President Tom Kearns called the meeting to order at 8:40 a.m.

 

The Secretary’s Report for September was reviewed. Phyllis Ginzler made a motion to accept the report and Brian Douglass seconded it. The motion passed.

 

The Treasurer’s Report was then reviewed and discussed. If possible, at the end of the year, the treasurer will add to the Reserve Account depending on money available. Pam Ambrose, our Treasurer, recommended we think about putting in the third well now, before winter. It is being considered.

The Boardwalk out to the boat dock will be completed by fall. All capital improvement money for the docks will be spent. Brian Douglass made a motion to accept the Treasurer’s Report and Phyllis Ginzler seconded it. The motion passed.

 

Building Committee Report: Dan Weygandt reported that permits for a deck and a garage addition were submitted.

 

Dock Master: Fred reported that the boats are coming out by Monday October 8, 2007 and then the docks will be pulled out. By the end of October, canoes and kayaks should also be placed on the racks or picked up from the beach area by their owners.

 

Manager’s Report: Fred Fortier highlighted the summer events and projects including the addition of a rope railing and posts will be added to the boardwalk. A bench has been added on the boardwalk for enjoying the scenic view of the lake and mountain from the walkway. Brian Douglass made a motion to accept the Manager’s Report. Peter Silva seconded it. The motion passed.

 

It was also brought up that missing boat registrations will be addressed in the Spring.

 

Member Norma Gelles will be working on the declaration registration. The Board thanked Norma for her efforts on this project.

 

The updated section of the policy book will be sent out with the mailing for 2008 dues in the form of a sticker. Members should replace that section of the policy book by attaching the enclosed sticker.

 

Fall Projects: The docks will be pulled out and the new docks will be finished. Some water improvements will be made in the interior of the pump house. This includes the changes of switches. Money for this project, including the labor, will be covered under the budget. Interior and exterior painting of the Bullwinkle will be done as well. Fred continues to work on the signs around KHA. He will repair some and new signs will be added. The beach will store the docks for the winter andsigns will discourage snowmobiles from driving over them. Signs will be posted as well as a marked path.

 

In November, discussion will begin on the third well. We will know better then on how much money we have left in the budget to direct toward this third well.

 

Charlie Loverin asked if the Board will allow additional “Crime Watch”signs to be added in KHA. The cost per sign, around $35, would be installed by the town. But we must pay for them.

 

Fred is looking into software for the water system. This software will supply us with GPS for the water system. He is also working on a photo system for the shutoff locations. Currently our water consumption is about 55,000 gallons per day.

 

Phyllis Ginzler made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 9:15 a.m. Brian Douglass seconded it. The meeting adjourned.

 

Respectfully submitted:

Marilyn Salerno, Recording Clerk, KHA Board of Governors
