Lake Martha Lake Association

Meeting Minutes

Monday, May 12, 2003

The meeting was called to order at 7:16pm at the home of Joy Morris – 779 Hansack Ave SE.  There were 14 members in attendance. 

The minutes from the September 16th and the February 21st meetings were accepted as written.

Several Amendments to the Bylaws were approved.  Lake Association officer elections will be held every two years – Frank Forsberg motioned & John Witstine seconded.  The Treasurer has a maximum writing authority of $100.00 – Rosie Tabbut motioned & Carole Pearson seconded.  The Board of Directors will meet annually before the start of each season and special BOD meetings will be called on an as needed basis – Mike Rydberg motioned & Sara Forsberg seconded.  The agenda of the next meeting will be determined during the Lake Association meeting – Mike Rydberg motioned & Sara Forsberg seconded.  Special meeting notification will be “delivered” by any plausible means – Dave Tabbut motioned & Frank Forsberg seconded.  The Lake Association will meet on a monthly basis during the months of April through September, with a winter meeting schedule as necessary – Sara Forsberg motioned & Frank Summers seconded.  The Lake Association will Incorporate (again) & the Registered Agent will be the Secretary’s address – Frank Summers motioned & Joy Morris seconded. 

Joy Morris reported the account activities over the winter were accumulated interest, Hospitality Committee payouts, payment of the DNR weed treatment permit, & deposit of dues.  Thus, the checking and savings accounts have a total of $1,478.60.  Joy also explained her system of collecting the Association Annual Dues.  Frank Summers suggested raising the dues and billing the members – 1996 was the last time of increase.  Mike Rydberg said not to raise the amount of the dues and that a bill may offend those that haven’t been active members.  Dave Tabbut said that he felt it was ok to notify all residents by e-mail of the dues.  Miles Olson is - and has been for many years - a member, but pays no dues because of storing the cutterboats.

Bill Tregaskis proposed a Lake Association Directory be created, much like the one of Lake Charlotte.  Joy Morris and Rosie Tabbut brought up the fact that privacy may be an issue against the directory itself or may limit participation in it.  Angela Miller and Joy Morris will start a subcommittee for this project.  Frank Forsberg suggested that a map of the lake should be included in the Directory.

Sara Forsberg reported that a going away party was held for the Cooleys.  Also, flowers were sent to Frank Summers and Bruce Biederman for surgeries.

Mike Ryberg and Jeannie Tregaskis were on the Communication Committee.  Bill Tregaskis stated that the committee hasn’t done anything for a while and that it will be re-organized when needed.

Recommendations on what to do with the cutterboats will be presented at the next meeting by Bruce Biederman.  Mike Rydberg suggested that one of the cutterboat committee members go to the Forsberg’s property to pick up a trailer and any parts that are remaining from the past 20 years.

Mike Rydberg mentioned that he and Kevin Potter attended the March Town meeting.  It was mentioned that side streets of Halsey have to pay 50% for it to be paved – Kevin Potter will get signatures from those effected.  Tom Kelley and others went around and looked at the roads around Lake Martha during a special Town meeting.  John Witstine asked if all of 9th street would have to be paved.  The Town has spent all of its money to have Farmington paved.

The Lake Martha Annual Picnic will be scheduled for the August 16th, with the 23rd as an alternate due to weather.  Volunteers to be on a subcommittee will be determined at the next meeting.

Dave Tabbut brought up the fact that Wright-Hennepin has a fiber-optic line along Hwy 33 that goes into Maple Grove.  If several people are interested, they may bring in cable and a DSL.

Mike Rydberg asked if anyone would be interested in taking over the website – maybe as an internship.  Frank Summers asked if the high school does any projects such as this.  Bill Tregaskis suggested a youth club of the Lake Association.

Frank Summers motioned and Carole Pearson seconded a budget of up to $100.00 for the Lake garage sale.  Rosie Tabbut and Sue Brallier will help Angela Miller with signs.

Mike Rydberg mentioned that the Lake was sprayed today and that people have 15 days to call Midwest Aqua Care for a re-do.  Mike also said that the signs said that copper sulfate was also sprayed for algae control, which we did not contract for, so he will contact Midwest Aqua Care for clarification.  Property line marking was suggested for next year.

A noise issue and a weed infestation issue with the water plane on the Lake were e-mailed to Angela Miller as Secretary.  The Association was in unanimous agreement that the Association should not take a stance on such an issue.

Angela Miller will send letters to Lawn Care Companies for bids on a group rate and then send an e-mail to all residents for interest.

Mike Rydberg motioned to adjourn the meeting.  Frank Forsberg seconded the motion.  The meeting adjourned at 8:44pm.
