought to their
school, family and community and honored for their effort, dedication
and hard work to earn the title of "Division 3 Girls Fast Pitch
Softball State Champions - 2007."  Heather Fellner-Spetz was also
