8. NEW BUSINESS:
Greg Schnell, Sheboygan County Highway Commissioner: Mr. Schnell reported to the board that the county highway department had an operational analysis performed in 2008 that showed the department was overstaffed with the ability to downsize. 117 employees were employed in 2006 and 108 are projected for 2010. �While the county highway department appreciates the town�s business, and would like to continue serving the town, we will possibly be closing the Adell shed (located on CTH A) in spring of 2010, and all town jobs will come from the Cascade shed, approximately 5-7 miles further away. Because of the distance change, Sherman will not see a major influx of expenditures from the county.� No further action taken on this item.

Veolia will calculate the number of containers dumped for the month and apply a surcharge percent to the transportation of the refuse and recycling. The rates will be firm for 1 year. Years two and three the rates will increase 3% each year. Mr. Thun will be supplying a new contract to the town clerk for the town file.
