Lake Julia Association, Inc.
     Board of Directors
Minutes: Meeting of July 3, 2005

The initial meeting of the Board of Directors came to order at about 2:00 pm. at the Reckmeyer lake home. Present were Directors John Snell, Bette Drought, Susan Munkwitz, David Mitzner and Jay Franke. Absent was Director Frederic A. Mayer.

Election of Officers

It was noted that the amended articles of incorporation, filed March 29, 2005, were circulated with a draft resolution electing officers as follows, to serve until their successors are duly elected:

  • President: John B. Snell
  • Vice President: Susan Munkwitz
  • Secretary: Jay R. Franke
  • Treasurer: David Mitzner

Upon motion made and duly seconded, this resolution was adopted unanimously.

Association Dues

The board resolved that the Association should assume financial responsibility for out-of-pocket expenses associated with the annual meeting, notably the keg of beer.

To meet these expenses, to to provide the Assocaition with funds to meet other administrative expenses, it was resolved that the Association will establish annual dues of $15.00 "per family". (Secretary's note: Does this mean "per family" or "per lake house" ?)

It was resolved that the Association will not, as an association, join the Forest County Association of Lakes (FCAL) at this time. Individuals are encouraged to continue or to establish their memberships.

Lake Water Quality; Exotic Species; Boat Landing

It was noted that there were no exotic species in the lake as of the survey two years ago. It was suggested that the survey document be circulated to all owners. (Secretary's Note: I don't have the survey report; if someone will send it, I will scan and publish it on the website.)

It was suggested that steps be taken to re-test water and plant quality

It was suggested that the Three Lakes Waterfront Association might furnish a speaker for next year's annual meeting.

The status and history of the "public" boat landing was reviewed; it is not public, but rather is located on a parcel owned by the Starkes (the house now occupied by Kim Starke). There was discussion about signage at the boat landing cautioning about invasive species. (Secretary's note: the Starkes have now installed substantial signage.)

Annual Meeting 2006

There was discussion about possible locations for the 2006 meeting.

The meeting adjourned at approximately 2:30 pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Jay R. Franke
Secretary
