Minutes:

Secretary Kelly Heath read a summary of the minutes from the meeting held September 16, 2020. Motion to approve the minutes as summarized by President Tom Tallman, seconded by Al Krupski and carried.

Treasurer's Report:

Treasurer Linda Tallman read the Treasurer’s report. The following account balances were reported:

Checking Account: $2,563.58

Raffle Account: $75.00

Choice Certificate of Deposit: $108,198.65

Special Certificate of Deposit: $47,151.81

Total cash on hand: $157,989.04

Treasurer Tallman also noted in her report that the LCWA Savings Account at the Dime Bank has been closed due to a minimum balance requirement of $500.00, which will accrue a service charge if the $500 minimum balance is not maintained on a daily basis. Due to the fact that the current Savings Account interest rate is so low, it was determined that it is in the best interest of the Association to transfer the remaining balance in the Savings Account to the Checking Account and be used for operating expenses. A motion to approve the Treasurer’s Report was made by Secretary Kelly Heath, seconded by Gary Miller and carried.

Old Business:

Employees of Reilly & Associates, LCWA’s contracted engineering service, have been out of the office due to the COVID-19 pandemic and have not been returning phone calls. The situation as it stands is that DEP has returned the last submitted redesigned plan to DEP from Reilly & Associates citing thirty- nine (39) deficiencies. This is the third time LCWA has submitted a plan to DEP from our engineering firm and the third time it has been rejected for deficiencies.

LCWA is reapplying for a grant that will significantly lower our costs in obtaining the necessary performance bond. Our prior rejection was based upon the fact that Honesdale lacked a FEMA Plan.

The height of the dam is currently twenty-seven feet. The retaining wall near the spillway will need to be increased due to the amount of dirt needed for the earthen dam. DEP is also requiring that a pipe be installed at the rear of the dam to allow excess water to drain. It must be encased in concrete that goes through the Narrows of the Lake at a depth of 20 ft. There was then a discussion regarding the responsibility for each aspect of the dam. It was stated by a member that the Army Core of Engineers is responsible for the flow of the water and the DEP is responsible for the buildings.

A reminder was given that the third and final Dues/Special Assessment payment of $500.00 was due May 31 st . Members were asked to remind their neighbors if they haven’t sent in their payment to please try to get it in to avoid legal action. LCWA has had recent success through litigation as opposed to obtaining liens.

New Business:

Linda Tallman stated that the LCWA website had to be redesigned as Go Daddy was no longer supporting the program that we had. Upon recommendation from one of our Officers, an individual was hired to design a new website for us for a mere cost of $300.00. It was then noted that Mr. and Mrs. Tallman donate the cost and maintenance of the website to the Association.

A member of the Association was allowed the floor to lodge a formal complaint regarding an ongoing problem she and other community members have been having with a resident of Lakeside Drive. She claims the property owner fails to maintain his properties and this issue presents hazardous conditions and collectively lowers each member’s property value, given that property values have been significantly climbing in recent months. This resident is apparently housing hazardous materials on two lots that he owns. This is exacerbated by the fact that the properties are located in two townships, Texas and Cherry Ridge. In the past when complaints have been filed, they were filed in one of the two townships and citations were served by the responding authority. The owner then complied by moving the unsightly hazard to the adjacent lot, which still poses a threat to our Lake and its wildlife. A petition to the corresponding Townships was then made available for members to sign. It will be presented at upcoming meetings of Cherry Ridge and Texas Township in an attempt to urge both townships to join forces and stop him from using this loophole. From there it will be taken to the County Commissioners, if needed. Signing of the petition commenced after adjournment.

Adjournment:

There being no further business to come before the meeting, President Tom Tallman called for adjournment at 12:20 PM.

Respectfully Submitted:

A motion to approve the Treasurer’s Report was made by Kelly Heath, seconded by Dan Guinther and carried.

Dues Reminder: It was noted that May 31,2021 was the deadline for the third and final installment of the $500.00 Special Assessment assigned to Lake Cadjaw residents to share in the cost of funding the dam repair. A reminder was given that every effort should be made to bring any past due accounts current as soon as possible. It was also suggested that reminders be given to neighbors that the Association will do what it can to work with anyone to prevent legal action. Restoring the dam is our goal.

Dam Update: There is a possibility that the Dam will require a pipe installation through the narrows and to the south of the water body to facilitate drainage in the event of an emergency. Currently the engineer is speculating that work will not begin for possibly another year due to Covid delays. We are now waiting for the DEP to approve new plans from the Association’s engineer. When the plans are approved, we will then be able to get a permit and performance bond.

Other Business

Dan Guinther inquired about the possibility of spraying the lily pads in front of his property so that he could go fishing on the lake with his boat. Kelly Heath then volunteered to clean the lily pads out in the narrows with the use of the Association’s equipment.

Treasurer's Report:

The Treasurer’s Report was then given noting cash on hand in the amount of $168,487.31. A motion to approve the Treasurer’s Report as given was made by Kathy Legg, seconded by Lester Stinnard and carried.

Other Business

A discussion on the dam included a mention that FEMA will be adding us to the list of Lake Applicants who are applying for a grant to restore their dams. Tom and Linda Tallman as well as the engineer have been working with the grant. Mr. Tallman recapped what he discussed at the last meeting regarding the dam for a member who was absent from said meeting.

The dam was to be completed by September 2023 but due to the Covid-19 pandemic it is hopeful that this date will be extended for completion of the project. Once a permit is issued, it is generally good for five years.

The slate of Officers was the next order of business. At the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, it was agreed that all current officers will remain unchanged by unanimous vote. Additionally, Mr. Brian Kaltreideo was nominated by Kathy Legg to be added as a Vice President, which was seconded by Mr. Stinnard and unanimously carried.

A discussion regarding Dues for 2022 was then discussed and after a lengthy discussion, a majority vote approved the assessment of $300.00 per lot owner to be paid by May 31, 2022. Lastly, a discussion ensued regarding the hiring of a new solicitor, as it appears that our current Solicitor, Jeffrey Treat, Esq., may be retiring. Kathy Legg agreed to supply some names for consideration.

Adjournment:

The meeting was adjourned at 7:21 by Mr. Tom Tallman as there was no further business to discuss.
