ROAD REPORT – due to the recent storm culverts failed on Flowage Road in New Post which caused a portion of the road to collapse.  The bridge was also out by Shady Nook Resort.  There was no contamination to the New Post water main that services all the people in that area.  We hired Heather Harrington from the Northern WI Based Engineers to guide us in fixing the wash out.

ZONING – a change in zone district was submitted for Gary & Diane Sisko for the purpose of changing any of their property that is F-1 to RR-1.  Gary Sisko said the reason for the re-zone is for future expansion of the resort, consistency of the properties and several of the properties are in multi zones.  There were 6 opinion letters sent to surrounding property owners and none were returned. Jim Dier made a motion to accept the Sisko re-zone from F-1 to RR-1; 2nd Laura Rusk; motion carried.

DAN YANKOWIAK, CHIPPEWA FLOWAGE PROPERTY MANAGER, was present requesting that one of the Fishing Has No Boundaries buoys be changed to a permanent buoy.  Presently it is a temporary buoy during the FHNB event.  He said that boaters are not seeing the buoys by the Chippewa Campground.  Laura Rusk made a motion with a 2nd by Jim Dier to change Ordinance No. 2011-02 to make 4 east locations by The Landing Resort as permanent buoys; motion carried.

An AGENT CHANGE for Sisko’s Resort to Erin Lillyroot was approved by Laura Rusk; 2nd Kay Ryan; motion carried.

Judy Niccum, secretary of the Sawyer County Snowmobile & ATV Alliance requested an ATV ROUTE be granted for Gardner Road and Sandy Point Road.  Petitions were signed my most of the residence on those roads.  Kay was concerned that all residents have not been contacted.  Jim Dier made a motion to approve an ATV/UTV route for Gardner and Sandy Point Road; 2nd Laura Rusk; motion carried.  This will be revisited after one year to see how it affects everyone.  The Board also ask that an ‘End of Route’ sign be put up at Sandy Point Lane.

BROADBAND EXPANSION GRANT– Jim reported that in mid June Don Selmer indicated that Century Link has two (2) systems to be activated at some point this Spring/Summer, one with phone exchange 462 and the other 634.   Don cautioned that he didn’t think they were planning any further expansion into our area.   Jim called Century Link’s office to talk to someone regarding the broadband expansion, but was unable to find the proper person to discuss Broadband and finally just gave up.  He spoke with Randy Mumnier from Bevcom who said they have increased capacity in the Chief Lake area and have no further plans for our area beyond that.   He also said higher capacity is available in the 945 exchange, but at a higher cost.
