Pisarski reported on his appearance at the March 10, 2008 Town Board Meeting asking the town to contribute towards the repair/replacement/labor of the downspouts and sidewalks. Pisarski stated he presented the cost breakdown in the amount of $4,411 for material and labor for the asphalt repair and $74.95 for the sealant and coating on the sidewalks and also presented a plan prepared by Erickson. Pisarski asked that any available equipment owned by the town be used and the labor be done by both the town DPW workers and WSD workers which would save $1,000 off the above cost bringing the total to $3,411 plus the $74.95 for the sealant. This would lower the shared cost to approximately $1,800 each. The Town Board voted in favor of sharing half the cost with the WSD. Erickson presented a proposal submitted by Configurations In Concrete in the amount of $3,913 for the removal/replacement of the sidewalk which had been discussed at a previous meeting. In the interest of cost savings, the abrasive sealant will be used first and if unsuccessful this option will be re-visited. Ciesielski stated that based on the prices presented just being estimates, and accepting the town's agreement to share fifty percent, having the material and labor to be coordinated and since it is the WSD's building Erickson will manage the project working closely with Hinz he will motion to approve the project as presented, seconded by Pisarski. Hinz recused himself due to conflict of interest. Two in favor, one recused. Motion carried. A letter will be sent to Chairman Langmesser explaining the WSD's motion.

Pisarski stated he had Administrator Crawford contact Attorney Geary asking for his legal opinion on what the WSD's position should be on donating towards the police department's proposed sally port. Pisarski referred to parts of Geary's letter pointing out that initially the lease agreement stated that improvements and repairs of the building would be split on a 50/50 basis, however the 1998 agreement states that "repairs or maintenance to the building which includes both the Town's and the District's facilities shall be shared in proportion to the benefit derived by each party". Pisarski pointed out that the sally port, remodeling of the inside of the police department, storage room, Judge's new room, and the rest of the items being proposed for cost sharing are entirely to the town's benefit and again referring to Geary's letter that the WSD has no obligation and could refuse on that basis. Ciesielski added that the residents in the sanitary district are also town taxpayers therefore these residents are paying twice for remodeling the building. Pisarski felt that in the interest of being good neighbor's sharing the facility with some possible residual benefit in the future the WSD could certainly contribute $5,000 out of the District's funds towards the sally port. Ciesielski motioned to contribute $5,000 towards the sally port upon completion, seconded by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried. A letter will be written to Chairman Langmesser explaining the WSD's motion.

Ciesielski motioned the accept Resolution 08-01 - An Ordinance to Amend Title 3 and Title 8 of the Code of Ordinances for Town of Waterford Sanitary District No. 1, seconded by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried.

Erickson reported under O&M that he has been working on Material Safety Data Sheets for an audit to be conducted next week. Pisarski asked if Erickson had everything in order with Erickson responding that most things have been taken care of.
