Treasurer’s Report: ”We received a payment of $156.27 from Door County Tourism Zone Commission for April collections. From the State we have received $477.66 for payment on lands under managed forest law, and a check from the County for 2010 recycling rebate in the amount of $1,125.05.I have only received money from one of the three overdue personal property tax bills. D.C. Drilling & Blasting did forward a check in the amount of $500.00, but at this rate it would take them 10 month to pay the full amount owed to the town. I have placed phone calls to the remaining two. They promised to put checks in the mail.”

Public Comment: Rob Hultz is in the process of opening a bird sanctuary in Jacksonport and wished to introduce himself to the community. Dave Swanson of Clark Lake Ct. requested of the Board that a “No Parking” sign be installed at the boat launch to reduce congestion. Little Bit LeClair asked as to the status of the buoy order to mark the pilings. The buoys will be shipped 7/1. Sue Jarosh commented on the success of the Tuesday Farmer’s Market in Jacksonport. And Jeanne Majeski, prior town chairperson, provided very positive input of her own and from various townspeople, on Peil’s performance as our contracted Snow and Ice control for the 2010-11 season. She asked that the board consider strongly allowing Peil to re-bid the contract for this next year.

Motion(Randy/Tom/Passed) to renew snow and ice control with Peil for the 2011-12 season.

Town Insurance – Tom Wilson set a date of July 15th, 2011 to review the current policy and possible alternatives.

Road status – A letter was received from Northeast Asphalt relieving the Town of it’s contract obligations on the Jorn’s Road repair.

The bid package for Hillside Road and other minor repairs is ready to go with a Class II notice to be published the first and second weeks in July and bids to be due by the next board meeting.
