Old Business:
It was noted that there is no change in the dam status. A source of perfect soil is still
needed and the plans for repair still need to be approved by the Department of
Environmental Protection.
A reminder was given that dues are due by March 31 of each year currently in the amount of
$300. It was requested that dues be paid promptly or get in touch with the Association to make
payment arrangements.
Volunteers are needed during the warmer months to maintain the dam landscape. It was noted
that the first Sunday in June be set aside for this project.
Other Business
It was noted that Court hearings are still ongoing regarding the residents that are facing legal
action for collection of the Dues/Special Assessment. An update was provided in which it was
noted that approximately six cases in litigation were settled favorably for the Association.
There has been no update as to extending our deadline in terms of the dam restoration. The
timeline appears to have been disrupted by the pandemic and there has been no
communication since. Dam restoration is the only mission in which LCWA is focused at this
time and in the near future. All of its resources are specifically intended for that purpose alone.
If we ultimately achieve our goal, further projects may be explored.
The topic of gas motor boat use on the lake was once again raised and once again tabled for a
future meeting.
There being no further business, President Tallman adjourned the meeting at 7:30 PM
Respectfully Submitted:
Kelly Heath, Secretary
