Shelby. The Board must respond promptly and consider investing in a
solution to prevent annexation. Motion by Don Gehrig that the Town
Board goes on record urging the La Crosse School Board to correct
the water situation at State Road School. Motion failed for lack of
a second. Motion by Dave Peschau, seconded by Richard Miletto that
the Town of Shelby help the La Crosse School District to resolve and
correct the water problem at State road School. Town of Shelby will
cooperate and assist as long as there is no annexation to the City
of La Crosse. Motion carried unanimously. Town Attorney Kevin Roop
noted that this motion is appropriate pursuant to Wis. Stats.
60.10(2)(i) and 60.10(3).
- Rose Bantle expressed concern with the changing character of her
neighborhood on Diagonal Road. Small single-family homes are being
purchased and remodeled for rental use as duplexes. She wanted to
know if there was anything the Town could do to regulate this. She
was told it comes under County Zoning and would be difficult to
change. The Administrator will look into it and get back to her.
Motion by Dave Peschau seconded by Sharon Neitzke to adjourn the
2005 Annual Meeting at 8:30 PM. Motion carried unanimously.

Cathy Brott, Clerk/Treasurer
