President's Report by Teresa Dunlap.

Unfinished Business -

a) Refuse sticker revenue -sales vs utility billing: Teasdale read a statement regarding his take on the removal of the stickers/bag to flat rate. Brief take on the statement -is

against the change, noted will increase tonnage of refuse which will increase costs to the village. Has been successful for the past 39 years the way it has been done, how did it get to the board for consideration and feels it will be a financial disaster and is a 'ludicrous idea'.

Miller explained the reasoning for the topic to come to the board.

Fuhr noted it appears to be a sticker accessibility issue and was wondering if Casey's or Gempeler' s would be willing to sell the stickers. Business could charge more for the customer convenience. Also suggested a pay online and print a sticker idea.

Dunlap indicated she has had some requests for recycling curb side pick-up. Presented a spreadsheet of current refuse and recycling budget revenue and expenses for 2017 /2018. Currently showing a revenue in refuse with a loss in recycling. Provided a sample budget for refuse 3 pick-ups/mo. and recycling 1 pick-up/month. Was trying to see if could offset the losses in recycling with doing own pick-up. Aware would need to clean out the truck, would require extra labor, gas and trip(s) to transfer station. Would keep the refuse charge per month on the utility bill at $4.50 and charge $4.25/month for recycling (replacement of stickers). Took out state aid in the event do not meet or is cut from state budget. Numbers still need to be looked at more closely, provided estimated numbers but feels it is a viable option and should be looked at more closely.

Provided handout of what the Green County Transfer station takes in for recycling. Issue is important due to the illegal burning in the village - aware should turn them in but it causes neighbor tension. Provided a handout from DNR of a listing of items that became banned from landfills in 1995.

Feels curb side would help eliminate refuse in recycling. Out of town refuse set at curb side could be eliminated by placing refuse in a container. The number of bags to be picked up can be changed to one or two. Would help eliminate dumping ofrefuse in village garbage cans on Main St. and in the park. Long term goal is to offer extra service and save money.

Miller questioned if the recycling center would be closed. Dunlap noted it would be kept for garden debris, brush, oil and metal drop off. Questioned why businesses were unable to use the recycling center. Can only receive the grant for residential users, not businesses. Why are businesses not allowed to purchase refuse stickers? There are several businesses that purchase stickers when a dumpster is not a viable option.

Marty-Watson asked ifresidential customers can have a dumpster. The answer is no unless they are doing construction/remodeling work.

Discussed transfer station and had questions on how they would accept the recyclables (cardboard, compacted recyclables, bags, Advance currently take the recycling there). To get further information.

Motion made by Fuhr to postpone the issue for further fact and information gathering until September 19th board meeting. Seconded by Miller. Motion carried.

b) Motion made by Teasdale to approve Resolution 2018-0815 for Binding Fall Levy Limit Referendum. Seconded by Pederson. Roll call vote: Teasdale -I; Miller -I; Fuhr - I; Marty-Watson -I; Pederson -I; Nicholson -I; Dunlap- I. Motion carried 7-0.

New Business -

a) Motion made by Miller to pay claim from Clover Corp. for reimbursement of Aeberhard Drive survey for $580. Seconded by Nicholson. Motion made by Fuhr to amend the motion to add to ask Delta 3 (previous surveyor) to reimburse for the error. Seconded by Pederson. Motion carried. First motion carried. Hasse noted there was extra time spent researching the south line of the survey (off by ten feet), that was established by surveyor Dennis Truttman in error years ago and continued with Delta 3 Engineer.

b) Motion made by Nicholson to go into Closed Session per WI State Stat. Sec. 19.85(l)(c) Considering employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation data of any public employee over which the governmental body has jurisdiction or exercises responsibility, Clerk/Treasurer evaluation. Seconded by Teasdale. Roll call vote: Pederson - I; Marty-Watson-I; Fuhr -I; Miller- I; Teasdale -I; Nicholson -I; Dtmlap -I. Motion carried 7-0 at 8:46 p.m.

c) Motion made by Fuhr to return to open session. Seconded by Marty-Watson at 9:22 p.m. Roll call vote: Pederson - I; Marty-Watson - I; Fuhr -I; Miller- I; Teasdale -I; Nicholson -I; Dunlap -I. Motion carried.

Hearings, public appearance & citizen comments:

1. Layla Packham -winter parking. Would like to state concerns with Ordinance 10-727(B) Winter parking. Lives at 339 S Main Street for the past six years. Has no driveway or alley to park in. Has five children of which two have vehicles and she has one. Must walk to the municipal parking lot in the early morning with a 4 & 5-year-old with sidewalks that are slippery, below wind chills, snowing and tired kids that want to be carried. Takes approximately 15 minutes with the kids to get to the parking lot. Presented pictures of frost bite and feels it's a safety concern for the kids. Not financially feasible to pay for parking tickets. Recommend alternate side parking like New Glarus, Belleville and Monroe has. Teasdale explained that alternate side parking increases costs for the Public Works given a 4-5-hour process would take two-days with return trips. Teasdale recommend asking for permission to park in a neighbor's driveway. It was decided to refer back to the Public Works committee for further discussion and review.

2. Cara Carper -GCDC Quarterly update. Postponed.

It was a consensus to conduct interviews with MurphyDesmond Lawyers & Axley Attorneys at the beginning and different board meetings - Clerk to arrange.

Motion made by Miller, seconded by Schneider and carried by voice vote to approve the minutes of the Febrnary_6, 2019 regular board meeting.

Hearings, public appearance & citizen comments:

1. Interview Attorney Bill Morgan from Murphy Desmond S.C. Provided infonnation about himself Went to law school in Madison, then to Rice Lake in private practice. Then went to Barron County counsel's office and went onto Green County in Monroe and was there for ten years. This was the beginoing of his career in municipal law. Has been with Murphy Desmond since 2009. Has emphasis on human resources (discrimination, FMLA, ADA) in municipal and private businesses. Does council work for New Glarns, Edgerton, and Sun Prairie. Background on the firm - cover almost all aspects oflaw which gives him the ability to reach out to partners for their expertise/resources.

Question -Legal advice is an important aspect of good village attorney services. Specifically, the availability to communicate and respond to issues via phone, email, and occasionally in person will be expected in a timely manoer. Tell us how you plan on being responsive and thorough in meeting the legal needs of our community? Usually communicates via email or phone. Indicated turnaround time is same day or next day due to hearings or meetings. Available via cell phone as well. If Bill is unavailable, back up attorney Matt Fleming will fill in.

Question -Municipal clients, can you give me three most common areas/issues that you get involved with? Edgerton -on staff 2x/month for meetings. Development projectsagreements, draft ordinances as needed, answer parliamentary questions during the meetings, closed session agendas. Middleton - human resources, suspensions, and grievances.

Question -Have you had an incident where a Municipality has been sued? Yes, mostly in terms of agreements pursuant to arbitration. Misdeeds or misacts represented up to the Supreme Court.

Question -Would your firm consider a flat rate fee to attend Village meetings? Yes, would consider it. Longer answer would require experience with each other to know what is expected and what the needs are. Currently have Middleton on a set three-year contract/retainer but is done out of years of experience (20 yrs.) so that we are not over pricing. Believe on the onset you are better served by an hourly rate.

Question -So you would be charging an hourly rate from leaving your office, attending

the meeting and returning plus mileage? Do charge hourly but not always mileage.

Question - How do you keep your clients updated on changes of the law, keep ordinances and polices up to date? If they see an alert, they send out emails to the Clerk's to make them aware of the issue and suggestions for changes.

Question - What about updating personnel policies? Every once in awhile they should be updated. Routine job duty for private employers.

Question - Have you had any problems with clients taking your advice? Yes, of course. Happens less often in public vs private sector. Will give his opinion whether you want to hear or not so that you can make an informed decision. World view - the client is actually the village, you are the current representatives of the village, you are not the client. Everyone who lives here is the client.

Question - Any questions for us? Do you have a start date? Interviewing another firm on March 6t11,decision to be made next meeting. Current attorney contract ends F ebrnary 28th.

Miller - provided information on references.

Town of Brigham -

Can you verify that they work for your municipality? - yes. What makes them a good fit for this job? - extremely knowledgeable on municipal law and government. They use Larry and he helped write some of the road statutes. If you have the opportunity to rehire them, would you and why? - absolutely, we always feel there billing is fair and we get above and beyond what we ask for. Very easy to understand and get quick responses.

What are there biggest strengths and weaknesses? Strength- they are familiar with municipal law, big enough firm that if one lawyer doesn't know the answer, they can ask someone else and get back to you. No weaknesses.

Town ofDUllll-

Work with them for court only about once a month. Very happy with them. Work with Attorney Matt, he was out of town once so worked with his colleague and it was an excellent experience. Got back to her in a timely manner. No weaknesses.

Public Works Report - Don Schneider

a) Street work quotes: Streets include Washington, Greenview, North Pratt, Post Office alley and S. Madison. Received four quotes:

Bartelt Enterprises $223,063.47

Frank Bros. Inc. $265,993.00

Payne & Dolan

Green County

$179,965.60

$123,927.00

The Village of construction standards of 4 inches of asphalt for its streets. First three quotes listed above met the village's construction standard by pulverizing, fine grading and replacing 4 inches of new asphalt as requested. Quote from Green County did not meet that standard and quoted replacing asphalt thickness at 3 inches for Madison St and the Alley behind the bank. North Pratt would be scratched and overlaid with 1.5 to 2 inches of new asphalt. These changes likely account for the lower bid.

Absent: Bob LaBarre, Tony Strenz

Also present: Computer Know How-Josh, 6-Citizens Pledge of Allegiance.

A motion was made by Schneider, seconded by Marty-Watson and carried by voice vote to approve the May 15, 2019 agenda.

Motion made by Teasdale, seconded by Marty-Watson and carried by voice vote to approve the minutes of the May 15, 2019 regular board meeting.

Hearings, public appearance & citizen comments:

1. Josh Montgomery from Computer Know How attended the meeting and addressed the board at their request to explain the proposal from CKH. The current situation in the clerk's office is that the past clerk was backing up all village e-mails on a nightly basis except for hers. The systems are only backed up once a day. The backup system replies on Windows backup, which is unmonitored and requires human interaction quite often to keep it running. Using external drives that need to be swapped daily and taken offsite by a user. None of the computers have virus protection. This was all being done on just one computer. The deputy clerk's computer has data on its C: drive that is not being backed up. Josh presented options to the board for recommendation:

Office365: e-mail service hosted by CK.H. E-mails would be hosted in the cloud by Microsoft. We would have the ability to completely synchronize the e-mail folders, calendar, and connects between all devices. The cost would be a one-time cost of$990.00 and a yearly cost of $432.00.

Barracuda Cloud Office365 backup service hosted by CKH to provide backup to all mailboxes. This service will allow restoration of e-mails or mailboxes that are deleted either accidently or intentionally. The service keeps backups by default for up to 3 years and backs up mailboxes 3 times per day. The cost would be a one-time cost of $90 and a yearly cost of $300.00.

Barracuda Cloud Archiver for Office365 service from CKH for compliance with open records laws and maintaining copies of everything sent/received for 7 years. This service will keep a copy of everything sent/received to/from every mailbox regardless of whether it was backed up or if the user deletes it in between backup jobs. The cost would be a one-time cost of$90 and $330.00 yearly.

Motion made by Teasdale to approve the February 5, 2020 agenda. Seconded by Voss. Motion carried by voice vote.

Marty-Watson noted that in the January 15 minutes the payroll dates should be January 3 and 17. Motion made by Marty-Watson to approve the minutes from January 15, 2020 with the correction as stated. Seconded by Nicholson. Motion carried by voice vote.

Hearings, public appearance & citizen comments:

• Bart Nies from Delta 3 discussed the plans for the WWTP upgrade due to new phosphorus limits required by the DNR. The Village needs to satisfy the new limits of .75 mg/liter by 2022. The Village will also be using Water Quality Trading to receive credits to help with the limits. They will utilize the stream banks throughout the community and are working with three property owners.

In 2018 the board approved a sewer rate increase based on an estimated cost of the project of$4.7 million. Neighboring property will need to be purchased. He described the project. It includes removing the old lab building and building a new one to become more efficient, upgrade equipment in the headworks building, new biophosphorus tanks for a $4,200 savings in chemicals, upgrade clarifiers, service garage will need minimal improvements, remove old service building, replacement of pumps and other equipment in the RAS/WAS building. The project has been submitted to the DNR. He's expecting the Village will have to reduce their I&I. Would like to get down to 10-20%. Looking at cake sludge process for sludge storage, so will have to increase size of the building. Processing will be reduced, can gain seven times more capacity and save about $10,500 per year. This could be in phase 2, but it is a more efficient process, less O&M expense. The total project cost would be the same as looked at in 2018. It will have no effect on the sewer rate increase adopted in 2018.

The project estimate is $4.7 million. The Village was going to put in $1 million and borrow $3. 7 million. His suggestion is to take the $1 million and use it towards I&I and borrow the $4.7 million, which will still result in less than $400/residence increase per year. Teasdale asked about lining sewers. Nies said it's cheaper to dig up and replace the laterals. If some places aren't that bad, can do some lining. Another way to help with the I&I is to solve the sump pump issue and have residents pump to their yards instead ofto the sewer. It will help keep rates down.

Discussion on cake sludge. LaBarre asked if the phosphorus is worth money. Nies stated only if create algae and sell the algae. Waupun is doing it, but it's very expensive and costs are too high for small communities. He'd like the board to make a

VILLAGEOF MONTICELLOBOARDMINUTES

decision today on the cake sludge storage. The CWF loan application is due to the DNR by September 30, 2020 and might get a grant as part of the CWF. The project will be ready to start in 2021. Komprood and Grossen recommend the cake sludge. Nies said they would do a pilot study first to make sure it will work here. The project costs would still be the same as in the past. Village has 84% l&I at this time.

Motion made by Teasdale to proceed with the screw press/cake sludge process for the WWTP as submitted by Delta 3 Engineering. Seconded by Strenz. Motion carried by voice vote. Miller said Finance Committee will discuss financing of the project and the I&I issue. If Village Board agrees to use the $1 million towards I&I, next step is for Nies, Komprood and Grossen to look at prioritizing the areas in the Village to fix. He'd like to get an answer by the next meeting in order to get something designed and planned. It's about $150,000-200,000 to do 1 block of water, sewer and street.

• Citizens Deven Riley and Kaylynne Skram were not present to discuss winter/street parking

• Craig Thoman discussed a 55 and over housing project. A friend told him of a process to build housing that would not be charged property taxes. It's his understanding it was passed in other communities, like Monroe and New Glarus. He would propose building 4 duplexes. He would like to know if the Village has an interest. Nies stated his assumption is that the other communities have a housing program or revolving loan program with grant money from the state whereby they give money at, for example, 0% interest, or no taxes for a period of time. He suggested calling the administrator or clerk in Monroe to see what the project was. Miller stated they can't give an answer tonight.

Motion made by Marty-Watson to approve the February 19, 2020 agenda with the amendment that item (c) of the Finance Report should read I&I, instead ofINI. Seconded by Strenz. Motion carried by voice vote.

Motion made by Strenz to approve the minutes from February 5, 2020. Seconded by Voss. Teasdale had a correction to the Safety report. It should read the squad has had $4,300 in repairs, not needs them. Motion carried by voice vote.

Hearings, public appearance & citizen comments:

• Craig Thoman and John Tye presented information on a 55 and older housing development project they would like to do in Monticello. Tye stated he's done a project like this in Town of Windsor. If the community sets up a Community Development Authority, there would be no real estate taxes on the units. People would have a life lease to the units. When that life lease changes, the CDA gets a fee and the developer charges a commission. Village would have to decide if having a 55 and older development would be an advantage for the community. It would be an age restricted development, not income. Monthly bills for maintenance would go to the residents. The CDA would be established, the developer would build and sell the units. Voss asked about the financial aspect from the Village and if there would be any taxes at all. Tye said it would be the legal fees to set up the Community Development Authority, and there could be a payment in lieu of taxes that the CDA makes to the Village. He also explained the CDA members are typically appointed by the board and have no financial liability. The CDA would have to go to other taxing jurisdictions and get approval. The biggest cost is setting up the CDA. The developer sells at fair market value, and gets a percentage every time a unit is sold. They would fix up everything after a sale. The units cannot be deeded to family. Thoman thanked the board for listening, and Miller thanked them for corning.

• John Matthews and Ron Lewis from Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans who put up the Memorial in the village would like to replace the concrete and redo the area to make it more maintenance free, at no cost to the Village. They would like to put up flagpoles also. They would use solar lights. Once finished, they would hold a dedication. They will be working with the Bruce Company and bring a plan to the Village. They asked if there will be a permit fee. Walmer stated she would pay for the fee ifthere is. Voss stated the Village could possibly waive the permit fee. Voss and Teasdale think it's a fantastic idea. Miller will put this on the next agenda.

Hearings, public appearance & citizen comments: Bob Goerhing- Cancelled.

Tere Dunlap/Citizen Comment: Attention brought to board about Library funds being cut. Citizen was a previously the Village President and stated it took couple years to figure out how to cut expenses and get services the village probably needed without increasing the expenses. Citizen sees children taking the programing packets and go bags daily from Library and believes this was all the Village had to offer to children this summer with the pool being closed. Pleased to see children using the Library. Would like board to reconsider putting back the $2,000 funding that may be cut.

Cindy Salas/Citizen Comment- School Librarian utilizes the Public Library 2-5 times per week for student request or book series that the school Library may not be able to get. There are also special needs children that need audio books that are borrowed from the Public Library. Public Library have gone above and beyond helping the teachers at the being of the school year for COVID to receive a list of 25 literary units and went to other Libraries to get all books needed. The teachers have slim book budgets, so the Public Library have supplemented so much to the school teachers this year and is much appreciated.

Committee Reports Finance; Leaora Miller

Motion made by Nicholson to give the Library $67,679 of the levy amotmt. Seconded by Miller. Open discussion/ Action- Strenz questioned where the funds for the Library come from? Miller stated 6-7% oflevy fund is given to the Library, while most municipalities give their Library roughly 3%. This is a $5,000 cut then what the Village has given in the past. LaBarre as a member of the Library board would not like to see the funds cut. The library is finally getting back on its feet, cut cost where they have needed and made very efficient moves at the Library. Cutting the levy money amount could hurt the community. The Library has lower monies from the eounty because of some of the past problems with the Library, but starting to work their way back on getting the monies back from the county, not there yet. LaBarre stated would not approve the cut of funds unless the money is going to be used in something that is going to benefit the community in a much better way. Miller stated on why the finance committee had come to this recommendation. The village has struggled over the years on giving the village employees pay increase. Public safety is looking to bring on a fulltime employee and PW is

VILLAGEOF MONTICELLOBOARDMINUTES

November 4, 2020

needing another 3,tl full time employee. The Village board, trustees, and president haven't seen a pay increase in 35 years. Miller also stated that there was a discrepancy of$2,000 between the Village records and the Library records for levy amount given for 2020. According to the Village budget, the Village gave $74,000 and the Library has on file $72,000. Miller agreed that the Library does lot of the community and doesn't want to take that away from the Village at all. The Library donations are getting a pretty good interest rate every month. Katrina reported at the last board meeting that sometimes the interest brings in $2,000-$3,000 a month on the donations. Finance committee looked to see where they could make up a little extra, wasn't done vindictively, we just felt it was a place we could cut a little bit from. Strenz stated the Library provides a function for the community, but it doesn't plow roads, it doesn't make toilets flush, it doesn't clean up the parks, there are a lot of things the Library doesn't do that the village is running short upon. Henning addressed where funding comes from for the Library.

President's Report by Leaora Miller

When the Case Old End Loader was approved for purchase there wasn't a part in the motion on where the purchasing is coming from and what department the funds needed to come from. The auditors brought to Miller's attention that everything needs to budget just right, so the board needs to clarify where the funds are coming and going from. A decision needs to be made to figure out if the Old End Loader purchase needs to come from the Sewer department fund. Grossen-PW Supervisor advised Miller the purchase of the Old End Loader was part of the Sewer Plant upgrade cost $19,000. Motion made by Henning to have the Case Old End Loader purchased by the Sewer Plant for the Sewer Plant upgrade from the PW Street Department for $19,000. Seconded by LaBarre. Motion carried voice vote.

Miller stated from now on when the board makes motions, it will need to be stated where the purchasing funds are coming from.

Miller addressed Strenz's previous request from the board meeting held on January 20, 2021 if there is an out-clause with Security Technologies if the Village wanted to get out of the safe deposit box holding. Security Technologies informed Miller the Village would NOT be able to get out of the 5-year contract because we would be receiving the free cellular module for signing up for 5 years. Miller received the list of vault boxes, but it only states how many boxes are being utilized with is 84 boxes currently.

Strenz addressed the costs to clarify: The alarm system would be $325/ year whether we are in a 3- or 5-year contract. The cost would be additional $190/year totaling $515/year. If the Village signed a 5-year monitoring agreement for the Vault security, the security system would waive the upgrade charge ($290) of the cellular module. If the Village signed a 3-year contract, there would be a one-time charge of $290 for the cellular module. Strenz addressed the Village is spending $1030.00 more signing up for the 5-year contract to receive $290 free compared to signing up for a 3-year contract which the Village would need to by the cellular modem for $290 and not be locked into a 5-year contract. Garrison questioned if the Village can sign up for a yearly contract, Miller stated we have to sign 5-year contract if we receive the free modem.

VILLAGEOF MONTICELLOBOARDMINUTES

February 3, 2021

Boxes are $20/year each for the rental which could help for revenue to absorb the service cost. Miller addressed this yearly cost would be split with the Police Department.

Motion made by Henning to sign the 5-year contract with Service Security Technologies with the free Cellular Modem (cost waved $290) for a total of $515/year for 5 years and splitting it between the Police Department and Village Hall Office for the alarm for the vaults. Seconded by Nicholson. Motion made by Henning to amended the yearly cost amounts to $325/year for the security and $190/year for the cellular back up totaling $515/year. Seconded by Nicholson.

Miller addressed to the board that Personnel has done all the hiring in the Village. Under Teri Dunlap it was changed to have the committees hire employees. Reason for that was having the people that sit know the job and who would qualify. Miller would like to see something solid be set for how the hiring process should be acted on. The Village Clerk there isn't a committee to oversee them so the hiring would be done differently. Recommendation from Miller: Each department wouldn't need the whole committee to be involved, could have half the committee look at the application and the other half do the interview and then the top 2-3 people come to the Village Board for them to oversee and interview. Life guards are hired out by the committee due to the turnover and high volume of employees. Henning recommend having each committee oversee each application and take the top 2-3 candidates to the Board for an interview. Strenz noted it would be beneficial to have each department head involved in the hiring process and not the committee itself doing the hiring. Have the board and department head involved.

Miller addressed to the board that Szvon has been allowed to hire part time officers instead of it coming to the board. Reason being is because there is a much longer process to hire a police officer then it is for other departments. At Public Safety last week, Voss questioned the hiring process of part time officers and would like to see the President or public chair to have a part of the hiring. Szvon does keep Miller always updated throughout the hiring process and there is wonderful communication. Garrison was present at the Public Safety meeting. Miller stated that it would cost the Village more money having Szvon or Harkey on overtime because there not being a part time spot filled due to it having to go through the board. If Szvon continues to do the hiring, he should send an email out to the Committee and board on updates of employment.

Miller would like to see there being more open communication with each committee during each meeting that is held so all Board Members are aware of what is happening. If there are no meetings being held to just give some type of update so the Board and Public are aware of ALL things.

Motion made by Strenz that the hiring process for Public Works and Public Safety that the Village President and Committee Chair be involved in the hiring process. The motion will reflect that we are excluding the Parks Department because the life guards have a higher turnover rate and are less detrimental to the Village operation. Seconded by Nicholson. Motion carried by voice vote.

Miller addressed to the board that the auditors said the budget looked amazing and under budget. We received more revenue in then what was budgeted.

• Kuhlman presented the levy for the 2022 payable 2023 year will be $775,765. This is a decrease from the previous year due to approximately $25,000 of debt being paid off in 2022. General Fund budget for 2023 is $1,038,044.96, which is lower than last year due to $71,000 from the referendum money going into the Capital Fund for a new fire engine in the future.

• Several citizens asked about dedicating a portion of the pond for ice skating use. In the past they've cleaned the area, but then others will use it for fishing holes, etc. They are asking if the village would clear an area and put up a sign that it's dedicated for use as a skating area. Pederson said years ago it was discussed at Parks & Recreation meeting and the school actually did it. Komprood confirmed that the school did it for years until their maintenance person fell through the ice. He said the fire department used to do it also. The citizens asked if at least some equipment could be put by the boat launch area for when they do use it. Lots of kids use the pond. It will be put on a Public Works Committee or Parks and Recreation Committee meeting to discuss and bring back to the board.

• Public Safety discussed installing a camera system mounted on the village hall that would face down Main Street.

Personnel:

• Schneider reported the committee conducted interviews last night and have more scheduled for early next week. They did have a few cancellations. The goal is to have someone hired to start the first of the year.

November16, 2022

• LaBarre reported the committee discussed the personal and vacation hours change in the new manual that was approved earlier in the year. They first discussed keeping banked hours in a separate file for future use, but the employees wish to be paid out but will carry over some hours of each into the next year to decrease the amount. The new manual allows for 40 hours of carryover for each. The intent now is to start new at the beginning of the year and allow the employees to be paid their banked hours. The total will come to about $35,000 for all employees. Employees are okay with carrying over 40 hours of personal and 40 hours of vacation to next year. Schneider said there are some other inconsistencies in the manual and the committee will have to look at it from beginning to end so it makes sense for all involved. Komprood said it would help to get input from the different departments. Board discussed options.

• Nicholson said it's easier to start new and pay out. Motion made by Nicholson to allow employees to carry over 40 hours of vacation and 40 hours of personal time from 2022 and pay out their banked hours as of the end of the year from undesignated reserves and go forward with what's in the manual for next year, and it includes library personnel. Seconded by Dunlap. Roll call vote taken: Dunlap aye; Nicholson aye; Garrison aye; Schneider aye; Bittner aye; Pederson aye; LaBarre aye. Motion carried.

• LaBarre thanked everyone for their help going through the budget

• Schneider asked if the forensic audit is finished. LaBarre confirmed it is. Komprood asked how much it cost and why was it done. LaBarre said the audit went tln·ough the attorney's office.

Pledge of Allegiance. Roll call taken by Leaora Miller.

Motion made by Fuhr to approve the June 21, 2022 Agenda. Seconded by LaBarre. Motion carried by voice vote.

Hearings, public appearance & citizen comments:

• WI Cheese Group representatives, Sabrosusa Foods representatives, Public Works Director Kevin Komprood, and the Village of Monticello Board Members all meet to discuss a permeate leak into our waste system due to a mechanical valve malfunction. Komprood caught the leak at 6: IO a.m. on Monday June 20, 2022. He called Penninston, which told him he would shut down immediately. Very tense discussion followed for the next two days. A variety of negative and non-productive interactions followed between WI Cheese staff and Village Public Works employee. Representatives requested guidance on how to move forward and give us waste again to President Miller, at which time this meeting was called by Miller to get the input of the entire board, as it is not a decision that any one person employed by the village can or should make alone. After discussion was heard from all parties, the decision was made that WI Cheese would send clean water over the next few days or week until the permeate is clear at the sewer plant. WI Cheese will then start sending waste back to us. WI Cheese is implementing a check list and sheet for their employees to check hourly to hopefully catch a leak, if one happens again, sooner.

Kevin,

I think that looks fine but we also would like a years' worth of water bills reviewed as well. There were apparently some discrepancies there too. Obviously, if your investigation reveals issues, or additional areas of concern, we may need to either broaden the scope or increase the look back period.

Let me know if you need anything else.

tax collection agreement

TAX COLLECTIONAGREEMENT- V MONTICELLO.docx; master.docx

Attached is a tax collection agreement for the contracting of the collection of 1'' installment of taxes. Also attached is a letter that we will need on your stationary with the highlighted areas completed with your information. We show that the Village has an ordinance on file in lieu of bonding for the tax collection.

If you will not be contracting with the County for your tax collection I will need that in writing as soon as possible. We have several requests as to who we will be collecting for; I need to advise our banks that we contract with for 1st half collections and you will need to get setup if you are going to be collecting taxes.

Once again if you could please advise in writing as soon as possible that would be very helpful. Otherwise if you can have the signed agreements back to our office after your next Village Board meeting that would also be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Sfwvd
