UPDATES: LPA AND UNIT LEADERS
ACCOMPLISHEMENTS: The Wine and
Cheese Tasting in this Saturday from 6:00 9:00 with free will donations being
taken. Crackers, fruit and all the snacks will be provided. The Unit Leaders
are pleased with their renovation efforts on the interior which they feel they
have made more desirable. Most of the work was done by the exercise group
MANY THANKS. The budget of $500.00 allowed for molding around the archways,
air-conditioner and kitchen cabinets. Total dollar amount spend was $497.04
with all labor and many decorative items donated. John also cleaned the
gutters; power washed the siding and fixed the bathroom floor. Thank you to all
for a great job. OLD BUSINESS UPDATES: OPERATIONAL COMMITTEE:
Dan Bru looked into a new flag pole from a company in Fort Dodge. (This is the
company that did the Foster Bldg.) The price of an internal 25 with a 4 x 6
flag would run $1600.00. An external 35 with 4 x 6 flat would run $1375.00.
Other than the height, the only difference is the locking mechanism which
prevents vandalism. Total cost with lights and landscaping should be under
$2000.00. Jan motioned that we purchase the 35 external with extra clips to
allow for both the American flag and red NO WAKE flag to fly at the same time.
Bob seconded the motion. All were in favor. Dan will get with Ron Lang and
purchase the pole. TORNADO SIREN:
John reminded that the next president will need to take over the duty of calling
every 3rd Saturday to have the siren blown. UPCOMING EVENTS:
FISHING DERBY: There were not as many involved this year, partly due to having to reschedule and just the poor weather in general. ICE CREAM SOCIAL: It will be held August 2nd. FIREWORKS: The fireworks were on Channel 3 and were terrific once again. Plans are to have the event on the 4th next year which is a Saturday if we can get a company to do it. Hopefully, we will get our request in early enough to do so. If not, we will do it on Friday the 3rd. We may also need to look into raising the allotted amount with higher prices indicating a shorter show. Dan will contact Midnight Rainbows. ASSIGNMENT OF DUTIES REPORTS: Roads, Dredging/Silt Control/Water Run off Deanne Paxson, Jan Tope and President of LPA: No report Barbie added that the rescheduling of the asphalt has not been determined. Water Testing Dan Bru: Dan will be doing the after the 4th sampling this week. Boat Ramp Jim Knoblauch: Jim was unavailable but Dan offered to bring down his skid loader and move the pile of rock down at the boat ramp area. Jan thought if a crew could get together and pull posts and trim up the tree we could get it looking a lot better without putting any money into it right now. Paul brought a brochure regarding the Zebra Mussel that the DNR sent out. A notice should be put in the Anchor with a web-link to the DNR website. A sign may also be available to post. Tom and Phyllis offered to look into this. Unit Leaders Deanne Paxson: See above Building Improvements Don Flater: See above Anchor Tom Carstensen: Articles are due immediately for the July/August issue. Durr Marine Storage will have a flyer for this issue. Welcome Packet Jim Knoblauch, Phyllis Anderson: Tom and wife looked over the packet and found several items that need to be adjusted before handing out. Lake Rules/Lake Patrol/Private Lake Status Bob Helmick: No report Access Area Phyllis Anderson, Barbie Ahrens: Phyllis was happy to announce that the committee met with the owners of the access areas and drew up a proposal for Unit 11 NE Access and had presented it to Bill Ahrens. It appears work should begin next week. NEW BUSINESS: ELECTION OF OFFICERS: John asked for nominations for President. Deanne nominated Jan as President. Carter motioned that nominations cease. Bob seconded the motion. All were in favor. Tom nominated Jim as Vice-President. Carter motioned that nominations cease. Dan seconded the motion. All were in favor. Deanne nominated Tom to continue to be the Financial Director. Motion was made that nominations cease. Bob seconded the motion. All were in favor. OPEN FORUM: A resident at the lake lost everything at their primary residents in Cedar Falls. A discussion regarding the Association helping in this situation was discussed and voted that this should be on an individual, voluntary basis. Deanne moved that the meeting be adjourned and Jan seconded the motion. The next regular meeting will be Wednesday August, 13 2008 @ 7:00 PM. Meeting adjourned at 8:12 p.m. Respectfully submitted Laura Allen
