MINUTES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING OF JULY 9, 2003

 

 

Present: Don Zigman, Marcia Wellnitz, Dave Pease, Dave Scharlau, Duke Martin, Leslie Hall, Dixie Chermack and Tim Kane-UW Extension Office Agent.

Absent: Marie Hughes, Ron Pearson, Lee Wiesner

 

Chairman Dave Pease called the meeting to order.

The motion was made by Marcia Wellnitz, seconded by Dave Scharlau to approve the June 18, 2003 minutes. Motion passed.

 

The third and latest revised contract from MSA was reviewed and compared with our list of change requests. MSA’s new contract reflected many of our requests, denied our request to pay for all of the survey and made some changes in the deliverables we didn’t ask for and didn’t like. After much discussion, a motion was made by Dave Scharlau, seconded by Marcia Wellnitz, to deny entering into a contract with MSA Professional Services to facilitate a Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the Town of Barnes. The motion passed. The secretary was directed to inform MSA of this decision by letter.

 

The next order of business was to decide which consulting firm the committee wanted to interview.

 

Based on the April 9, 2003 voting of most desirable consulting firms, the committee decided to invite Cedar Corporation of Menomonie and Stable Solutions of Ashland to a meeting on July 21, 2003 for interviews. The secretary was directed to make these arrangements.

 

The motion was made by Dave Scharlau, seconded by Duke Martin to adjourn at 8:35PM. Motion passed.

 

Dixie Lea Chermack, Secretary
