Mr. Veverka indicated the Attorneys will publish the notices in the Paddock Publications.  He also mentioned the Ethics Statements should be mailed out next month.

 

After discussing the Blue Cross/Blue Shield policy, the Board decided to stay with the current Blue Cross/Blue Shield policy.

 

Mr. Szyska mentioned a few items from the Staff meeting minutes.  Mark Baker is drafting a letter to the villages and cities within the District for GIS information they might have on their catch basins and also for information on their catch basin cleaning programs.  Tom Anderson will be sending some mosquitoes collected in the tunnels to the CDC for a research project they are working on.

 

Mr. Szyska is trying to get some quotes for the annual fiscal year end audit to review along with the quote from McClure, Inserra & Co. who have been doing the District’s audit for over 25 years.

 

There being no further business to come before the Board a motion was made to adjourn and it passed unanimously.
