BEACHES AND DOCKS- d.kuhn15@yahoo.com

Old east dock has been dragged to fire lane and hauled away.Thanks to Terry Dwyer, Mark Qualben and Don Kuhn.

 

The dredging will be done by H.W. Alward at a cost of $14,457 and included in the current year's budget.Regarding restoration of the bank on the intake end of the lagoon, Paul Fox had proposed a natural stone wall.When stone of the type recommended was unavailable, H.W. Alward proposed using Redi-rock, a cast stone product.The cost, however, was prohibitive ($44,180).Also involved in Fox's proposal were other costs: paving and 60' of asphalt curbing ($3865 and $1575) to direct water to a storm sewer ($4582) and the addition of a guardrail ($2200).As an alternative, Don inquired about the cost of rebuilding the bank with rip-rap.Alward quoted $11,878.The Board agreed that the work should proceed as an emergency repair while the lagoon is drained and dredged and that the cost will be covered by anticipated under runs in the budget.Further, Austin and Don will meet with Alward to review this approach in greater detail.

OTHER BUSINESS

        Suggestion by President Godfrey � The Treasurer�s recordkeeping should be checked by non-board members again.For discussion, should we put this in the by-laws as �must be done� as opposed to board option?Would we need a bylaw change?Board supports that the concept of a formal, yearly review process should be discussed further to ensure the appropriate level of oversight for the community.
