Discussion turned to the
backhoe that was delivered by White’s tracker to show the size of equipment
that some members feel the campground needs.
Lori Miller explained that it came with a three year/3000 hour warranty,
approx. $16,000.00/ includes trading in the old backhoe.
Sam Johnson asked if we
could afford it? Diane Wolf stated yes. Margaret stated we would generate revenue
from gray water pits. Joann Mociolek
stated that before there was a vote, we should see a budget report. Tom Wolf stated there should be a cost
analysis: 1) What is the need, 2) Will it satisfy the need, 3) Cost analysis
should include what is spent now (costs to rent, pickup and delivery), 4) What
is the true value to cost efficiency, 5) What is the value if you pay over time
or out right. Fred Mehlman stated it
should be tabled until they have more information and a cost analysis. Lori Miller stated if this was tabled, it would
push the purchase out to October. Ken
May made a motion to give the Board of Directors the authority to review a cost
analysis and purchase a backhoe at a reasonable cost not to exceed $20,000.00,
2nd by Tom Wolf. Vote: 109
yes and 9 no. Motion carried.
Dam update: On June 17th,
we received the preliminary drawings for review. When ODNR approves, we will lower the lake 10
ft. So far we have paid the engineer
$5,600.00 for his professional services.
We are currently waiting on ODNR to give their stamp of approval so the
work can begin. We were also told that
if we were confronted by any surrounding neighbors with regards to the lake
being lowered, we were to encourage them to contact ODNR, not try to explain. Tom Wolf asked if we lower the lake 10 ft.
from what level to classify as non-life threatening. Margaret will get a clarification. Bob Mills asked about the fire
department. Diane will call them. Margaret will also ask Mike if the lower lake
can be made deeper.
