The Minutes of the October 16, 2007 regular session meeting were read by the Directors prior to the meeting. Motion was made by Marilyn Meyer to approve the Minutes as written. Second was by Larry Kimmel. On voice vote, the Minutes were approved.

Treasurer’s Report
Marilyn Meyer received an email from the District’s previous attorney that had seen the notice that the District had received a mock check for $2,243,000 from USDA-RD. Marilyn responded to the individual that the District has no money at this time and that the mock check represents a loan to be made to the District sometime in the future.

Old Business
Brunjes Associates compensation 
The letter that will be sent to Att. Norrick that discusses Mr. Brunjes’ compensation was modified somewhat. Mr. Brunjes would be offered compensation for his work on two phases of the sewer project: district formation and for writing the preliminary engineering report. Mr. Brunjes may well have done additional work, but the District Board did not request, nor authorize that work and so the District should not be charged for it.

The “first response” letter to Mr. Brunjes has not yet been written. (Att. Norrick in his Sep 24, 2007 letter to the Board recommended writing Mr. Brunjes a response letter.)

Funding update 
We received from the DNR Water Protection Program a letter telling us that we have been added to the rural sewer grant list. That letter is attached to these minutes.

New Business
April 8 election
The terms of Directors Kimmel and Hirsch are expiring in 2008. Rich Hirsch will look into what the District needs to do to prepare for the April 2008 election.

There was a discussion of who should replace Director Henry Brym. In case the time and day of the monthly meeting needed to be changed, Att. Norrick was contacted by phone. He indicated that there was no weekday afternoon that was better or worse than any other. 

Engineer’s Report
There was no engineer’s report

Attorney’s Report
There was no attorney’s report

Adjournment
There being no other formal business to come before the Board, a motion to adjourn was made by Marilyn Meyer and seconded by Rich Hirsch at 4:28 P.M., with all Directors in approval.

Respectfully Submitted,

Rich Hirsch
Recording Secretary

Approved this 18th day of December, 2007.
