Trustee Thomas moved to approve the termination agreement with Bill and Sharon Kamm dated June 18, 2009, seconded by Trustee Truax. Motion carried 4 – 0.

Item 5 –Fence ordinance variance request. The Board received a letter of request for a variance of the fence ordinance from David Richardson of 5 Birch Avenue. The Richardson’s would like to place a three foot high vinyl or wood fence on the sidewalk edge without the three foot variance to help keep their children from running into heavy traffic in the street. Gary stated that the property lines in most of the older part of town are about three feet in from the sidewalks, which would mean if the variance was allowed it would not be on the property owner’s property, which is one of the reasons why the ordinance was created in 1995. Concluding questions and discussion the Board denied the request for the variance.

Item 6–Liquor License Renewals: Dragon Inn (Restaurant Liquor License); U-Fill-It (3.2 Beer License). TheBoardreceived an additional request from Steven’s Grill (Tavern License)after the agenda had been completed. The paper work has been reviewed and all appear to be in order. Chief Jacobson has no objection or complaints regarding the three applicants for renewals. Trustee Moos moved to grant the three requests for renewals, seconded by Trustee Gustafson. Motion carried 4 - 0.

Item 7 –Citizen Comments/Questions. None.

Item 8– Reports. Gary reported the auditorium had been painted two weeks ago and the landscaping project around town hall has been started. Gary reminded the Board that the CML Conference is coming up and we need to make reservations. Trustee Truax would like to start the process for safe passage, such as trails connecting the Hawkstone and Eaton Commons Subdivisions to each other and the main part of town, using the money that was originally allocated for the Great Western Trail Authority. Gary stated it would take Board approval to start that process, so he will make copies of past plans for the Board to review at the next meeting.
