TOWN OF SHELBY BOARD MEETING MINUTES DATE: June 1, 2005 LOCATION: Shelby Town Hall TIME: 5:30 PM TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Chairman John Storlie, Supervisor Lynnetta Kopp, Supervisor John Zahn, Admin/Dir Public Works Jeff Brudos, Clerk/Treasurer Cathy Brott, Attorney Kevin Roop and Fire Chief Randy Roeck TOWN OFFICIALS EXCUSED: VISITORS: See attached Call to order at 5:38 PM by Chairman Storlie. Chairman Storlie asked Supervisor Zahn to outline the issues of concern, as this special meeting was called at his request. Zahn stated that he was concerned with the Town’s liability if a Fireman exacerbated a pre-existing condition while responding to a call and possible impairment from the use of prescription drugs. The Town’s Fire Department Standard Operating Guidelines (SOGs) do not define "light duty" or lay out a policy for dealing with temporary injuries. He would like to see this changed as soon as possible. Written copy attached. Chairman Storlie called on Attorney Kevin Roop to advise on the Town’s legal responsibility. Roop responded that the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and the even stronger Wisconsin legislation dealing with disabilities require the Town to make a reasonable accommodation for an employee’s injury. If the Town Board goes too far in restricting job duties, they could open themselves up to a lawsuit. He advised that it is impossible to create guidelines that apply to every occasion. Each incident needs to be looked at on an individual basis. He recommended that the Town require self-reporting of any injury that might impair a Fireman’s ability to perform his job and a doctor’s release before returning to full duty. He said that, in general, the employee’s supervisor sets the parameters of "light duty" based on the injury and job. He advised that a physician’s statement and written documentation be kept in the employee’s file. Discussion, questions and answers followed. Board asked Fire Chief Randy Roeck, his Officers and Firemen to review the SOGs and come back with a report for the June 27th Board Meeting. They recommended that the Fire Department consider amendments that say a Fire Department member has a responsibility to self-report an injury, to require a physician’s statement and documentation of the actions taken by the Town to address placement on "light duty" be placed in employees’ files, and that the policy for handling injuries be flexible enough to look at injuries and "light duty" on a case by case basis. Supervisor Zahn asked Attorney Roop about a policy on discipline. Roop said he was preparing a written statement at the request of Administrator Brudos. It will advise not to implement written guidelines relating to "step discipline". He advised the Board not to lock themselves in. It’s good for the errant employee, but bad for the employer. Motion to adjourn at 6:16 PM. Respectfully submitted, Cathy Brott, Clerk

Call to order at 4:30 PM by Chairman Storlie. David Servais, W5050 Knobloch Road, La Crosse, WI 54601, appeared before the Board with a 2004 Claim of Excessive Property Assessment. The purpose of his appearance was to allow him to supplement his written claim dated January 20, 2005, which is devoid of any supporting facts or documentation to support his claim. Mr. Servais claimed the assessment of productive forest land on the following parcels is excessive:
11-1046-0 8 acres G6 assessed @ $16,000 claim $8,000 11-1047-0 7 acres G6 assessed @ $21,000 claim $7,000 11-1052-0 23.45 acres G6 assessed @ $46,900 claim $23,450 11-1053-0 34.26 acres G6 assessed @ 68,500 claim $34,260 11-1058-0 10.61 acres G6 assessed @ $19,100 claim $10,610 11-1062-0 20 acres G6 assessed @ $40,000 claim $20,000 11-1065-0 15.02 acres G6 assessed @ $37,500 claim $15, 020 11-1066-0 25 acres G6 assessed @ $50,000 claim $25,000 11-1067-0 27.8 acres G6 assessed @ $55,600 claim $27,800 11-1070-0 31 acres G6 assessed @ $62,000 claim $31,000 11-1074-0 10 acres G6 assessed @ $20,000 claim $10,000 In support of his claims, Mr. Servais cited the following: An April 9, 2003 purchase of parcel 11-1046-1 from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation wherein he paid $1955 for 1.15 acres of land he believes is similar and which is assessed at $300. The excessive slope of the land at or near 50% His property is assessed differently than Bluffview Commons Mobile Home Park off of CTH F and it should be treated the same. Assessor Kevin Irwin supported his assessments with a list of sales of larger parcels of similar productive forestland. He explained that he had used the income method to assess the Bluffview Commons property but not with the Servais property because the highest and best use of the Servais property, which has a golf course adjacent to the productive forestland, would be as residential development. Attorney Tom Sleik advised the Board of their responsibility to uphold the assessor’s values unless the property owner has met the legal standard of proof that the assessment is excessive.
