Discussion and possible action on Bank Proposals for Town Funds – Town Treasurer Breiwa explained that two different banks (One Community Bank and Lake Ridge Bank, both of Waunakee) have approached us wanting to give proposals for being our banking provider. She has been happy with the service from our current bank, D MB, but wanted to give the board members the information that the other two banks provided. Breiwa also explained to the board that she spoke with our auditor, Johnson Block, about the possibility of combining a few of the savings accounts into a “pooled” account so that there would not be so many accounts to reconcile on a monthly basis. JB agre ed that this is a good time to do that, and that the accounting software will take care of knowing what balance is designated for each purpose. The utility accounts, cemetery fund and developers accounts would still all remain separate. The board members reviewed the proposals along with what we are currently receiving from DMB. Discussion was held. MOTION (Endres, Sweatt); motion carried by roll call vote of (4-0) to approve moving all town funds to Lake Ridge Bank from DMB bank and combining some of the savings accounts into one as discussed.
