LAKESHORE COMPANY

The dam was inspected and Chris Backshall cut down all the excess vegetation.� The VSA dinner is scheduled for May 2^nd.� Rick will obtain a proposal to improve the monitoring of water levels in the tanks.� This may require the addition of a new electronic conduit to the tanks.� The Finance Committee is looking a long term projects such as replacing the water tanks, dredging, etc.

BEACHES AND DOCKS

The lake will be lowered approximately three feet to allow Chris Backshall to dredge below the diving board.� The fill will most likely be moved to the ball field.� The walls surrounding the beach are subject to erosion and the drainage issue will need to be resolved.� Beach clean-up is scheduled for Saturday, May 9.

GROUNDS

The tennis sub-committee is upgrading the tennis court and they need additional funds to complete the project.� The Board agreed that the courts were a community asset and the maintenance should be budgeted for and paid for by the residents, much like the beach or roads.� However, given that there is a dedicated group of users, these individuals would help contribute to the courts upkeep and improvement, much as other residents have made donations to the community.�

There are two dead trees on Trails End.� Rick will confirm that they are Lakeshore property and if so, Diane will get an estimate to remove them.

HOUSEKEEPING

Sara Churgin donated a fox painting that is now hanging in the clubhouse.� Upcoming rentals are as follows: Fraggiero � May 8^th, McCabe � June 6^th, Barrett � October 24^th.

CLUBHOUSE MAINTENANCE

The clubhouse passed its fire inspection.� Ceiling tiles were changed in the kitchen and Ray Neigele has agreed to help Bruce insulate the pipes.� Future projects under consideration include a wooden structure with doors and a cement footing for clubhouse garbage, pavers by the side steps and lighting around the garbage area.��
