Don Splinter, seconded by Bob Scallon, made a motion to approve the minutes of July 20, 2010. Motion
carried.
Wyalusing Boat Landing: Ivan Farness received a letter from Todd Johnson stating that there were no
funds written into the grant for the Wyalusing Boat Landing docks to be installed and removed each
season. The Highway Department does not have the equipment to do this job in high water conditions
and Rule Construction, who initially constructed and installed the docks; will not continue to do this for
the Count each year. Don Splinter made a motion, seconded by Vern Lewison to approach Donnie Orr
to see if he would take this seasonal job on for the County, (River Access). Motion carried. The
committee was pleased with Randy Hamann and Richard Wilkinson, River Access employees; for taking
the initiative during the high water to have the docks removed and secured them for winter.
The signs and deposit box for the permit money was discussed. Highway will be looking into that issue
to see if they can help make these for the County.
John Patcle will look into finding a contact person in Cassville, who will notify the County of high water
conditions so the docks can be safely moved out in a timely manner.
Bob Scallon, seconded by Vern Lewison, made a motion to have the Grant County Clerk work with
Grantland Graphics to have the parking permits made so they can be sold by January 1, 2011.
River Access Truck: Don Splinter, seconded by Vern Lewison made a motion to have the committee look
into truck costs, to inquire at the Highway Department to get a copy of the truck specs they have on file.
To have Ivan Farness check with the WI Riverway representative in Muscoda to see if funds would be
available for such a purchase. Motion carried.
Mower: Since there is no money in the budget to purchase a new mower, the Highway Department,
Dave Lambert has agreed to work something out with River Access, that when their mower is in for
repairs, we could possibly use one of the Highway Department spare mowers for a couple days until the
River Access mower is fixed.
