Reports:

Clerk’s Report: The Dept of Commerce issued a permit to Crockett’s Resort to replace main drains in outdoor pools.  Forest Tax Law Master Files are available for board member review.

 Supervisors' Reports:

Dave Singer: Reported that he is still investigating costs associated with replacement of ATV signs on town roads. He attended the regional WTA meeting 10/27/09; topics discussed were the Fort McCoy expansion, early voting, and new requirements for town street signs.  He also attended the WTA seminar on Farmland Preservation; providing copies of the materials to other board members.  He will create a short summary of points of interest to Kildare property owners to be included in the annual newsletter.
Dennis Franek: Attended the annual TRIP meeting.  The TRIP budget is $141,000 for this cycle and 14 applications for projects were submitted.  Since we received funding in the last cycle, it seems unlikely that we will receive any this time.  A different tactic will need to be employed to accomplish needed repairs to McMahon Rd.

 Business:

B)      Motion by Franek to adopt the proposed 2010 Town Budget; second by Singer; carried by a voice vote of 3 ayes

There were no permit applications.  Supervisor Singer expressed concern that a garage recently built by Eric Lewandowski  at W2034 Cty Rd N is being used as a residence.  Building Inspector Wally Hoehn and Chairman Franek have both observed the site and see no evidence of habitation but will keep an eye on it.
