Web Page

· Greg Bruce reported to Rhys and June that he read an anonymous posting on our web page chat room about people being on the island who were not trustworthy and that names were named and accusations were made that may or may not be true. It was decided that Greg should remove this information from the web page

Treasurers Report

· June and Sally are signed up for the savings account at Island Bank and Sally has asked Diane Noble to close out our ING account

Fire Protection

· Rhys suggested that we purchase two new engines for the two fire wagons. Rhys said he would look into pricing them out for the best buy. $600.00 per engine was suggested as a price for each engine

· Rhys reported that the Prevost pump is jammed up with salt and needs work. Steve offered to take it home for the winter and work on it

· Rhys offered to check into getting a new portable pump with wheels on it so it could be moved and kept in the hangar with some hose for fire fighting

Burn Pile

· Donations of $150.00 have been given to burn stumps

· Permits for the burn will be left up to Mark Green

· The new sign by the pile seems to be working and no trash has been noted in the pile

June asked Sally about the lot number map she was working on. Sally said it is about done and that she didn’t need any help.

Sally said that she has the contact list done, but will not mail out a new one this year due to mailing costs and that there were only a couple of changes.

Our annual meeting for 2013 will be May 26^th. Our board meeting will be at 8:30am on May 26^th

A discussion was held again about the dock and what the DNR may or may not do about it. Some past history was brought up about our dock, but so far no records can be found about permits and so forth. Right now it is what it is.

The meeting was called to adjourn at 12:30 PM
