Secretary’s Report: approved as submitted

Treasurer’s Report: calculated balance matches balance on bank statement. Bills submitted include electric, sanitation, post office box, and sign for new campsite ($260.00).

Much discussion was had on lake shore repair and the Environmental Trust Fund Grant. President Wadas will communicate with Roger Frahm regarding the cost of digging “fingers” in the berm extending into the lake and hauling the material to the new campsite vs. moving the berm at the river landing onto the campsite. Motion was made by Oseka, seconded by Haase that President Wadas contact all board members for a YES or NO vote to continue with work on the campsite and shore line repair as discussed in the meeting and to be funded by the Trust Fund Grant money. (Results of the vote compiled 12/22/08: 10 directors voted YES, 1 director voted NO, 1 director abstained.)

Other old business discussed included previous work on the South and Cedar Trails; lake history should be given to Cliff Johnson; work on new trail along the river by the new campsite delayed due to wet conditions; association member has offered to work with firefighters and burn at the tree dump this winter when conditions are favorable for burning safely; and final list of paid members and paid docks for 2008.

New business included information on cost of asphalt for emergency spillway; director Haase is working on the repair of the tractor and will advise on best course of action; the Environmental Trust CD will come due at Ericson State Bank and will be addressed by directors J. Smith and Wadas; and statements for 2009 Association membership and docks will be mailed in January 2009. Director Oseka will collect and maintain proper addresses for paid members. The matching grant challenge has about 1 year remaining and is within reach with continued support.

Next Board meeting is scheduled for February 22, 2009 at 9:30am. The meeting after that is scheduled for March 29, 2009 at 9:30am. Motion to adjourn by Armstrong, seconded by Claus. Meeting adjourned.
