Attest: _________________________________________

Motion (Webb/Meinke) to adopt Ordinance Chapter 19 as presented: Roll call vote was taken: Meinke-yes, McGee-yes, Webb-yes, Porter-yes, Collyard-yes.  Webb asked if there would be a separate Resolution to adopt the Lake Management Plan. It was thought that it was recommended to do that in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Implementation pages. Webb also thought it important to note that the Lake Management Plan is not the Property Owner’s Plan, it is the Town of Barnes Lake Management Plan and it should be changed on the actual Plan. It looks as if the Property Owners were the persons responsible for the Plan.  The Town of Barnes is the responsible party and that should be changed. Call for the question. Motion carried.

 

2)  Brustad said she was in need of immediate help during the tax season for someone who could answer phones, and help out in the office.  Collyard had told her they needed to advertise for the position, but after asking the Clerk network she was told by other clerks that per state statutes she could hire someone herself as long as monies were budgeted.  She asked for Board approval to hire a temporary person now and if they felt the need to advertise for the position, she would do that at a later date. The current Deputy was not always available when she needed her so she wanted a back-up person, at least until the end of January.  Motion (Webb/Porter) to allow the Clerk to find a deputy to assist her when the current deputy is unavailable at a rate of $7.00/hour, Hours to be as needed. Roll call vote taken: Meinke-yes, Webb-yes, Porter-yes, McGee-yes, Collyard-yes.

 

Motion (Porter/Meinke) to adjourn the meeting of December 27, 2006. Motion carried.  The meeting was adjourned at 5:30PM.

 

Respectfully Submitted,
