not on Paul Murphy hi okay affirmed got it all right couple minor changes now moving along conservation update yes it starts with an noi for 166 Berkshire
Avenue proposal to demolish the existing house and construct a new one basically on the same footprint is continued and we did a site visit this past THS
Monday one of those days and they do want to there's eight trees on the waterfront side of the house that they want to remove them all probably not going what
they uh but it was continued it's a nice project6 okay I know where that that the number again 16 166 it's got the is that a carport yeah yeah I I don't think there's anybody in it right now I think
that's the house that's sits down they haven't plowed the driveway well it was partially plowed okay because we we walk down the driveway okay sure because I looked down it was dark uh last time I went through you know all
right uh yeah there's more uh 32 Beach Road uh certificate of compliance we gave that one we had to have them remove the steps that gone down to the lake and the actual step went into the lake we asked them to remove the final steps
that went into the lake and they they didn't did that you approved the uh variance for the the dock at 110 Mountain Road one we've done for years I thinkc proved it already 4110 I think 4010 4010 yeah not
too far from Mike's house yeah uh okay we had on the agenda make the decision on whether we're going to charge the Connecticut residents or not and at that time we knew the
contract uh uh was looking good and it has since been approved ah but signatures have not taken place okay the select board from steepfield approved it on the fifth
unanimously so that was good news so we won't be charging the resid so we continue on and they'll increase the amount yeah okay yeah that's good new that is good news and also what's included in that contract although I have not seen the verbiage is
that uh I will be the leason they can speak to any any item on their agenda because today or any it has to do with the link yeah good and so far I haven't been able to yep you to hand in my
questions that's good so that's good and they'll have a rep that can come visit us on anything to do with the life is it goingon to be a rotating r or the same person I hope they have the same person that would make sense preferably
somebody that you know lives on if they have anybody on their concom that lives on the lake I don't know okay excuse me one sec Norm I couldn't hear you that well did you say then that subfield now is going to pay more money than they had in the past yes they're going to stagger
it up to the the final figure that they should have paid us with all the docks that had counted last year say that again what are they going to pay they're gonna it's going to stagger up by year just like the old one did until it
reaches the price they should have paid for the number of boats and docks that we counted last year okay okay so they'll be paying their fair share before too long yeah that's good and that comes from the town not the residents right right correct right
okay Brookshire Avenue the land that was donated to the city where we have stopped uh that process the deed has got some apparently got some issues related to it and we're not going to pursue that
anymore unless the current owners resolve the yeah yeah who ons what where okay report from the subfield concom meetings there have been two of them since our last meeting the project
at 623 forest was approved I had submitted my list of questions the contractor went down each question one for one which I was very pleased with there's one open issue they they have a boardwalk that
according to the sketch I could not tell if it was over the water or not because I couldn't ask the questions okay uh the land owner said that they had a permit from Conservation
Commission for their docks so I'll look at the sketch when I have a chance to see what's see if you can figure out what it is yeah I think it's over the water seems to me I remember over the water whose house is that whose house is
that 623 it's it's up from you for maybe five houses Which Way North what the sandbox and what are they trying to do they're gonna they're going to take
down trees they're going to put down a new uh Granite walkway they're going to tear down the shed put up a new shed uh put in a new patio a lot of
work 623 huh 623 okay then 407 Lake View uh at the last meeting was approved for retaining wall that uh they answered my questions
to the good part the contractor was there and he happens to be a member of a Conservation Commission from a different good city in in s in Connecticut so he understood the issues and the law will be done to the standards that the
conservation our conservation wants so we're making good Headway there and then uh one other thing to report I think I can report this Ellen I I hope I'm not out of line uh Julie in the conservation office does not have
the time to handle the lpp program so our own Ellen kurd has agreed to try to do it so she'll be handing up Ellen is that been finalized with uh naen because I sent her an email and I copied
you on it alen Ellen you must be muted muted oh she's muted okay there we go um yeah I figured out ours with Sabrina and she was going to talk I think to naen
and figure out when I was going to start so I'm just still waiting to hear back from Sabrina okay okay great yeah and that is the concom update you want to them pick up
D Master BRS yeah if you want you can go ahead on the master plan okay can I interrupt there real quick no yeah that um are you now be going to be able to send out the sheets for the docks and the boats that to the Connecticut side
now that you know that Connecticut's paying I haven't received anything they normally go out school vacation week in Massachusetts yeah I don't know that was always dictated by that's when um oh because Jean could do them
then Jean had the time off because of her she was a bus driver she was the superintendent of bus of buses yeah but you did both nobody got them yet that I know did you guys get one you guys nobody got them no they haven't G out there well there was one other concom
update that I forgot to give 107 May Flower in Suffield was given permission to cut lily pads I saw that man 35 feet of of his Shoreline property going out
45 into the lake he will not be removing Roots you'll cut them oh and they'll remove the cuting from the lake is that a turtle cve that's Turtle C it's in the corner yeah okay MSP
MSPCA MPS okay we have put Liaisons in place for all of the lead uh organizations and I the Lea on to l LMC as you would as you would guess and
uh another thing Jason is no longer a member of mic he he decided to withdraw and he's been replaced by Diane Gail from the from the select board okay and so we're prioritizing all
support and leads and I sent out the file for doing the the supports we had already done the lead prioritization last fall and I've already got five inputs back so that's good progress there now
do you want to talk about the erosion one now or you want to wait and do that later I mean later tonight or or now are you talking about you want to do it tonight anyway I do want to do erosion priority tonight do you want to do it no let's do it now yeah okay so everybody
gave an input on on the erosion priority list we got one thing we need to talk about murf only only prioritized five items by doing that he skewed the data from from what
everybody else submitted so either either you prioritize all 12 or you don't get any of them it's my view well maybe he didn't think the other ones mattered well no I do think they matter but they're not they're not important as much as the first five but we've gone
way out of our lane I agree with you we went out of our lane through the ditch and there's a big tree coming I agree with what he's saying I didn't even want to I the first three or four I wanted to put down and then I started looking at
all of the other ones and I started thinking the same way we're just going way out there with a lot of this stuff way too far I think that as a lake committee we're supposed to be worried about safety and here we are again going with what's going on over here here here
and we're just hting every committee this doesn't have anything to do with safe this has to do with erosion okay okay but I think that we go I'm talking about all when you put 11 or 12 questions out there and you're asking about changing you know speed speed
limits on votes and things like that don't worry about erosion that bothers me that you're picking up things like that we discuss this in December early December we changed the questions based upon discussions at our meeting to come
in now and say I don't like the question I'm sorry I can't agree with that we've lost four months it's taken us four months to prioritize this list unbelievable slow just pisses me off well Norm I
still think that we're going out of our lane and I think that he's correct that we keep going further and further out of our lane with what we're doing so I mean I'm all for stopping erosion but when you start throwing things in there like
speed limits on boats I think that that you gota that is it we're we're a great Pond and they have speed limits end of story you can't regulate the type of boat a person buys voters have
rights number one okay well I I would add though that that is true but there's there's precedents in other water bodies in the United States that have banned certain types of boats because of erosion and
high the high wake uh so it is it has been done um it I know of no State van anywhere Eric uh did a lot of research on that but because Eric has a boat that has you know battle staks I have a boat
that has battle stanks Mike has a boat that has ballast stanks I mean half the committee probably has a boat that has ballast stanks so that's another thing that's what you're you're talking about here Bo with balance things Eric does a lot of water the
question says consider okay I answer I did all yes you did all it says we're we're going to consider doing and prioritize in other words rank them that
was the I did do that so yeah and and everybody did um except for murf so so why don't you put his first five down or do you just think that they're on here the first five are on here I'm good with that okay that that I
don't think it being unfair to your votes your votes your votes and my votes either you vote for all 12 or you don't vote for any we shouldn't be addressing these issues can I make one comment
yes yeah and and I'm not sure if this is the right time to make the comment or not and I did fill out that list and I think you've gotten my list Norm that's the one I gave to you dick yes on yeah it's on page 12 right I'm sure it's been done I
believe it was done in in any event we keep saying uh even the first question I think was something about uh erosion erosion is is the big issue here why don't we then look at this from a
different angle why don't we attempt to change the level of the lake from the 2244 or 2243 whatever it is and try to bring the lake down three or four lousy inches
which I believe can be accomplished and if you had the lake down to 224 because a lot of times is it 2245 2246 kind of a thing 90% of these issues would go away because we wouldn't have
the erosion problem that we're having today well and and you know just in all fairness our biggest problem that we have right now is that we have no place to get rid of the water um he's got a
good point you know so it's a good thing to do but it's not doable wait a minute I believe that between Malcolm Mike and myself in a 10day period next summer spring call it the
spring we'll say I believe that as long as it's not super wet down below us over a 10day period we could drop the level of the lake three or four inches uh by a mechanical means that we could accomplish ourselves I I got to start
speaking up here my part of the lake I have a water shortage I don't have a bit of erosion I have a shortage of water when I when I came into my property the mean lake level was 225.
one it's substantially lower now it's cost me two props already I'm not willing to keep paying for props but it's at nominal right now we're going to stay here we don't need to be any low the Lake's been here 14,000 years and
nobody's nobody's taken the water out of the lake it's an experiment and I don't believe it should happen well how did we hand handle that years ago when we were dropping the level of the lake 10 and 12 inches every summer we went on
thatal right the farm was the farmers the farmers taking stuff pum huge all 10 10 and 12 Ines so so should we so should we leave the level of the lake High to continue with erosion to satisfy a half
a dozen uh dock situations versus the other 300 why should you take the water from us we're already in a critical situation it cost me money when I bang my prop thank God I haven't lost a lower
end I mean I can organize what I just had to they drop I get start sneezing with them doesn't your boat have power trim I hate to say that to you but I I agree with Scotty he's talking about you know 99% of the lake is having erosion
problems and all we have to do is drop the lake down three inches and we straighten the whole thing out um the other thing Norm is that if you take him off completely off theist on that than everybody's other
everybody's would be the votes would be nominal let's just say if he took them off the list those five because he didn't answer the other ones do you want to fill in the other do you want to fill the other ones in toight or or he doesn't really want I don't believe we
should address these situations I'm definitely not for lowering the lake a half an inch I don't want to lose any more water I had a reasonable expectation when I bought my property that the lake level
would State basically where it is it was an expanded Great Pond at that time and now we've gotten rid of the the granite barriers and we have the Weir Gates that's all well but we keep the lake in
a nominal area well we do I do me and Mike and Scotty are the on we keep it right there and that was a compliment and that's only the last couple of years we've kept it right there there's been years that it's been up 6 in or down down you know so but I think that with all
the erosion issues that's a problem and I out my neighbor's dock isn't even in the water you want to go three inches on top of that that's well that's not trying and on the flip and on the flip side people
like malol Mike and myself are killing ourselves attempting to keep the water even as where where it is it's crazy crazy got to get rid of the Beavers got to get the wear Gates opened up got the only and the only way we're
really going to get rid of the Beavers is to is to dredge it because they will not populate when if it goes back to its original 9 feet minimum Deep by 15 ft minimum wide they will not build in in that water they'll build in shallow
water but and that's the problem right now is the little buggers will as fast as you get rid of them they they build new dam there's two huge dams down there I was down there yesterday right now so you're not there's no water management you could do whatever you want with the wear Gates 600 yards down there's a wall
there's a wall that is got at least an 8 foot drop and then as soon as you get down towards the other side of Cannon Brook when it comes in there's another one with a 6 to 8 inch drop so you're talking almost a foot drop between Fel Road and the wear Gates yeah so that's
with those two so the wear Gates don't even matter right now I think we should just pen put this erosion stuff off to the side because this is just turning into a old hornet nest unless you have a better idea it's almost 7:30 and we haven't gotten yeah let's let's keep
moving we're not going to solve it tonight what else you got that's it all right we keep plugging away at it no what Bo and the planning board are
going to demand that we take the actions in from the master plan seriously and act on it just delaying them delaying them delaying them and we're going to look like crap because we're not participating what do you think we
should do right now if he doesn't want to answer this I'm GNA take him off the list I don't think if he can't follow the rules I don't think you have that power to take me off the list member of the committee but murf would you go back
and fill in the others I don't believe I want to see any water taken out of the lake but then you but then you put those as as you know number 12 and number 11 or zeros well no the zeros
not he's missing a 12 he's missing 11 a 10 nine and eight a seven right and a six those skew the numbers they do skew the numb I can I can run the numbers um we can do the same thing and
run the numbers with those out just to see if what's the impact I already did that did you I already did what's it due to the to the change which two you know I'm curious you know maybe maybe it
becomes almost a moot point no changes up to around nine and 10 well that's not too bad because that's down at the bottom anyway um but it's unfair to allow someone to only do five and put zeros in for the other
seven unfair we have other you know why didn't you speak up in December when we were fighting over this we have other agencies that have laws that mirror the things that are on here these people have already done their job Norm it's in
here well so we don't stay on this all night are you willing to go back and and put the give numbers for the others I won't put a number on anything that takes water out of the lake and we shouldn't even be addressing voting
ISU we can't of Lake down to the 224 three or four it's crazy I want a 2251 I want to see the lake level increase but the lake you have to make decisions based upon the whole population not a small population you
got to wear the big hat I'm here erosion is a major issue and you're saying you don't want to do anything from North Pond here but you have to represent the whole lake you don't just represent North Pond well in the past I've been told it's
good that we have somebody from North Pond to represent them I'm doing just that all right so what we can do is put another column on here with and without that data and see
what it see what it does so we can all look at it it may not be lose another month there lose another month you could do it via email right how how about we take the voting issues out of the equation you should have done that in December not in
February wow when you put it like this Norm the only thing you haven't addressed is when the people can use their votes finally we haven't this list is things to investigate doesn't mean we're going to
do them we have to thoughtfully think about each one of them and that's right and that's why to to prioritize them um you know it's not to do them it's to rank them that's all is it's ranking them and if you put a high number on it
you know it's it's out there you know we have to we have to understand that as hard as Dick's working on dredging it's not going to happen for a few years in the interim we're going to have erosion going to have climate change that comes in here
the L's going to be up the L's going to be down and with those damn beavers you're limited on what you can do well I'm I'm all for addressing the beaver situation and addressing the problem on the canal I don't have a problem with
that but unfortunately the beaver situation is not solvable by taking a few of them out you know it's it they come back as fast as they take out a a dam they're to two days later right they're back okay do
this yeah but there's so many of them and they're only going to populate more right I think we're beating a dead horse guy here so let's you have anything else we need to go over because you haven't even really started no let's keep going okay all right so the next next
thing uh CR oh we missed um CRC update we did mspc mpsc CRC Michelle M hi uh so we had our first um board meeting of 2025 and I wanted to report that the
board voted on um requesting that the Harbor Master work with the uh select board and LMC together uh on any issues that affect the health and safety on the lake it
just makes sense um that it's you know lmc's mission statement to address the health of the lake and safety on the lake so that they should be involved in decisions um understanding the Harbor Master or the select board could Trump those decisions but at least they should
be consulted and um we would like those three entities to be working together so that was a unanimous um vote by our board are you sending anything to the select board and Harbor Master on that yes we'll beend request copy me
yeah we'll do um we um typically invite for our first meeting it's a select board member from Southwick and from Southfield to come and Report out on um anything that's coming up anything that are relevant to the lake and so that's
uh going to be our April meeting and our May meeting will be Eric discussing the health uh of the lakes and doing his annual report and then I think that um June hopefully will be Lake safety as a
part of that and I don't know if you guys have this on your agenda or not but we've had this for a while now keeping watch on the Boer safety certificate uh requirement and that finally has passed and from the Hansen act it's been turned into I believe it's Hansen Milton or
Hansen Malone act or something like that actually there's a copy of it in the in the handout yeah that I emailed everybody yep so that's gonna you know it's a it's a good long while that people have to get that make that happen um but we are hoping to be able to have
somebody maybe speak at one of our meetings about that and what that would entail and maybe um you know put some things into motion to help people get that and put it into place but I think and Deb you can um refresh my memory I think folks that are you know of our age
have until like 2026 uh to make that happen to do what they need it's stag yeah yeah I do I have one thing to add to that Michelle is that I'm going to find out there's a lot of a self-included that have taken I've taken
it actually multiple times and and got certificates multiple times because I'm there part of it and so I'm gonna make a a reach out to the uh captain of the
epos and find out or I'll I'll go to the the uh director and find out what what do those uh certificates that we got what do they mean are they valid for the sake of you know for for this I
sure hope so I think they are that's what I've heard but I want to hear it from the because they're already you get reciprocity with other states with the on we have now right but I want to find out did that piece of paper that we got you know the little card cover
right I feel like when I researched it initially there was a lot of language in there and again I don't know like once it went through the legislative process what got left in and what got taken out yeah I do think there was that definitely that reciprocity piece was discussed so if you had a another St
yeah y yeah um so uh we did review um Norms the master plan um to-do list for CRC and um Norm correct me if I'm wrong the two different levels are really pretty much the same for us right there's the issue we're working on with
concom the issue with LC and all that those are kind of the same for us right yeah in terms of the primary and then the the sub so we we reviewed those we didn't vote on them we were missing a few members people needed some time to digest them um but there was definitely
Clarity in terms of what we believe that our Focus would be uh so we'll vote on that for our next meeting in uh March okay very good thank you yep umse no those were the main pieces really I think for us we uh definitely are
looking for someone to replace Deb who is irreplaceable um but someone uh that would be able to stand in for um see representative we'll be putting that out there as well and membership Drive starts next month so everybody will be getting things for that okay yeah thank
you all right so moving on uh we're on the 141 and I can just give a quick summary of what's going on uh with the gem Marena and where it stands right now uh we were again we were surprised here
and and we discussed at the last meeting uh that we were not involved at all and it got signed off it's okay to go add add those docks back we were not even consulted not even aware of it that this
was going on until it was on the I saw it I Spott it on the uh planning board agenda and picked it off of there and then read it and then asked some questions what was going on I finally got a copy of what was going on so you have that you have the letter that the
chief that the chief Harbor andh Harbormaster wrote approving it and then you have what was input to him back in uh November so we didn't learn about that until
January and so we had a meeting on Wednesday it was Eric myself uh the chief and Doug moglin and we went over this whole thing and we did you what I did give you and
if you go to uh I've got a couple of the color ones here you can look at and you've got the same yeah you've got the same thing on page 28 okay there's
the I took the time to lay out that bow tie thing is the viewing angle so that one can see it's the angle that is where you are visible where you can look through the tunnel and see what's on the other side and it's pretty narrow as you
can see uh out at at uh 200 ft it's only about 20 something feet wide and so you know it's it's kind of it's it's around the length of a boat but if you keep in mind that boats are
the boat operator is on the right hand side looking so they have to align themselves and be able to look through the tunnel and see if it's clear if there's anything coming through from the other side and often there's you get
where there's a couple of them you know if one comes through another one follows and maybe another one follows it's like the northpond one once you get the the chain going you get a bunch going it's a mess over there so at any rate we we
discussed this um Doug is going to meet with uh Ken Egleston and the suggestion we had a couple suggestions we would like to have the the additional ones not added back because we did not get two years of
operation of the restaurant and the uh and the marina together and The Way It Was Written it was two years of operation but the whole intent there was two years of looking at what happens with boats that are coming in and out
from from the marina part as well as from the the restaurant and what he wants to do is those that box that's on the end there he wants to put those back and that box represents four boats so the outer edge
of that box is the outside edge of two boats that are on the end of the spur do and he wants to move he wants to use those for rental so now that's that could be
problematic there anyway because it's it's labeled as trangent on the permit you know on the license so I don't know you know not a lot of thought went into going y barely it's okay
uh and so Doug is going to go have a discussion with them and see if there's something we can do at the very least we said leave off the boats on the outside of those fingers if they had the two fingers back and the problem that was
flagged was if you look at the bottom dock which is the uh rental dock the in in spur either side it's in shallow water and you can you know you only have a a foot foot
and a half two feet of water well you can put boats that are on the on the outer side of that but he's not populating it if you judiciously rent to ones that don't draw a lot of water and put them on the
inside and the same thing's going to happen by the way with the marina up on at 81 point Grove because of that that uh beaver beaver Lodge so when you rent spaces you have to look at what are you
putting there and you put them so that the one that's a flat bottom that only draws 10 inches of water or something like that yeah put them on the inside so or or a boat with power
trim trim right right now the uh the meetings where they NE NE iated those four docks out yeah they were all recorded they were all what recorded oh yeah oh yeah so if there's questions
there we can refer back but it's the the issue was it was done for two years to look at it for two years two years are up because it was 2023 but they only operated the restaurant since mid 2024 so the police people agree to this
though back then it was different Chief right yeah well the police chief now just agreed to it did he agreed to it so then why are we are we going to just fight the police chief now Doug's going back Doug's going back the three of the four of us sat together all right so that's where it stands so we don't have
to beat Dead so good all right so moving along uh then we we got and we presented everything you see there that uh those five pages from from uh Eric and I assemble
that so then the next thing is the new boting regulations and you've got the whole the whole thing and that takes you all the way through to page 70 you can read that at your leisure but it basically says
everybody's going to have to have eventually have uh a certificate that you took the course and passed it right so uh I don't know if anybody has any any questions on that I am going like I said I'm going to follow up with
the epos and find out absolutely are the uh certificates that we got in those classes valid as certificates to satisfy this requirement I I've got a question dick U
yeah is this something you can do online or is it g to be classro I don't know the answer to that because if it's a if it's online a classroom can the town of Southwick put something together that the lake residents can all take this class at one time well that's what we
done it's done by the environmental police it's not us we have nothing to do with it but that's a good idea because people I took it in 72 in PL I couldn't even tell you if I have it so now I'm wondering if I don't even have a have
the certificate yeah with the four of us and I like I said I've had three certificates and I don't know if I can find any one of wondering like they online yeah if they put it online that's a good idea you could just take it yeah so I'm gonna I'm going to pick some brains on that one see it's three night
long course yeah is that what it is yeah but I mean if you do it online you can do it whenever you want then take the test but I think that like that's what we do for our C stuff at work where you have to do it all in order yeah it's well I have to say okay
you know we're all right uh okay so and the next next thing uh was NRC let me back to my agenda here uh because we had a bunch of things that
that I wound up skipping over because we got into the sub into that subject uh the Great Brook clearing and dredging the nrcs consultant work where it stands right now is they have they've got the consultant on board the consultant is
doing a a uh a plan a work statement that it'll be a very detailed work statement as to what they would do and how much it will cost because they are already under contract with with uh it's par P engineering and they are uh they
don't have to go out for bid nrcs does not have to go out to bid it's that's already done so uh all they have to do is get a work statement from Park but part two of that is the stuff that's going on in Washington right now with taking away money from everything uh it
it may or may not impact that it may or may not impact the other one which is the hydrilla and we've been we've been talking daily about it I'm conversing with the nrcs and with uh DCR about those two items and they they get a yes
and then they get a no then they get a yes and they get a no so uh I do not know you know it's it's a jump ball right now so but hope um and the the Coen shallow area
dredging the one that we did not get the grant um our state senator Paul Mark has put in a 500K earmark and he's following that and trying to get us 500,000 to do
that work we still have the 100K the CPC funds to buffer it if we need it so there's if he gets that we actually have 600 100K available to do that job nrcs is very appreciative that we get that done because that's at the headquarters
of Great Brook you know so it's part of uh and I explained that to to our Senator um we've been exchanging emails so uh at any rate let's hope that keeps
going and they we already hit the new boting uh certification regulation which you have the whole thing um 196 Berkshire Avenue lpp variants and that's that's funny because
that's that huge beaver hut that got built where they took out the beaver hut what a year ago roughly yeah yeah and this is bigger than the one that was there and not only is it in the water but they engulfed the poor the that
family's dock is now part the beaver the Beaver Lodge I mean significant part of it yeah that's and and a lot the trees across the way on the on the uh boat ramper part of it disappearing because they've been taking those so uh I don't
know what's going to happen with the Beaver Lodge that's there that's not really up to us that's that's uh between 81 and 196 but she's asking for a variance to allow to leave the dock in
she's got no way to take it out so uh I don't see how we could deny that and I all I want to do is get a vote quick here a motion that we accept that variance that allows her to leave that dock in there she can't even use the end
of it and you know when they deal with what to do with that Beaver Lodge that's when we'll find out but she want she just wants to be able to leave it in over the winter could we make it contingent upon uh progress with the beber watch that's
not her doing in other words she's a victim of it she's not she can't she can't tell them to leave well they never listen they never listen anyway and they don't pay taxes exactly somebody's AC working getting
rid of the Beavers right yeah doesn't it go with Airbnb and we're gonna have a problem with there'll be another problem with 81 because he's that whole row of uh Spurs that are out there in that area
can't use them I mean they engulfed the whole damn end of the dock so do you need a motion a motion I'll make a motion so that we can she can leave her docking yeah and a second I'll second we have a lot of seconds here we
go all in favor iOS abstain unanimous I gotta go run down real quick Norm chever Mike kums hi Malcolm debay hi Dick Gran's I Scotty Graves hi
Deb harth hi uh Paul Murphy hi affirmed okay we're done with that one and moving right along come on separate it um Now Chelsea Pratt who was our our
uh ramp supervisor for last year for 2024 has resigned from that because she does not have the time to put into it and uh Ellen herd who is our secretary is is interested in that she's been a
ramp attendant for Ellen I think watch four or five years somewhere in there uh she's yeah and interested in in that position uh we've already been discussing it with naen and she said yes
she can you know so good and it's good very familiar with everything that we do there so naen is is working on the paperwork I asked naen if she needs anything else from me and she said no not right now she let me know so and you already heard that she's also gonna be
helping with the lpp which is is great I think that's uh and another thing that happened I want to say very positive thing that happened is they're going to a folder every single address on the lake because
what happened before is they just got stored as pieces of paper uh and and didn't have a home and you and in order to look up what happened a year before or you had to go rumaging through a year rather than
looking at a at a folder so that's that's one of the things another thing I had suggested to uh Sabrina is that when they the next time they for next year because they want to get away from having to have
people fill out the form that shows the the diagram of how the docks are laid out and put a statement on the bottom that you have to sign that there are no changes and you're basically saying I have not changed it if you find out that
it's changed after the fact you know now you're subject to fines so uh that will make things a lot easier in the future yeah because they don't have to draw it each time they don't have to draw it each time so that takes care of that
um and we've already kind of talked about the LMC being consulted on all issues impacting congan Waters and we discussed that at the at that meeting that that uh Eric and myself
