    Minutes: Motion made by Dohrwardt; seconded by Stumpf to approve minutes from previous meetings of May 22, July 11, and September 3, 2001. Passed unanimously.

    Change Committee Name: referral to Corporation Counsel to determine if the name of the Committee is governed by WI Statutes. The intent would be to consider a different Committee name to more accurately describe the function, eg. Fairgrounds Committee. Consideration could be given at the pending April reorganization of the County Board.

    Request by Leukemia Society: Motion made by Walker; seconded by Cronce, that we indicate that we are unable to accommodate their request for approximately 25 bicyclists to use our Fairgrounds on July 19, failed (2-2). Further discussion ensued, with direction given to the Adm. Coordinator to inquire if other options may be available that will not conflict with the pending 4-H activities on July 20 with a report back to the Committee.

    Horse Food Stand: Dan Ziegler (Environmental Health Specialist from Ozaukee County Public Health) will contact the State Public Health Department to seek written determination of any needed building adjustment or a waiver or variance of the State Health Code. The rule applies for facilities that serve food and prohibits operation within 100 feet of any barns. The Horse food stand is about 80 feet from the horse barn. This is time sensitive since the Horse shows start in April and alternatives must be put in motion.

    Consultant update: Geoff Hurtado gave a presentation re the study that is being done by Ozaukee County in partnership with the Cedarburg Firemen and the City of Cedarburg to assess long-term use of the Grounds and potentially a united management of the facilities.

    Damaged Barns: Consensus was to defer to Corporation Counsel for a recommendation.

    Distributed information: sent by the WI Department of Health that was obtained from the State of Ohio as general voluntary guidelines for animal exhibitions developed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture in conjunction with the Ohio Department of Health.

    Peter Waldkirch raised the issue of broken doors on the NW corner of the Beef Barn, no action taken.

    Motion made by Walker, seconded by Stumpf to support the following Workgroup recommendations:

    Water: support the protocol as recommended by the Environmental Specialist, authorizing an expenditure of $2,000 (annual system shocking and sampling). Asked Dan Ziegler to meet with the user groups to review the additional suggestions made and report back.

    Electrical: support the estimate of Wester Electric of 8/14/01 for $4,460.00 for work associated with the transformer and related electrical problems during the 2001 Fair. Deferred action on the proposal to improve the lighting on the north end of the grounds.

    Drainage: Deferred any action on the options in light of the ongoing study on the long-term future of the Fairgrounds.

    Vote: unanimous vote, 4-0

    Adjournment: Motion made by Dohrwardt, seconded by Stumpf to adjourn. Passed unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 10:40pm.
