E. Discussion and possible action on address signs for the Town-Chair Hoenisch explained she had received a call from Marathon County Zoning Department in regards to obtaining address signs for the Town of Maine. It has been a Marathon County Ordinance since 2/24/98. There are three Townships that have not complied with this ordinance in Marathon County. There is no requirement for the setback of the signs, color or style; just that all signs are uniformed. Chair Hoenisch went on the Internet and copied off several styles. Attorney Frokjer stated several signs in other Townships are that they must be uniform, reflective on both sides. The signs can be installed by Town Workers or Fire Department volunteers or both. Chair Hoenisch suggested getting feedback from residents when the newsletter is sent out. The decision of the style and color will be determined in the near future and in the spring they will be installed.
F. Discussion and possible action to have Attorney Frokjer draft letter to Gene Roets regarding his behavior at the September 12, 2006 Election Poll Place- The Supervisors felt it is necessary to have a letter sent so Mr. Roets knows his unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated at the Poll Place. Attorney Frokjer explained the Clerk is responsible for running an Election on that day not to have demands put on her from land owners. In the future 911 will be called. Supervisor Wanke made a motion to have Attorney Frokjer draft a letter to Gene Roets, seconded by Supervisor Zernicke, motion carried.
Supervisor Wanke made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:53 p.m., seconded by Supervisor Zernicke motion carried.
The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be November 13, 2006.
