Windsor authorizes Sensus USA service agreement; attorney empowered to negotiate liability and term language
Summary
The Village Board approved Resolution 2026‑36 to enter a service agreement with Sensus USA and authorized Attorney William Cole to negotiate removal of a limitation‑of‑liability clause and to add an early‑termination provision to the proposed 10‑year term.
The Village of Windsor Village Board voted unanimously on April 2, 2026 to approve Resolution 2026‑36, authorizing a service agreement with Sensus USA and directing the village attorney to negotiate revisions to legal terms before final execution.
Utility Manager Jon Claas presented the proposed agreement. Attorney William Cole advised the board that he had two concerns with the draft: a limitation‑of‑liability clause that he recommended striking and the proposed 10‑year term, which he recommended include language permitting early termination if the software fails to meet municipal needs or the village opts to change vendors. Trustee Monica Smith moved to approve the resolution and to authorize Attorney Cole to negotiate the agreement as discussed; Trustee Ed Wall seconded the motion, and it carried on a 5–0 vote.
The minutes record the board’s approval and the instruction for counsel to negotiate specified contract provisions; the document does not include the full contract language or the final negotiated terms. The resolution appears on the minutes as item 9.b and was recorded as approved without amendment to the resolution text in the minutes.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: Attorney Cole was authorized to pursue the negotiated language; the minutes do not specify an execution date or funding appropriation in this entry.
