RENTALS:

A couple more rentals have received notices that rentals are against deed restrictions.  Three more have agreed to discontinue that business.  No one resisted so no judgement was needed. One short term rental house is up for sale.  Others will be or have been notified to stop renting.  Potentially we will address a couple rentals at a time and should be done by Spring next year.

TRAILERS:

Owners were told to take trailers off the lake by a judge’s decree and are in violation of a court order.  Trailers will be the next issue the board will address.

NEW BUSINESS:

There was discussion about mapping the lake with problem areas.  The spray company said they could do it for an unknown fee.

A copy of the Welcome Package was given to Doug Whittler to spruce up and make it more attractive to new owners.

Next meeting will be on September 14th at 9:00.  At 11:15, Kevin made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Jerry seconded the motion. All agreed and the meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully Submitted,
