Round Table

Bob B. reported that the planned dredging of Kukilakila boat ramp has been canceled. He shared that the Kukilakila Association’s Property Management had a lot of questions and requirements they wanted in place, so the “good neighbor” offer from Goodfellow Brothers to do the work has been declined.

George proposed that we waive the fee for Chaplain Steve Jensen who is a guest member of ELRA as he runs the Wounded Warrior Program which he takes the wounded warriors and their families out on his barge to enjoy the lake. All board members present were in favor of waiving the fees contingent upon Chaplain Steve providing proof of insurance and paying the power boat sticker fee.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 pm.
