Annual Club Meeting Minutes - May 18, 201118 households represented; 10 proxiesPresident, Perry England, welcomed everyone and introduced the current Board members. Mike DeGooyer is moving, so nominations for his replacement were made from the floor. Merrilee nominated Jody Kennett. Scott Pollock and Denice Malone were both willing to be on the Board. A motion to have all three on the Board passed unanimously. Financial Report: Merrilee reported our income total was $16,534.65 and expenses $16,786.64 (see a complete listing). Brief discussion regarding gardeners: Choice Gardens remains our lawn maintenance company with high quality results and reliable access to Dennis Bortko’s private driveway. An explanation was given for the expenses of clean up/security – it is to ensure that all items left out daily by patrons are properly returned and that malicious activity is promptly discovered. Our neighbors at 2450, Agnes Barazs and Scott Rennie, have offered to help us prevent trespassers and vandalism. They encouraged a security camera and security lighting, using their electricity if necessary. They have also offered to be first responders to emergencies. Dr. Scott Rennie can be reached at 425-301-4173 after calling 911. A power point presentation was shown with pictures detailing the improvements and accomplishments for the year. It was mentioned that the boats are locked up for winter security, but will be individually locked, and the key is in the bathhouse. Access and clean up /return of the boats, oars and life vests will be monitored. A brief discussion was held regarding the need to block vandals from jumping the fence. Their main access has been blocked with a new fence, but another potential problem area will be to the north. This will be a priority item. Other potential repairs and improvements would be: Lights on pathway, security light at gate & security camera Sign stating boat rules and Beach Club hours Trees – more thinning is necessary Stain deck rails Clean & repair steps to grassy area & sandy area Repair retaining wall Purchase new BBQ Remove graffiti off entry fence Recommendation: paint picnic table base and paint header on tunnel entrance Bathrooms need attention Additional chairs and a bench Beautification: plantings Establish a work party to 1) clean out sheds & dismantle one, 2) power wash playhouse, patio, deck & watercraft and 3) clean up brambles by tunnel entrance Items prioritized were: Security lighting - yes Boat & hours signage - yes Video surveillance camera - no Securing fence on north side - yes Additional chair/seating - no Swim area demarcations - yes Gas BBQ grill - yes Repair beachfront retaining wall - yes Repair pickets and stain deck railing - yes Repair steps to grassy area and sandy area – yes Annual dues: The Board had agreed to hold the amount of $140 dues collected to a maximum of 2 years; therefore, they recommended $120 for the current year.
