1.       Approve Letter of withdrawal from Lime Ridge: The Village of Lime Ridge has provided a letter to the Commission that as of December 31, 2023, the Village wishes to leave the Commission. Motion by Rehr to allow Lime Ridge to end their membership. Second by Lankey. Motion carried.

2.       Update on the City of Reedsburg’s contract proposal: City Administrator Becker informed us that he had secured agreements, either in writing or verbally, from all the municipalities except the Village and Town of LaValle. Commissioners Rego and Dee shared that their municipalities had consulted their attorney to ensure the contract's wording was accurate to the intent of the contract and would be contacting Administrator Becker with any concerns.

Commissioner Mead created uncertainty about the Town of Winfield’s intent by merely stating that the township hadn't provided any paperwork at this time. There were no further comments nor questions asked.

3.       Approve / Deny Transfer of funds from the Building Addition account to general checking: Director Kowalke revealed how the general checking account has been significantly reduced due to employee salary increases and may run very low on funds before assessments arrive in January.
