Board, Clerk, Treasurer, Assessor Comments and Correspondence:
Joanne:
� Commented that she was in contact with Attorney Mark Bartels about the complaints of the trailer on Wurzer property on Brer Rabbit. Concern was with sending the Building Inspector to go look at the building. Mark had commented that the inspector could inspect it from the road using binoculars. That type of inspection may show windows, doors or hinges that are not working properly and would not show the inside and whether or not it is livable property. Believed that inspector would have to get inside the property to do an assessment. Mark inquired if the Town had an ordinance to allow the inspector in the building. Lee S. Inquired if the County may have an ordinance to allow the inspection of the property. Joanne commented that maybe she should contact the County. Mark commented that a letter could possibly be written to the owner and asks for permission to go in the property and if the owner denied access it would have to be subpoena it through a different procedure. What should be the next step to have an inspection done? The board agreed to contact the County first.
� Commented that it would be a good choice to allow DMI to work on the town website.
Lee S.:
� Had a meeting at Mary�s Park with Ken Dolata and Doug Zewarski to go over what has been done and what needed to be done? They were happy with everything at this time. Changes were made. Waubee Lake Association has eight buoys that they used to mark rocks. They could be changed to reflect the swim area and depth markers. Doug is going the check to see if there is a price involved for the buoys and will get back to Lee. Joanne commented that the swim marker has to meet DNR standards.
Tom H.:
� Terry Rank approached him about having a stop sign placed at the Twin Pines Road and Super Valu Parking lot intersection for safety reasons. Super Valu will pay for the sign and installation. The board agreed it would be a good idea.
Virginia:
� Delinquent Personal Property Tax letters have been sent out and have not received any of them back.
Denise:
� Community Ambulance Minutes of Meeting and Reconciliation Details of Accounts.
� E-mail from County Clerk pertaining to the August Clerk meeting has been changes to September 12, 2013 in Town of Mountain.
