TOWN OF WATERFORD SANITARY DISTRICT NO. 1

OFFICIAL / APPROVED MINUTES

October 10, 2007

Commissioner Pisarski called the meeting to order at 4:35 p.m.

Present: Commissioners Pisarski, Hinz and Ciesielski
Absent: None
Also Present: Bob Kabitzke, Accountant; Mary Carigan; Lynn Tamblyn, WRCSD; and Debbie Crawford, Administrator

Hinz motioned to approve the minutes from the September 12, 2007 meeting as printed, seconded by Pisarski. Two in favor, Ciesielski abstained. Motion carried.

Tamblyn did not have anything to report for WRCSD.

Mary Carigan appeared regarding a leak in the lateral to her home located at 28932 Elm Island Drive. Carigan does not feel this repair should be her responsibility since there was not a frost sleeve placed on the lateral when the sewer was initially installed approximately eighteen (18) years ago and feels the inspector should have noticed it at that time. Pisarski stated that due to the length of time that has lapsed before incurring a problem, he would feel that this repair would remain the responsibility of the homeowner, however he will confer with Erickson when he returns from his conference and send Carigan a written letter with the decision.

Due to a time frame issue Ciesielski motioned to re-issue the letter to the town petitioning for annexation of six (6) parcels into the WSD with a date of November 05, 2007, seconded by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried.

Ciesielski motioned to accept Amendment #2 to Letter of Credit #1437, seconded by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried.

Ciesielski motioned to approve Resolution Number 0706, Resolution as to Sewer Service Charges for Category A Users, and Resolution 0707, Resolution as to Sewer Service Charges for Category B Users, seconded by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried. Resolutions signed by all Commissioners.

Pisarski requested this item to be placed on the agenda after several issues came to his attention regarding the proper use of the facilities and possible safety issues. Pisarski would like a direct and complete policy set up which would be understood, clarified, and documented further requesting Attorney Geary to forward suggested policies being used by other municipalities. Pisarski spoke with Commissioners Hinz and Ciesielski prior to the meeting asking them to look at the suggested policies and come to the meeting with any suggestions they may have so they may put together a draft with any possible changes to be adopted at the November meeting. Pisarski read aloud for the record the first set of Rules of Conduct found on faxed pages 3-6 and stated he felt this policy would be most appropriate for the WSD with any changes the Commissioners would like to make or suggest. Pisarski said that he spoke with Attorney Geary regarding the section on Nepotism and family employees stating that the Accounts Clerk, Kelly Crawford, is the daughter of the Administrator and at the time of her hire these rules were not in place further stating Kelly is a very capable employee doing her job very well, however a decision would have to be made as to when to impose this rule and phase Kelly out of her job and look for a replacement. The Administrator stated her concern that Kelly was hired as a permanent worker and questioned whether Kelly would not be grandfathered until she would terminate her employment and any future employees would be hired with this policy in place. Pisarski stated he would confer with Attorney Geary giving the Administrator permission to do the same. Pisarski again clarified this decision does not have anything to do with Kelly or the Administrator or that Kelly's job has been abused by either.

Erickson was not in attendance for the O&M report.
