None

A discussion was held on the WEPCO overhead lines that are to be relocated. The area in question is along Chestnut Street beginning at the Fox River to Dodge Street. The lines on the six utility poles would be moved to existing poles on Milwaukee Avenue. The removal of these lines will give the area a much cleaner, appealing look. This project would be completed by the end of October and WEPCO will be removing the poles. On a motion by Lois and a second by Spiegelhoff the CDA approved the WEPCO overhead lines proposal. On a roll call vote all were in favor and the motion carried.

At 6:36 p.m. Scherrer made a motion to adjourn into executive session that was closed per Wi Stats 19.85(1)(e) deliberating or negotiating the purchase of public properties, the investing of public funds, or conducting other specified public business, whenever competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session. Miller seconded the motion and on a roll call vote the motion carried.

At 6:53 p.m. the CDA reconvened into open session.

On a motion by Lois seconded by Greunke the CDA approved an agreement with WEPCO contingent upon staff researching the easement in question that is noted on paragraph 20 of the agreement. On a roll call vote all were in favor and motion carried.

Scherrer motioned to approve Resolution No. 51 approving the sale and purchase of property located at 132-140 South Calumet Street. Lois seconded the motion and on a roll call vote all were in favor and the motion carried.

The next CDA meeting will be held on October 4, 2001 at 6:30 p.m. Bil Scherrer announced that he would be out of town for that meeting.

Miller made a motion to adjourn, Gruenke seconded and all were in favor and motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m.
