PUBLIC COMMENT – OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS TO PRESENT THEIR VIEWS Chairman Martell declared public comment open at 6:21 p.m. Steven Orth, Town of Centerville, spoke against the County's five-year manure agreement because the State and Federal government already have oversight plans in place for manure management. The County's plan was unnecessary and puts a burden on farmers. Steven Rahmlow, Town of Gibson, informed the board his plans to build a calf barn were approved by the State, but were put on hold by the County because of the manure agreement. He questioned how the County could hold up his plans when the State already approved it. Dan Siemers, Town of Meeme, believed a five-year manure agreement was to long of an agreement to hold over a farm. Manitowoc County farmers are following the required regulations. Dan Meyer, Town of Schleswig, questioned how this agreement even came about because it just showed up one day without notification to farmers. The agreement effects farmers in a negative way by putting more unnecessary regulations. Kim Bremmer, Ag Inspirations, believed Manitowoc County farmers follow the rules and regulations properly. She does not believe the five-year manure agreement was necessary and the County should work with the farmers, not against them. Dean Anhalt, Town of Mishicot, spoke in favor of an agreement. He believed the farmers follow the rules, but would like to see some agreement in place. No one else present wished to speak, subsequently Chairman Martell closed public input at 6:42p.m. CONSENT AGENDA Chairman Martell called the consent agenda and questioned if any supervisor wished to withdraw any items.
