Informational update provided by Steve Rostkowski, continuation of discussion related to proposed recreational trail presented on 4/24/2017. No action to be taken. (No materials provided for packet) Mr. Rostkowski addressed the Board regarding the need for a sidewalk to connect downtown to hotel. He stated hotel is a nice gem and it would be beneficial to connect that to the downtown square. There are concerns about individuals crossing the bridge but now that it has been repaired he wondered if it could be utilized to get pedestrians off the bridge. Additionally, it would be needed to put a boardwalk of about 8 feet wide through the wetland area to Mill Pond Park. There were questions about the current condition of the top of the dam. As the Board moves forward with discussions on capital spending these issues should be kept in mind and Mr. Rostkowski was encouraged to attend those meetings. Discussion included the possibility of incorporating this area with the multi-path that had been presented by Joe Klarkowski at the last meeting. The age, future and ownership of the bridge and dam were discussed and that the bridge may be getting close to needing additional work or replacement and if pedestrian walkways may be able to be added. Creating a plan that would include the items that the Village would like at this location and having those possibilities identified would be a benefit whenever it becomes a possibility to consider improvements at this location.  EAST TROY VILLAGE BOARD MINUTES May 1, 2017 Page 3 of 4 3.
