VII. Member Topics
Terry from Rosewood presented a letter he found on his golf cart regarding parking golf carts on the bluff. Terry wanted to know if the Board was aware of this letter. Terry talked with a detective from Sanilac County. The Board did not send the letter and has no knowledge of any such letter. Bob suggested that it was a prank.
Michelle from Maple wanted to know about trimming along the staircases. There is not a company that trims the staircases. Debbie B. says trimming along the staircases is ok, but DO NOT remove the roots. All trimmings must be picked up and taken away. Members are allowed to trim along the staircases to keep the stairs and handrails clear.
Jacki from Zenith thanked Lynn and Don for calling Emterra about a large item that she had put out for pick up. The number is posted on our website. Please call the Bad Axe office before Monday if you have a large item for pick up. Jacki also mentioned that she felt in the past that Zenith has been neglected. Bob assured her that the Zenith steps are a priority. She also asked for permission to weed whack along the Zenith steps.
VIII. Committee Team Reports
Clubhouse – Julie found a 10,000 BTU air conditioner to replace the broken unit for $400. Julie also wants to get some cement paint for the bathroom floors before installing the new toilets. Tom Kiepert donated a clock to the clubhouse. Lynn wrote Tom a thank you card. Julie thanked Kurt, Heidi, John Mc, Glady and Kim for power washing the clubhouse. Dottie has purchased 3 elongated, high toilets from Lakeside Building Supplies for $555.00. Dave gave us a very good deal on these toilets. Dottie will write a thank you.
Bluff/Parkway – There is a clearing scheduled for Mill Creek on Saturday, August 13. Debbie, Liz, and Dottie (Bluff Committee) are meeting on Monday to discuss this project. Bob mentioned that fallen trees in creeks provide habitats for many animals, fish, and frogs and clearing a creek can also cause further erosion. This is not a Board sanctioned activity. The Bluff Committee will also be coming up with guidelines for trimming the bluff.
Beach/Jetties/Boat Ramp – Don said he’d look at the staircases and use his weed whip to clear them. Dottie talked with a young couple that had been sleeping on the beach. Dottie has cleaned up the beach after them.
Clubhouse/Ground/Maintenance – Glady thanked Kurt, Heidi, Darry Brosnan, John McCarol for helping to power wash the clubhouse. They worked very hard.
Election – Renee reported that we had 239 votes. She thanked everyone that helped with the election. Renee is making a note that next year if someone is running for office they must maintain 100 feet from the building.
IX. Unfinished Business
Corn Roast – Glady has a list of everything needed for the Corn Roast on August 27.
Renee made a motion to buy a new air conditioner for $400 plus tax. Glady seconded. Approved. Motion passed. (202232)
General Meeting - There was a discussion about checking names on deeds for voting at the General Meeting and issuing neon wrist bands to deed holders. This would make it easy to verify owners of property. It was discussed that we would check names on our master list as people arrive. Due to the Open Meetings Act, we cannot deny someone from attending the meeting. However, the wrist bands would assure that only owners of property can vote.
