Lake Board Decisions -- July 2007

The Lake Board meets from time to time to act in the interest of the homeowners of Upper Rockyford Lake. The following decisions were made at the July Lake Board meeting:

1. To invest in an outfall skimmer boom for placement near Percival Road. The total cost for this will be $113.09 including shipping and handling. Thom agreed to assist in procuring this device. We discussed creating a weekly rotation (by first, second, third, etc Saturdays of each month) to remove material caught by this device.

2. Geri Fields was approved as our new treasurer. I will meet with her soon to transfer information, bank statements, etc.

3. We reported on progress on the dam. Terra-Tec did complete the patching job as promised.

4. A Gills Creek Watershed Task force is being re-formed in the interest of maintaining and improving the whole watershed. We will stay up on activities of this effort, and Thom has agreed to attend represent us at a meeting in early August.

5. We agreed to ask Mac Watson to spray for the aquatic primrose. (Mac has been contacted since the meeting, and intends to spray Saturday the 28^th).

6. We agreed to pursue other lake homeowner associations in this area of the watershed to trade ideas and discuss solutions. We hope to be able to meet with them in the early fall.

7. We also discussed long-range plans for repair of the outflow control tower. There are concerns about how the repair/refitting can be done without negatively impacting the fishing on our lake.

8. We briefly discussed the lowering of the lake, scheduled for mid-January.
   
   
9. Our next meeting will be in September.

Thanks to the members of the board for a fine meeting, and welcome to the new members, who bring refreshing “new blood” to the board.
