WATERFORD, WI 53185APRIL 12, 2005 ANNUAL MEETING
UNAPPROVED MINUTESTOWN HALL 6:00 PM

Block motioned to approve the annual minutes from April 13, 2004 as written, seconded by Baumgart. Motion carried.
Jim Klamert questioned if the board was ever going to change is zoning on Townline Rd. from A-3 to A-2. Dubis noted that legally the board could not act on this at this meeting. Klamert noted that the next time the board does make changes to the land use plan to change his zoing. Langmesser reported that this would most likely not be until 2007.
Karen Novak, 7842 Lakeview Rd.- She questioned why when a developer needs for example .5 to 1.5 acres (according to the land use plan) why the board seems to always accept the lesser rather than the maximum. Langmesser noted a lot of times it was due to uniformity. A lot of factors are taken into consideration such as surrounding land or subdivisions.
Bob Kacmarcik, 4306 Valley View Ln.- stated he would be very interested in participating in a police commission as he would like to see more public involvement. He would also like to see a more detailed police report and believes that a police commission could help the police dept. in their direction. He also noted that there should also be more accountability from the fire dept.
Supervisor Baumgart congratulated Mary Kacmarcik on her win as Supervisor and welcomed her. He also thanked Barb Krizan, Tichigan Fireworks, for "making our summers a little brighter"; Myron Ciesielski for all his work with the Sanitary District and Duane Luick for all his years of dedication. "He was one of the finest Supervisors I've worked with"
Langmesser also congratulated Mary Kacmarcik on her win and wished Duane Luick all the best. Mary stated she is looking forward to working with the board.
Langmesser noted that a lot of changes have taken place over the last 14 years and will continue to move in that direction and together the board can achieve this goal.
