Old Business:
Houghton Falls – A booklet showing areas of possible erosion problems was received. The town board needs to sign that they are aware of areas in question. Motion by Bob Bodin seconded by Al House that Don Jenicek should sign form and return to BRC. Motion carried.
Parks Committee was offered to those who had been on Houghton Falls Management Committee first and to the rest of the residents in the newsletter. There were six that would like to remain on the new Bayview Parks Committee but would like 7-9.
Wind generator setbacks were discussed. The Public Service Committee has tabled this issue so the town board now has more time to review. The board will now be following the wind generator issue.
Carol DeMars stated she has a problem with escrow companies. Nothing she received ties the check or checks to parcels of property and tax id numbers. This has become very aggravating as sometimes there is multiple escrow companies paying for multiple properties for one person and no way to tie them to which parcel being paid. This issue would be put on March agenda.
Correspondence-
A notice received from Bayfield County Zoning regarding a public hearing set for March 8th at the court house requesting amendments to Bayfield County Comprehensive Plan was received. It was decided that the Clerk would pick up copies and distribute to board members for review.

Motion to adjourn was made by Al House seconded by Bob Bodin.
