President Tom Kearns opened the meeting at 8:32 a.m.

 

Secretary’s Report: The amended minutes of the December meeting were reviewed. Tom Tanner made a motion to accept the amended minutes and Brian Douglass seconded it. The minutes were accepted.

 

Treasurer’ Report: Pam Ambrose reported that KHA is getting ready for the end of the year balances. We keep floating funds to cover our

expenses until the 2008 dues come in on March 1, 2008.

The audit from the accountant will happen soon and we will file our taxes on time. Brian Douglass made a motion to accept the treasurer’s report and Phyllis Ginzler seconded it. The report was accepted.

 

Building Committee: Dan Weygandt thanked Fred and Brian for the

help during his recent illness. Two properties are having work completed on them and two approved permits were accepted.

 

Manager’s Report: Fred Fortier reported that the third well is 380 feet deep and had a yield of 40 gallons per minute. The well is not yet hooked up but will be as of Jan. 9th 2008. Fred will also do a nitrate test on the water before it is put into use. The well is paid in full but there maybe a need for one and half day’s work on the electric system. Some additional work will be completed by Jack Kosta.

Fred reported that the water system is in much better shape than a year ago. But he will continue to improve the wells. One needs to be deeper and the 2008-09 goals will include that work.

Fred will work on flushing the hydrants. The fire hydrants were laid out 40 years ago and some are dry hydrants that use lake water. All will be flushed out.

Some freeze ups have happened and there is a small leak on Knights Hill Road that will be fixed in the coming week. There was large usage the week after Christmas.

Receivables are at 99.2 % with one owner on a payment plan. The 2008 dues invoices are coming out next week.

New owners now receive a KHA welcome packet from Fred.

Pam Ambrose made a motion to accept the Manager’s Report. Brian

Douglass seconded it. The motion passed.

 

Old Business: Two members asked about the house being build on

Fox Crossing. The builder was granted an extension for completion of

the house.

An old car was removed from KHA.

Our line of credit is still pending.

 

New Business: Proposed projects for KHA 2008-2009 were presented by Pam Ambrose. Items on the list are things that should be considered for future improvement and maintenance.

A new member asked if Shawnee Peak gives KHA owners a discount. Fred is working on something with Shawnee Peak for the 2009 season. We hope to have a KHA discount next year.

FYI: Depth maps of the lake are available from the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and from some local stores.

The next scheduled meeting of the Board of Governors is Feb. 2, 2008, at 8:30 a.m. at the Bullwinkle, KHA beach. All members are welcome.
