the subject of the July public hearing.
MOTION: Deetjen moved recommend denial of the amendments as written. Munson
seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
The members noted concerns brought up at the public hearing about the accuracy
of the map. They also discussed changes suggested by Commissioner Remus

County. Hauth noted that a special public hearing would be needed to pursue
these changes and meet the state's mandate of October 1.

13 Town Board meeting to pursue text recommended by Remus Smith and a new
