Lou Garris will handle the security personnel this summer. We will have gate guards at both the main and west gates. There will be a roving patrol using the lake pickup and the UTV that was purchased for this purpose. There will also be a water patrol manned by the security personnel. Bob Pelker will be the Board contact for security.

1-6 Camping permits, boat/car stickers,gate cards, etc.
If a lot owner needs a camping permit, boat or card sticker, gate card, etc. and is unable to make it into the office in town during the week, they can contact Rich's office and the required paperwork will be at the guard office for them over the weekend.

HD Media is giving us information on upgrading the video cameras for the gate and dumpster area. We are considering a small tower at the west gate for wireless security communication.

Sheila and Carol will work on 911 signage.

1-9 Seasonal camping permit
Sheila Caskey made a motion that the seasonal camping permit issue be dropped. Bob Pelker seconded the motion, motion carried. The information will be sent to all lot owners who have provided their email address. It will also be posted on the website and on the bulletin board at the front gate. It will also be included in the summer newsletter which will be out in the next few weeks.

1-10 Pool
We have hired Cody Lauder to work part time this summer along with Tyler Mattingly. Cody and Tyler will assist Bob Welden.

The grates that must be installed to meet Federal compliance were received. However, they were the wrong ones. The new ones should be in and installed this week. The baby pool is filled and ready to go.

1-11 Restaurant
Damian Holtman, who cooked at the restaurant last year, is going to run the restaurant this year. In order to try to reduce the costs, we are reducing the hours the restaurant will be open as well as the variety of items sold. The restaurant will be open Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays only. The menu will consist of sandwiches (hamburgers, hot dogs) as well as fries, chicken nuggets, and that type of food. Sheila, Carol and Bill will be the Board contacts for the restaurant.

1-12 Paving
Bauman should start next week paving Phase 2 of the project. Since we prepaid much of the rock work on the road and do not have to borrow as much for the paving, the Board discussed proceeding with ditch repair. Before they begin paving, Bauman will do 3600' of ditch work to repair erosion. They will place an 8' trough. Fill with 3-4 inch rock. Price is $6.25 per foot or $23,000. Sheila made the motion to add ditch work to Phase 2 of the paving project. Bob Pelker seconded. Motion carried.

To accommodate bike and motorcycle concerns, speed bumps will be reduced by one foot on each side.

Discussed the pavement repair bond. When a lot owner is going to cross the pavement to hookup utilities, or for any other reason, we will require a $2,500 bond. If the pavement is damaged, that money will be used for repair purposes. If repairs are not necessary, the money will be returned to the lot owner.

Bob Pelker expressed concerns about the weight of concrete trucks on the paved roads. Rich said he discussed this with RMC and they agreed to limit their load in the development to 6 yards. Bob suggested random checking of the trucks' tickets to be sure they are following our agreement.

1-13 Lake Erie
Harold Unterreiner met with officials from the Missouri Department of Conservation about the leak in Lake Erie. Last year a dye was placed in the lake to trace the leak. It appears to be going into an underground cavern. The MDC suggested that in the fall when the lake level is down, we lower the lake a few inches at a time until we see if we can find the leak. At that point whether or not repair is feasible can be determined.

1-14 Lot consolidation
Robert and Sandra Coalter requested consolidation of Plat 2, lot 96 and Plat 2, lot 102. Lots are contiguous. Sheila made a motion to approve. Bill seconded, motion carried.

Pam Miesner requested consolidation of Plat 2, lot 156 and Plat 2, lot 157. Lots are contiguous. Harold made a motion to approve. Bill seconded, motion carried.

1-15 Building permits
Bob Pelker agreed to take over the job of approving building permits. Winnie suggested that an address sign for 911 purposes be a requirement before a building permit is issued.

1-16 Lots for sale
The Association has several lots for sale. Kim Moore, the Association attorney, is working on getting clear titles. Those lots that are available and ready to sell are listed on lakeperry.com.

1-17 Landscaping
Winnie McConachie will take over the landscaping committee since Lo Sims stepped down. Carol Breig volunteered to maintain the landscaping around the office as well as the small bed in memory of Cherryl Taylor. Bill Logan said his wife Linda also has volunteered to adopt a flowerbed. Anyone who would be willing to volunteer is asked to contact Winnie.

1-18 Restriction violations
Discussed violations of the restrictions. Discussed the difference between restrictions and guidelines. Discussed legal cost of pursuing violators. Rich suggested that during each meeting the Board cover a section of the restrictions as a form of continuing education for the Board. A failure to read or a misunderstanding of the restrictions seems to be a common problem. Winnie offered to work on sending letters to individuals who are in violation of the restrictions.

1-19 Dumpsters
We will add one dumpster at both main and west gates for the summer. On holiday weekends we will add one of the large dumpsters.

1-20 Board member concerns
Bill Logan expressed concern over lot owners leaving fires burning on their lots without someone there to tend to them. Bill also expressed interest in a disaster response program to notify lot owners of property damage in case of storm damage. It was decided that the Neighborhood Watch committee would be a good group to address that issue.

Bob Pelker discussed the concern of some lot owners about the lack of "transparency" regarding issues before the Board. This was discussed and the Board agreed that we need to do a better job of keeping the lot owners informed. As a part of that, the monthly meeting minutes will be posted on the Lake Perry website.

Rich discussed the suggestion of running the lake's business office from the lake. It does not appear to be a practical or a sound financial idea at this time.

Harold made a motion to adjourn at 7PM. Bob seconded.

Next meeting will be Thursday, June 11, 2009, at 4:30 PM at the lake office.
