The regular monthly meeting of the Concord Town Board was called to order by the Chairman, Don Groose with Bill Ingersoll, Bob Perkins, Lloyd Zastrow and Jim Zastrow present. Don led the assembly in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Lloyd certified that the meeting had been properly posted; the Board approved a Perkins/Ingersoll motion to accept the agenda as presented.
Lloyd Zastrow, Clerk, read the minutes from the August 14, 2006 board meeting; the Board approved a Perkins/Ingersoll motion to accept the minutes with the correction of Hillside Drive to Hickory Hill Drive.
Richard Reinders, Park & Plan Chairman, stated in his report that Jim Stern did not appear and they tabled the request. Richard was upset that the Board bypassed the Park & Plan and acted on his conditional use permit at the August board meeting; he hopes that the Board will rectify this in the future. They discussed the Impact Fee Legislation as to how the impact fee is collected and how the fees can be used. They also would like some guidelines as to the specific duties of the Committee. The Smart Growth planning procedure was also discussed and the need for more money to replace and repair the town roads. The Board approved a Perkins/Ingersoll motion to accept the report as read.
The Board discussed the Mary Beth Esser conditional use permit; Bob felt that the Esser request did not need to go the Park & Plan but Don, Bill and Richard felt that it needed to go to the Park & Plan before the town board acted on it. The Board approved a Ingersoll/Perkins motion to table it until the October board meeting.
The Board approved a Ingersoll/Perkins motion to approve the driveway request for DuWayne Hunt on Hillside Drive.
The Board approved a Perkins/Ingersoll motion to approve the driveway with no culvert request from Brianna Gehr on Hickory Hill Drive.
Jim Zastrow, Treasurer, stated in his report that there is a balance of $783.20 in the General Fund, $325,636.92 in the Money Market Account and $40,671.42 in the Equipment Fund; the Board approved a Ingersoll/Perkins motion to accept the report as given.
The regular monthly bills were presented for payment; the Board approved a Ingersoll/Perkins motion to pay the bills as presented.
Howard Web, Highway Foreman, stated that they are patching roads, doing roadside trimming on Inyland Drive, putting up road and weight signs and Ken is busy mowing roadsides.
The Methodist Church of Concord gave a donation of $200.00 to the town for the use of the Community Center.
Bob Perkins gave a report on the Johnson Creek Mutual Hose Company situation. The issue of dissolving the Mutual Hose Company doesn’t seem to even come close to resolution as the town boards and Creek can’t seem to reach a consensus as to how the equipment and property will be divided, how the fire contracts with Johnson Creek will work and its costs, the firefighters and EMS feel they are left out in the cold and many other issues. There will be another meeting on September 20, 2006 at the Creek Community Center to continue to discuss the fire departments future.
Don said that he had talked to Mr. Herr as to the seven day a week injecting of human waste and its odor; Mr. Herr said he would talk to his son about the matter.

The Board approved a Ingersoll/Perkins motion to lower the speed limit on Inyland Drive from 55mph to 45mph.
Ken Groblewski said that he felt that the town would save money if he went to an hourly wage instead of the $250.00 monthly fee for maintenance of the Community Center. The Board approved a Ingersoll/Perkins motion to pay Ken an hourly wage for work done at the Community Center.
Bill said that he has about nine names of people who want to serve on the Smart Growth Planning Volunteer Committee. Bill moved to set October 3, 2006 as a meeting date to talk to the volunteers and to discuss how the committee would proceed with the vision meetings and how to continue planning for the final version of Concord’s Smart Growth Plan, seconded by Bob; vote: Bill, yes; Bob, yes; Don, neutral; motion carried.
Richard Reindeers said that he felt the Town Board violated an open meeting law by passing what he called an illegal motion on March 13, 2006. He further noted that the Board should be careful about appointing another committee. Richard quoted State Statues 66-1001 that said only the Park & Plan could do the plan but Lloyd noted that at the end of that statute, it states that the town board has the right to appoint another committee to do the Smart Growth plan. Bill noted that the majority of the survey results stated that the community wanted to remain rural with very limited growth and he felt the P& P Committee was not working towards that result.
The Board will send out cards to all townspeople informing them of the October 3, 2006 meeting plus publishing it in the newspaper and the town website.
The Board approved a Perkins/Ingersoll motion to adopt the new list of conditional use permits for the current Hamlet. The attorney will create a new ordinance using the Park & Plan list of conditional uses.
The Ixonia Fire & EMS 2007 fire contract was discussed. The new contract calls for a fee of $39,000.00; the Board approved a Ingersoll/Perkins motion to table this issue until the October meeting. They also agreed to meet with Ixonia and see what changes they could make to the contact.
The Board approved a Ingersoll/Perkins motion to adopt Resolution No. 1; The Designation of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the basis for a management system in the Town of Concord.
The Board approved a Ingersoll/Perkins motion to adopt the Storm Water Management Practice Maintenance Agreement with Sandy Creek, LLC (Spyderstone Subdivision).
The Board approved a Perkins/Ingersoll motion to accept the final plat of Michael Herro’s Spyderstone Subdivision.
The Board approved a Perkins/Ingersoll motion to donate $100.00 each to the VFW and the American Legion Band for their participation at our annual town picnic.
Bill noted that there were donations of $3,700.00 for the picnic and the expenses were about $3000.00 so we ended up with a profit. Bill also wanted to note the generous donation of Western Culvert.
With no further business, the Board approved a Ingersoll/Perkins motion to adjourn.
