First, our apologies for any confusion or misunderstanding to anyone expecting a formal Board Meeting last weekend. It was proposed at the annual meeting in 2021 by the board to try and conduct island business with a couple less meetings (if possible.) We are trying this out in 2022 and July was one of the months to not meet formally. *The By-Laws state we only need to have our one annual meeting, but historically, there was one meeting a month through the summer months.
The Board is committed to a high level of transparency and communication. If there are member concerns or needs, definitely bring it the board’s attention to be addressed. If there is not a meeting scheduled, in this day & age, we can quickly convene if necessary, (even through Zoom if necessary).
Agenda Items from June Meeting—Follow Up
- Josh received feedback from our independent road consultant, Kluesner Construction of Farley.
- The findings are:
1. Our road is in great shape.
2. In this heat, please drive vehicles on the shoulders to pack in loose rocks to the underlying tar.
3. Brooming the road would be best to do in October. (if at all)- Doing so will be costly and may jeopardize the integrity of the road.
- It is not recommended by Kluesner, but they will do so, if we request the service.
- A couple of nuisance letters will be issued for unkempt, overgrown properties.
- Remember to keep your low hanging tree branches & shrubs out of the roadway but cutting them back for open lines of sight.
- Jane is finalizing with our Island attorney a Verified Claim to keep our Restrictive Covenants updated.
- We’ve noticed more usage of the island vehicle placards and cart stickers. Great Job! Keep it up! If you are new and still need your placards/sticker, contact Cindy Lynch (Treasurer)
- The island dock was repaired (tube was leaking) and put in place and the handicap ramp/walkway put in place! Again huge thanks to Tom Nagel and Buc Lampe.
- Great volunteer effort by members to sort and clean the cans for redemption! Again, we are still seeing black trash bags and trash! No, No! Only use the CLEAR plastic bags provided at the drop off site! (Can corral side of assoc bldg.)
- Our Board computer was in the shop for some service and updates. Hopefully some new updates & functionalities coming.
As always, please let Jane or Josh know if you need anything, have questions, or items that need to be addressed or addedd to the agenda at our next scheduled meeting, August 20th, 8am.
Thank you to everyone for working together to make our island community a special place to be!
