APPROVAL OF APRIL 13, 2009 BOARD MINUTES. Director Keener made a Motion, seconded by Director Raduns to approve the Minutes of the April 13, 2009 Board Meeting with amendment on page 5, fourth line from the bottom to read, “Director Gorsch was unable to find a date of enactment of the Redbook change.” Motion carried.
TREASURER’S REPORT. Mark Metzler reported Membership Dues and Fines Income at 95.7%; Total Budgeted Revenues 78.4%; Total Operating Expenses 24%; Total Administrative Expenses 27.3%; Total Operating and Administrative Expenses 25.7%; Dues and Interest Allocated to Capital Expenditures 86.6% and Total Expenditures 41.4%.
MANAGER’S REPORT.
2009 Goose Control Program. Manager Wilke reported approximately forty eggs were treated in this year’s egg depredation program. This year’s project will be completed later this week with removal of eggs, nesting materials and the filing of the required IDNR report in accord with the permit. In the past, LSA has always noted a few goslings that appear in successful hatches, from well-hidden nests or offsite locations. This year, there may be more hatchlings due to members who refused to grant permission for treatment of nests on their property.
2009 Road Project Status. As an update from last month’s Board action regarding the 2009 road project, agreement has been reached with the successful bidder, Fahrner Asphalt, and LSA is tentatively scheduled for a mid-June sealcoat application. This timetable will allow completion of the preparatory work, including hot mix leveling and grading as authorized by the Board. The preparatory work will be performed by staff and G & M Asphalt, based on comparative pricing and past work experience performed by LSA.
Boat Safety Class. Chief Wise instructed this year’s first Boat Safety Class on May 2, 2009. It’s encouraging to note that the class was full and another is scheduled for June 27. Trained boaters equate to safer conditions on the lake.
Spring Property Tour. This tour was conducted on April 25, with staff, board members and BRG Committee members in attendance. The tour visited a number of sites that represent current and future planned association projects and will serve as the basis for discussion for Board and BRG in review of these topics.
The highlight of the tour was a visit to the Beach 2 Bathhouse, where participants were impressed with the improvement that this project represents. At present we await only final plumbing and IDPH inspections and landscaping to complete the project. Even with the additions of front concrete entrance steps and removal of a UST at the site we will come in well under budget. The architect, Richard L. Johnson, recently made a final inspection and commended our maintenance staff for the apparent quality of construction in the project. Official opening of the facility will be Saturday, May 23, 2009.
COMMITTEE REPORTS.
BUILDINGS, ROADS AND GROUNDS. Director Gorsch indicated the minutes of the meeting were in the packet and there was nothing for Board action. He indicated new officers had been elected; Rich Doose as chairman, John Scaduto as vice-chairman and Gale Gross as Secretary. President Miller asked if the ad would continue to run for the opening on the committee. Director Gorsch reported that no resumes have been submitted, so it would be up to the committee to decide, and he believed the committee wished to maintain a membership of eleven.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL. Director Gorsch attended the May meeting in Director Kisser’s absence. Director Gorsch made a motion to rescind the action of the Board in June of 2008 that eliminated the annual tree inspection, seconded by Marty Kisser. There was no discussion. Motion carried unanimously.
Director Keener asked for explanation on two motions made by the committee at the May 2 meeting. The first motion dealt with adding a sentence to all builder packets regarding property pin placement. Director Gorsch said that had to do with having a professional survey to find the pins. Director Keener asked if the present pins were being used. Director Gorsch indicated a desire to confirm the pins. President Miller asked if this was relating to new houses or exiting. Director Gorsch indicated houses and said there are issues, especially along the shoreline where stabilization has been installed and pins are difficult to find or people have added new pins. Director Keener said he raised the question because he believed is was already the procedure to find the pins. Director Gorsch stated this would create increased costs, but taking responsibility for finding the pins could create liability if they are not correct. Director Keener then asked about Universal Check List, and Director Gorsch explained the request for designation of “permanent residence” or “weekend residence” would allow them to know where to send future mailings.
LAKE PLANNING. Director Keener did not believe there was anything for Board action.
LONG RANGE GOALS. Director Raduns reported she had attended the April 11 meeting. Director Raduns moved that the LSA Board assign priority to having LSA Maintenance make signs and markers for park borders and access corridors to more clearly define the location of these amenities, seconded by Director Keener. Director Keener expressed the opinion that this was a good idea. Motion passed unanimously.
Director Raduns made a motion that the LSA Board authorize the name of the Long Range Goals Committee to be changed to the Long Range Planning Committee and to make the corresponding changes to the LSA Redbook and any other affected documents, seconded by Director Gorsch. Director Kisser asked why the motion was made, feeling it would cause confusion with Lake Planning. Director Gorsch indicated there was already confusion with people calling it Long Range Planning, and the purpose of the motion is to clarify the name. Director Raduns agreed it was for clarification. Director Gorsch stated the function of the committee is more of planning than setting goals. Motion passed.
Director Raduns reported that a letter of resignation had been received from Bob Harting, a valuable contributor and long time member of the committee. Jim Hewitt will present him with a certificate or letter of appreciation. This creates an opening on this committee and President Miller asked if it should be advertised. Director Raduns indicated that it should be.
ACTIVITIES. Director Franzen indicated this committee had a good meeting with good attendance. She began by thanking the Gram’s Club for their efforts on the Easter Egg Hunt. She announced that the Italian Fest is this Saturday night. A Day in Chicago bus trip will be offered on June 15 with stops at several museums and Navy Pier. Sweatshirts have been added with t-shirts for the 40th Anniversary event. Because there will be a limited number of pulled pork dinners at the Anniversary celebration, Director Franzen recommended pre-ordering. She offered a special thanks to Steve Bottino, the self-designated photographer for activities. Director Keener asked if clubs still wanted to rent space for the Anniversary event, if that would be in the lodge. Director Franzen indicated that food would be in the pavilion and that the lodge would host an art show and Garden Club. Gram’s Club will have a silent auction in one end of the eating tent. The plans are still flexible for others to join.
CAMPGROUNDS. Nothing to report. Director Franzen indicated the first meeting will be on May 23.
COMMUNITY RELATIONS. President Miller indicated there was nothing for board action, but encouraged the audience to volunteer to be an officer on this committee. There are currently no volunteers for officers. He stated this is an important committee that handles matters and prevents some issues from coming before the Board. He directed attention to Ed Jurczak as the contact person to volunteer to.
SECURITY. Director Pepich reported nothing for board action. She announced a neighborhood watch meeting/potluck on Wednesday, May 20 at 6:30, at which Deputy Barrios will be present. The current amount received from fundraising for the water rescue training is $3,335.65. More root beer floats will be served during the garage sale and anniversary celebration.
MEMBERS MATTERS. None.
OLD BUSINESS/CARRY-OVER.
Executive Session. President Miller indicated that the Executive Session language could be adopted for the Redbook addition, and indicated the signature page had already been passed and signed. Director Pepich read the language for the members present: “Any official actions, such as removal of committee members will be completed by motions made and voted on in open session. That individual will be given an opportunity to meet with the board in executive session to discuss the situation. The reasons for board action will not be discussed in open session. Discussion in open session will be limited to board members.” She then asked if the individuals would be contacted prior to or after the open meeting. Director Gorsch did not see a reason to contact them in advance. President Miller stated if the language offers an opportunity to meet with the board in executive session, there should be advance notice. Director Pepich stated this advance notice was not given to the ECC committee that was unseated, and would have been a courtesy to do so. She further stated “it seems the Board is undermining “volunteerism.” Why should anyone wish to volunteer to serve on any committee knowing that they can be removed from such committee at the whim of the board majority at any time with no input whatsoever? It still seems to me that the board majority’s decision to remove the entire ECC committee was not only poorly handled, but was very callous and disrespectful with no warning to any member of said committee prior to their removal. Regardless of the fact that it was “legal,” it still wasn’t accomplished in a very considerate manner. I know this is “water over the dam,” but I’m sorry, it still disturbs me—a display of insensitivity.” Director Keener requested the language be reworded to allow the individual be given opportunity to meet in executive session prior to the open meeting. Director Gorsch said this felt like rehashing the past discussion. He indicated this rule was not in effect when ECC was removed. There was no real way of dealing with individual performance at that time, except in open session. This is an opportunity to go into executive session and not have to name names in open session. As discussed with the attorney, it is unlikely that the majority of the Board will go into executive session agreeing that the performance of an individual is sub-par, so that individual already has representation on the Board. Director Keener stated the first sentence of the motion does not mention prior notification or executive session. President Miller asked Director Keener if he desired to amend the language and offered the addition of the phrase, “having been notified prior to the meeting,” in the second sentence after “That individual.” Director Keener made a motion to add the phrase, “having been notified prior to the meeting,” in the second sentence after “That individual,” seconded by Director Pepich. Director Pepich asked if the individual would be allowed to bring someone with him or her. President Miller indicated legal counsel had advised against allowing others, because the purpose of going into executive session was to prevent defamation of character in public. The attorney said there would be support from an ally on the Board, or it wouldn’t be moving into executive session. Director Pepich reiterated that the individual wouldn’t know whether or not they had allies if they were not advised in advance. Director Gorsch stated this was still rehashing and indicated the language was clear and would allow the Board to conduct business pursuant to legal counsel’s recommendation. Director Pepich expressed a desire to use honor and consideration in dealing with volunteers. President Miller stated legal counsel didn’t deal with prior notification and he said if the next Board President returns to allowing motions to be brought to the table without being on the agenda, there would be no prior notice to individuals. Director Gorsch said the intent was to go to executive session first. No specific Board action should be taken in executive session and that may or may not lead to action in open session. President Miller asked Director Gorsch if he didn’t mind that a person may learn after the meeting that there was an issue. Director Gorsch said he didn’t know how the logistics of advance notice would work. President Miller suggested telling people ahead of time. Director Gorsch said matters should be taken up in executive session; then if the Board decides to proceed, invite the individual after that. President Miller reiterated his desire to give advance notice. Director Gorsch said that would mean going into executive session without knowing whether the majority of the Board wants to proceed. President Miller presented an example scenario to illustrate why he felt notice should be given to the individual. Director Gorsch again stated he was not sure how that could be handled and suggested laying over the action to advise the individual and then proceed. President Miller stated that the Board may not want to take the additional time involved in laying over the matter. Director Raduns stated that executive session may not be necessary beforehand, but the individual should be notified of the proposed action and offered to go into executive session. Director Pepich agreed notice should be given prior to the meeting. Director Gorsch said it could play out that way if there is a motion on the agenda and the Board is prepared to vote if they go into executive session and decide whether to proceed, just as was done with naming the new ECC. Director Raduns said this would be different than throwing them off. Director Gorsch said it would be similar to the way new members were discussed. President Miller said the discussion is about a single individual, not a committee. He indicated the Board has the authority to unseat entire committees. Director Pepich said the language should be considered on the basis of an individual. Director Keener stated he read it to refer to an individual, not a group or committee, who is not performing to the welfare of the committee or Association, and that is why he wanted it rephrased to allow for notice. President Miller agreed and said that offered the opportunity, an individual may resign prior to the discussion. Director Keener agreed that volunteers may resign. President Miller changed the first sentence to read in the singular, “Any official action, such as removal of a committee member . . .” to provide a kinder notice of the action. Director Franzen said an individual should be allowed an opportunity to appear before the Board, if he/she wanted to. President Miller read the motion as amended: Any official action, such as removal of a committee member, will be completed by motions made and voted on in open session. That individual, having been notified prior to the meeting, will be given an opportunity to meet with the board in executive session to discuss the situation. The reasons for board action will not be discussed in open session. Discussion in open session will be limited to board members. Roll call vote on the amendment all in favor, except Director Gorsch. President Miller asked for approval of the recommendation as amended. All in favor.
Fishing Regulations. President Miller stated that the fishing regulations matter has caused a search of past Minutes to find changes that are difficult to discern because the motions grouped the changes together. This is now prevented through the signature pages for Redbook changes. However, he still felt that there should be three separate motions made, additionally because the changes to the creel limits, fines and deleting the annual fishing permit are not part of the motion on the agenda. Director Keener first addressed the creel limits on the proposed guest fishing permit: Bluegill/Crappie: no size limit, 10 per day combo (as opposed to no size limit and 25 combo); Bullhead/Perch/Carp: no size or creel limits (remains the same); Catfish: 14” minimum size, limit 2 per day (as opposed to 14” minimum size, limit 4 per day); Walleye: 16” minimum size, limit 1 per day (as opposed to 16” minimum, limit 2); Bass/Northern/Muskie: catch and release (as opposed to Bass 21” minimum, limit 1, Northern 30” minimum, limit 1 and Muskie 45” limit 1). Director Keener further stated that he respects the Fish Club and their work. He also respects fishers and their concern for the population and the lake. He feels they have tried to meet the Board’s requests and believed this was a way to meet halfway, to allow guests the fun of the catch, but to release. Director Keener made a motion to set the daily creel limits as listed, seconded by Director Raduns. Director Gorsch stated he had attended the Fish Club meeting on Thursday and was pleased to follow through with the quantity and size restrictions. He further stated he would go with the Fish Club recommendations, even though they are still not based on data, but based on comments that are just begrudging the guests that seem to have privileges equal to members. This is one way to resolve problems. He did not have any problems with the proposal. Director Miller stated this proposal was for guests fishing alone, and asked if guests were fishing with a member, would it be a combination of the two limits, and if so, what would stop the member from giving their catch to the guest. Director Keener indicated guests would be on the honor system and hoped that members allowing guests in would be reputable. Director Raduns stated the current ruling is guests with members are only allowed the member’s total, so the member’s creel limit would be divided among all fishing. Director Gorsch interjected, unless they possess a guest pass. President Miller concurred, it would require a guest pass. Director Franzen asked if a guest catches a 45” fish and has to release it, why would they have a pass. President Miller replied so the guest could fish without the member. Director Keener suggested they reel it in and take a picture. President Miller indicated mounts can now be created from photographs. Director Keener stated that guests are allowed to keep other fish. Director Franzen indicated she just wanted clarification. Director Gorsch said it was a good question, but indicated some other member will be angry a guest caught a trophy fish. Vote called, all in favor.
Director Keener began to review the differences in fines as shown on the back of the fishing permit. The existing permit indicates a $100.00 minimum fine and loss of permit for possessing minnows, etc. The new permit would have a $100.00 minimum fine for possessing minnows, leeches, crabs, or other baitfish. The current permit has a $25.00 fine for undersized or over limit fish. The new permit would increase this to $50.00. President Miller inquired if the new permit would include termination of the fishing permit. There currently is a $100.00 minimum fine and loss of fishing permit for 12 months. Director Franzen asked why the loss of permit would be dropped. Jeff Folkerts indicated that was dropped for the daily passes, but could be put back on the annual passes. Director Gorsch suggested putting some teeth into the proposal and making loss of permit effective for the season. He also inquired about the VHS-free labeled package. Mr. Folkerts felt this was good to include and Director Gorsch said he trusted the Fish Club. Director Franzen indicated that the fine for lake littering in the paper is $25.00 to $200.00 and wanted to make the fishing permit consistent with the paper. Director Raduns recalled when the matter came up for dead grass being dumped into the lake. Director Franzen asked if the permit could state $25.00 to $200.00. Director Keener agreed. Director Gorsch stated that the fine amount is set by the manager and not by the security officer writing the citation. He said that repeat offenses could be doubled by the manager, and asked Manager Wilke for his opinion. Manager Wilke indicated he was comfortable with $25.00 to $200.00. Director Gorsch stated he trusted the Manager’s discretion. Director Raduns suggested it say minimum $25.00. Director Franzen asked that the newspaper be changed to match. President Miller read the new permit back as a Motion: $100.00 minimum fine for possessing minnows, leeches, crabs, or other baitfish—dead or alive (worms and vhs-free labeled packaged bait ok); $50.00 per fish fine for possessing undersized fish or over creel limit plus loss of permit for 12 months; minimum $25.00 fine for lake littering. All in favor; motion carried.
President Miller raised the third topic, being annual and three day passes. Director Keener moved daily guest fishing permits to be sold at Guard House for $5.00 (same as is done today). Eliminate $50.00 Annual pass and $10.00 three-day passes. New Permit will have Guest’s name, welcoming Member’s lot number, and date added as well as new creel limits, seconded by Director Raduns. Director Franzen asked how fishing permits are to be purchased in advance for weekends when the office is closed. She did not agree with eliminating the annual pass if guest would be visiting for a week. Director Keener acknowledged that as a good question. Director Pepich presented another example of someone coming for a week having to go buy a pass every day. President Miller suggested seven single day passes, dated sequentially. Director Keener indicated that the annual pass price is $50.00. If guests pay $5.00 per day that will help replenish stocking. No one is being punished by doing it this way. This will also prevent members from being “penalized” by paying dues of $580.00 to fish while guests fish all season for $50.00. Director Gorsch disagreed with Director Keener’s statement about not penalizing anyone, and felt the guests who come out frequently would be inconvenienced by getting daily passes. He watches his neighbors when they have guests out to fish and it becomes a social event. It would cause an inconvenience to get a pass each day. Being able to purchase weekend permits in advance would be a compromise. President Miller recalled one member responding to the survey who is too old to fish with his son, who appreciates the annual pass. Director Gorsch reported he had obtained history of guest fishing passes for thirteen months. Only 51 annual passes were issued. Looking at the activity of lots and guests several permit holders started as daily passes for the first two to three months and then purchased annual passes. Director Gorsch suggested a compromise of increasing the annual pass price to $100.00 or $150.00. President Miller offered that guests may decide from the creel limits that the annual pass is not worth the price. Director Raduns stated that families were not listed. Director Gorsch said this permit gets away from making that distinction. Director Pepich asked for clarification that family requires a permit. Director Franzen indicated that family are guests. Director Pepich stated her son gets an annual pass, but for her other children they buy passes, but she had been told a family member does not need a pass. Director Gorsch indicated if the motion on the floor two months ago would have passed that would be the case, but it didn’t pass. Directors Pepich and Gorsch clarified that family members were guests. Director Franzen stated that the amenities pass was created for the convenience of members, to prevent them from driving to the gate each time, and she felt the annual pass was a similar convenience for fishing. Director Gorsch indicated it was a similar attitude. President Miller indicated a problem with the annual pass is that there is no record of how many times the guests come back. Director Gorsch said he tried to determine by lot number where there had been a lot of activity. He found 20 lots, and 13 of the 51 annual passes were from these lots and had coinciding amenity passes. He found only four incidental, and two would have qualified under the original Motion because they had the same last name, which he assumed meant they were family members. Director Franzen asked Jeff Folkerts if the Fish Club felt eliminating the annual pass would alleviate the problem. Mr. Folkerts said it had been recommended to the Fish Club. Director Gorsch indicated he had suggested the change, but asked that it be reconsidered. Mr. Folkerts indicated he didn’t think it should be inconvenient to hand $5.00 through the window at the guard house to get a pass. Director Gorsch felt issuing guest fishing passes at the guard house would clog up the gate, considering 1,140 total fishing passes were issued last year. Director Raduns stated 1,140 guest passes issued to 154 lot owners—how many people didn’t purchase one. She went on to say that she had looked at the demographic survey from 2007, which shows in response to “use of fishing piers” 234 often and 387 occasional. A total of 1204 responses were received representing 50% of the membership. A large difference from 154 getting permits and that does not include those fishing from boats. Director Gorsch said this was a good point which coincides with feedback from people who have observed abuses. He believes the Board needs to talk about rules and how they are being enforcement; perhaps in executive session. Kelli Metzler asked if passes were issued from the office or the gate and Corporate Secretary Marsha Shelly interjected that they are sold in the office, except when the office is closed. Mrs. Metzler felt that eliminating the annual pass would create a burden on the office staff. Mrs. Metzler asked for clarification of the motion relating to a member fishing with the guest. President Miller replied that only the underlined sentence was new language. Mrs. Metzler clarified that a pass would allow a guest to fish without a member present, and then asked if this is for a daily pass. President Miller indicated that was what was being determined by the motion; if the motion fails it would revert back to annual, three-day and daily. If the motion succeeds it would be a daily pass. Mark Metzler recommended adding number of days and dates on the front of the permit to help administration. Mr. Folkerts asked what the current permit looks like. Secretary Shelly stated the annual pass shows an expiration date. She also suggested the motion be changed to sell from the office, except when closed, at the gate. She further stated 21 annual passes have been sold already. President Miller indicated those would be dealt with if the Motion passed. Director Raduns stated that the fishing pass prices of 1 day for $5.00; 3 days for $10.00 and the annual price of $50.00 date back to April of 1994. Sue Harker stated she appreciates the attempts the Board is making, but she got the feeling guest fishing was being discouraged. She suggested not increasing the annual pass, but increasing the fines. Director Gorsch agreed that the tone is to make guest fishing unattractive. Gail Spielman asked who would enforce the new permits and President Miller indicated Security. President Miller amended the Motion to change to sale of permits at the office unless closed, then at the gate. Director Kisser abstained; all others voted against. Motion failed. Guest fishing passes remain at one day, three day and annual.
President Miller indicated a consideration of adding a third page to the permit which would be left on the dashboard of a fisher’s car so security would be able to recognize vehicles as belonging to fishers. This could also generate a census if the form was returned to the guardhouse.
Secretary Shelly asked when the Redbook change would be effective, since following the three month rule would make it effective in July. Director Keener moved that the Redbook change be effective immediately, seconded by Director Franzen. Director Gorsch asked if that was logistically possible. President Miller said as soon as paperwork can be completed. Director Gorsch suggested the next LSA News publication. Secretary Shelly suggested giving the membership notice in the June 1 paper. President Miller suggested also contacting members to make them aware that they are responsible for fines if their guests don’t pay them. Director Raduns suggested front page of the LSA News. President Miller suggested June 1. Director Franzen disagreed since some members do not receive their papers until later and suggested July 1. Director Gorsch stated letters should be sent to the 21 guests with annual passes. Director Raduns indicated fines always revert to the member. Director Gorsch felt it would be fair to advise the property owners of the change. President Miller reiterated the change going into effect June 1 with letters to permit holders. Ken Balla requested flyers be posted at the beach, docking area, dam, etc. so guests can see the changes. President Miller indicated the changes could be posted. Director Gorsch indicated that fishing rules are posted. President Miller said changes would be added. Director Keener made a motion to modify Redbook, Section G to read: Guests may fish only when accompanied by an LSA member or Associate member or when in possession of a special Guest Fishing Permit. The permit lists a unique set of rules and creel limits for Guests different from LSA members and must be signed and carried by Guests while fishing. Guests under age of 16 are not required to have an LSA Guest Fishing Permit, but must be accompanied by an LSA member or Associate member. Anyone over 16 years of age must have an Illinois Fishing License. [The italicized language is the added language.] Seconded by Director Franzen. Director Raduns said the only thing that is being inserted is the unique set of rules and creel limits different from LSA members. President Miller acknowledged that was correct and that the separate changes had been voted on. Director Gorsch asked if the effective date needed to be added to the motion or if the Manager could just take action, and it was agreed to leave to the Manager. All in favor; motion carried. Director Franzen stated she had purchased an annual pass in the office last August and was told that it was for a full calendar year. Secretary Shelly stated all annual passes expire on March 31. Director Franzen indicated the office staff should be trained. Jeff Folkerts said that guests with amenities and annual passes won’t stop at the guardhouse and therefore wouldn’t get the card for the dashboard.
By-Law Committee Development. Mark Metzler reported the committee had its second meeting last Saturday and decided to meet monthly on the second Saturday of each month at variable locations. They had gone through the by-laws and have 53 proposals at this time.
NEW BUSINESS.
Document Identification. Director Raduns moved to adopt a policy which would identify LSA, identify the proposal, bid request or contract and include the date and page number on each sheet, at the footer of the document, on any bid request, proposal or any binding contract established by LSA, between any vendor or service contractor, etc. and LSA, seconded by Director Keener. Director Gorsch asked Manager Wilke and the office manager if there were issues with this proposal, and Manager Wilke indicated there were not. All in favor; motion carried.
President Miller adjourned the meeting to executive session after a five minute recess.
As acting secretary in executive session, Manager Wilke reported that the Board met to discuss legal and personnel concerns, with no action taken.
The Board returned to regular session, at which time Director Keener made a motion to adjourn. Seconded by Director Kisser, the motion passed, with adjournment at 9:55 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
