Whereas, the Town of Liberty Grove, Door County, Wisconsin is presently in need of funds in the amount of $530,337.00 for the purpose of purchase of an aerial fire truck, and
Whereas, the Town Board deems it necessary and in the best interests of the Town that, pursuant to the provisions of Section 67.12(12), Wisconsin Statutes, the sum of $530,337.00 be borrowed for such purpose upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth:
Be it hereby resolved, that for the purpose hereinabove set forth the Town, by its Chairperson, and Clerk, pursuant to Section 67.12(12), Wis. Stats. borrow from Baylake Bank (lender), the sum of $530,337.00, and to evidence such indebtedness, said Chairperson and Clerk shall make, execute and deliver to the lender for and on behalf of the Town the promissory note of the Town to be dated February 17, 2010, in said principal with the interest at the rate of 4.00 percent per annum and payable as detailed in the attached amortization schedule.
A copy of the promissory note shall be attached to this resolution.
Lowry moved, Miller second to adopt resolution 4-10. Carried 5-0.
Post office progress. Kalms said we are waiting for a preconstruction meeting before the work on the remodeling of the building can begin. Lowry said we should consider public restrooms and an information center for the northern part of the building. Tidball felt this might not be the right area for this. Kalms presented a proposal from Laaksonen Builders to re-side and replace doors and windows on the rest of the building at a cost of just under $25,000. Board concerns were funding and future use of that part of the building. This could be considered when the project is well along and cost status becomes evident. Miller moved, Forkert second to table the Laaksonen proposal for cosmetic work on the post office building. Carried 5-0.
Declaration of Land Use Restriction for Hidding purchase. Kalms has checked with Coastal Management and LAWCON funding and found that the restrictions to be recorded will not affect what the Town will want to do with the Hidding parcel as long as uses are for nature based recreation. The restriction to be recorded is as follows:
“This property has been acquired with funds from federal financial assistance award number NA09NOS4190107. Title of the property conveyed by this deed shall vest in the Town of Liberty Grove subject to the condition that the property shall be managed for conservation purposes, consistent with the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended, and shall not convert to other uses. In the event that the property is sold, exchanged, or converts to other uses, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or its successor shall consult with the recipient before deciding to exercise any of the rights regarding disposition of the property and reimbursement of the Federal Government”.
Miller moved, Lowry second to approve the declaration of land use restriction for the Hidding property. Carried 5-0. This will be recorded with the County register of deeds.
Miller/Goss approve bills as presented. Carried 5-0.
Lowry moved, Goss second to adjourn to closed session as read from the agenda. Roll call vote: Aye-Lowry, Goss, Tidball, Forkert, Miller. Nay-0. Carried. Miller moved, Forkert second to reconvene in open session. Roll call vote: Aye-Miller, Forkert, Goss, Tidball, Lowry. Nay-0. Carried
No announcement or action took place as a result of the closed session.
