SENIOR REPORT.....Marlene Colleen stated they are still having coffees 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month and on the 4th Thursday at noon they have lunch. Different people come at different days but turnout has been good.

YOUTH COMMITTEE........There have been no volunteers for the float or suggestions. Kathy is asking

people to get involved in the community so we can get some attention from the city. Crystal has a date of Sunday, July 25 for Valley Fair. The bus would leave at 9:00 am and return about 7:00 pm. Adults are welcome. She has estimated about 120 people. Crystal thinks the cost of the buses may be higher because of the price of gas. Marge suggested that lunches be provided for the children that go to Valley Fair. Discussion took place on what and ways to provide lunch for the children. Joe Morgan made a motion to allow $5,000.00 ticket, bus, and lunch for children going to Valley Fair. Don Kogler seconded. Motion passed.

Marge made a motion for $500.00 for youth committee in addition with the Cans for Kids money for the Pig Roast. Don Kogler seconded. Motion passed.

DOCK REPORT.........Marge said that old docks in the channel could be left in during the winter. Mike

informed us that per DNR, it does not matter if docks stay in or not, the decision is up to the center. Mike stated that some docks are in the correct location per number but some spaces have been changed and do not correspond with lot no. Mike said that people will have to move dock if not in correct spot or get new location/number. Marge explained that the membership no and dock no are not the same numbers and some people may have been confused by this. Ann suggested that the old docks should be removed and we need to check out the legal issues or liability and we should check with attorney on this issue. Dick B. stated this is a personal property issue. Dick B. suggested the center lease shoreline space. Marge stated this was not legal. It was suggested that the dock rules and regulations be posted in the newsletter. It was also suggested that effective next year when the dock spaces and membership payments are due, that if the money is not received or dock space clean and in repair, that person forfeits their space and can be given to another party, if no paid or requirements met by deadline, **no exceptions**. Tara informed us that Kathy has spoken with the attorney and is working on the legal issues. Laura is working on new forms for the dock for next year. There was a question on summer residents only who do not get the information in time to renew by deadline. Laura suggested that parttime residents provide both addresses to the committee so that residents receive information in time, also it is ok to pay ahead for more than one year. Dick Bullock was concerned that a party may sue the center if they are not given a dock space and that there is a shortage of dock spaces. Mike told him that there are several spaces available. George Paavola is working on getting the post and markers for the dock spaces.

SITTING PARK......Marlene made a motion to have $500.00 to purchase dirt, trees, plants, etc. for

the park. Joe seconded. Motion passed. She will contact Bill from the Park Board to see if the Scouts will help with the work. The location of the park is on the corner Lincoln and Birch and the city of East Bethel is loaning this area to the center.

LAKESHORE CLEANUP............Dan Thayer has been working on the hill center side and lakeshore.

Lakeshore and Dogwood needs to fixed up also. Joe made a motion to place on hold this area. It was mentioned that a silt fence should be used . There is also an issue with Dogwood and Forest. Kathy did find out from the city attorney that Dogwood and Forest do not have to be kept open.

SEWER/WATER MEETING............Kathy said the meeting went well and H&S Associates is searching for

grant money.
