The President opened the meeting by welcoming the new Board members.
Election of Officers Paul Jermanus proposed and Frank Ducato seconded a motion to elect the following officers of OWL: President - Anita Grapentien Vice-President - Stan Lawrence Secretary - John Holmes Treasurer - Ray Howard The motion was approved unanimously. Paul Jermanus indicated his willingness to take the position of Treasurer next year if Ray Howard wishes to step down.
Minutes of the Previous Meeting Motion to approve by Ray Howard. Seconded by Bill Loughead. Approved unanimously.
Minutes of the May 22 AGM Minor corrections were incorporated. Doug Taylor asked that updates be included in parenthesis on an ongoing basis so that the status of open items will be clear to recipients of the minutes at the next AGM.
Treasurer’s Report Ray Howard reported that bank fees, equivalent to $31 over the last 4 months, will be waived in future if OWL retains a minimum of $3,000 in the checking account. The present total in the current account is $12,158.96. The savings account has not been used since the early 1990’s and has had inactive status for some time. In 1993, the account contained $465.41. Ray Howard provided the required forms for the Board to recover the money. Paul Jermanus proposed that the report be accepted. Seconded by Chuck Pendleton. Approved unanimously.
Sewer Update The project has been completed and it is now up to individual homeowners to contact contractors for the hookup. The Township has confirmed that it is not necessary to crush the sceptic lid. This is the final Board report on the new sewer system.

Committee Reports
Weed Control Anita will arrange additional spraying following information from the Board members about the need for such action
Dam The President still has not received confirmation from Andy Blystra that a new report on the Dam has been filed with the DEQ. Chuck Pendleton reported that one of the two trees requiring removal has been felled. The other will be removed in the Fall.
Water Quality No sampling has been done by the Joint Project Group and therefore it may be necessary to forego this season and start again in 2003. Doug Taylor indicated that he will continue to get samples for tests by Wally Fusilier so that we can measure the “before” and “after” effects of the sewer hookup. Frank Ducato and Bob Campbell will assist.
Old Business Chuck Pendleton explained how the SAD petitions had been distributed. Anita Grapentien agreed to check on the Pine Hotel petition which appeared to be missing. In response to a question, the President advised that the Township would pay for the SAD for the public access area if the owner (the DEQ) did not. It was confirmed that OWL will invite an attorney (ex-DEQ) to the September Board meeting at a cost of $500 for 2 hours to answer members’ questions. These questions should be submitted to John Holmes as soon as possible so that the attorney can have advance notification.
New Business Doug Taylor advised that the Brighton Township Master Plan will come up for a vote on June 20. The final revised level will be available for viewing at the Township offices on June 14. Doug had provided comments relative to lake concerns at the May 30 open public meeting and he provided a copy of his comments for Board members to read.
Next Meeting The next meeting will be held at the Brighton Township offices on July 10 at 7:30pm.
Adjournment Paul Jermanus proposed the motion to adjourn at 9:20pm. Bob Campbell seconded. Carried unanimously. Last modified: 12/05/03 16:58:20 -0800 |
