The meeting was called to order by Chairman Norman
Freske.
Minutes of the January 8, 1990, Town Board Meeting were
approved as read.
Wright County Sheriff Don Hozempa appeared before the
Board to say that he just wanted to check with them to see if
they had any problems with the Patrol Service or the
Contract. The Board replied that there haven't been any
problems and they are getting a lot of favorable comments
from Township residents about the Patrol Service. Mr.
Hozempa said they are providing service 7 days a week, 40
hours of Contract Patrol Service and the balance routine
Patrol Service. He said traffic citations increased by 3
times in 1989 over 1988 but traffic accidents decreased.
They now have a full time man working on the drug problem in
the County. Regarding Burning Permit calls, he said he
doesn't feel it is necessary to have the property owners call
the Sheriff's Office to notify them that they are burning as
it overloads his office with calls. The Board said they will
discuss it with the DNR. Mr. Hozempa advised the Board that
if they ever have any problesm with service, they should let
him know right away.
Dave Montebello appeared before the Board in regard to
the Co. 42 construction and the Cost Sharing Agreement
between Wright Co. and the Township for the Co. 42 project.
Bill Radzwill advised that in the CO. 42 Cost Sharing
Agreement, Article 7 should read that Wright County will
submit a final billing to the Township after completion of
the project. He also thought an addition should be made to
the Agreement whereas Otsego is the first Township to be
requested to pay a cost share for a County road. Dave
Montebello said that in the future for any County road that
requires an Urban Design within a Township, the Township will
be required to cost share.
Regarding street lights, the present policy is that the
County does not pay any thing, but Mr. Montebello said the
County Board is considering adopting a cost share policy,
however he doesn't expect any change in the policy until
after February 13. Mr. Montevello said he thought a street
light at the interesection of Co. 42 and CO. 39 would be
beneficial.
Motion by Norman Freske to table action on the Co. 42
"Funding Participation & Construction Agreement" between
Otsego and Wright Co. until the revised agreement is
received. Seconded by Doug Lindenfelser, all Board Members
