Bob Kepley reported on his attendance of LACA Annual Meeting. Feels there is a need to further discuss LACA’s position on the early site permit.

On 7/8 he also attended Louisa Co. Planning Committee meeting. Noah’s Landing was a topic. They will vote on Noah’s Landing on 9/7 at 5pm. Some reference/discussion to the article by P.T. Spencer.
Dick Bolan, agrees with Bob’s report.
Bill Murphy asked for further information regarding PC? (unsure of letters) status. It was said that testing is in the process, and waiting for results.
Sharon LaTour found that when she expressed it being her turn to volunteer to protect the lake that people responded, therefore this could be a way to recruit others with that thought.
Bill Hayden mentioned when we as LACA people attend area meetings not to announce ourselves as a representatives of LACA, but just a resident of the area. He revisited the involvement of LACA in Sub-divisions and mass drain fields and more interfacing with the counties on their approving these alternative drain fields. Also, maybe the need for us to monitor these drain fields.
Edsel Saunders commented he did not receive any paper trail from former committee chair and vowed to have proper documentation of his term. Requested some type of map of the boundaries.
Bernie White: Reported problems with the first Sub-division in Orange County, their mass drain field breakdown and how we can help other up and coming sub-divisions before this type of problem happens to them. Also, he was surprised how many of these new residents are not aware of LACA and he would help the membership committee reach out and educate more folks.
Committee Group Reports:
Bill Borduin: Regarding early site permit. Bill Hayden said in October a report would be completed that will give us information to respond to.
Jim Oliver: Asked about missing buoy, said it is being replaced.
