Bruce Mommerts gave an explanation about TIF in the town to help assist in sewer and water for the Towns future building projects. The need for water in the Town area should be considered for the area in the Sanitary District Area.

c. Recreation Trail Head Proposal was presented by Robert Spoerri and Ted Bartels. A Drawing of the proposed project for the Trail Head was handed out. This would be an asset to the Town and the change in the Trail has to be done if the extension of Gage Street is to be completed as per WDNR requests. Bob Soletske from the DNR stated that grants were available from various DNR projects and this has a high priority on the list and stands a very good chance of getting funded. This will also be presented to the Town Board at their meeting.
With proposed plan and change in property lines, would the Commission support the changes of various property lines? Everything fits in to the Comprehensive Plan ad there does not seem to be any problems at this time.
There was a motion by Scott VanLaanen and seconded by Ted Schuurmans that we recommend that the Town work with the County and DNR on this Project for the Trail Head with a cost of about $10,000, motion was carried.
