OLD BUSINESS: Clerk Raisanen presented two quotes for
salt/sand. Alden Just Road Maintenance
provided a quote for $22.50/yd3 and Douglas County provided a price
of $19.17/yd3. The township

stockpile. Clerk Raisanen reported that

the draft of the joint county-township planning agreement with the board. He indicated that Attorney Kristen Carr and
County Attorney Karpen have been in discussion regarding this agreement. County Attorney Karpen had a few minor

the township complete final plats without county approval. Additional conversations are needed to draft
a final agreement. The final draft of
the agreement will be presented to the Douglas County Commissioners for their
consideration at their December 11, 2006 meeting.
Ben Oleson reported that the
planning commission at their last meeting recommended that the town board pass
an ordinance requiring that adult use businesses be located in industrial zoned

with attorney Michelle Clark.
