5. PUBLIC INPUT: Sherman Resident Jim Schulz asked if it would help (the budget) if the town were to �cut back� on mowing by the county. Supervisor L. Miller noted, �The town cut back last year already, so we can�t anymore. Some spots were a little worse than others were earlier this year. There are so few areas where we can save money, so we try to be fiscally responsible for the town.�
Sherman resident Phil Beuscher asked that the board please reconsider my request from the last meeting (see minutes from Oct. 6, 2010) and to extend the path to Town Line Road from Cimmeron. Supervisor L. Miller said �That may be something that the town would have to do on its own because the plan is already in place. It may be awhile before that does happen though.�

6. BUILDING INSPECTOR REPORT: Motion by Fahney, seconded by Boehlke, all voting in favor to approve the building inspector�s report as presented, motion carried 5-0.
a. 10-10-01 MJMF Enterprises W6062 CTH W Storage Shed
b. 10-10-02-05 Scott Cramer N257 Victory Lane New Home
c. 10-10-06 MJMF Enterprises W6062 CTH W Electrical
d. 10-10-07 Phil Beuscher N179 Stone Ridge Ct. Shed
e. ZONE2010-03 Kettle Lake Co-Op W5274 CTH W Commercial Bldg

7. CONSTABLE REPORT: Sheboygan County Sheriff�s Deputy Brockway spoke to the board about Russell Reyson�s fence issues on CTH I. �Twenty-four visits have been made to the property since 2003, with six alone in this year. Being a renter, he is still responsible for keeping the fence in good shape. The last time I spoke with him, he was issued a misdemeanor citation. The town could now be held responsible in any accidents resulting in injuries that may occur there because of the fence condition, and that the town has now been made aware. The property is located on a county highway, however the fence �is not on the highway�, so it is not a county issue.� Deputy Brockway presented the fencing state statutes and gave a brief explanation of the assessment of a fence. It was the consensus of the board the Chairman Goehring will contact Attorney Ed Ritger to learn of the proper avenues the board can take.

8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

9. NEW BUSINESS:
a. 2011 Budget, Approval and Adoption: Motion by W. Miller, seconded by L. Miller, all voting in favor to approve and adopt the 2011 Budget as presented, motion carried 5-0. A full copy of the new budget shall follow these minutes in the minute book.

d. Liquor License Applications: No licenses were to be considered this month.

e. Next regular meeting date: December 7, 2010 at 7:00.

10. TOWNCHAIR REPORT: Chairman Goehring commented on the 2.53% county levy tax increase and that the Board of Appeals will be meeting again to discuss the Mudlaff case. He also invited members of the board to a Farmland Preservation & Planning session in Fond du Lac on December 6.

11. REPORTS OF TOWN COMMITTEES:
a. Boehlke & W. Miller, Transfer Station: Supervisor Boehlke noted that a load of gravel was spread on the transfer station site by Howie Mitchell, and that Mitchell had asked if he could take care of snow plowing the site this season. Supervisor L. Miller will contact the county to tell them to discontinue past practice of plowing the site. Attendant Heichler inquired about the possibility of him handing out dump tags at the site rather than the clerk having to mail them. It was the consensus of the board to continue having the clerk mail them out so she is able to verify residency prior to mailing.
b. L. Miller & Fahney, Roads: A few potholes on Bates Road were repaired.
c. Bill Beverly, Plan Commission: In the absence of Plan Commission Chairman Beverly, Clerk-Treasurer Klatt announced that there would be a meeting on Thursday, November 11 at 7:45 p.m.
d. Dennis Hiller, Park Board: Hiller asked where residents are supposed to get rid of brush and yard wastes. Discussion was held on various options, and it was decided that it would become a proper agenda item next month. Hiller was commended on the wonderful job he has done with Hiller Park this year.

12. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS:
