CLERK REPORT: 1) Sent a letter to Matt Weidensee at Land Use and Resource Management Dept. showing Board’s approval of John O’Neill’s Conditional use on family farm. 2) Sent a letter to Matt Weidensee and Land Use and Resource Management Dept showing Board’s approval of Norlan and Anne Rowbotham’s rezone request, lot line adjustment, and Certified Survey Map. 3) Received Liquor license applications and was able to get the liquor licenses finished by midnight on June 30th, 2010. In the future I will be sending each establishment a letter explaining that they need to contact me by May 15th to get appropriate forms for liquor and bartending licenses as this year I had to go to them which put us in a time crunch. Previously I guess we handled it on our own, but I am under the assumption that the ball is in their court to get necessary documents for their businesses. Special meeting was made to approve the 2010 liquor licenses for Bella Grays In, The Barnacle Club, and for Millie’s. 4) Received Bartender applications and processed them. 5) Had a meeting with Ken Hein from the DNR for a recycling audit. We are doing well. All of our numbers are matching. Gave us a few suggestions as far as outreach is concerned. For example talking with Kikkoman to see what their recycling practices are. 6) Met with Michelle Strauss from Horton Insurance Group on Monday July 12, 2010. She indicated that in our contract with Farris, Hansen and Assoc it states that the owner shall purchase and maintain property insurance. Joe is in talks with Warren as he was under the impression that insurance would be handled on their end. 7) Been answering the phones, returning phone calls, and doing normal correspondence throughout the month.
