The meeting was called to order at 7:27pm on boats in the middle of the lake. There were 18 people in attendance representing 12 households.

Bill Tregaskis motioned to accept the minutes as presented and Julie Kasa seconded.

The Treasurer’s report will be presented at the next meeting since the Treasurer was absent.

Julie K. said that the only suggestions for this year’s annual picnic she received were a block party, catering or a potluck. Julie K. said that she did like the catering that was done last year. Mary Leffler said to model the picnic after the Miller’s BBQ – everyone bring their own meat and a side to share. Julie K. suggested that the Lake Association buy all of the meat. Paul Johnson said that everyone should bring their own stuff. Bill Tregaskis said that he volunteered his property, but he didn’t accept the automatic nomination of being on the picnic committee as he won’t be able to attend. Jeanni Tregaskis has already ordered the biff per Julie K. Mary L., Angela Miller, Sue Brallier, Craig Kasa and Julie K. volunteered to be the members of 2005 Annual Picnic Committee. The answers to the proposed questions of a theme, to have a keg or not, and the time will all be decided by the Committee. Sue B. said that a flyer is a great idea – along with e-mail.

Sharyl Miller was not present to give a Hospitality Committee update. Mary L. said that she and Sharyl had discussed what the Committee did in the past. Everyone needs to let her know when someone new moves into the neighborhood, so she can get the “welcome” stuff to them. Plus, let her know when cards or flowers need to be sent on the behalf of the Lake Association.

Paul J. got a 4 foot clarity reading today as people were getting to the meeting. People gave their differing opinions as to whether this was a good or bad reading for the time of the year. Sue B. stated that last year her shortest reading was 5 ½ feet.

Craig K. relayed the thoughts of Mike Rydberg that another algae treatment should be done. Theresa Witstine mentioned that two had already been done – one on Father’s Day and one the day before the Fourth of July. Craig K. stated that it would take about 4 bags at $37.00 per 50lb bag. Bill T. motioned that another 4 bag treatment be completed. Frank Summers seconded that motion as Paul J. asked if it would take more than 4 bags. Sue B. motioned to do a treatment with as many bags as necessary. Frank S. seconded that motion as well.

The garbage group discount was brought up – more people wanted to be included in the discount, but they had forgot to respond to the e-mail. Dave Tabbut said that Angela M. should tell Onyx that if someone is a current customer then to continue the service at the new rates. Angela M. said that she would discuss that with Onyx, yet she questioned if an actual verbal OK needed to be given (the new rates may have voided any previous service contracts, thus new ones had to be made).

Bill T. said that a new hunting season should be opened – Bass Fishermen who hook pontoons. After several suggestions of ways to “catch” the perpetrators, Bruce Biederman suggested that next year’s Lake Association President should take on the project of getting the public landing closed.

Scott Pearson brought up the outcome of the previous Rockford Township meeting regarding the pavement project of Halsey Avenue. He said that the latest proposal was that only Halsey Avenue would be paved and at a cost of $5,000.00 instead of $10,000.00. Bill T. and Theresa W. said that Ninth Street would also be assessed.

Julie K. mentioned that everyone should start thinking about new officers since the election is scheduled for the September meeting. It was clarified that Vicky Rydberg was elected to be the Treasurer for the next term as well as the interim of this year.

Bill T. motioned to adjourn at 7:58pm. Frank S. seconded.
