General Discussion

  1. It was disclosed that the minutes of the June meeting had not yet been approved. All mem-
    bers present voted to approve those minutes.
  2. A WLE marina map was distributed for discussion concerning dock replacements. It was
    noted that the marina committee was created in 2015 with random repairs to docks during
    that year. The first Dock, A was replaced in 2016. Since that time (A1), (B), (C), (D), and (E)
    have been replaced. The main and fingers of dock (F) are scheduled to be replaced in 2023
    as well as the (H) to (J) walkway. The cost of installing concrete piers for the walkway was
    discussed and it was communicated that because of their location, they would be expensive
    to install. A suggestion was made to look into installing metal piers. Kathleen will have
    maintenance contact Techno Metal Post Northeast for feasibility and pricing. Docks are
    currently on a ten year replacement program. However, if it is determined that docks re-
    main in good usable condition after 10 years that time frame could be extended and other
    projects could be completed.
  3. The moving, repair or elimination of the marina lighthouse was discussed. It was noted that
    it does not stand out at night to assist boaters and may need extensive repairs. No firm de-
    cision was made.
  4. Pictures of a catamaran on (B) dock were reviewed. Looks to exceed the marina width re-
    strictions. It was reported and being checked on.
  5. It was stated that the wave runner slips have become shabby and consideration should be
    given for replacements.
  6. Budget for 2023 was briefly discussed. Based on the expenses through September there
    doesn’t seem to be a need to adjust slip fees at this time. All expenses for 2022 should be
    included in the November financial report and, therefore, a more informed discussion on
    this matter will be held during the December meeting.

Active Issue

Much discussion was given to the subject of the WLE Board of Directors not providing the
marina committee with the information they need to fulfill their responsibilities under the
marine committee charter. This charter was approved by the board on January 20, 2018. Based
on the boards reluctance to provide the committee with the information required to do their
prescribed responsibilities several committee members questioned the need for a marina
committee.

End Meeting:

  1. Meeting adjourned at 10:33
  2. The next meeting is scheduled for Saturday December 3, 2022 at 9 AM at the Lakeville
    Fire Department Sub Station on Eskra Road.
