Public Forum included Discussion about the fair booth and surrounding communities. Comments were also made regarding using correct fill around repaired manholes and the suggestion to reactivate the old Roads Commission going forward.

The AQUA update... Well #2 is repaired and back online. Several manholes will be repaired in August and early September. The one on Savannah Ridge will be one of those repaired so we can get that sandwich board down. The redesign of the main lift station at the wastewater plant is ongoing.

Finance Commission reports write offs in the amount of $2,646.63. Accounting adjustments total $734.84.

Lake Management reports The bioswale plantings are complete, some areas of fencing need repair. The Eco/Harvester is still having break down problems.

The plan is to bring the aerators to the surface and power wash them to assure complete cleaning.
Tuesday our G.M, Brad and Don from maintenance, and myself were on a conference call with the manufacturer of our skimmer/harvester. We will be returning it for diagnosis of the problems and repair. We don't want it back until it is ready for heavy usage on the lake.
