Presidents Report -
Membership list – Treasurer LuAnn Fuller reported that as of March 8 the Lake Association has 217 members. This is the result of only one month of 2007 membership drive Business Expo – Dave reported that the Council Grove Business Expo will take place on March 31. The Lake Association will have a booth and all who would like to participate are welcome. Committee Reports – Green Thumb – Bill and Jane Swofford requested funding for plants around the Entrance signs to the lake. Last year $642 was spent for this visible improvement to the lake. Lake Association unanimously approved this expenditure. Dave also called for volunteers to help the Swoffords plant and maintain these areas. Master Plan update – Curt Brungardt announced that an annual progress report will be made available sometime in April or May on the progress of implementing the Master Plan which was developed last year. New Business – Dave announced that yet another caretaker has resigned. There were questions concerning what role the Lake Association plays in selecting the caretaker. Dave explained that the Association is not involved. The City has sole responsibility for hiring and supervising the caretaker. A matter of representation of part time resident to full time residents was brought up. A show of hands indicated about a 50-50 ratio was present at this meeting Special Commission Report – Dave Baker, Dave Fritchen, Charlie Busch, and Curt Brungardt explained the overall strategy of the Commission in terms of the overall goals of self-governance and financial stability. Specifically, the recent compromise proposal being discussed by the Special Commission was explained. This current proposal calls for lake homeowners to reimburse the city one-half of the survey costs to plat every lot at the lake. In return the City would grant a permanent easement for each homeowner. Lake representatives to the Special Commission asked for authorization to move forward with this idea. All members in attendance (approximately 85) voted in favor of this compromise proposal and encouraged our representatives to present it to the city council. Members asked the leadership of the Lake Association to keep them updated on this issue through email and the web site. The Secretary was unable to attend this meeting due to a death in the family. These minutes are a compilation of notes taken by Alice Forester and Christie Brungardt. My thanks to Alice and Christie. Andy Hutter |
