Paul Bondar of The Horton Group appeared to present a proposal for municipal insurance. Ciesielski wanted to clarify that he has had a personal friendship with Bondar, his father, and grandfather; however, this does not have anything to do with what will be discussed.
Bondar began his presentation with information about the company he works for which specializes in municipal insurance for towns. Bondar compared his proposal to our present insurance, explaining what coverage the District currently has and what he could do differently. Bondar also wanted to point out coverage that the District currently does not have that he could provide. Discussion ensued.

Hinz motioned to continue with New Business, second by Pisarski. All in favor. Motion carried.
John Helding of Legacy Development appeared per advice of his attorney due to the Developer Agreements for both Rivers Turn and Rivers Turn 1 being on the agenda. Helding stated that Chris Geary, our attorney, drafted the Developer Agreements and that he agreed with everything in both of them. Helding wanted to know if there was anything needed of him. Since this was strictly for the signing of the Agreements, Helding was not needed. Pisarski motioned to sign the Developer Agreements for Rivers Turn and Rivers Turn 1, second by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried.
Lynn Tamblyn had in his possession a letter dated July 27, 2005 from the DNR giving their final approval for Rivers Turn & Rivers Turn 1. Tamblyn brought up the fact that the Town of Waterford Sanitary District No. 1 was not copied on the letter; however the Town of Waterford Town Clerk was copied. He stated that since the Town Clerk did not forward a copy to Crawford there was a significant time loss and therefore this item was not placed on the WRCSD agenda for their meeting tonight and will have to wait another month. Crawford is going to notify the DNR to place the District on the list of recipients to be copied. Pisarski suggested that Ciesielski write a letter to the Town Chairman Langmesser making him aware that there has been a delay in receiving correspondence and requesting cooperation.
Ciesielski discussed the contract in the amount of $1,450 received from Ruekert-Mielke for additional information being placed on the GIS program and training. Pisarski motioned to accept the additions in the amount of $1,450 to Ruekert-Mielke, second by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried.
Duane explained that the information for Golden Meadows No. 3 needs to be added to the GIS program. Scott Daniels of Ruekert-Mielke gave an estimated cost of $300 to $500. Pisarski motioned that the cost of $300 to $500 be authorized to add Golden Meadows No. 3 with the developer being billed, however if the developer does not pay then we will pay it, second by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried.
Ciesielski read a letter of request from the Clerk/Treasurer's office to place a light above the entrance doors. Hinz motioned to approve their request, second by Pisarski. All in favor. Motion carried.
Pisarski explained his request to have commissioner identification placed on the agenda. Pisarski stated that as the Commissioners become more involved in inspecting or looking at certain items that come up on the agenda, residents or police officers may not be familiar with who the Commissioners are and wonder what they are doing. Pisarski suggested a small ID badge that they could take with them. Hinz brought along a catalog of badges for the Commissioners review and felt this was a good idea. Hinz had contact with the representative from the catalog regarding prices and felt that $300-$350 would be sufficient. Tamblyn suggested following the standard practice with a picture ID that could be worn around their neck. Pisarski motioned that three permanent badges be established for a cost not to exceed $350 total that will belong to the District that will be signed for by the Commissioners, be required to be turned back in to the District upon completion of their term as the elected official, or when they resign. It is to be small and inconspicuous and something that can easily be put in a shirt pocket that could be shown, or the visor of their car, second by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried.Pisarski motioned to set the preliminary budget meeting for September 14, 2005 at 4:30 p.m., and the budget hearing for October 12, 2005 at 4:30 p.m., second by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried.
Ciesielski stated that discussion of the Jensen Park Pavilion will be removed from then agenda until next month for lack of information.

Pisarski second the motion. All in favor. Motion carried.
