The regular monthly Town Board meeting was called to order by Chairman LeRoy Sandridge at 6:00 pm followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Board supervisors Harvey Olund and Wes Mohns, Treasurer Ruth Ann Dinga, and Clerk Marcia Kampf were present.
MONTHLY BOARD MEETING MINUTES: The Board approved the minutes of the May 12, 2009 meeting as read by the clerk with a motion made by Harvey and seconded by Wes.
FINANCIAL REPORT: The Board approved Ruth Ann’s May, 2009 financial report as presented with a motion made by Wes and seconded by Harvey
L & L CONTRACT: Dave Tomish presented the new contract between the Town of Long Lake and L & L Excavating, Inc. This agreement is in effect from July1, 2009 thru June 30, 2010. The Board signed the contract.
DISCUSS POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING RECONSIDERATION OF JOINING IN APPLICATION OF VACATION OF LAKE STREET/PLAT OF HOLMES: Wes said he has had time to look at this situation. Harvey made a motion to take this issue off the table. Wes seconded it. Motion carried. Wes presented information to the Board and the Public about the Westphal property and location of the buildings. He said that Brett’s house was on the right of way and his brother’s property. In order for Brett to get clear title to his house, the right away would have to be vacated. He presented a map and a proposed change to the original petition. At this time, Brett Westphal expounded for about ten minutes on his desire to go to court and how he felt the Town of Long Lake has intimidated him in his endeavors. LeRoy then talked about two pieces of property that were vacated years ago and the fact that the Town didn’t get involved. Ed Olund wanted to explain that situation, but LeRoy refused to let him speak. LeRoy said he let Brett speak because Brett was involved. Harvey made a motion to reconsider the Town’s decision to join in application of vacation of Lake Street. Wes seconded it. Motion carried. Wes made a motion that the Town rescinds the motion to go to Court that was made on April 14, 2009. Harvey seconded it. Motion carried. Then Wes made a motion that the Town of Long Lake accepts the petition to the court for the vacation of Lake Street, right of way (ROW), if the petition is rewritten to state that:
1. Lake St. is and was dedicated to be a (ROW) to water
2. That said property owner agrees to relocate the dedicated ROW if legally possible.
3. The abandonment and the re-locate take place in conjunction with each other.
4. The re-written application is presented to the board allowing time to review before signing and submitting to court.
LeRoy seconded the motion. After discussion, the motion was amended by Wes to delete points 3 & 4. This was seconded by LeRoy. More discussion followed and Brett Westphal verbally agreed to point 2 in the motion. The amendment to the motion passed with three in favor. Then Marcia read the amended motion which was voted on and passed.

There is a grant available for $11,798 with a completion date of 6/30/2011. He had a contract proposal from Fahrner Asphalt to crack seal Town roads for $10,738. It was agreed to go with this and LeRoy signed the contract.
