Consider and Take Action re: 2006 Town Highway Project Bids. On May 8, the Board opened the 2006 Road bids. The bids ranged from $239,505.75 to $248,193.50. The escalating cost of oil was reflected in the bids. The 2006 Budget includes $170,000 for major work as outlined in the 5-year plan. The bid acceptance was scheduled for this meeting in order to allow the individual board members to think about the choices. This also afforded the highway patrolman and clerk to work out financing. The options were described as follows:
Accept low bid and do all seven projects. This would mean using contingency or capital funds to pick up the difference. Long-term consequences of using those funds would have impact on future budgets. Would be on track with 5-year plan if we used this option.
Cut Stark and Betlach, these roads are in close proximity and should be done together. Stark and Betlach could be added to a future years project list. This option would allow the 2006 road reconstruction to stay within budget. This option would affect the 5-year plan.
Cut Parkview Rd. This road is in a different section of the Town, away from the other two work areas. This would require using capital funds or contingency because we would still be over budget. This project would need to add to future years projects and would affect the 5-year plan.
Moved by Doug Yelk, second by Vernon Pogue to accept low bid from Payne and Dolan, Inc. excluding Betlach and Stark Road. The cost of the road bid would then be $167,511.00.

Old Business/New Business.
- The chair moved to this item to allow the Highway Patrolman to speak about the condition of the second plow truck. The paint is peeling, it needs to be sandblasted and repainted. Dennis Farrell has obtained 2 estimates. Peterbuilt $3,000 and Monroe Truck $725. The estimate from Monroe also specified the amount for applying a “rhino” lining to box. Consensus of the Board was to proceed with the painting and liner with Monroe Truck
- Consider Compliance Assurance Plan for Recycling Program The clerk distributed a compliance plan she had developed. She talked with Ken Corbett, Waste Management and he will be giving the Town a compliance draft from their perspective. It should be ready for next meeting. Consensus was to wait for that copy before taking any action.
- Discuss Local Implementation of Livestock Facility Siting Law There was general discussion concerning the requirements and impact of the law. Large facilities can be regulated by ordinance, zoning or permitting system. The Town Board can also choose not to take any role in siting, do nothing. There is not a requirement to become involved. Consensus was to learn more information about the process and enforcement. Comment was made that perhaps Dane County Towns should look at this, it might be best for several towns to join together if those towns would choose to become involved in the permitting. Item will be on next agenda.
Audit and Pay Bills. The clerk presented the list of invoices to be paid. She also reported on a fire unit meeting, held 5/22/06 concerning the 2nd payment for the fire unit pumper truck. The Town of Sun Prairie portion is $23, 865.32. Moved by Vernon Pogue, second by Doug Yelk to pay the bills with the addition of the actual cost of the Town share of the pumper truck as it is finally determined.
