Call To Order:

Review of Previous Meeting Minutes:

The minutes of the May meeting were distributed at the meeting. Bodo asked if there were any additions or corrections to be made.

>Motion was made by Linda to accept the minutes, seconded by Richard. Motion passed.

Treasurer’s Report:

Linda distributed a written report at the meeting for the month of June.

>Motion was made by Richard to accept the report, seconded by Yvette. Motion passed.

Bottle Drive:

Total funds collected for the bottle and can drive are as follows. The North side of the lake collected $214 and the South side collected $248 for a total of $462.00.

The amount was not too bad, but a 2nd flyer might possibly have helped. The returns were made at Krogers and VG’s. Yvette found that the managers needed to be contacted more ahead of time. There was another group making returns at Farmer Jack so we were not granted permission to use their facility for the same time.

Garage Sale:

The ad that was run on Friday and Saturday might have served us better if it had been run on Thursday and Friday. Also, comments were heard around the neighborhood that it was held too early in the year. Suggestion was made to ask for suggestions in the next newsletter with regard to the date of the garage sale for next year.

Halloween Party:

Hiring a band was not a successful endeavor. We looked at our current DJ options. Donard is not available for that evening. Bodo has a contact at work who DJ’s events.

>Motion was made to book Ronnie and Lonnie Pinnoc as DJ’s for the Halloween party. Motion was made by Yvette and seconded by Richard. Motion passed.

Sewers:

A notice of intent to sell bonds was published in the Spinal Column. This is a formality required by law. We are currently #1 on the list for the State Revolving Funds. There will be a public information hearing on July 10th. Everyone will be notified by mail about the meeting. It will be held at the Dublin Senior Center.

If we are approved for the funds, plans and specs would be updated within 2 weeks, bids would open on June 30th and read at the end of July. The contract would be awarded at the end of Sept. and work would begin at the end of Oct.

If bids are 10% higher than original estimate, we start all over. The engineers expect that this will not happen because science has made the work easier and more cost effective.

The State Funds will not cover connecting the house to the grinder pump. It is the homeowners responsibility.

>Motion was made by Yvette to move the meeting from July 9 to July 16 at Karolyn’s house, seconded by Guido. Motion passed.

Luau:

The Luau and boat parade are set for July 20 and 21. The prizes for the boat parade are as follows:

Most Lights $50

Best Theme $50

Most Original $50

>Motion was made by Linda to use $150 for the 3 prizes, seconded by Gary. Motion passed.

The judges will be named at the July meeting. We are currently waiting for the permit.

Once again we will be providing chicken and hot dogs. The flyers should go out 2 weeks from now and a week prior to the Luau. Yvette will purchase the items for give aways for kids and adults. We will get McDonalds for the drink.

>Motion was made by Yvette to approve funds for paper to run the flyers, seconded by Linda. Motion passed.

MOU:

No Update.

New Business:

1. It was brought to our attention the boundary marker for the Volleyball net at the island is in need of repair. It was suggested that we provide floaters for the net.

>Motion was made by Yvette to purchase floats and rope not to exceed $50. Motion seconded by Karolyn. Motion passed.

4. June 25th at the Dublin Center at 7 pm there will be a Well water and Septic maintenance workshop.

5. On Bonnie Briar and Buckingham, 2 people have applied for permits to put in sea walls, according to MI Lakes and Streams.

Weed Harvest Update:

People are beginning to ask what is going on with the weed harvesting. As far as Yvette could report from copies of their latest minutes, they have selected a contractor and work should begin within the next couple weeks. They are still looking for a lake manager to go between the weed harvesting board and the contractor. At present, there is no permit in place to apply chemicals.

Next Meeting:

The next meeting will be Tuesday, July 16, at Karolyn Phaneuf’s House (1994 Kingston).

Adjournment:

Motion was made to adjourn.

Respectfully submitted,

Yvette Latimer, Secretary
