Meeting was called to order by
President, Austin Godfrey (aegodfrey@verizon.net), at 7:35PM.
HOUSEKEEPING -joyce@jjmurray.us. No report this
month.
CLUBHOUSE MAINTENANCE-Bincomm@verizon.net
Leaders and gutters were
replaced. Ludlow looked at the furnace and said it is in fine condition.
WATER SYSTEM-ribarrett@aol.com –
The VSA diner is May 5th the board
members and a guest are invited as well as the volunteers and their guest.
Highland water put a new meter in Pump house
one and replaced many of the rusted pipes. This was necessary because the DEP
requires recalibration every 5 years and Pump house 1 could no longer be
recalibrated. Pump house 2 is OK.
Jim Irving volunteered to
clean up the pump houses with an assistant. He installed 2 new fluorescents and
got rid of a lot of junk.
Highland looked at the end
of the horizontal tank where the valves are. The leaks are not severe and may
possibly be sealed from the
outside. If not the tank will have to be
drained and fixed from the inside. This will need to be addressed in the next
few years if the leak gets worse.
Rick is trying to find
someone to look at the valves in the dam which are original (1950’s). Did find
someone who is also a frog man to evaluate for $1,500, and Highland will give a
quote.
The DEP is requesting old
documents. Chris found well permits for 1 and 2 and a description of well 3
(which we are not using). The primary is well 2. We have invited Max to attend
the dinner and to do a training session.
GROUNDS: diane_bonar@acordia.com –
Grounds
reports that a bid has been accepted from Action Tree to cut down several dead
trees that present a danger to people walking around the breeder pond. They
will also do a general cleanup in the breeder pond area due to damage from the
Halloween storm which includes pulling a tree and other debris from the breeder
pond.
Diane
also reports that a cleanup of several community lots was made in February due
to that same storm. There will be at least a one or two day cleanup before the
community is generally back to where it was before the storm. She and John
Murray have been working on cleaning up the breeder pond spillway.
BEACHES AND DOCKS- 1ruth.chaney@gmail.com
The lake will be lowered
April 1st . Ruth will speak to Chris Allen about starting the
process on the 29th due to Easter.
Ruth will try to get someone
to work on the spillway while the lake is lowered, we need to fill in some
cracks in the spillway.
We would like to have a mini
beach clean- up while the water is lowered and
have someone come put the sand back up on the beach. Tim suggested that
the leaves be taken away first.
The muskrat man came this weekend; we only
have two more weeks; there is a nest over by Manser’s property.
One of the floats has moved.
They should be tethered to ground at bottom of lake and one point on the
ground. Two tethers on the ground when there is a storm. Last year they were
all repositioned.
The Full Beach Clean up will
be May 12 with a rain date the 19th.
