The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by Chairman Daniel Muxfeld. Supervisors Shawn Haney, Lonnie Breggeman, Clerk Robert Pulvermacher, Treasurer Linda Smithback, and approximately 12 guests and town residents were present. After the flag pledge was recited, the minutes of the April 21, 2008 board meeting as amended.

Citizen Input: Brad Ziegler appeared before the board to inform of his plan to have the 80 acres of property he represents, along River Road south of South Street, annexed into the Village of DeForest for residential development uses. The board viewed his proposed development plan and then offered no objection to the proposed annexation of the property. Katie Varney, Dane County Breakfast on the Farm Coordinator, and Al Kalscheuer, host farm owner, appeared before the board to announce that the Al & Michelle Kalscheuer farm would be the site of the June 14, 2008 Annual Breakfast on the Farm Event in Dane County. The Vienna Board thanked Mr. Kalscheuer for hosting the event in the Town of Vienna, and pledged to offer as much support as possible to help with necessary parking and road preparations.

The board then opened the discussion, which was continued from the April 21st board meeting, on a request by Paul Munz to allow extended operating hours for his clean fill site located along Norway Grove School Road- with specific board approval, for federally funded highway projects. After the discussion was completed, Chairman Muxfeld made a motion to allow the operation hours of Mr. Munz’s clean fill site to be extended to 12:00 mid-night, with specific town board approval, for federally funded DOT projects- with the board to review and reconsider such extended hours after the completion of the next extended hours project cycle. The motion was approved with a vote of two in favor (Chairman Muxfeld & Supervisor Haney) and one opposed (Supervisor Breggeman). The board then heard a request by Joe McFarland for the town to make a recommendation to the Joint Vienna- DeForest ETZ Committee in support of his request for a conditional use permit to allow the operation of a fire truck equipment business with a multi-use building he owns in the town commercial district along Gene Street. After reviewing the intended use, the board voted 3 - 0 to send a recommendation in support of the CUP request to the Joint ETZ Committee. That committee will hold a formal public hearing on the request on May 12th.

The board then reviewed the current town dog ordinance and a request by several Windsor Prairie property owners, to consider changes or amendments to the current ordinance- including a provision which would prohibit the keeping of more than three dogs at any town residence without the issuance of a special kennel license. After discussion, there appeared to be a general consensus that the current town ordinance could meet the concerns of those requesting that the town consider such a change- with proper and stepped up enforcement of the current ordinance.. The board then agreed to withhold taking further action or of scheduling a public hearing on such suggested changes at the current time.

Committee Reports: Chairman Dan Muxfeld gave a committee report on the planning by the Waunakee Fire District to meet increased space and facility needs. He indicated that if the current remodeling and enlargement plan is approved, that the financial impact to the town appeared to be relatively modest- with the first impact not to make the tax roll until the 2009 or 2010 year. He also informed that the Waunakee Fire District was planning to replace Engine # 3, and primarily with funds already reserved and on hand. He further informed that Engine # 3 was of 1976 vintage and that it had served the district well for many years.

Town Manager’s Report: Clerk Pulvermacher presented a proposal to the board for contracting for “air card” internet service for the town patrolman’s computer- to provide for internet connection service at any location within town buildings and vehicles. The board approved having the clerk arrange for such a contract. The clerk informed that the town assessors had proposed holding the “open book property assessment hearing” on Monday, June 2nd and the “2008 town Board of Review” on Monday, June 9th. The board then approved those two dates for the 2008 open book hearing and the 2008 town board of review hearing. The board then reviewed and approved a sellers permit for Bruce Klein, to allow the temporary sale of fireworks products on the DeForest BP-AMOCO property.

The clerk then provided the board with the research and information he had gathered related to the possible replacement of road shoulders within the Nature Valley Subdivision. After reviewing the information provided by the clerk, the board agreed to add consideration for Nature Valley Subdivision road shoulder improvements to the May 19th town board meeting agenda. The board also requested that the clerk send individual notices to all Nature Valley property owners notifying them that a discussion and possible action on the replacement of Nature Valley Road shoulders would on the town board agenda for the May 19th town board meeting. The clerk then provided copies to the board of town correspondence which had been sent or received since the April 21st meeting. Supervisor Breggeman requested that the clerk seek information on prices for securing a long term diesel fuel contract at this time (the town had previously opted to fore go such a contract and operate on a month to month basis). The clerk agreed to secure current information for such a contract and to report that information back to the board for their review and consideration.

Current town bills and expenses were reviewed and approved for payment

A motion for adjournment of the May 5, 2008 Town of Vienna Board meeting was made and approved. The meeting was adjourned at 9:35 PM
