RECREATION COMMITTEE REPORT: Rich Alvin gave the report. He discussed ATV trails and said that brochures have been placed around the township. Complaints have diminished this last year and things seem to be going well.
FIRST RESPONDERS REPORT: Gene Romsos gave the report. There was a Grant from Homeland Security for new radios. They now have 14 new radios that retailed for $2000 a piece and they paid about $300 a piece. Twelve people took the refresher class in January & February. All are recertified.

MORNINGSIDE ROAD PROPERTY: LeRoy reported that he had not received a report from the lawyer and recommended that the Town look for a different lawyer.
UPDATE ON TOWN HALL BOAT LANDING: Wes gave a report. He met with Marty Shutt, the engineer. The proposal is for a double wide ramp system with an aluminum dock between the two. A grant fee of $50 will be sent. Work cannot be started until after the grant money comes which will be July or August. The work will be done after Labor Day and the ramp will be closed until spring. Some blacktop work will need to be done. He explained that this was phase 1. Phase 2 was explained by David Haessig from LLPA. There will be a joint open meeting on May 6 between the LLPA, Town Board, and Planning Commission to discuss phase 2. This will be an improvement to the upper level of the parking area and the road down to the ramp to reduce & slow water run-off. Grants for phase 2 would be 75% of the cost. Grants for phase 1 are 50% of the cost. Wes answered questions on the proposed improvements to the boat landing.
CLEAN-UP DAY: Marcia called the county to inquire about another grant this year for a clean-up day that would include electronics. This hasn’t been determined yet, but the Town will be notified as soon as the county decides and at that point the Town Board will set a date.
OTHER TOWN CONCERNS:
Janet Bergh asked about results of municipal garbage pickup. LeRoy said the Town had looked into this and there was no significant reduction of cost and some residents did not want it so the matter was dropped. Janet said that containers are available for a set price.
Hal Liesenfelt asked about the results of the Lake Street issue that was discussed at the last annual meeting. LeRoy said that the DNR didn’t approve and the Town is now out of this issue.
Ed Olund asked about some birch trees leaning over the road and what the procedure was for cutting them down. A discussion ensued about logging on Town property and LeRoy said the Town would look into this.
Virginia Sandridge talked about the cost of refinishing the wood floor and asked what the people felt about charging everyone who uses the Town Hall. There is a group of women who exercise three times a week for an hour and in the summer months a group that does line dancing once a week and the Sandridges felt that they should be charged. Marcia stated that the Town should be promoting health and wellness in the community and most of the women were town residents. After much discussion, Rich Alvin made a motion that if the Town Hall is used to make a profit, the Town will charge. Wayne seconded it. Motion called and results were13 yes’s and 9 no’s. Motion passed. Virginia also asked if the Town was considering new fire signs.
DATE FOR NEXT ANNUAL TOWN MEETING: A motion was made by Robin Kincaid to have the 2011 Annual meeting on the second Tuesday which is April 12, 2011. David Haessig seconded it. The motion passed with 25 yes votes.
ADJOURNMENT: A motion was made by Rich Alvin and seconded by Mick Givens to adjourn the meeting at 7:25 pm. Motion passed with 25 yes votes. A tape of this meeting will be kept on file at the Town Hall or the Clerks office. These minutes will be approved next year at the annual meeting.

Marcia Kampf, Town Clerk
