Potluck/Community Meeting Including Summary Minutes

Good Food!
Good Company!

Good Conversation!


Good Meeting!
Summary of Meeting Minutes:

Members were welcomed and thanked for a good workday.

Gayle announced that Shirley's mother Harriette had passed away and that she had taken a Hydrangea plant to Shirley from the community along with a card.

Minutes from Fall meeting and financial reports were presented and approved.

There was a discussion about delinquent accounts and what was being done to collect.

Community was advised that liens have been filed on three residences.

There was a discussion regarding the idea of a "profit/loss" statement instead of present financial report format. The treasurer and board will explore the idea further.

The Assessment Vote passed

42 ballots were returned out of 48.
Vote #1 regarding spending $15,000 for repairing the crack and having Aquatapoxy liner sprayed in water tank passed - 41 Yes - 1 No
Vote #2 regarding borrowing from the water fund to begin paving project and then replenish water fund from the assessment funds passed - 32 Yes - 10 No
Vote #3 regarding implementing an assessment of $5,000.00 per family to be paid within 3 years after implementation; each community member being given the option of three installment plans passed - 32 Yes - 9 No

Gayle reported that the biggest issues with no votes were related to those who do not use the roads or those who do not use the docks and therefore do not feel they should pay.

The billing for the assessment will go out within the next couple of weeks and the first installment will be due July 5th.

Bylaws will be presented to the community hopefully by the September meeting.

Suggestion was made that we raise community dues to provide a better financial cushion.

It was reported that the water tank has been repaired and the aquatapoxy liner had been applied.

Bids for paving the roads were discussed. Dennis and Grant will proceed with narrowing down the bids and securing a contract for the paving of the roads.

Pete and Brooke discussed the dock project and the various bids obtained. They advised that the contracting process could take up to two years.

A summer picnic is being planned for August. Karen and Judy will take the lead and advise when a date has been determined.

Voting of officers took place and the results were as follows:

Gayle - President
Brooke - Vice-President
Pete - Water Commissioner
Trustees (2 year term) - Judy, Grant, Tom, Dennis
Trustee (1 year term) - Nancy
September 11th will be the Fall work party and community meeting.
