  • Jim Page reviewed the four year budget plan. There are revisions currently being made and he will review it at the November meeting.
  • Pond Committee:
    • An estimate has been received from Marine Biologist of the aeration and chemical treatments of Magnolia Pond. The pond will need three treatments and aqua shade as well as bubbler aeration. The estimate for that was $2,895/year. The estimate for the electricity to run the bubbler was around $317/year. Jim Page will get bids on running electricity for the bubbler. A decision on this has been delayed until Spring.
    • The Pond Committee has not yet made a decision on who will be doing the work on the Glover and Hawthorne Ponds. Estimates were received from three contractors but will be asked to resubmit based on the specs by an Engineer that Jim Page has retained. The resubmitted bids will all be done to the same specifications to ensure that all the bids are equal in nature.
    • Pending development of specs by the Engineer and rebids by contractors to those specs, the Board will approve up to $35,000.00 to the Pond Committee for the work to be done.
  • Motion for approval of $35,000.00 to allow Pond Committee to get the above-referenced work completed.
