The Committee requested that each Board committee chairman draw up
a list of the duties, tasks and responsibilities that are pertinent
to their job on the Board, to be printed in a guide for current
and new Board members.
ILLEGAL DUMPING - Hurckes - The committee will

FACILITIES
ENGINEER - Mark Webster - Spending time cleaning out culverts. The
fluoride pump at the Water Plant was replaced and re-calibrated.
EPA
mandates we must have an Emergency Response Program, to cover all
aspects of LIA operations. This has been prepared, and copied
into six binders, located as follows: LIA office; Water Plant;
pool; LIA truck; Char Mott; Board President Dave Hildenbrand.
OLD
BUSINESS
Pursley - Aquatic Weed Control maintains it treated the
fishing lake twice a month, May through September, in 2005, for the
contracted price of $3,200. Members living on the fishing lake
dispute this statement. The company will be required to sign
off with a resident member for each treatment, and submit a written
report of inspections and treatments.
COPIER - Discussion
held in the past concerning need for a new copier machine. Suggestion
that a firm, Copier World, sells re-built copiers with same warranty
as a new machine.
WATER TOWER - Webster stated the tower did
not get drained down this fall to permit inspection to determine any
need for repair. It will be drained down in early Spring, and
at that time the interior will be power washed, and inspected
for needed repairs.
NEW BUSINESS -
Hildenbrand asked if LIA has
any building regulations concerning retro-installation of geo-thermal
heating systems for existing homes, and whether LIA would require
a building permit. LIA building regulations do not address
this new situation, and the Rules and Regulations Committee
was asked to add it to their agenda.
Weight limit restriction
signs on LIA roads are posted for February 1 through April 30.
Mark Webster uses his discretion for date of lifting the restriction
earlier, if conditions permit. Utilities, fire trucks, and school
buses are exempt from these limits, but garbage pick-up, construction
deliveries, and other over-weight delivery vehicles are
not.
COMMENTS-QUESTIONS
Night-time walkers on LIA roads are urged
to wear reflective items of clothing or carry flashlights, to avoid
accidents. Several drivers have reported frightening near-misses
of walkers at night.
A member voiced concern that the September, 2005 issue
of the Arrowhead was the last issue to contain the following financial
statements, which members are entitled to receive, and which are
of interest to many: General Fund, YTD; General Fund Reserve,
YTD; Water & Wastewater Fund, YTD; and Water &
Wastewater Reserve Fund, YTD. He asked that these financial
reports be restored to the monthly mailings in the Arrowhead.
Motion
to adjourn at 9:06 p.m.
Next LIA Board meeting February 9, 2006 at
7:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Norma Matson, Secretary
