He expressed disappointment in the County Boards decision to remove the Nuisance from the county ordinance. Now there is no regulation on this type of problem. Tania Wadzinski spoke about the meeting held by OMNI at the Town Hall on July 31st. This was regarding the County N road project. She was very dissatisfied with their presentation and lack of professionalism. She felt they did not represent the County’s interest at all, in regards to the project. Asked if the County Highway Superintendent would come visit the residents affected by the project.
Business:
Board of Review took place on August 2nd. Board of Review members present were: Beyer, Bonikowske and J. Beyer. Moede was absent. There was one objectioner, who waived his notice of hearing. The hearing took place, and the value of his property now reflects the fact that his buildings were razed.
Comp Planning: the committee met prior to the Board meeting. The Resolution approved by a vote of 6-1 recommended to the Town Board, approval of a Zoning Map amendment for the Farina parcel. Moved by Beyer/Bonikowske to adopt Resolution 19-CP-8, to amend the Zoning Map was Carried. There will be a Public Hearing on an Ordinance for a Comp Plan Amendment, prior to the Town Board meeting on September 12, 2019 at 6 pm until 7 pm or until all have been heard.
Land Use Permits issued: Waupaca County Highway, for ditching, culverts and riprap on County Rd N. One for a shed- Joel Bonikowske. Two cutting permits issued.
Fire Board meets on Tuesday, August 20, 2019 at 6 pm at the Manawa Municipal Building.
Roads: Beyer reported Swan Road is completed; Butternut Rd ditching is done- no washing after the last heavy rain. Cemetery Rd trees removed after the storm- no chipping needed as the trees were from outside of the right of way, so the County pushed them back from where they came. Spraying for the wild parsnips got put off due to the storm damage and clean up. Beyer will check with an agronomist to see if it pays to do it yet, or if they are past the stage were spray will work, and adjust accordingly.
Since the total bills for the Town did not meet the minimum threshold for the Town, we don’t meet the criteria to apply for disaster aids. Total spent at meeting time is under $1,000.
One Budget Amendment for consideration: # 19-BA-01 for $150.00 moved from General Government to the Landfill Monitor account. Bonikowske/Beyer to approve the amendment. Carried.
Correspondence was reviewed.
Checks numbering 2888-2904 were printed to satisfy the bills. Beyer/Bonikowske to approve payment of bills with checks 2888-2904. Carried.

Rick and Barb Van Handel had concerns as to when Omni would be contacting the residents along County Rd N regarding the reconstruction of the county highway. They also expressed their concerns of loss of acreage and how that would affect the value of their property.
Due to weather Assessor Kathy Bazile phoned into the meeting at 7:30 pm rather then to appear in person and was placed on speaker for all to hear.
