Wright, seconded by Butz, made a motion to approve the final plat for the Ninth Addition to Lake Geneva Estates. Motion carried unanimously.
Oleson reported he had viewed the Norris property and provided photos to the board. It appears there are inoperable vehicles, tires, scrap iron, batteries, appliances, and vehicle parts on the property that are unscreened. The Norris’s were present and requested a list of items that need to be removed. The board listed the items above. Zoning Administrator Oleson will view the site in the future and note the progress made on removal of the items.

OLD BUSINESS: none
NEW BUSINESS: Clerk Raisanen reported that he had received proposals from four companies in response to the Engineering RFP advertising: Hagstrom Engineering, Landteam Incorporated, Design Tree, and Widseth, Smith, Nolting.

Oberg, seconded by Dahlheimer, made a motion to not accept the proposal submitted by Landteam due to it not meeting RFP specifications. Motion carried unanimously.
