DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE AUDIT REPORT
The Department of Insurance Audit Report had been received for
the audit conducted several months ago. There were a couple of
items mentioned as exceptions, which have since been taken care
of, however, the State still maintains that Paul Watkins is an
ineligible member of the Fund.

A brief history was given on this matter, noting that the Pension
Fund Board has gone on record as recognizing Paul Watkins as an
active member of the Pension Fund. Several years ago the
Department of Insurance took action against the Board on this
matter. A Public Hearing was held and our attorney represented
the Board indicating our position that Paul Watkins is a member
of the Pension Fund, due to the fact that the Village assumed all
assests and liabilities of the Forest River Fire Protection
District, pursuant to Court Order. The Department of Insurance
stated that an determination would be issued in a couple of
months following that hearing. The Secretary of this Fund has
been in contact with Mr. Anderson's Office of the Department of
Insurance on several occasions, each time she was told that a
determination had not been made on this matter.
Don Barra, seconded by Carol Fields, moved to authorize the
Secretary to respond to the Audit Report and reiterate the
Board's position on Paul Watkins's membership in the Fund.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Barra, Cavello, Fields, Jesse, McKillop
Ulreich, Werderitch
Nays: None
Motion carried.
An item was brought to the attention of the Board that was not
listed on the agenda, namely the bill from Dr. Magee for Ron
Olsen's examination.
Del Ulreich, seconded by Richard Jesse, moved to authorize the
payment of $204.00 to Dr. Magee for services rendered in
connection with Ron Olsen's re(luest for disability pension.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Barra, Cavello, Fields, Jesse, McKillop
Ulreich, Werderitch
Nays: None
