TOWN OF FOND DU LAC
FOND DU LAC COUNTY
WORKSHOP MEETING
APRIL 4, 2007
6:00 PM

The Workshop Meeting was called to order by Chairman Harold Manske. 
Present were Chairman Manske, Supervisors Phyllis Giese and LeRoy
Schmitz, Clerk Patti Supple, Treasurer Mel Buechel, Attorney John St.
Peter, Chris Kaempfer,  Mike Tolvstad, Dave Wagner and various Town
residents.  Confirmation was made of open meeting notice.  

Chris Kaempfer presented a map of the proposed water district which
encompassed all the new growth in the area of the west side of the
Town.  He noted that existing well owners would not be required to
hook up to the new system unless their wells failed, or they wanted to
hook up due to poor pressure or poor water quality.  In the existing
subdivisions, the lines would be put in by the Town/water district. 
He proposed a front foot charge as well as a water service charge.

Dave Wagner of Ehlers & Associates presented the financing report.  He
recommended an area wide special assessment to all properties within
the utility district plus a tax levy or fire protection fee.  He noted
that the “old users” should not have to subsidize the “new users”. 
The present well owners would only pay the mil tax rate.  Hook ups can
connect when they need service, or after a time limit set by the
district, or when the property sells.  They would still pay the
special assessment.

The Board discussed the need to review the agreement with the City of
Fond du Lac concerning the lines along the north side of Highway 23
within the City growth area to determine whether the properties could
be assessed a tax rate or fire service fee.   It was recommended that
the Public Service Commission be notified of the plans before a public
hearing is held. Mr. Wagner will handle the paper work and a
conference call with Chairman Manske, Attorney St. Peter, Mr. Kaempfer
and Mr. Wagner and the PSC will be planned.  The recommendation was to
use a 10 year plan for financing and to check with National Exchange
Bank to see if they are interested in financing and what their
interest rate wouldb e.  

Dates recommended for the public hearing were May 15th or 23rd at 7:00
pm at the Town Hall.  

Motion was made and seconded to adjourn.  Motion carried.
