Minutes – October 3, 2009

 

Meeting of the Board
of Directors Patterson Lake Association of Lanark Highlands

407 Hardwood Ridge Road ,
October 3, 2009

In Attendance: Ted
Manning, Jack Hobbs, Doug Cross, and Howard Stanley.

Regrets: Colin Cleroux
and Rhodena Bell

  1. Ted called the meeting
    to order at 11:00 AM.

  2. The agenda was accepted

  3. Jack moved that the
    minutes of the Sept 6 meeting be accepted, seconded by Howard.
    Approved.

  4. Howard
    presented the treasurer’s report. There is $1416.51 in the
    bank. We have 48 paid members for last year
    and 38 for this year so far
    .
    There was discussion of any upcoming planned expenditures. –
    No major new expenditures are expected but provision is made for
    next year’s picnic event, website expenses, hall rentals and
    mailings. Ted noted that work would begin on the Lake Management
    Plan but no major expenses are anticipated. Howard moved acceptance
    of the treasurer’s report, seconded by Doug. Approved

  5. There was discussion of
    the Lake Management Plan. Ted indicated that he would begin to
    draft the plan over the next few months and circulate sections (with
    gaps where input needed) as they are prepared. He is in touch with
    the Township and will contact the Mississippi Conservation Authority
    to keep them in the loop. It is hoped to have a draft for general
    circulation by spring, when another consultation will take place
    with all Lake residents.

  6. It was noted that the
    culvert at the end of the Lake was scheduled to be replaced in late
    October. A single oval culvert with the same capacity as the two
    current ones will be placed at the same level as the existing
    culverts.

  7. There was considerable
    discussion regarding how to obtain greater involvement of Parsons
    Lane residents. We will continue to provide all residents with the
    newsletter and Directors will make efforts to contact some of the
    Parsons Lane residents personally to see if the level of
    participation in the Lake Association can be enlarged.

  8. There was discussion on
    the newsletter. Ted suggested that articles on local initiatives
    and services should be included – for example John
    Schweigert’s rock carvings, Lionel Pauze’s work with
    sportfishing for disabled persons, the Purdon Orchid conservatory,
    any other things potentially of interest to lake residents. It was
    also noted that over the next year we may need to get someone else
    involved in the production of the newsletter if Lorne wishes to
    reduce his level of effort.

  9. The date for the next
    meeting was left open. Ted will initiate the choice of the next
    date in the Spring (likely in March in Ottawa) unless anything
    comes up requiring a meeting before the Spring.

  10. The meeting adjourned at
    12:30, moved by Jack, seconded by Howard.
