Some of the correspondences will be sent to Brian and Sharron’s address. The annual meeting will be held on July 20 as set by the by-laws. Rick has also volunteered to host bod meetings in the future.

Discussed ACCL (association of Cass County lakes) meetings. They were informative and we were represented at 4 of the 5 monthly meetings. We stated that we also purchased 2 AIS boat cleaning kits and installed them at the public access and Lake Haven resort grounds.

Discussed beaver control and water level issues. The trapper reported relocating 26 beaver again during this year and various activities with the beaver dam. Lloyd will secure another yearly contract with him to remove dams and beavers as needed. He is still doing a great job. We pay $850.00 per year. Scott reported that for varying reasons our water level is only down less than a foot this year which is great.

Discussed bod email and phone #s and it was decided to remove email addresses from both the blurb and the web site, People can call the board and we can share email as we see fit. This is to stop the possibility for hacking. The was a motion, seconded and passed. Scott has been doing a lot of work on the web site to update it and we thank him.

Becky commented that the fall blurb is almost done with Lloyd, Becky and Shannon to try to edit it before it goes to the printer.

There being no other business to address the meeting was adjourned at 9:40 and all is well.

Great job Shannon
