2. Projects
a) Dredging Project—Kelly Evans Kelly gave a status report. The local Tribes have raised
additional concerns. Hearing is June 24th, 2015. A Lake Limerick town meeting should be
scheduled for the 3rd weekend in July when permit conditions are known. The Q&A list
started previously needs to be completed by the Committee, the GM and AguaTierra prior
to the June BOD meeting. Committee discussed a number of issues including liability for
docks during removal and temporary moorage/storage, who is going to assist, what to do
with a recalcitrant dock owner, among other topics. Also discussed dewatering at Log Toy
Park (2nd busiest park) during Labor Day weekend, and the need to move the Park hosts.
The committee also discussed Security to keep juveniles from damaging or drowning in
the dewatering bags.
b) Banbury Park Improvements—GM No GM Report due to death of Sheila’s mother.
Committee members noted that it appears no work has started on any of the lake
projects, last scheduled to start May 18, and that the work is now bumping up against the
4th of July when the park use will be heavy.
c) Inn Island Improvements—GM No report
d) Fishing Derby—wildly successful
e) Lakes Management Plan—Debbie Moore—Debbie will send SOW to BOD for concurrence
that this is still what the BOD was thinking about last year.
3. Status of Last Month’s Motions to the Board of Directors—
a) After discussion the minutes were approved on a motion by Glen Bachman, seconded by
Tim Reber with the deletion of the word “rumored” from Dave Kohler’s motion concerning
reviewing the operations manuals for Lakes Limerick, Cranberry and Leprechaun. Accepted
b) Tim Reber moved, Debbie Moore seconding, passed unanimously: The operations manual
should specify that the weir boards at Lake Leprechaun be installed the first week of April
each year. Accepted after clarification
E. New Business
1. General Manager’s Report— No GM Report due to death of Sheila’s mother.
2. Lake Leprechaun—Tim Reber and Glen Bachman—Tim purchased and installed cleats on the
community swim float so small water craft could tie up. While the grass at the parking area is
being maintained, the grass at the spill/dam needs attention per previously received
guidance.
3. Lakes Weed Treatment—Debbie Moore, John McRoberts and Tim Reber— Weed survey was
conducted June 5th. Numerous yellow iris locations were noted. With the warm weather and
a lack of flushing through the lake, more weeds were expected than were actually noticed.
Only a few locations will need treatment this year. Harry the limnologist will focus on
treatment alternatives for yellow iris. Harry will survey the lake again for weeds in
September. Committee requested he personally present a synopsis of the weed year at the
October meeting. The committee thought Harry’s proposal to conduct a biomass survey to
determine the depth and contour of the bottom muck before and after the dredge project was
a good idea. Debra moved as a recommendation to the Board of Directors, with Tim
seconding, and Committee passed unanimously:
“I move that we authorize TetraTech, Inc. to create a biomass map for Lake Limerick prior
to and after dredging for benchmark purposes as well as one map for Lake Leprechaun,
estimated cost for maps being about $1,000 each, total not to exceed $3,000.”
4. Maintenance Report—GM No report
5. Budget Team—Dave Kohler, Kelly Evans, Debbie Moore— Nothing to report. Linda volunteered
Brian for the team.
6. Dock Inspections—Bob Moore— No report
7. Newsletter—Committee Chair— Debbie did a great job.
8. TMDLs—Brian Smith— Nothing to report
9. Committee recommendation for Committee chair—BOD appointed Glen, the committee’s
suggested choice.
10. Committee selection of representative on BOD Committee resolution re-examination
committee. Dave’s nomination was accepted by the BOD. No report because no meetings to
date.
11. Lake Patrol revival—Jack Betterley-- Jack was on Lake Limerick in the Patrol boat during the
Memorial Day weekend. Some confusion about who did and didn’t get email notifications.
F. Other New Business— The date for the July meeting was June 28, 2015 to avoid meeting on the
July 4th weekend. Because Glen couldn’t make that date, the committee agreed to change the
date to July 11, 2015 recognizing several other committee meet that day as well. Meeting will be
in the If Ida room next to the café if there is no conflict with a golfing event—if there is we’ll pull
up a tree outside.
G. Guest Input None
H. Review of New Commitments
1. Glen to follow up with the GM regarding Anglia, Banbury and Inn Island projects.
2. Committee to work on dredging Q&A list to be sent back out by Debbie by June 15th, also
identifying questions that need to be answered by the GM or AguaTierra.
3. Kelly to ask LLCC attorney 1) what LLCC can do if a member in the dredge area refuses to move
a dock; 2) what liability does LLCC incur when we require owners to move docks; 3) what
liability does LLCC incur if we assume responsibility for dock moving and storage.
4. Kelly to follow up with AguaTierra to determine more precisely the exclusion zone (the red
triangle on the map) in King’s Cove with particular reference to the Berkel’s lot.
5. Kelly to convey to GM and AguaTierra the need for a more detailed schedule (CPM;
PERT/GANNT) for managing the project and making sure critical deadlines are being met (like
dock removal, etc.).
6. Debbie to send the BOD the Lake Management Plan SOW for their concurrence.
7. Glen to ask the GM to have maintenance periodically record levels on the board gauges at the
lakes so their readings can be correlated to the automated level logger readings.
8. Glen will follow up with the GM on Lake Leprechaun maintenance items.
9. Debbie will ask Harry the limnologist to meet with the Committee in October.
10. Kelly will ask AguaTierra if concrete dock anchors in the dredge zone have to be removed also.
11. Glen will double check with the GM that the Log Toy Park Hosts are OK with having to move to
another site (Banbury) during the dredge operation, and work with the GM to see if LLCC’s
current security service can handle overnight security on the dewatering site at Log Toy park
during the dredge operation.
