Board
meeting notes... December 15, 2015
The
AQUA update... Joel (from Aqua) indicates work is continuing on the
relocation of the lift station below the dam, installing the
necessary piping and parts to facilitate the change.
Chief
Tony Stepanski gave a power point presentation on the effectiveness
of our new Candlewick/Capron Rescue Squad unit. It has been highly
successful and is a tremendous asset for not only Candlewick but also
the surrounding area with faster response times, thus better
outcomes. It is too detailed to relate here but I would suggest going
to the CWL website when the meeting video is posted to hear the
report. It is close to the beginning of the meeting.
Finance

adjustments.... none.

stewardship. There is a possibility of trees being available for
additional structure for the lake. Further discussion to be in the

Communications
indicates they do not have enough volunteers to handle all the
marketing being asked of them and asked for a few more hours for our
I.T. Man to help with this. The hours have been added to the next

Festival of Lights appears to have been vandalized. It is now in
storage for next season and repairs.

the season.

the Christmas decorations, started aerators by the spillway for
winter, finished the shed for storage of the Public Safety Gator,
cleared fallen limbs from parks, and miscellaneous other duties.
Outpost
replacement update... We are still in the process of getting
blueprints so they can be stamped and we can go for bids.
We
have had enough property owner interest in a Roads Commission so we
will be re-starting that commission soon for the coming 2016 project.
Thank you to those willing to serve.

We
are spending a lot of money getting the pool and related buildings up
to standard again so the next season should be much improved from
2015.

bioswales. This is a continuation of our efforts to remediate
infiltration of sediment and nutrients into our lake.
A
property owner asked for a varience for his work truck parking. The

enough to not cause problems.
