Beaches/Boat Ramp/Jetties – John, Don, Dottie

Dottie walks the beach regularly. She reminded people to clean up after themselves and to remind guests to do the same. Bob discussed the repairs that were needed this year on the boat ramp. Six or seven boards needed replacing and Bob, Kim, and John installed material to help make it less slippery. Ted Parker was hired to replace the boards this year. Ted had to use heavy machinery to move the ramps and repair them. Bob said the ramp is best for fishing boats and jet skis. Bob also mentioned that he is thinking that repairing the caps on the jetties is not necessary and that our money might be better used by restoring the jetties that were cut down. He said that we will discuss this further at a regular Board meeting.

Clubhouse/Playground – Jan, John, Bob

Jan would like to do more on the playground, but State guidelines must be followed. She asked if anyone in the community has been involved in a playground renovation to please contact us. She suggested adding a pavilion or horseshoe pits. However, our budget is limited. Bob discussed going under the clubhouse. It’s on his list. Bob also talked about the bench on Rosewood. Reid and Bob worked all day to lay the new cement pad for the bench. The bench needed new legs and those had to be welded on. The bench has been sanded and an protective stain has been applied. It is close to being reset. Bob mentioned the benches are made from exotic wood and he feels we need to maintain all of the benches.

XIV. Membership Comments

Kurt Reise on Grove wanted to know when Tom Wilson’s bill will be received and paid. Bob replied before the General meeting.

Kurt made a Motion to move sand to equalize the sand on either side of the jetties and groom the beaches in early spring at the cost of up to $2,000. Ben seconded the Motion. All in favor. Motion passed. (202513)

Larry M. on Rosewood wants the Board to cut more than just at the benches and staircases. He would like to see more sumac cut down along Lakeview Drive.

Steve M. on Satinwood expressed his concern about cars illegally parking at the boat ramp. There was a discussion about this issue. The consensus was to call the sheriff. Sandy suggested that it was important to call the sheriff. Renee said the people that park there are not from the Heights.

Patrick from Grove expressed a concern about dead fish in Mill Creek. He would like to see the water tested. Bob invited him to attend our next meeting on July 12.

Kurt R. on Grove questioned the $20,000 in delinquent dues. Bob said that of August 1 that past due notices will be addressed. Sandy commented that figure is not an annual figure because it reflects some long term overdue accounts with multiple liens. She said most people pay their dues.

Kevin C. on Ivy made a Motion to buy two new microphones. Bob said we just need to buy new batteries. The Motion did not carry.

Debbie B. said there will be a meeting at Worth Township on July 2 regarding the alleged neglect of duty.

Debbie also mentioned that our 911 services will be coming out of Croswell now and not Lexington.

Sue on Maple had a concern about the rocks on our roads making it hard for people to ride bicycles or push a stroller. It was suggested she call the road commission at Sanilac County. These are county roads. Other people said they were happy with the roads because of better drainage and less dust.

Patrick on Grove would like to see some floatation device on the beaches for a rescue. He also mentioned that he does spear fishing far out in the lake and please do not call the Coast Guard.

Kurt R. on Grove addressed the log jam in Mill Creek. He would like to get some volunteers to dislodge the log jam. Bob said we can discuss this at the July 12 meeting.
