John Stone report: Provided status report. Attached to agenda. Will be implementing new rotation schedule for patrolling both lakes. Will be on lake and in vehicles more than in office.
VII. Committee Reports
Aquatics – new light poles are on the way, but probably will not arrive in time for installation prior to first swim meet. Also, conduit crushed somewhere, so have to go around baby pool to run power, at an extra cost of $3k.
Finance: Tonya, the new accountant, has been able to get the Sage software to work and has accounting up to date through April. Jefferson Point sidewalk complete. Gate boulder installed. Landscaping completed. Donny has added new sand. Brian not aware of any intention to add additional beach.
Brian reports that looking at replacing skimmer pipe at cost of $3k/100 ft. Water flow study was cost-prohibitive, so no longer considering a jetty.
Brian reports that grass at JP still not ready to be parked on.
Brian says might be able to give short-term access to non-CA members on ski team for practices using new proximity readers.
Tom M. made motion to look into expansion of beach in accordance with original plan. Rob S. seconded. Unanimous approval.
E&F – Paris Cove dredging discussed above.
Green Environmental Advisory Committee – Scott Ellis reported that at last meeting, Keith Stone (Mgr at LSL Cuivre River Electric ofc), discussed that hydroelectric is replacing coal. Coal now 35%, when used to be 70%. Now coal % equal to natural gas. Wind = 20%. Hydroelectric is about 12-13%. Cuivre River has been pushing energy efficiency among customers, and it’s been having an impact. Committee is trying to write more educational articles for Newstime, etc. City has approved spending to promote butterfly garden awareness. New butterfly park will be built at Hawk Ridge Park near Zachary’s Playground. Also butterfly garden on LSL golf course.
