9. Old Business.

10. New Business.

a) Discussion of property purchase for future expansion of town hall. Beske reported that the Town has an opportunity to

purchase 3 acres of adjoining land from Diane McCallum for future expansion/replacement of the town hall and garage.

This would allow for larger meeting facilities, more storage and better conditions. He further explained that because of levy

limits in place, the town electors must authorize the town to exceed levy limits and to purchase the property. Wollin inquired

about whether this would count as a split against the McCallum property. Beske advised that this purchase will not count as

a split and therefore not exhaust the split that McCallum is eligible for. This information will be documented in the land

contract, deed, and possibly a Notice document.

b) Consideration of adoption of Resolution 2007-04-03 authorizing the Town Board to purchase property and authorizing the

Town Board to borrow the funds necessary to complete the purchase. Stokstad moved, Lunde seconded motion to

approve Resolution 2007-04-03; motion carried unanimously. The resolution and vote is attached below.

11. Announcements: Wangen inquired about what will happen with the gas prices going sky-high. This will definitely affect the

town in how much can be done and still stay within the budget amounts.

12. Sperle moved, Lunde seconded, to adjourn the 2007 Annual Meeting; motion

carried.
