Reports:
Susan Thomassson – approval of the minutes as posted for September 2010 meeting – all approved.
Treasurer’s report –Ray Kendzierski - Largest expense for the years was the 2 signs on CR 512 entrance – but new memberships and income almost balanced that cost.
Park Committee – Janet Wood - The park progress is on indefinite hold. Al Tetreault noted we need to thank the Sheriff’s Office for their prompt attention to getting to a solution of the tire dumping at the park. D/S Roberta Garner investigated and found the offender who later cleaned up the park.
After some discussion the next steps determined are to request from the county sings that indicate it is a park and there is a county fine for dumping. Janet will move forward with that request.
New Business:
By-law changes – Susan Thomasson – Current by-laws state 5 meetings annually. Change request is 4 meetings annually – additional meetings if subject matter warrants it. Meetings will be Jan/April/Sept/Nov. – on the 3rd Monday. All in favor – requested change passed.
Election 2011 - Due to the lack of other general members wanting to run for the Board positions open – for the year 2011 the current officers will remain the same – all in favor.
Roads – A roads committee was formed with volunteers who will meet to gather information for a committee to present to the county a consideration for millings on a select number of roads yet to be determined. Presentation will include statistics for cost effectiveness of milling paving versus current scraper excavating. Committee is Joe and his son, Al Tetrault, and Teunie Kranenburg – meeting date and time not established.
Old Business:
Landscape for 512 entrance – Joe Beaudoin – Joe and the landscape committee have received bids and determined the best bid for the required work. Landscaping will include Palms, flax, mulch and sprinklers. They will be contacting the county for water/sprinkler access - then following thru on the estimate of $950.00. All approved.

In addition, the Operation Medicine Cabinet boxes will be made available for disposal of old, expired or not longer used medicines to get keep them out of the wrong hands and out of our water supply.
There was much audience discussion on thefts and speeding etc, Sue stated that since our Neighborhood Watch started in June 2007 we have stressed “lock your cars-lock your houses” and call the Sheriff’s Office with anything suspicious – and still we have unlocked cars and residents afraid to call the Sheriff’s Office.
Community Center - Susan Thomasson – Susan presented the current statis and previous issues as to the reverter clause regarding the Fire Station, the County and the Anson family ownership. After much discuss the Anson family has discussed donating the property to the Volunteer Fire Station Committee which is a 501C3 and can accept it. Susan has plans to present changes and forwarding thinking plans to the Anson’s with building changes ranging in the $350,000 range for improvements to enable operation as a community center. A committee will be formed to operate in the capacity of a focus group and work to develop an outstanding, effective case study to move forward with.
