Discussion and/or Action re: Presentation on the Town/City Dog Park. Jim White and Craig Hoeppner were present to discuss the issue. We have 80 acres between the two entities. Currently, the Town has a 66 foot easement in order to access our portion of park land. The City would like the Town to consider amending the Easement Agreement giving 30 feet to the City and leaving a 36 foot easement for the Town so the City can extend a fence onto the easement. The City would like to install a small dog park and the extra 30 feet would allow a nicer area for that purpose. Chairman Paul Rice stated he would have a hard time finding fault with this. Supervisor Jim Heipp also had not issues with it. The City will bear any costs of legalities in regards to the easement. Chairman Paul Rice made a motion to go ahead with the legalities in regards to the easement. Supervisor Jeff Geib seconded the motion. All in favor. Motion carried.

Discussion re: American Metal and Paper Recycling. Geoff Radloff from American was here to discuss issues they were seeing with the recycling. Please see attached letter in regards to this issue. American would now like to start charging the Town to collect our glass. They will be charging $500.00 per exchange. Chairman Paul Rice stated that he feels the Town needs to give this issue some more thought. We are kind of being hit with this out of the blue and have had not time to do research on this issue. The Town would like to know how much per ton they are getting for the glass. It is hard to believe that the company is not seeing a profit on the glass. This new charge changes the game for us quite a bit. The Town will have to research all of our options in regards to this issue.

Discussion and/or Action re: New Holland Tractor. Bill Roggenbach stated that the tractor had an oil leak and was running with no brakes. Chairman Paul Rice stated that replacing the brakes was very costly but had to be done for safety issues. The tractor has been sitting at St. Lawrence equipment for at least 5 weeks now. The parts had to be ordered to fix it. This tractor has caused us issues from the beginning. However, we have to keep putting money into the repairs as we cannot afford to purchase a new tractor. We just have to go ahead and fix the tractor now but really need to start putting money aside now for a new tractor. Supervisor Jeff Geib questioned what the replacement cost for a new tractor would be. Bill Roggenbach stated that we are looking at minimum $45,000.00 for a used one and $90,000.00 or more for a new one. The tractor will be fixed however, we will keep our eyes open for a good deal and start setting aside some money for a future purchase.
