Ordinance to Extend Town Officer Terms:

The term of elected town officers (other than elected assessors) have previously begun on the 2nd Tuesday in April; town officers (other than assessors) elected in April 2012 and thereafter will now have their terms of office commence on the 3rd Tuesday in April due to recent state election law changes.

Discussion and Possible Approval or Denial of Wheeler Lake Waterway Markers:
Letter for Wheeler Lake Association with concern of safety in the waters adjacent to and in front of the boat launch.
The Association suggests a solution that waterway markers extend from the town owned property lines on each side of the launch. Such buoy markers would serve two purposes; they would alert swimmers of a no swimming area and also keep waiting watercraft in a designated marina area away from waters directly in front of busy swimming areas. The Town of Lakewood would need to complete the Waterway Marker Application and Permit Form 8700-58 and submit it to our local DNR Conservation Warden for review and approval.
Lee S.., made motion to approve the completing of the permit for the waterway markers. Seconded by Tom H., all ayes motion carried.
Change of Set Time for Board of Review (May 8, 2012) (changed to 10:00 a.m. to 12:00p.m.)
Due to the county printing the notices and sending them out, the time previously set needs to be changed.
