NEW BUSINESS
Reso. #168-2005 - Final Resolution Authorizing Area Wide Water Capacity Assessment
for Water Services Under Wisconsin Statute 66.0703 and Levying Water Capacity
Special Assessments Against Benefited Property (WCA) (Fifteenth Amended WCA
District). Schroeder moved for adoption. Madden seconded. Borgman asked why
properties other than Lakewood Meadows and Kenwood Estates were included in the
district. Schroeder responded that the district couldn’t be broken up; the area needs to
be continuous. The Public Utilities Committee discussed this at the meeting that was
just held and recommended removal of the Speich property depending on its location. It
was determined that the property could not be removed because of its location, as
removal would create an island within the district. Schroeder noted that being in the
WCA district does not force residents to connect to service. Motion carried 7-0.
