5. PUBLIC INPUT: Sherman Resident Phillip Beuscher asked about the status of the Random Lake Road reconstruction project, and wondered why the plan did not include walking paths on Town Line Road south of Cimmeron Drive. Chairman Goehring explained that even though this is a federally funded program, the costs outweighed the benefits to extend the path further. Reporter Schroeter, also a Sherman resident, noted that he has not had any of the free papers/handbills in his yard in the past month or so. Chairman Goehring was pleased to hear, and reminded those in attendance to contact him or the paper editor directly in the event it should happen.

Miller, seconded by Fahney, all voting in favor to approve Scott Cramer�s request to name his driveway, which serves three homes �Victory Lane�, motion carried 4-0. The property is located near W6236 Creek Road. Clerk/Treasurer Klatt was ordered to send a copy of the motion to the Sheboygan County Planning office to get address numbers.

It was the consensus of the board to forward the email to the school superintendant. No further action taken on this item.
