  1. Discussion of process for landowners seeking exclusion from the district: A landowner currently in the district on its southeast edge approached Stoneback prior to the meeting to express a desire to be excluded from the district. Counsel advised the baord has the power to exclude property as it wishes.

  2. Annexation Resolution: Several residents/landowners from the proposed areas of annexation spoke in opposition to the annexation plan. Some expressed concern about increased taxes. Others expressed concern about the cost of hooking up to a sewer system. The board explained that annexation was only a first step and that constructing a sewer system is distant prospect. After further public input and discussion, Stoneback moved, Heidelberger seconded, that the Lake Herman Sanitary District retain its current boundaries; i.e., the boundaries as defined by the original 1978 official district map. Motion carried.

  3. Set date, time, place of next meeting: Stoneback advised that the Interlakes Water Quality Committee will be having a meeting in early March that may produce information warranting attention from the Lake Herman Sanitary District. The board thus decided to delay its next meeting until after the IWQC meeting. Next board meeting will take place Wednesday, March 19, 6:30 p.m., at the Madison Public Library meeting room.

  4. Adjourn. Heidelberger moved, Stoneback seconded; meeting adjourned 7:26 p.m.
