   August 12, 2010

A duly-convened meeting of the Village Board of the Village of Reeseville, Dodge County, Wisconsin, was held in open session on August 12, 2010, and called to order by President, Kenneth Schimmel, at 7:15 p.m.  The following Trustees were present: Janice Boettcher, Lee Brasch, Michael Couperus, Kenneth Leistico, Brian Miller, and David Snow.  The following Trustee’s were absent: None. 

 

Notice of this meeting was given to the public at least 24 hours prior to the meeting by forwarding the complete agenda to the official Village newspaper, The Watertown Daily Times, and to all news media that have requested the same as well as posting.  Copies of the complete agenda were available for inspection at the Village Clerk’s Office.
Motion by Kenneth Leistico and seconded by Lee Brasch to approve the agenda.  Motion carried.

 

Minutes of the previous regular meeting were previously sent to all Board members and posted.    Motion by Kenneth Leistico and seconded by Janice Boettcher that the minutes of the previous regular meeting be approved.  Motion carried.

 

Treasurer reports of the General Treasury, the Treasury of the Sewer and Water Utilities were reviewed by the Board.  Motion by Janice Boettcher and seconded by Brian Miller that the Treasurer reports of all the accounts be approved.  Motion carried.

 

Daniel Huebner from General Engineering Company, Building Inspector for the Village of Reeseville reported on two properties in the Village of Reeseville.  He stated that progress was being made on the property at 224 South Main Street.  The owner of the property at 104 Jackson Street requested one year to take care of the Property Maintenance issues with his property.  The Board discussed the issue and pointed out that he had been previously notified of the Property Maintenance issue in prior years and had not taken any action.  The Board felt that due to prior notifications, one year was too long to correct the issues.  Motion by Kenneth Leistico and seconded by Brian Miller that Mr. Huebner inform the property owner that he has ninety days to correct the Property Maintenance issues.  Motion carried.  (No-nays)

 

Police Chief, Scott Bahr, gave the police report for the past month.  He informed the Board that the department would have to install a computer in the squad so that citations could be issued through the TRACS system.  He stated that most of the departments in the County had switched to the computer system, and Reeseville was one of four that was still issuing handwritten tickets.  Scott would do further checking on the costs to switch over.

 

Dean Ziegel reported that the power outages were causing a number of problems with the sewer pumps and controls.  The Board discussed the number of outages that seem to be increasing over the years.  The Board informed Dean to set up a meeting with WE-Energies to discuss the problems with the power supply.

 

The Board reviewed a picnic license application for the Reeseville Fire Department for August 14th for the annual corn roast picnic.  Motion by Michael Couperus and seconded by Kenneth Leistico is issue a Picnic License to the Reeseville Fire Department.  Motion carried.

 

Operator’s License applications were reviewed for Samantha Braun 103 Hillside Dr., Marshall, WI, and Mickayla Sell, 420 Rosendale Street, Beaver Dam, WI.  Motion by Kenneth Leistico and seconded by Lee Brasch to issue operator’s license to Samantha Braun and Mickayla Sell.  Motion carried (Michael Couperus – abstained)

 

The Board discussed Cemetery fees and had a comparison sheet listing other cemeteries.  A question concerning perpetual care and the amount that was deposited in it by other cemeteries and the amount by the Village was discussed.  After discussion the Board instructed the Clerk to further check on perpetual care and put the Cemetery Fees on next month’s agenda.

 

Kenneth Leistico handed out a Community Center report and reported on the upcoming Fish Fry on August 20th and the Tony Rocker (Elvis) show September 18th at the Community Center.  He also reported on the estimated costs for kitchen equipment.  He stated that the Community Center had money on hand that should cover the costs.  He stated that most of the money which was donated was designated for kitchen improvements.  He pointed out that when the Community Center was built the kitchen equipment
was cut out to save on costs.    There was some concern about extra costs to the Village for running the equipment as the Village was presently paying the heat and electric bills.  There was also some concern about grease smell in the building when the fryers were being used, however the proposed exhaust fan and air make up unit should take care of that.  Motion by Kenneth Schimmel and seconded by Dave Snow to have the Community Center Board continue to move forward with the kitchen improvements and get State plan approval for the improvements.  Motion carried.

 

It was reported that two commercial dehumidifiers were purchased for the Fire Station to remove moisture as mold was forming on some of the equipment because of high humidity.

 

It was also reported that new locks were installed in the Library as a key was broken off in one of the locks when someone apparently tried to break in the Library.

 

Motion by Brian Miller and seconded by Lee Brasch that the bills be approved as read and the Clerk and Utility Treasurer be instructed to draw orders for same.  Motion carried.
