Village Board Meeting October 10, 2012
This meeting was called to order at 7:30pm by President Schraufnagel. Roll call showed all members present. Also in attendance were Chief Mireski, Katie Leb-Petrick of the Dodge County Pionier, Shannon Barniskis, Brian Koll and Jenna Rhein.
Motion by Tr. Gilson, seconded by Tr. Hanke to approve the previous meeting’s minutes as dispensed by email. Motion carried.
Motion by Tr. Schroeder, seconded by Tr. Bublitz to pay the bills as listed for the month of October. General Fund $31,678.20; Utility Fund $50,517.77; Squad Car Fund $611.84; Crime Prevention Fund $358.47. Motion carried.
Chief Mireski and Jenna Rhein presented the Board with information pertaining to Village employee life insurance. Currently, the Village provides some Village employees with $25,000 term life insurance through Farm Bureau Life. The entire premium is paid by the Village. After some research, Chief Mireski and Jenna Rhein were able to locate a new policy that would insure more employees, provide more coverage, and cost less than the current policy. The Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds would offer basic group life insurance and allow employees to purchase additional coverage at a cost to the employee. Motion by Tr. Gilson, seconded by Tr. Schraufnagel to adopt Resolution #878 inclusion under group life insurance for eligible Village employees through the Department of Employee Trust Funds. Motion carried.
The current life insurance offered to Village employees costs approximately $2,000 per year for ten $25,000 policies. The Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds life insurance would cost approximately $1,700 per year for fourteen policies. Each employee’s life insurance policy would be equal to his/her previous year’s wages. Motion by Tr. Bublitz, seconded by Tr. Schroeder to adopt Resolution #879 employer to pay entire premium of basic group life insurance for eligible Village employees through the Department of Employee Trust Funds. Motion carried.
Budget process recommendations were discussed. Each Village committee will meet with the corresponding department head to discuss the department’s budget in detail. Fire and Police Committee will meet with Chief Mireski. Streets and Utilities Committee and Rules and Regulations Committee will meet with Brian Koll. Employee Committee will meet with Jenna Rhein. President Schraufnagel and Jenna Rhein will attend all meetings. Once committees have met with department heads, they will present their numbers to the Board.

Tony Kappell of McMahon met with Brian Koll to discuss the trading pollution credit plan and wastewater plants and possibly develop a group of area municipalities to work together.
