Presidents Report:

Minutes of the Annual Meeting were approved by the Board.

President solicited input from the Board on what feedback they had gotten following the annual meeting. General consensus was that the meeting went exceptionally well. The membership was pleased with the presentation and is in agreement with the way the Board is proceeding.

President noted that more discussion has taken place with Barrow’s on the sale of the Green Willow property. Asking price is still being negotiated.

The President had to excuse himself from the meeting at this point and V.P. Santin took over.

Treasurer’s Report:

In the absence of the Treasurer the President had distributed the Treasurer’s report. No discussion.

PWD Report:

The PWD noted that a recent cold spell resulted in ice collecting on Claibourne Road. A de-icer was applied to the area to improve safety. The PWD will be maintaining a supply of de-icer to combat this problem. In addition he will be installing some containers with sand and leaving that at the trouble spot for future needs. The PWD is still searching for a contractor that can correct the surface water problem in this area. The PWD informed the Board he received a request from a property owner to utilize the parking area at the boat ramp as a staging area for a dumpster. The dumpster would be used to contain the spoils from a dredging project at his house. Following discussion the Board determined that the potential liability, from various issues, makes this too risky for the community and denied the request.

Land Preservation Committee Report:

Director Hopkinson provided an update on the Land Preservation campaign.

Capital Campaign Committee Report:

Director Nicholson noted the need to continue pushing with the letter writing campaign. She informed the Board that the campaign has gathered support from only one-third of the property owner and greater penetration is needed. The house parties for the fund raising campaign are scheduled and will be held during January. The ultimate goal is to get 100% participation from the property owners.

New Business:

The Board briefly discussed filling vacant positions. It was noted that we have at least two willing and able volunteers at this time. The Board decided to table this issue until the full Board is present and also to allow time for further canvassing for candidates through the fund raising campaign.

The next meeting is scheduled for February 1^st. at the house of Steve Stroetzel.

Motion was made, seconded and approved to adjourn the meeting.

Donald Walsh

Secretary
