Water Quality: Chuck Cubbage noted the water level was 16 inches below the high of spring 1998; he also emphasized that many of the newsletter articles try to address nutrients feeding all the weeds in the lake. Ruth Wilkinson noted that Maple Lake in Paw Paw has sewers but they have problems similar to those we have.
Newsletter: A new draft of the newsletter was reviewed by everyone along with an address list for labels. With a few modifications the Board members believed the articles were appropriate and the addresses were correct as far as they were aware. Chuck Cubbage and Brian Hansen will handle printing of the newsletter when final copy is ready.
Nominating Committee: No report necessary
Old Business: Annual Meeting Preparations: We have not heard from Jerry King regarding use of the Keepsake Shores access site but are going on the assumption it will be approved. Chuck Cubbage is arranging for the Ground Water Model to be displayed at the Annual Meeting. Doug Dorgan is arranging for a Septic System model to be displayed. Ken has the tent used last year. Skip will have a couple bags of lake safe fertilizer for display. Results of the sewer system study opinion survey being included in the newsletter will be discussed. If interest is strong enough Chuck will ask the engineering firm working with the Township to make a presentation. Board members gave Dave Baker approval to pursue his suggestion to Leader Marine for a Demo Day presentation following the Annual Meeting. Doug will extend an invitation to the Van Buren Sheriff office to have a water safety representative at the annual meeting. Doug will also ask Pat Cummings if we can again use their gazebo and electricity to brew coffee.
New Business: Chuck Cubbage asked if the Board was interested in another water quality survey by Dr. Fusilier; this business was tabled until funds are available following the newsletter and annual meeting member solicitations. Doug Dorgan advised he has purchased 25 Eagle Lake door mats for resale at $30 each, with the difference between his price and the sale price going to the Lake Association treasury.
Next Meeting Date: Tuesday May 9, 2006. One additional meeting is scheduled for June 13, 2006
Adjournment: Meeting was adjourned at 7:53 PM on motion by Ruth Wilkinson and second by Pat Cubbage.
