The proposed dock guidelines as posted by Jim Bojan were discussed. It was generally agreed on that the specific guidelines were not required, and that a simple list of considerations should be maintained for the board of directors during approval of dock plans. These considerations for now include the following:

• Boat Path
• Wave attenuation
• Aesthetics
• Views of the water
• Non-polluting materials

Also, it was requested that upon submittal of plans to the board of directors, a reply should be returned in a period not to exceed two weeks.

Mike Bojan submitted plans for a dock to be located on his property. The ski club discussed the optimum location to avoid any interference with the boat path. The board of directors later voted to approve Mike's plans.

The need for the pontoon boat was discussed. As currently it was not ski club property. Dan Bojan offered to donate it to the ski club. Dream development also offered to donate the motor to the club. The club felt there was a need for the boat, and accepted the donation, and thereby agreed to incur the cost of re-finishing the deck. The previous owners of the Ski Nautique donated the remaining "gas kitty" to the club to be used in re-finishing the deck.

The question of insurance was raised. Since it is less expensive for an individual to insure an object, the boat will remain in Dan's name. Dan will get a quote for liability on the boat.

If a port-o-potty is to be rented next year, it should be the responsibility of those who want it, since several members now have homes with actual working toilets.

The budget was presented. At this time, no dues are required.

President: Dan Bojan

Scott May has been in contact with Munson Marine regarding the wakeboard tournament discussed at the October meeting. Munson's is receptive to a weekday tournament for a lake rental fee of $500, however they feel they could offer us more for a weekend. The club generally felt that the weekday tournament should be tried first, with future consideration to a weekend tournament.

The location and existence of a community dock was discussed. It is expected that given the distribution of boats for the following year that most skiing will be done off of lots 1, 3, and 4. There is a desire however to have a "community" dock where members of the community can go for social purposes. Fred stated that Dream Development plans to "finish" the bay, and that the community dock should be located there.

The ski club must approve all boats on the lake. Fred presented an example of a boat he was shopping for. It is in excess of 30 feet, and has a cabin suitable for temporary residence. OK, it’s a yacht! There was discussion to determine the club's views on the boat. Fred then moved that he be allowed to place such a boat on the lake with the stipulation that it will not be operated such as to form a wake, and that it will be docked near his lot so as to remain somewhat hidden from view. Additionally the decision to allow the boat will be re-visited in two years. The motion was seconded and approved by a 4 to 3 majority. The absentee ballots were then added and recounted by hand and the final outcome was 6 for, 3 against, and 1 abstain. Motion passed.

Meeting was adjourned at 17:15.
