Clerks Report:

A motion was made by Ken Braithwaite and seconded to accept the minutes from the July 14th meeting.  The motion was approved unanimously.

 

Lake , Dam and Beach:

Water testing by Premier Labs has not detected any problems at the beaches.

No additional testing will be done after next week.

Testing kits will be obtained to allow testing to be done without using Premier Labs.  If test results exceed safe levels, Premier Labs will be contacted to do additional testing.  This method will allow for additional testing at a lower cost.  Testing results will be posted on the web site.

Aquatic Control will survey the lake for weeds and do spot treatment if required.

The bend in the drawdown valve mechanism was deemed cosmetic by our engineer.

The lake drawdown plan is:
October 13th - open valve for a slow drawdown.
After the 1st hard frosts, the water level will be partially raised.
The first few feet of shore will remain exposed during the winter.  Docks should be removed.

  

Roads:

Tom Pandolfi reported that Truax will clean the catch basins soon. 

A second bid has not been received for the drainage project.  An estimate will be obtained for additional drainage work at Koviciny Beach .   

 

Zoning:

Margaret Houlihan reported that a permit for roof replacement was issued for 40 Crooked Trail.

 

Health, fire and safety:

Treasurer’s Report:

A motion was made by Glen Humes and seconded by Tom Pandolfi to obtain automobile liability insurance for each board member so they may conduct lake business with their personal vehicle and be covered for accident and other liability.  The motion was approved unanimously.

Next meeting – October 1st at 7PM

A motion to adjourn the meeting was made, seconded and carried unanimously.
