Minutes: Motion to approve May minutes. Chrissy/Ed motion passed

Approval of Agenda: Shawn/Chrissy. Motion passed

 

Lake Health: Andy Teal gave a seminar for Shoreline Monitoring. Volunteer hours for shoreline monitoring count for grants. Nancy went to this and will reach out to Andy for information to share. Island Lake still needs boat landing monitors. You can sign up on the Town Website. Shawn is hopeful that the plan for milfoil for Breakfast Lake will be ready by July 4th and will include chemical treatment. There would be no grant funds for treatment this year. PPOA could pay for the treatment and seek reimbursement.

Common Facilities: There is a problem with missing toilet paper. Dennis could make toilet paper holders with locks. He will start with 3 holders. We are also going through a lot of paper towels. If anyone has clean towels they could donate, we could provide them as dish towels. Nancy suggested only providing 1 roll of toilet paper and 1 roll of towels and just state this in the contract. Someone is bringing their household garbage to the Wanigan. Cameras and signage will maybe help with this. Bob has been emptying garbage at the beach. Wade and Rick have mowed. Ed fixed the lodge windows. At some point PPOA will have to pay someone to do these things if we don’t get more volunteers. Rick would like to set JULY 21-23 for pressure washing and staining the Lakeview, Caretaker and Lodge. He will have to rent a scissor lift and will check with Wade to operate this.

Administrator, Website and Rentals: We need a map of the sites at the campground, so people know where they are renting. You cannot rent if your assessments aren’t paid. If your rental is not paid within 10 days your rental dates will be canceled. The PPOA sponsor should write the rental check. Bob passed out weekly maintenance checklist sheets. They will be kept at the office and could be used when anyone walks and checks on things. Chrissy does the checking in and out of renters. We need a checklist, so the process stays the same when she is not available.

Financial Information: Rick is still working on the insurance (board of director, umbrella and property). He sent out dues’ reminders. He did get some response from these notices. As of June 25, the checking balance $37,254.47. The savings balance is $104,836.78. Hunt Electric should be paying the $3,900 from the campground rental last year. The 2nd half of the real estate taxes are due in July. We did have to buy a new lawn mower. A motion was made by Shawn/Bob to accept the treasure’s report. Motion passed.

Firewise: The cost for chipping was $6,600. It took 3 days and there were 9 truckloads of chips. If we do a fall chipping PPOA would have to pay for most of this. Firewise or the town fire truck are not available in July for a picnic. Perhaps we could combine this with the annual meeting. This will be sometime in August. We are trying to find a date that works for the board members.

The next meeting will be Thursday July 16 at 10 am at the Wanigan

Rick suggested that we earmark donations for a project. This year it will be for the cost of staining the cabins.

Adjournment: A motion was made Rick/Bob to adjourn the meeting. Motion passed. Meeting adjourned at
