Pisarski revisited Clarification of Personal Use of Facilities to eliminate any ambiguity that could arise by defining who could be in the building, when, and doing what. Discussion ensued. Ciesielski motioned to allow the facility to be available to Erickson and Nelson for personal light use on the first and third Saturday of the month from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with no car being left overnight, seconded by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried.

Pisarski explained that Ms. Carigan had sent a letter asking that the District pay for all necessary repairs to the lateral on her property now and in the future. A legal opinion was rendered by Attorney Geary stating that it is abundantly clear under the District's ordinances that sewer laterals are owned by the owner of the property serviced by the lateral and that the property owner is responsible for maintaining, repairing and when necessary replacing the lateral. Attorney Geary also noted that the District's offer to pay Ms. Carigan $400 toward her repair costs was both unnecessary and generous. A letter along with the legal opinion was sent to Ms. Carigan. Erickson was directed to follow-up with Ms. Carigan on what work will be done with the maximum payable by WSD not to exceed $400.

The Commission discussed reimbursement of the outstanding bills totaling nearly $37,000 for engineering and legal fees on the Foxwater Bay development. Hinz motioned to accept the recommendation of Attorney Geary to wait until the District accepts the sewers and the developer requests a reduction in its letter of credit at which time the Commission would insist on immediate payment of its past due billings, seconded by Ciesielski. All in favor. Motion carried.

Kabitzke explained the 2007 audit and answered questions.

Motion was made by Hinz and seconded by Pisarski that Pisarski be elected President, Ciesielski be appointed Treasurer, and Hinz be appointed Secretary. All in favor. Motion carried.

Erickson reported that all the supplies have been obtained for the downspouts and it is a matter of both the DPW and WSD employees coordinating the time to do the work. A target date of August 15th has been set for the completion of the work. Erickson stated that the town will begin their road work soon and the District employees will be raising manholes. Erickson requested to attend the Collection System Seminar on Thursday, June 5, 2008. Ciesielski motioned to have Erickson attend the seminar, seconded by Hinz. All in favor. Motion carried.
