Health and SafetyDoug Dorgan advised that one of the signs the Association posted at the access site has been vandalized.  It was reported that Eagle Lake in Texas Township has had an ordinance passed prohibiting parking at the lake access site; this will be investigated to determine the validity of such an action at our lake.

 

Water Quality:  Chuck Cubbage advised the milfoil appeared to be absent from most areas with the exception of the

South corner of Trails End; this may be a result of several factors, including activity of the weevils.  Further examination as the summer season progresses will provide more information.   Ruth Wilkinson shared some feedback from her Collins Cove neighbors concerned that overall weed growth in the lake had increased, the neighbor was made aware of the influence various pollutants had on normal weed growth despite any reduction in the milfoil population.

 

Newsletter:  Doug Dorgan passed out drafts of the newsletter, advertisements and the advertising insert provided by Look Sharp; and explained how the ads would be included in the document.  What was presented was acceptable to the Board Members with a couple of minor changes.  Chuck Cubbage and Doug will prepare the final draft and get it to Brian Hansen for printing on Wednesday.  Pat Cubbage will purchase 300 stamps for mailing.  A group will assemble Thursday to fold, seal, address and stamp the newsletters for mailing on Thursday or Friday.

 

Nominating Committee:  There was no report required; nominees are listed in the newsletter.

   

Old Business:  Doug Dorgan had reported to the Board Members via phone shortly after the April meeting that the Van Buren Conference Center was not available for the annual meeting and the cost was prohibitive for use on a Saturday anyhow.  As a result the Annual meeting is scheduled for July 2 at Keepsake Shores.  Announcement is made in the newsletter.
