Commissioner Pisarski called the meeting to order at 4:30 p.m.
Present: Commissioners Pisarski, Hinz and Ciesielski
Absent: None
Also Present: Lynn Tamblyn, WRCSD; Kelly Crawford; Duane Erickson, Operations Superintendent; and Debbie Crawford, AdministratorCiesielski motioned to approve the minutes from the November 08, 2006 meeting as printed, seconded by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried.
Tamblyn reported on where WRCSD was on the boundary discrepancy. Tamblyn explained that research in 1988 reflected that when WSD requested to become part of WRCSD there was a boundary description provided to WRCSD which was subsequently approved at a public hearing, was recorded, and then incorporated into WRCSD. Tamblyn states the problem is that the District's engineer will not acknowledge this legal description as there is not any documentation with signatures of any of the Commissioners to validate it. Therefore, according to Tamblyn, the District's engineer is taking the original WSD lines when it was incorporated but prior to the incorporation into WRCSD, which are different lines; subtracted out the fifty-three properties that detached from the District, and added a piece that was along Raab Drive that had been brought in after the fact. Tamblyn spoke with Attorney Geary and states that Geary firmly believes the legal description that was provided by WSD is where the line should be; however, since they are not there is a difference of opinion. Tamblyn continues that Geary agrees that the problem needs to be fixed, however since only the Town can change the boundary lines, the Town either needs to make the document valid or someone needs to come up with the documentation to convince the District's engineer that the WRCSD boundary line is also the WSD line. That being said, Tamblyn said that Attorney Geary would still request the Town be involved even if the proper paperwork is obtained. Tamblyn states that WRCSD cannot change their boundary lines since they are wider than WSD. Ciesielski questioned whether we presently have homes in the sanitary district that are not in the sanitary district with Tamblyn responding there are at least three that he knows of, possibly more. Crawford explained that in her conversation yesterday with Attorney Geary he expressed that the District's engineer had done a good job with his research and seems to have everything in order. She also expressed that it has been a year since the District began trying to obtain maps from their engineer and suggested that perhaps a written letter from Attorney Geary expressing his recommendation as to how to resolve this boundary dispute would be appropriate. Pisarski asked the Administrator to look through the archives to try to find a signed document and request a letter in writing from Attorney Geary on this issue.
Erickson reported under O&M that the warranty on the sanitary district garage roof will now begin after its one year inspection and not from the date of installation.
