Fred presented the outcome of research he has conducted into fertilizer used in lake communities. He proposed that only fertilizer containing no phosphorous be used. Because the covenants refer back to the ski club for use of fertilizer he suggested this be added to the by-laws. Motion was seconded and approved.

It was pointed out that many people had not seen the by-laws. By-laws are currently controlled by Mike. Mike will transfer the file to Jim Bojan for updating, and posting on the Web.

Tom proposed changes to the ski club rules.

Rule 1.2 currently reads "Changes to and interpretation of these rules will be subject to a majority vote by the ski club (see rule 2.4), except as noted in the by-laws wherein changes to the number of available memberships (see rule 2.1) may only be made by a unanimous vote of the ski club."

Because the by-laws also state a unanimous vote is required to change the policy regarding use of motorized boats, Tom moved a change in rule 1.2 to read "Changes to and interpretation of these rules will be subject to a majority vote by the ski club (see rule 2.4), except as noted in the by-laws".

Motion seconded and approved.

Rule 4.5 currently reads "All boats used on the lake must be approved by the ski club."

Because the ski club wants to inspect each boat prior to putting it in the lake Tom moved to change rule 4.5 to read "All boats used on the lake must be approved and inspected by the ski club."

Motion seconded and approved.

Tom asked for guidelines that would allow a pier to be built without having to present to the ski club. It was noted that an effort was made to do such, however was abandoned because each case is different. Tom then presented a plan for a pier and deck to the ski club. Specific dimensions were not available for the pier, however Tom did have plans for the deck. A discussion ensued regarding the status of a deck. If it was considered landscaping, it did not need approval. If it was considered a structure it would require a vote. Fred consulted the covanances and it was decided to treat it as a structure. A vote was taken and the deck was approved with the stipulations that it would not have permanent windscreens or railings.

Jim Bojan volunteered to draft up some pier guidelines and post them on the Web for discussion purposes.

Scott May proposed a Wakeboard tournament to be thrown by Munson's. Munson's would do all the work, and the club would receive $500. The tournament would be one weekend day near the end of July. Fred counter proposed that Scott approach Munson's regarding a weekday tournament.

Motion seconded and approved.

Dan proposed a 3 event tournament Saturday, August 25^th. Work would be done by Dan, Jim, and Mike with any help from the club appreciated.

Motion seconded and approved.

Tom proposed that the club try a reservation system for weekend skiing. The plan could work where each membership had a half-hour reserved between 7:00 and 12:00. Afternoons would return to a rotation system. The plan was well received by the club, and will be implemented on a trial basis next spring.

Other discussion took place about a starting dock for next year, as well as a system for keeping track of the rotation. Club members were encouraged to give some thought to possible plans. It was noted that the club web site has a forum section that would be good for discussing topics such as this.

Meeting was adjourned at 14:00.
