What did our share of plowing the road up north come to last winter, and who gets the cheque?

SKEIN LAKE ASSOCIATION - annual meeting, Saturday, June 29, 2024, 10:00, town hall. Notes taken by me at Ginger Stauber's request; Jack Niemi is away. To be given to Jack.

Present: 44 households of 53 members. Ginger in the chair.

1. Last year's minutes: approved as mailed.

2. Treasurer (Ray): balance on June 28, $7,118.40. Dues are $85; 50 households have paid for 2024, three have not and will be telephoned. Spent since last June: $340 for the second loon raft, $410 for the August water tests, $265 for printing and postage, $600 toward walleye stocking with the town, $180 for the landing signs. Report accepted.

3. The break-ins last October. Deputy Sara Kivi spoke for fifteen minutes. Three cabins were entered between October 1 and 4. Nobody has been charged. The outboards have not been found. By show of hands, 19 households have put up cameras since.
   Agreed: a list of members' off-season telephone numbers and the dates each place is empty, kept by the secretary and given only to the year-round members who ask. Bev Gustafson, Wayne Pekkala and Jack Niemi agreed to be the three who watch. Motion by Tom Halverson, carried.

4. Loons (Ginger, for Jack): two rafts out this year, the old one off the island and the new one in the east bay. The pair used the east bay raft. TWO CHICKS, hatched June 18 and 19. Floating signs are out; please keep boats 200 feet off.

5. Water: clarity 15 feet last August. No milfoil found at the landing inspection.

6. The landing: the town's new ramp is holding. The dock beside it wants two boards; Wayne will see to it and bill the association.

7. Fireworks on the Fourth: from the Halversons' point as usual, at dusk. Donations to Tom.

8. Officers: all three re-elected.

9. Next meeting: June 28, 2025.

Adjourned 11:20.

- Balance $4,812.67.
- Dues are $75 a household. 44 paid for this year so far.
