MINUTES – Carolyn Green presented minutes of the May 20, 2019 meeting taken by James
Taylor. Andrew Reznack made a motion to approve the minutes with corrections. Greg Brumitt
seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
VISITOR COMMENTS – Peggy reported on Chicken Dinner fundraiser happening from 11-3
on July 14 at the Moose Lodge. She estimates a potential for $500 on chicken and baked goods.
OLD BUSINESS – The Association-wide meeting at the Moose Lodge was discussed. The
proposal was fairly well received. The board went through the possible options for new
assessments and it was agreed that going forward the residents would have the option of paying
assessments by the month.
Rick Welle made a motion to ask the residents to raise the 2020 assessment from $42 to $100
per month and that this question be put out to the residents as soon as possible. Roy Wehling
seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
The slides from the annual meeting are on the website. Mike and Jim will put together a short
version to mail out. The proposed change will be sent to the attorney for wording of the ballot. It
is hoped that everything can be pulled together and mailed out to the residents prior to the July
board meeting so people with questions can come to the board meeting.
FINANCIAL REPORT – Rick Welle went through the financial reports from the month of May.
Payments have been good. There are 3 homeowners with balances of around $3,000. Expenses
are within the budget. Roy made a motion to approve the financials as presented. Bob Cahn
seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Legal: There has been a bankruptcy. Anything before 2017 will not be collectible. We need to
file a proof of claim on behalf of Dunlap Lake. It was asked if the lien would stand by itself?
Mike will follow up with the attorney.
Meetings Elections and Social: Andrew Reznack, chair
The chicken dinner was already discussed. The next meet-up at the dam is the following Sunday.
The winter social will be January 18, 2020 at the Wildey Theatre.
Restrictions: Roy Wehling chair
Got a response to a letter on the bad dock with dead animal at 440 E. Lake. There will be a letter
going out to W. Lake lot that has an oversized motor. There are also 2 docks falling in the lake.
Safety: Greg Arth, chair – no report
Silt & Erosion: Submitted by Craig Louer, chair
No report. Craig will try to get a date Karen Frederick from Horner Shiffrin and Tyson Zobrist
from the Army Corps of Engineers can meet with the committee before another ballot goes out.
Building: Andy Leek, chair
Everything has been routine. No building permit applications need approval from the board.
Commons Areas – Lee Frea, chair
A new City of Edwardsville Neighborhood Beautification Grant Initiative (ENERGI) is out.
Last year the association was awarded about $3,000 to install kayak stands and picnic tables. Lee
moved to apply for a grant this year for clean-up, improvement and beautification of on the
commons areas. Bob Cahn seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
The Board approved up to $20,000 to repair E7. It doesn’t look like the riprap work alone will
require that much expense. There’s 120’ of shoreline and ditch that need repaired, but Lee would
like to get back with Ryan Z. at the City to see if there’s a way to add an appropriately sized black
corrugated pipe, so the riprap does not continue to wash out.
It was noted that many of the pipes running under the roads around the lake are inadequate,
blocked, or have had water create an additional bypass around the existing pipes. Andy and Bob
volunteered to help Lee put together a list of problem areas to discuss with the City. It was noted
opening up all these areas that are too small will bring even more storm water into the lake and
that it will come in significantly faster.
Communications and website – Tim Brown, chair; Ryan Beevers, webmaster
Will help with the mid July mailer, posting materials, and responding to ballot questions as
needed.
Dam: Submitted by Michael Watts, chair
Nothing more has been done on the proposed spillway changes. There has not been a normal pool
to get depth measurements for the next steps. Carolyn will schedule the annual dam inspection.
Last year’s inspection was the end of August. Lee wants to be present if possible.
Fireworks: Michael Watts, chair. 9:20 July 6. Will rope off the area at 8 pm. Cleanup 5:30 Wed
July 3. There needs to be a reminder e-mail with safety instruction a few days before.
Fish and Wildlife: Doug Carney, chair
Kids Fishing Derby will be the Saturday of Labor Day. That is 8-11 a.m. August 31.
Legal: Donna Polinske, chair
no report
Management Report: Submitted by Carolyn Green
Nothing unusual to report. Greg Arth doing a good job of handling safety calls (there haven’t
been many so far this summer) and I am working with him to improve the boat sticker record
keeping process.
