shall report to the Treasurer the title, nature of offenses, and amount
of judgments imposed in actions and proceedings in which such monies

of Osceola and Dresser shall enter into a joint operating agreement
to exercise the authority under § 755.01(1), Wis. Stats.
This ordinance, whose substantive terms shall be adopted by
each of the participating Villages, shall not be deemed to have been
amended by either of the Village Boards unless and until each of the
Village Boards shall adopt the same, exact ordinance amending or creating
this ordinance.
