            $960 deposited in May for dues, $380 paid for water testing and mailing.  Currently there are 112 paid members.  Similar numbers to last year at this time.

 

Committee Reports:

A.    Water Quality –

1.      Team did some sampling.  Total Phosphorus is lower on the first reading.  This is good and maybe we will see fewer weeds this year.  Chlorophyll A (alge) is lower too.  Secchi disk average so far is 26ft.  The team will focus on sampling the lake at least 2 times per month.

B.     Events –

1        June 10 Social – Potluck will be at Knapper’s – Dan will bring the paper products.  Be there about 5:30 to help set up.  At 6:00 we will eat and socialize.  Candy will be bagged for the 4th of July parade near the end).

2        4th of July Parade – Prizes – 3 (kids friendly, patriotic and creative) Dave will spend $100 for the 3 prizes.  Dan will buy the candy and bags for the 4th of July parade (12 large bags of candy and enough baggies to put 6-8 pieces per bag).  We will not be using number to identify boats this year. 

C.     Membership – 

1        112 members so far.  Statements were sent it May.  1 was returned, Dan has resent to new address.

D.    Newsletter –

1        Proof the copy in July and then send.  Print Masters is much cheaper then Baker.  Quality also is better.  Eric made a motion to do printing with Print Masters for the July newsletter.  Dave seconded it.  Discussion that Speedy Print owner lives on the lake.  Bill will talk to him and Glen will email him for a bid and a sample to compare quality.

 

Old Business:

A.    No Dumping Signs – $25 each for 2 of them.  1 will go in SE corner and 1 near Tepfers’ cabin.  They need posts.  Glen can probably get some and Erik volunteered to help install the posts.

B.     Water Testing Funds – Glen has already submitted the request.

C.     Eagle Lake T-shirt’s – Shirts are about $7 each.  Bill motioned to order 40 shirts in various sizes in a light blue with yellow lettering.  Seconded by Dave.  Discussion about getting stuck with some sizes.  Sell for $10 each.  Logo will be the same as the flags (on the back of t-shirt) with saying Life is Great at Eagle Lake above the logo.  Took orders for specific sizes for board members.  Motion passes. 

D.    Diving Tower – Marly didn’t talk to the sheriff yet, but he will.  Dave Holmquist told Marly to speak directly to the sheriff’s office.

 

 New Business:

A.     Welcome Boat – Someone interested in buying on N Eagle Rd called to inquire about sewer.

B.     Dovre Township Trail in SW corner of Lake (by outlet) – Norm talked to Harry Fenstra about liability insurance and it would add $135 to our current policy to cover the 660 ft of trail.  People who maintain the trail are actually those responsible to pay for it, not the board.  Tammy motioned to not provide liability insurance for the 660ft of trail on the SE corner of the lake.  Glen seconded it.  Motion passed.

C.     South End Order issue – Glen received communication from Abram’s and Mary Beth Nehl about the smell and weeds on the lake.  Glen checked out the south end and there is moss, floating algae and it stinks.  This has been an issue all around the lake aver the past couple of years.  Glen will ask residents for a sample to take to the DNR for evaluation and then a course of action.

 

Meeting Adjourned: 

            Motion to adjourn at 9:19PM by Dave.  Second by Bill.

 

Next Meeting:  Marly Tebben’s on Wednesday, July 8 at 7:00

 

Respectfully submitted,

Tammy Knapper, Secretary
