Old Business

·   Meeting minutes were accepted from July and August

·   Treasures report was accepted for August.

·   “No Fishing” signs have been put in place. Signs look great and nobody has been seen fishing from the beach or the dam.

·   Boat stickers- People are not asking for them, but many residents still have the 22 stickers on their boats. Regina states that she will continue to help pass them out if needed.

·   Dock specs- there is still no final decision on what the size of the docks can be. Hoping to put together a panel that will work diligently over the winter to get this information ready for next season.

·   Sale of land on Lakeshore and Pelletier, no one has reach out wanted to buy the land.

New Business

·   Beach repair- beach was damaged due to heavy rain. Looking for a new beach maintenance company. Tyler Bish sold his landscaping company, who was handling the beach maintenance.

I have also attached a few other prices for different companies. Look at your bills and see what you are being charged. You can do a google search and see what the going rates are. Make sure you look at the contract to see how long the price is good for and if there is a cancellation fee. Many companies will let you call up and get a lower price if there is one after you sign up.
