FISH HATCHERY FLOOD DAMAGE STATUS:
Disaster Recovery Manager Kistner reported that to date, no progress
has been made in restoration of the State fish hatchery. There
has been an apparent communication breakdown between the Division
of Wildlife, the State, FEMA, and the Town as to the scope of the
work to be done, who will do the work, and the amount of money
needed to restore the fish hatchery property. Manager Kistner has
talked to Len Boulas who indicated that he will give the Town a
list of the restoration activities which need to be done. A lengthy
discussion followed. The Committee recommends that Manager Kistner
write to Len Boulas, the Governor's Authorized Disaster Representative,
and express the Town's concern over the lack of progress to date.
BRIDGE PROJECT REPORTS:
Manager Kistner reported that eight Grant of Easement Agreements
have been signed to replace the private bridges. We have also
received two of the three signed Easements to replace the McIntyre
Bridge, however, Guy and Evan Carter have not returned their Easement.
Manager Kistner sent a letter to the Carters stating that they have
until March 4th to sign the Easement or we would cancel that bridge
from the contract and no further funding would be there for the
bridge. The Committee recommends that if we can't get the Easement
from the Carters to put in a double lane bridge, we could, with
a lesser easement, replace with a single lane bridge.
Manager Kistner stated we have an Easement to build a bridge across
Pine Haven Road but there is a big knob which would have to be
removed and it would require a big change order in our construction
contract to build on this right-of-way. The former bridge was
located on Mr. Pincher's property and he does not want to sign an
easement for Mr. Nichol. The bridge serves Mr. Nichol's summer
residence and the 15 units at Pine Haven. The Committee recommends
that the bridge be replaced at its old location based on the imminent
threat to the 15 units at Pine Haven.
Director Widmer stated that the bridge contract with Ideal Construction
was signed and the Town has issued a Notice to Proceed. The work
should be started on Monday, February 21, 1983. The bridge contract
with Joseph D. Jatcko General Contractor to replace Old Ranger Drive
and Fall River Lane Bridgeshas not been returned yet. The gas lines
across these two bridges have been moved.
CURB, GUTTER, SIDEWALK - 172 W. ELKHORN AVENUE - STATUS REPORT:
Director Widmer reported that he had surveyed the street at the
Chevron Station at 172 W. Elkhorn Avenue and it does have drainage
now, but if the curb, gutter and sidewalk is installed, an inlet
and pipe would have to be installed for drainage. Director Widmer
has so advised Mr. Frandsen. Mr. Frandsen, of Chevron, will attend
the next Public Works Committee meeting on March l7th.

STREET IMPROVEMENT STUDY:
Director Widmer received a $15,000 proposal from Pavement Management
Systems to do the pavement management study for the Town. He stated
that there are some additional costs involved with this study which
would bring the cost of the study up to approximately $17,000.00.
The funds are available in the budget and the Committee recommends
that Director Widmer bring a negotiated agreement to the Board for
approval as long as it is acceptable to the Town Attorney.
MUNICIPAL BUILDING OFFICE MODIFICATION:
Director Widmer stated that we will need office space for the new
planner and he submitted a proposed office modification plan. The
office modifications will cost approximately $6,000 and the furniture
for the office will cost approximately $2,000. The Committee recommends
that Director Widmer negotiate a contract for the office modificiation
and order the furniture for the new office.
PURCHASE AUTHORIZATION - PARKS EQUIPMENT:
The Public Works Department is in need of the riding mower, push
mower, and other small equipment as budgeted for in the 1983 budget.
The Committee recommends that the Public Works Department get bids
for the needed equipment, as budgeted.
REPORTS:
We have a signed contract with EDAW to do the landscaping proposal
for West Riverside Park.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
