Saturday, August 19, 2006

The meeting was called to order at 1:51pm at the home of Lance & Pam Scott – 7282 9^th Street SE. There were 7 people in attendance representing 6 households.

The comment that the algae has been under control this year was made. Pam Scott said that there have not been any of the beads, just the stringy stuff. John Witstine commented that this has been the best year so far. Sue Brallier stated that there are more weeds from her dock to her floating dock this year, but that it is not curly leaf. Craig Kasa said that it is coon tail taking over with less curly leaf in the lake. Craig K. mentioned that Tom with MidWest Aqua Care would join the winter meeting.

The minutes from the July meeting were accepted as written.

Angela Miller presented the treasurer’s report as Vicky Rydberg was catering the Lake Association Picnic - it was accepted. The balances of the checking and savings accounts as of August 19, 2006, were $343.56 and $445.09, respectively.

Mary Leffler received a card for the passing of her father. Pam Scott had received a card in May for the passing of her father as well.

The last two secchi disk readings that Jim Miller took were 3.5 feet and 4.0 feet earlier this week.

Last Friday night the rest of the copper sulfate was added to the lake. John W. said that there would not be a need to do any more applications this year as it has been cooler. Craig K. stated that Tom with MidWest Aqua Care said that he would arrange his extensive winter vacations around our winter meeting. It was decided that mid-February would be the best time. As President, Craig K. will choose a date for that meeting and contact Tom for confirmation.

It was mentioned that Viola bought Onyx. Pam S. said that it is a good idea to get one garbage company to service the area on one day. Sue B. and Angela M. agreed. Mike Rydberg suggested Randy’s, since it is a local company. Craig will contact Randy’s again.

Lance Scott said to increase the Association dues to $40 or $50. Craig K. suggested an “Associate” membership at a cheaper price - such as $25, for those residents not directly on the lake. Pam S. said that the DNR was contemplating a $5 fee to launch or park on a public access. However, she thinks that they added it to the fishing permit fee. Lance S. asked about signing a petition to close the public landing. Sue B. felt that it would not happen, as the lakes belong to the State. John W. said that he had seen a towing sign at a lake and maybe we could get one of those put by the landing.

The road paving is moving forward. Mike R. said that the gully is a separate issue from the road paving. Mike R. also said that the cost would be split between 105 homes. He mentioned that there is a pre-construction meeting scheduled on Tuesday, August 22^nd. A 120 day bid was awarded to Buffalo Bituminous.

Craig K. stated that the DSL guy finally called him back and said that Qwest said no go right now and at this time nothing would be available until 2007. He did tell Craig K. that 30 names (instead of the 12 he originally requested) would be a slam dunk. Craig K. suggested for everyone to continue going to the website requesting the service.

Sue B. motioned to adjourn at 2:24pm. Lance S. seconded.
