Review and approval of June 3, 2023 Minutes. Approved with no changes.

Review of Marina Charter. The BOD approved changes to 6 & 7 of Responsibilities. Did not approve 2. Marina Committee approved changes.

Discussion on how to protect docks. The committee is recommending to the BOD that rubber snubbers be required on all bow lines and that a line restrain the boat from the bow or pontoons moving forward and hitting the dock. Recommend that Kathy send out a diagram for this kind of effective slip rigging when the registration notice is sent out.  

Discussion on stolen Waverunner dock this past winter. Committee recommends that the Waverunner docks should be placed first in the parking area and chained together, and then the wood docks placed in front of them to make it harder for them to be removed. Approximately $2600 to replace.

Review of Dock Master. Review of Dock Masters responsibilities. Question was asked who Dock Master reports to; Is it Public Safety or Maintaince? Question came up as to the amount of time required to do all the functions listed, and over what timeframe this should be accomplished. Further discussion is needed. A couple timesheets for the Dock Master will be requested to help assess this.

Possibly a potential ramp fee ($25 per season) was discussed for any WLE member using the ramp that does not pay the annual marina fee with an accompanying sticker or hang tag that must be displayed when using the ramp or being parked at the marina. Further review is required with several questions coming up.

Committee reviewed the current Marina Financial Statements and there was consensus that we seem to be on track to restore the Reserve Fund without raising the marina fee in 2024.

Items that were brought up that require further investigation;

  1. Re-stone Pathways to docks.
  2. Clarify which bolts or rods on docks are breaking.
  3. Preservatives for spraying docks to increase life span of docks.
  4. How the docks were built this year and if someone is going to oversee them next year.
  5. Cameras are still being reviewed and waiting for any recommendations from the new tech committee being formed.
  6. Improve security at docks.
  7. Overflow parking.
  8. Elimination of G-mail account.
  9. Review of 2024 Marina dues and budget.
  10. Replacement
  11. Spray for Wasp before installation of docks in 2024

The next meeting is scheduled for October 7, 2023 at 9:00 AM at the Firehouse.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 AM
