Van Vliet Lake Association

Board Meeting Minutes

 
 

               

The meeting was called to order by President Jeff Burke at 9:08am. 

The following board members were also in attendance:  Jill Wilm, Paul Specht, Mike Czarny, Ronie Jacobsen, Jorja Burke and Tom Olson. 

Minutes of the prior board meeting were read and approved as corrected with a motion by Tom, 2nd by Mike.

 

Treasurer’s Report by Paul: 

To date, 16 residents have paid their annual dues for membership for 2010.

The following was discussed:

Jill:  Reminders for the annual meeting were mailed and posted to the website; flyers will be distributed to residents.  An updated register is needed with correct addresses for residents.  Jorja will complete by the end of summer.  The mailing requesting volunteers for CB/CW activities garnered two responses and 2 new members.  Jill said CB/CW volunteers found the participants knowledgeable and cooperative.  The winning walleye was caught and released in Van Vliet Lake.  She also believes CB/CW awareness must begin with kids – she will contact the Discovery Center re education for children.

Tom requested an update of the current status of Horsehead Lake residents’ request for R-1 zoning status.

Ronie recommended that Lake Association information be sent to those who have provided e-mail address via e-mail whenever possible.  Those without e-mail accounts would receive hard mail.  Tom’s opinion is that mail is mail and the By-Laws would not need to be changed to accommodate this.  She is looking ahead to the fall Musky Tournament and will contact Beth Kebl of Manitowish Waters for further information.

Mike gave a synopsis of APM status.

Agenda items for the July 5, 2010 meeting:

Wash down station at the boat landing

Contact DNR re their long-term ideas for pit toilets for the landing (future).  Reports of tissue, etc., having been found in the area surrounding the landing. 

Determine level of interest for CB/CW volunteers with a sign-up sheet.

Shoreline restoration and volume purchase of suitable plants.

Fishery enhancements =- fish cribs?

Hemlock forest – any project ideas?

Gravel Pit off Norway Road – remediation.

 

As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:00am by a motion from Paul and a 2nd from Tom.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Jorja  Burke, Secretary
