After a lengthy discussion from Directors, Director Miller made a motion, seconded by Director Cressman to amend the Redbook Changes of Boat/Motor Sizing as follows:

Redbook Revision
Section #, 2C

Each boat seasonally registered with the LSA office in accordance with Section E-2(b) shall be given an LSA colored registration sticker and shall be assigned an LSA registration number (owner’s lot number). The sticker must be displayed clearly on the boat port side (left) gunwale, adjacent to the stern. LSA numbers must be of contrasting color to the boat.

LS and your lot number (for example, LS 1) must be displayed on both gunwales adjacent to the stern. The size of the displayed numerals shall be the same as those for the State registration number and may be applied by using the conventional numerical decals available at hardware or marine stores. Any person operating a boat not displaying a current Lake Summerset registration sticker and lot number (except those boats having a valid temporary registration) will be subject to monetary penalty and suspension of boat privileges. Boat “types” as the term is used herein are (i) power boats, including deckboats, (ii) fishing boats having a motor of 50 HP or less, (iii) pontoon boats having a motor of 75 HP or less, and (iv) non-motorized boats (e.g., canoes, kayaks, paddles boats, wind surfers, etc). No more than one boat of each type may be registered per lot, except that up to six non-motorized boats may be registered per lot in any combination.

Section E, 4(a)

(a) No powerboat operated on the lake may exceed 18 feet in length per manufacturer’s specification and Illinois State Registration.

Section E, 4(b)

(b) No boat-motor combination exceeding 70 horsepower may be operated on the lake or registered by LSA unless previously grandfathered or registered after the following horsepower limits changes.
Effective January 2003, the maximum H.P. was increased to 75 H.P. for power boats, including deck boats and pontoon boats, providing such motors meet or exceed the C.A.R.B. 2001 rating (one star rating).

Effective July 2011, the maximum H.P. was increased to 90H.P. for power boats, including deck boats, providing such motors meet or exceed the C.A.R.B. 2008 rating (three star rating).

C.A.R.B. is an acronym for “California air Resources Board”. The C.A.R.B. rating and star labeling system is an industry standard for engine exhaust emissions.

These new H.P. limits and C.A.R.B. ratings apply to motors 75HP up to 90HP which are replacements on registered boats, used boat and motor combinations and new boat and motor combinations registered after these dates. These new ratings apply to both two and four cycle outboard motors.

Motion passed with a roll call vote.

Director Brannon made a motion to come out of Committee of the Whole seconded by Director Cressman. Motion passed with a voice vote.

Director Cressman made a motion to waive the standard wait time rule seconded by Director Metzler. Motion passed with a voice vote.

Director Gorsch made a motion to take action tonight instead of the August Board meeting, seconded by Director Metzler. Motion passed with a voice vote.

Director Gorsch made a motion to amend the motion proposed in the June Board Meeting and amend the last paragraph wording. Director Metzler seconded the motion. Motion passed with a roll call vote.

Director Gorsch made a motion to adjourn seconded by Director Metzler. Motion passed with a voice vote. Meeting adjourned at 8:15 pm.

Respectfully Submitted,

Gayle Gladkin
