Safety talks with school children and have more programs for Seniors who are being targeted by computer scams.  He said that he would be glad to talk to the Concord Seniors regarding this issue.  The
important thing is to be aware of all things around you and to contact his department with any questions or problems.

The Board extended a thank you to Bev Stendel for the valance in the board room as she donated not only her time to sew them but the fabric as well and to Marian Speerless for the plants and hangers.

Minutes
non-metallic mineral ordinance planning meeting
State of Wisconsin
Town of Concord         ss                                                                 April 27, 2005

The joint meeting of the Concord Town Board and the Park & Plan Committee was called to order at
7:00 p.m. by Chairman, Donald Groose.  The meeting was then turned over to Park & Plan Chairman, Richard Reinders. 

Richard provided a format for the discussion regarding a proposed ordinance for non-metallic mineral extraction regulation and control.  He stated that the Park & Plan and the Town Board discuss the various ordinances from Sullivan, Payne & Dolan and Waukesha and have dialog about present and future mining in Concord.  He said that this ordinance would have to be all inclusive so that it would be approved not only by the Town but the County and the State.  After this discussion, the meeting will be then open to the public for citizen input and concerns.

Bill said that he had talked with Randy Callison about the Sullivan ordinance and asked if that ordinance was fair and represented the views of the residents of his area.  Randy affirmed that statement.

The committee took the Payne & Dolan and Town of Sullivan ordinances section by section and discussed what they wanted and didn’t want in Concord’s ordinance. 

After about two hours, the meeting was opened to the floor.  Randy Callison said that the progress was good but wanted to add the 30 or more family provision stating that no mining operation could be permitted in such an area.  He had concerns about spot zoning and and protection for these areas if there is a change on the board and no such provision in the ordinance.

Mary Ellen stated that maybe a percentage of families would be better than the 30 family number but also feels that such a provision is needed to protect the families that have property in these areas.

Ken Fekete expressed concern over the impact truck traffic might have on Hwy 18 and Inlynd Rd.

Arlen Carpenter also addressed the issue of a provision for a number, be it a percentage or actual number such as 30 families, to protect those families in such areas.  He also stated his concerns for property values if such an operation were to be placed in such a densely populated area.

Bob Perkins noted that there would be much more power in the hands of 30 to 100 family homes than only one family home as far as convincing the current or future boards of not having a pit in there area.

John Gooch thanked the boards for finally working on an ordinance for our town resident’s protection.  He also asked about the sound factor and the constant noise that would come from such an operation.  John would like to know when copies would be available for review.

Richard said they would have copies available for the next Park & Plan meeting.

Bill said that the Board and Park & Plan would meet again on May 24, 2005 at the Park & Plan regular meeting; their meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. and when they are done with their regular business, the two boards will review the mining ordinance with copies available to town residents.

Richard moved to adjourn, seconded by Bill and carried.

Respectfully submitted,
