The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by Chairman Daniel Muxfeld. Supervisors Ronald Rupp, Kevin Bartels, and Clerk Robert Pulvermacher were present. After the flag pledge was recited, the minutes of the February 15, 2010 board meeting minutes were approved with an amendment to add the name of Karl Carve as a speaker of a presentation at the Feb 15th meeting.

Citizen Input: Resident Dale Breggeman requested that the board have the town engineer check the current water level along CTH V and Patton Road... because of concerns that the water level in rising again to a near flood level. The board instructed the town clerk to have the town engineer measure the current water levels in those areas as requested.

The board approved, after motions by Chairman Muxfeld and Supervisor Rupp, issuing a fireworks seller permit to Thomas Hein, on the condition that the application is also signed by the property owner from which the items are sold (Rider’s BP-AMOCO), that the required insurance certificates are received, and all local fees have been paid. The board also voted to approve an operator’s license request (alcohol sales) as requested by Mr. James R Harlson.

The board voted at 7:10 PM to adjourn the regular board meeting to convene a Utility District No.1 Commission meeting. The commission then reviewed construction bids for a sewer main extension to serve two new lots along S Windsor Prairie Road. The two property owners requesting sewer service were in attendance at the meeting. The clerk informed that if the low bid were accepted the district cost per lot to provide the sewer main extension would be $ 12,675 per lot (including engineering expenses). The owner of Lot #3, who was planning to build a home in the near future, agree to pay the $ 12,675 amount when the sewer extension construction began if the extension were approved, and the owner of Lot #2, who was attempting to sale the lot at the current time, agreed to sign an assessment waiver form indicating that he would agree to a $ 12,675 dollar assessment to his property to be paid over a 3 yr period- or to pay the full assessment upon sale of the property. After the assessment waiver was signed, and both property owners had agreed to provide reimbursement to the district for the cost of the sewer main extension to serve their properties- the board voted, after motions by Chairman Muxfeld and Supervisor Rupp, to accept and approve the sewer main extension bid from Nelson Excavating. The short term district financing for the cost of the project construction will be reviewed and approved at a future meeting.

Chairman Muxfeld then called a public hearing to order to consider the adoption of Vienna ordinance 3-1-2010 (to create a no parking zone along Hilltop Circle in the Hilltop Subdivision). After discussion for the need to enacting such a no parking zone in that area of the town, a motion to approve Ordinance 3-1-2010 was given by Chairman Muxfeld, seconded by Supervisor Rupp, and then unanimously approved on a 3-0 vote. Hill Crest subdivision Donald Schmidt suggested that the board also consider being uniform and enacting additional non parking zones in all of the town’s other subdivision areas.. After discussion on Mr. Schmidt’s suggestion, the board agreed to consider forming an ad hoc committee to research and consider the need for enacting no parking zones in the town’s other subdivisions in the future. No volunteers to serve on the proposed ad hoc committee stepped forward or volunteered to serve at the meeting.

Chairman Muxfeld provided a short summary of the proposed Dane County Emergency Radio System, and informed that all Dane County Jurisdictions were asked to make a decision to opt into or out of the proposed county wide system by the current meeting date of March 1st. He informed that the town had tabled action of making a decision at the past two meeting while waiting to learn what final condition may be arrived at between Dane County and the participating municipalities. He stated that the exact information the town had hoped to receive was still not forthcoming- but that he did feel the town could wait any longer to make it decision known. A motion to join in the Dane County Emergency Radio system and to share in the maintenance costs as set forward was given by Supervisor Rupp, seconded by Supervisor Bartels, and then unanimously approved on a 3-0 vote of the Vienna Board.

Supervisor Reports: Chairman Muxfeld informed that he had attended meetings of the Waunakee Area Growth Task Force, the DeForest Fire Board, and the Waunakee Fire Board since the previous board meeting. He provided brief reports on each meeting. Supervisor Rupp reported on the Dane Fire Board meeting that he had attended, and Supervisor Bartels indicated that he had not attended any additional meetings since the previous Vienna board meeting. Clerk Pulvermacher informed that he had attend a Dane County Block Grant meeting and that the Dane County Community Development Block Grant committee had voted to approve the provision of county matching funds (...up to 72,000 dollars) for a possible flooded home buy out in Vienna.

The development proposal also suggests the possibility of adding an Interstate Exchange at Cuba Valley & River Roads. After discussion the board approved having the clerk and chairman meet with the town engineer and the highway engineer to consider the traffic and planning impact issues.
