May 20, 2010
1. Floating Dock. I talked to DNR more than a year ago, and they mailed a document that
allows pouring concrete around the poles. I gave them to Paul Thares, and he told me that
is taken care of, but he wants to do the Wyalusing Boat Ramp first. I haven’t seen
anything from Paul, pertaining to the O’Leary’s floating dock.
2. Dumpsters at Grant County Park @ O’Leary’s. We always had one dumpster at O’Leary’s
for seven months each year. Jamestown always paid the bill first during the summer, and
then billed 50% to Grant County, and the other 50% billed to the Barge owner. We always
got reimbursed from the County and the Barge owner.
Last year Attorney Dave Leifker, representing Dubuque Conservation Society, requested a 2nd
dumpster over by the Dam. He said he would pay for the 2nd Dumpster, but he only paid for 2 months.
Jamestown paid the balance.
Where do we go from here? Should we bill Grant County? Should we remove the 2nd dumpster?
Please respond in writing.
Sincerely
Alan A. Jansen, Jamestown Town Clerk
Adjournment: Bob Scallon, seconded by Vern Lewison, made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Motion
