First order of business concerned the Holiday Beach large boat ramp.  Bill Schmidt had reseearched and found there was in fact a mechanic's lien on the boat ramp.  We will not be able to use it until this has been resolved.  Walt Magness said Bill Schmidt and Jim Collins should talk to Ted Logeman.  Walt said he understood at one time negotiations could  have been made lawyer to lawyer.  Bill and Jim are to meet with Mr. Logeman and receive the engineer's report on the boat ramp. Jim Collins made a motion to open the boat ramp, launch at own risk.  Chris Fortin suggested making an exploratory effort to open it. Jim accepted this ammendment and Chris Fortin seconded the motion, motion carried.  Bill Schmidt appointed a committee including Chris Fortin, Randy Phipps, Rooster Bassett, and Jim Collins.  Jim Collins had received an estimate for up grading the small boat ramp.  The contractor, P & D. Trucking, would charge $400.00 for labor and up to $8,200.00 for material.  After discussion concerning traffic, usablility, bids, and funding, it was decided to table the motion for the small boat ramp at this time.

 

Bill Schmidt stated that the Mowing Contract was up - therefore we need to post Mowing Bids being taken on both bulletin boards, anf in the newspaper.  Sharon Walker made a motion the number of cuts to be on a call basis.  Ann Bagley seconded the motion- Motion carried.  Bill Schmidt asked Charles Finegan to cordinate the cuts and Jim Collins to review bids.  Jim Collins was asked to check Hillcrest Park for useable park equipment and to dispose of it if not useable or broken.

 

The next item on the agenda was the Pool Operations.  Bill Schmidt explained the pool operations involved opening and closing pool, cleaning pool center, cleaning bathrooms, taking out trash, monitoring pool and checking sign in.  This is the first time anyone has been paid to monitor and take care of the pool.  If we gave Mr. Dabney a key he would open pool in the mornings for adult aerobics.  Chris Fortin stated he liked the idea of paying someone because the pool is being opened and closed on a timely basis, sign in, parent supervision, toys being put out and put up.  Bryan is doing a fine job.  Jim Collins made a motion to keep Byran until September.  Randy Phipps seconded the motion.  Bill Schmidt explains the risk of our liability insurance if anything would happen with a monitor when the board knew of prior incidents.  Jim retracted his motion, as did Randy's second.  Sharon Walker made a motion to open the pool monitor employment for August until the end of the season.  Ann Bagley seconded the Motion.  Discussiopn was made concerning background check for pool monitor. Sharon Walker accepted an ammednment to that effect.  Chris Fortin made motion to finish out the season at $10.00 per hour for the pool monitor.  Julia Finegan seconded the motion - motion carried.

Saturday July 21, 2007  and Sunday July 22, 2007 two employees from Johnson & Cate Accounting, but not corking under the company counted the ballots. Bill Schmidt read the letter certifying the election.  Walt Parker motioned to accept the certification. Rose Arp seconded the motion - motion carried.  Two (2) copies of the certification will be attached to the Annual Meeting minutes.
