Water Quality/Sewer Feasibility Study: The Q & A intended to answer the most frequent questions expected to be asked regarding a possible sewer project was distributed and reviewed question by question for clarity and understanding. Prior to the review Chuck and Doug reported on their attendance at a meeting at the Fabius Township hall in St. Joseph County.
The Fabius Township meeting was organized to allow presentation of alternative ideas for sewage treatment that fell between conventional individual home septic systems and full scale sewer systems. Because of the several alternative possibilities discussed, a meeting was being set up with Bill Johnson of the Paw Paw Township board to discuss these possible alternatives and encourage consideration of those alternatives before any further progress is taken on the sewer feasibility study. Chuck Cubbage and Doug Dorgan are expecting to attend that meeting.
Considerable discussion followed regarding the several alternatives and then additional discussion followed each Q & A read and reviewed. In some cases new questions arose and were duly noted and recommendation’s for clarification were considered and also noted. Possible modifications that would be needed should alternative systems be introduced were also discussed.
Newsletter: Copies of a draft of the proposed newsletter were passed around and reviewed by those in attendance; following a few questions it appeared to be acceptable to the Board members. No vote was deemed necessary to go forward with the newsletter.
Nominating: No report was necessary.
Old Business: Gary Sargent advised that John Tapper had agreed to provide all the food for the Annual Meeting Breakfast in exchange for paid Lake Association dues on behalf of himself and his two sons’ with property on the lake. All agreed this was a fair arrangement. Gary will coordinate with John for the supplies necessary for the breakfast. Because John had asked that we provide the coffee and juice, Pat Cubbage will coordinate the providing of these items along with a large coffee urn. It was agreed the rental of a large tent and/or amplification system was an unnecessary expense.
New Business: None
Next Meeting Date: The next meeting of the Board is scheduled for June 12, 2007 at the Conference Center. No further meetings were expected to be held during the summer unless necessary because of the sewage service issue. Arrangements for a regular meeting on September 11th will be made by the Secretary.

Doug Dorgan, Secretary
