Pier Committee report was given by Jay Hencken-

A notice to remove was posted on a pier at the east end of Lake Shore Drive.  Jay talked to a gentleman that claimed ownership of the boat, but not the pier.  It will be removed within 30 days.  There is a survey being done on Basso’s property that should hopefully overturn the pier issue there.  Vickee Hansen stated that all the pier applications for current pier spot holders are mailed and being signed and returned to the Pier Committee.  A letter was sent to Members that are not in good standing that are currently on the pier waiting list.  Some of those have been paid.  The letter for the pier auction has been sent to members on the waiting list and Gene has been answering Members questions regarding the auction.

 

Lake front committee report was given by Cassandra Kordecki

There are serious problems with the restoration area on the west end.  Creative Edge would like to come and talk to us about remedies to the situation.  The lakeshore water issues are being addressed by the Town.  The playground equipment needs its own sub committee; it is too large of a task with all of issues that need to be addressed.  Jay Hencken has turned all the playground info he had obtained over to the Lakefront Committee.  We need volunteers for the playground sub committee.  We should have a master plan for the lakefront so we know where we go next.  She has requested two bids for a master plan and those two companies/people will come to the Clubhouse on May 16th to talk to us.  Bids for the 2009 grass cutting at the Clubhouse and the lakeshore are being received.  The Town is going to oil the goose eggs; the lakefront committee is looking for ways to keep the geese off of the beaches.

 

Activity Committee:

The Easter Egg Hunt will be April 11th at 10 am sharp followed by a Pancake Breakfast on April 25th at 8:30 am.

 

Welcome Committee: None

 

Communications Committee report was given by Cassandra Kordecki.

There is a pretty good draft of the new Association web site.  At this time it is pass word protected.  It will be released next week for public viewing.  We need to decide if we want to put links to area businesses keeping in mind that linking to other sites also opens us up to viruses.  We also have the capability to use Pay Pal for members to pay their assessments on line if we choose to set that up. 

 

 

By-laws committee was given by John Sullivan  

The attorney is done reviewing the By-laws and he is waiting for a couple of Committee members to sign off on it yet.  Then will come the copying and mailing to be mailed when we have an accurate membership list.

 

Old business:   

 

Jackie Lickerman Q: When elections take place in June is that for everyone or what?  She also mentioned there were different understandings by the board members as to what the vote would be on and that is why she was brining it up.  Gene Decker had asked her to bring the question to the Board.  There was discussion among all Board members at which time it was clear there were several different views on what the vote would be for.  Gene Decker also from audience stated... the reason he asked her to bring the question up was because he himself through conversation with various Board members found there to be inconsistency in what the vote would be on.

A: For President and vacancies in districts 1 & 4.

Richard Kieszkowski makes a Motion to have all Board Members vacate their positions and re run seconded by Jackie Lickerman.  3 yea/2neys those apposed are Laura Woolard and Stephanie Johnson.
