Second Quarter
President, Margaret Paden
verified that a quorum had been established and called the meeting to order at
There was no First Quarter
Membership meeting because a quorum had not been established. Therefore, the minutes of the
Margaret Paden – President’s
report:
1. Margaret thanked everyone
for showing up and thanked all the volunteers who participated in work
week-end.
2. Explained that the water
in the swimming pool needed to be replaced.
The fire dept. will drain it, but we need volunteers to help clean it
once it’s drained. To prevent damage, it
can only be empty for a very short period of time.
3. Need summer volunteers
for the kitchen.
4. Memorial Day is getting
closer and those who signed up for security will be notified of a meeting being
scheduled.
5. Doris Hastings was the
winner of the100 Ohio Lottery scratch off’s raffle. The membership made $765.00 as a result of
the raffle.
6. A $120.00 BBQ grill was
purchased to be raffled over the Memorial Day week-end.
7. Fire wood is still
available. $50.00 for a pick-up truck
load. If anyone is interested, they
should see Rex.
8. As of last week-end, five
new memberships have been sold.
9. Volunteers have installed
the bushings and got the backhoe running.
Need a battery and brake lines so they can start cleaning ditches (to
help with water drainage) and offer services for grey water pits.
10. Upcoming projects include
painting the hamlet, clubhouse, and removal of bushes at the pool bldg.
11. The comfort station by
the horse-shoe pits has a new roof thanks to volunteers including some of Shawn
Robinson, Jr.’s co-workers and special pricing through Shawn’s company.
12. The Board agreed to
purchase 250 tons of gravel, we currently have 228 tons down. Based on the rate, trucks and delivery
provided by Noah’s company, it looks like we will be able to gravel all the
roads in the park.
13. About a month ago, Duane
was able to purchase a zero turn mower with a 50 inch blade at a silent auction
through his company for $1,348.50.
14. Ron Glover was able to
use his discount and purchase two brand new furnaces for the club house for
$1600.00.
15. Kelly Collins has
refused a certified letter requesting payment for damages he caused to the
Membership’s tractor. Even though some
members have cautioned the Board that Kelly could make phone calls that could have
an adverse affect on the campground, the Board feels that if we are doing
something wrong, we need to know, so we can correct it. Doris and Margaret are going to the Court
House to proceed with the civil suit.
16. Margaret asked Tom Wolf
to address the membership with his findings with regards to the possibility of renting
the sales bldg. in the future. Tom
explained that

Margaret asked Tom to
explain the provision in the tax code regarding different dues amounts. Tom stated that in order to maintain our tax
exemption, we cannot charge different rates with out substantial differences in
privileges. Margaret thanked Tom for his
research.
16. Margaret explained to the membership that Joe
Kuprevich had been posting signs on the bulletin board making false
accusations. Margaret address each and
every sign posted and displayed them for the membership to see. Margaret then turned the meeting over to
Vice-President, Doris Hastings and stepped down from the podium. Margaret took a seat, raised her hand, and
was recognized by Vice-President, Doris Hastings. Margaret stated, that Joe has been fined
repeatedly for his unsightly camp site, was thrown out of the clubhouse with
his porno pictures, was plugging into electric boxes two sites down, entered
the pool bldg. wearing nothing but a trench coat where children were present,
continues to have tarps up even though he’s been told to remove them, continues
to harbor a guest who has been permanently banned from the park, leaves his dog
tied unattended, and if there is one more poster or innuendo, she WILL file a
law suite. Margaret has spent time on
the phone with the county prosecutor, and even though Joe is a deed holder, he
owns an interest in phase II of Leisure Lake, NOT land. They gave her the phone number of the Bar
Association. She used their referral
service, spoke with a paralegal and the first appointment with the attorney is
only $30.00.
Margaret then made a motion
to proceed with the legal avenue to get Joe Kuprevich evicted from
Margaret took back the
podium and turned the meeting over to Diane for the Treasurer’s report.
Ed Eberle stated that Joe
should be given a chance to respond. The
floor was turned over to Joe. Joe’s
response: he felt the gate should be changed to key cards instead of push
button. He then showed pictures of other
member’s lots with standing water.
Standing water as a result of rain storms has always been an issue
within the park. Joe was asked to take a
seat.
Diane gave the Treasurer’s
report. Checking = $11,387.87 Operations = $ 109,203.40 and Money Market =
37,018.21. Diane also stated the pool
table has brought in $711.00 so it is more than half way to paying for
itself. So far, we’ve collected
$47,396.28 in dues. The budget committee
is going over the expenditures.
New Business:
At the last Board meeting, a
new policy was put into place. We will
no longer be offering additional lots to existing members unless already
submitted and approved in writing. These
lots can be used to bring in new members/revenue.
Duane stated that all the flooding
has also washed out the roads causing additional expense. The next area to be worked on is by the
creek. Last week-end they ran out of
time getting the backhoe work completed.
Doug Miller explained the
flooding is not because of gravel, there’s not enough drainage. Duane explained it’s because we have four
times the flow. We can’t widen or deepen
the creek. We can clean them out but
there’s a beaver dam near the neighbor and he won’t let anyone on his
property. He stated he’s high and dry and
doesn’t care about LL.
Mr. Deitrick stated there is
an electric box in the Creek. Duane
explained it’s on a dead line.
Mrs. Uncapher stated there
is a water leak on lot 144. We are aware
and it will be fixed.

Margaret asked members not
to bring trash from home and stated we will be watching the dumpsters. Laurie Miller explained that people are
dumping items into the burn pile that won’t burn (i.e. mattress springs and
refrigerators). Sandy Nagy suggested
strategically placing the dumpsters throughout the park where more people could
be watching. Doug asked if BFI would
charge more. Lori Olexo stated no. We may not want the large trucks on our
roads.
Dee Wurz made a motion to
adjourn, 2nd by Quentin Childers.
Respectfully submitted,
Brenda Lallathin, Secretary
