5. Discussion and action on approval of Wis-Pak parking lot expansion storm water management: Herzog stated
Wis-Pak is requesting a small expansion to their parking lot. Motion by Phillps to approve the Wis-Pak parking lot expansion
storm water management; second by Herzog. Motion carried 5-0.
6. Discussion and action on approval of easement for Valley Road sidewalk: Herzog explained there is an empty lot
right along Valley on the south side of the road. There are two property owners that have requested the sidewalk be moved
onto their property because of the topography and the drainage. This would keep the sidewalk from going into the ditch. The
Pabst Farms District owns a piece. Motion by Phillips to approve the easement for Valley Rd Sidewalk; second by Brozovich.
Motion carried 5-0.
7. Discussion and action on possible easements for extension of pathway for Village Crossings: Herzog stated this
goes back years. The existing walking path around the pond is gravel. Now the Condo Association has asked the city to
remove the path. He stated the developer never completed the path as originally planned. Brozovich stated Brian Bell is
putting the remainder of the path in with upcoming developments. The association will be responsible for maintenance.
Commissioners discussed concerns on moving the path, the removal of trees and defer this to the city and set limits.
Commissioners agree to let the city get feedback and bring this back for approval. No action taken.
8. Discussion and action on fence between SUMT0636992006 and Summit Cemetery: Nash explained this is the
property to the north of the cemetery where there is a large wet pond. There is an existing split rail fence that goes along the
north property line. It is seriously degrading and falling down and the Village has had staff remove a bunch of sections. The
cemetery is hesitant on spending $20K to replace the entire stretch. Nash stated the Village doesn’t have the staff to complete
with work. She stated the Summit Cemetery Board has requested feedback from the district on removing the fencing
completely or should it be replaced and would the district be willing to help fund the replacement. Commissioners discussed
having the cemetery put up signage, funding, removing the fence and putting up trees. Nash will go back to the Cemetery
Board and report that they should remove the fence and if there are problems we will revisit it and no help with funding at this
time. No action taken.

Motion by Herzog to nominate Nash as President; second by Phillips. Motion carried 5-0.
Motion by Nash to nominate Herzog as Vice President; second by Phillips. Motion carried 5-0.
Motion by Herzog to nominate Phillips as Secretary; second by Wagner. Motion carried 5-0.
9. Reports of Staff: Nash gave an update on the Lake Country Village and Interlaken Village pond improvements. Two
ponds were inspected and are ready to be transferred to the district. Also, she has been getting a lot of emails and phone calls
on the conditions of the ponds in terms of overgrowth and vegetation. These items will be on a future agenda.
