Citizen Input: Richard Ziemann noted the Village is in a very fortunate position to have a lake district to maintain the dam and pond, and complimented Dane Zook’s involvement in those efforts. He commented on several agenda items citing state statutes that say the Village Board is the governing body of the Inland Lake District, the levy was already set at the meeting on 8/10/20, and suggested forming of a citizen advisory committee to better address the needs of the dam and pond. 6. Determine Who is the Legal Authority and Governing Structure of Inland Lake: Village President Raap reported the board had elected officers and set the levy at the annual meeting that was held August 10. Questions concerning who had the legal authority over the district have since been determined to be the Village Board. President Raap and Administrator/PWD McKee wanted to ensure the progress already made by Dane Zook was not hampered by this issue. Dane Zook stated he would like the Board to establish an advisory group consisting of representatives from local citizens, civic groups, school district, and County land conservation experts. This group would meet as needed and update the Village Board with all plans before any steps are taken.  MOTION from the floor to clarify the Village Board of the Village of Fall Creek serves as the governing authority of the Village of Fall Creek Inland Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District, which was established on 2/20/1978 and according to §33.23 of Wisconsin Statutes. The Village Board President assumes the position of Chairman, the Village Clerk-Treasurer assumes the position of Secretary-Treasurer. There will be no need in the future for election of officers for the Inland Lake District Board. PASSED with vote from the floor. 7. Election of New Officers, If Applicable: No action needed. 8.
