BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD JULY 14, 1987

Patterson, Penovich and Sanders, City Clerk Stewart and City
Atty. Molter. Commissioners Hilt and Taube were absent. Deputy

Commissioner DeAngelis moved for approval of minutes of meeting
held 5/12/87. Commissioner Sanders seconded, carried.
Mayor reported on the status of landfill legislation and his
pending meeting with the governor.
Chris Gultch, Asst. Naturalist at Waukesha County expressed
concern about wetlands in the area of the landfill. Atty. Molter
will review Atty. Arenz's opinion on wetland/shoreland mapping
and will make a report.
Mayor reviewed the amended sewer service area and noted there is
an Agreement on the Council agenda that will establish the method
for funding the feasibility study for the facilities plan.
The Annual Meeting date was set for Monday, August 31, 1987 at
7:30 P.M.. Commissioner Penovich moved for notification to be
made to all property owners in the District by postcard. Dumke
seconded, carried.
Deputy Commissioner Proeber reported that the Wind Lake District
wants to put up a fence in the channel to keep out carp. He felt
the Wind Lake District should maintain the fence, and discussions
would continue. Drawdown of the lake will also be discussed
further.
Deputy Commissioner Proeber reported that a water quality study
would cost approximately $1300, and that because of poor activity
from Lake Districts in complying with the Clean Water Act, a
water quality study may become mandatory by 1988. It was felt
that a study now would be premature since the sewer treatment
plants had only recently been abandoned. Mr. Chris Gultch felt
that starting a study now would show if the lake is in recovery
and would provide for a base of information for comparision after
the drawdown.
Deputy Commissioner Switala felt that we should have our own
water quality tests and not rely on a study done by Wind Lake,
since we need to establish a base line for our lake and to
determine where our problems are coming from. Mayor felt the
study completed in 1984 showed the problem areas.

Deputy Commissioner Proeber stated he would be in favor of a
study in 1988 or 1989 in order to monitor any changes due to the
landfill sites, and to monitor for disease causing substances.
Commissioner DeAngelis reported on the restoration problems at
the dam site and Mr. Repischak stated he has now been contacted
by the contractor and full restoration will be made. Mr.
Repischak reported that a part was missing from the top of the
flood gate which could cause a problem in the operation of the
dam. Supt. Bertram will be advised.

before the City becomes responsible for the dam.
Deputy Commissioner Proeber presented a check to the Clerk from
the old Operation Comeback organization for deposit in the Big
Lake account.
