MEMBERSHIP MEETING
The last membership meeting was held at Hankerd Hills on May 20th. Many topics were reported to the membership;
- Sewers around the lake were reviewed by Township Supervisor Larry Bamm. The engineer could not make the meeting. An “Exploritory Committee” was formed previously from seven interested persons who live in Henrietta township and they have been meeting once a month in the Township Office on the third Wednesday of the month beginning at 6PM to work out a sewer district. This group directed the Engineer to Develop a system based on the Pressure System (least costly/most efficient system). The group directed the Engineer cost out a system that would include the Pleasant Lake are (on its own), Battisse Lake are (on its own), White Lake area (on its own) and all the above combined. Cost would be approximately $10,000 per resident (or less).
Spread over 20 years – about $500 annually. $800 - $1200 to hook up the Grinder pump if you have a 100 amp or larger electrical service.

- Deputy Walter Luck of the Jackson County Sheriffs Marine Division covered many boating safety issues. Most all items are on the Water Safety page but he brought up an additional one. All water craft that have enclosed fuel tanks (built in) or closed compartments where flammable fumes may accumulate MUST carry a USCG approved Class “B” fire extinguisher. This includes PWC’s, Pontoon Boats, and Speed Boats. He also went over the 100 foot rule which states that any craft going faster than SLOW NO WAKE SPEED must stay 100 Feet from a dock, moored or anchored vessel, a person in the water, or a marked or occupied swimming area. A person pulling/towing someone behind a watercraft on skiis, a tube, or wake board is responsible to see that the person being towed also maintains 100 feet distance from other objects in the water. PWC’s manage to get about 65% of the tickets issued on the water. The Sheriff’s Department has Boating safety classes scheduled. To enroll call 517 768 7921 There are two classes scheduled for June. They are NOT on the DNR website.
- There were 240 newsletters mailed the week of May 14th and 55 of them came back due to wrong addresses or NO MAIL RECEPTACLE. Make sure we have your correct mailing address and E mail address.
