water-quality monitoring was received. The City’s share of 60% for the agreement is
$6,300. One half of that amount ($3,150) was budgeted for in the 2003 Priority Lakes
account. It is anticipated that the Big Muskego Lake/Bass Bay Protection and
Rehabilitation District will pay the other half. This will have to be approved by the
Commissioners at a special meeting to be held later this evening. The Mayor clarified
that while the hydrolab has replaced some USGS testing, this agreement is still
needed. Ald. Salentine moved to approve and to authorize the Mayor to sign the

City receiving copies two years later. The City has an opportunity to obtain air photos
of the complete City by initiating a local orthophotography program. The County has
preliminarily agreed to contribute funding. Landfill funds will also be used, as some of
the air photos will be done for monitoring purposes. The net cost to the City is
anticipated to be $8,675. The current budget includes funds for professional services,
which will be expended with this purchase. If additional money is needed later in the
