She also touched base on Jefferson County Emergency classes and amateur radio classes.  Deb also thanks everyone for their help in stocking our supply shed and our community support on Emergency Response.

• Water Commission Report – Steve Drury:   Reviewed major projects, including the monitoring of the electronic meters to track leaks, only takes a couple of hours to read all of the meters now; system overall is showing less than 5% leakage, and pressure readings can now be done remotely; replaced the old generator with new standby generator; The commission is working on a new engineering plan to analyze the pressure control valve vault project for alternatives; reviewed the state Health Dept Cross Connection control program (flyers & surveys are available). Updated Water Plan is required (site map was available for residents to view).  Questions were raised and addressed about the quality of our water, hardness, and sediment present. The board will check on the scheduling of fire hydrant flushing, and thanked residents for keeping these clean and accessible.  Remarks also included that the base water rate increase is to cover rising utility rates and expenses. 
• Architecture Committee Report:  Three houses are currently slated to be completed within the next couple of months.  New members for the Architecture Committee are needed.

• Marina Report – Michael Donaldson:  Reviewed completed projects in the  Marina area, including replacing plastic safety fencing at shoreline, new boxes for the life rings, installed two kayak racks, new hose reels, cleaned up general rubbish around the marina area, repaired boards, railings and gates that were deteriorated; fixed fish cleaning sink; added reflectors and did upkeep on the lighting down the drive; Marina Floats has completed major work on the docks.  Upcoming projects include rebuilding the two sets of stairs down to the beach, assess the bulkhead situation for solutions.  There are no available slips – there are three individuals on the waiting list.

• Treasury Report – David Morgan:  Reviewed both BCCA and Water Commission budgets delivered to each property owner, along with the Profit & Loss and Balance Statements, dated August 2024-July 31, 2025. Outlined how much is to be put in the reserves for the dredging, which cannot be changed, along with other expenses.  He gave an update on the progress of Marine Survey & Assessments in reviewing our dredging.  The intent is also to have a maintenance permit is including in the proposals.  Don Williams contributed to the conversation.  The main immediate concern and expenditure is to remove the excess sand under the main floats to help mitigate that additional damage until the dredging can occur.  Questions were made on how critical the dredging is, and members were encouraged to see the marina at low tide, as compared to several years ago when the boats could still float. Last dredging was in 2009 and was over $400,00.

David also addressed concerns about the amount of the assessments set at $450, to be voted upon each year, as per the bylaws.  This is the same amount since 2018, and has been voted upon each year.   Clarity was given on why the website says this amount versus the language in the bylaws. Website states current, approved amounts for dues and water rates.  New website will be on a new platform, and will be much clearer in addressing such issues, including a members’ only portal for confidential information.

• Introduction to 3 Board member candidates – bios included in the Heron Newsletter
  • Lynne Mackey-Moseley, Greg Mason, and Matthew Oxford

• David encouraged all members to send in their ballots, get active and volunteer, and thanked all the volunteers who help to keep the BCCA and Water Commission running.  Meeting adjourned at 1:26pm

ANNUAL MEETING AGENDA

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023

ANNUAL MEETING CALLED TO ORDER BY PRESIDENT CURT SCHNAIBLE

This meeting called to order by President Curt Schnaible at 11:08 am.

INTRODUCTION OF BOARD MEMBERS

All Board Members introduced to attendees. Julie Jackson, Secretary, has stepped down for personal reasons. Lynne Mackey-Moseley to complete her term.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS REPORT GIVEN BY DEB REITHMEYER

Please see the Bridgehaven Emergency Annual Report 2023 from Deb Reithmeyer, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, attached as a PDF to these minutes.

MARINA REPORT GIVEN BY MATT MAYNARD

Matt reported that all slips are currently rented, and they do not often become available unless someone gives one up. There is a waiting list for 3x 20’ slips and 1x 30’ slip. Please contact Matt if you need to review use of water at the Marina, as it needs to be shut off in the winter when not in use.

ARCHITECTURAL REORT GIVEN BY CARL SCOTT

Carl reported that Lots 29-30 are close to being permitted for a new house build. This may be the last new build allowed on the Spit. There are no new requests on the Hill. There has been some interest from owners in little house installations, however the by-laws restrict residences to those greater than 800 square feet in size.

Bridgehaven residents requested information re: non-Bridgehaven builds. BCCA has no jurisdiction over those builds, however, will continue monitoring deposits of silt under the docks and address any issues re: access to the Marina, especially at low tides.

TREASURER’S REPORT GIVEN BY DAVID SUVEGES

David reports that there is one new expense, Robot Call service to communicate emergency and time sensitive updates. The budget includes reserves to address possible future need for dredging as boats are having more difficulty accessing the marina at low tides. Carl reports that the Board and Marina manager are monitoring this and looking at possible solutions, including, but not limited to, dredging.

Discussion about BCCA’s non-profit status with requests for clarification re: reserves and possible re-investment of funds in the community. Board members invited residents to attend the next

quarterly Board meeting – time and date to be set.

WATER REPORT GIVEN BY JOE SCHWAN

Retaining water supply is healthy though there are issues with repairs due to it being an older system. The old model meters are obsolete and can no longer be repaired, as parts cannot be found. The water Commission is installing new electronic meters that can be read on an app which will increase the tracking of system issues, for example repairs and leaks, especially unexpected increases in water use. These will also help conservation efforts. It is possible that rates could be adjusted once the new systems are in place and the water commission has built up its reserves for emergency situations.

The Seattle Drive hookup is being processed, with the water commission pursuing bids for installation now that permitting has been granted.

Homeowners continue to be responsible for the water supply from the meter to their house. The meters have already been purchased and installation will begin soon. House issues such as rebuilding or replacing pumps are also currently being addressed. The Water Commission is exploring options with the electric company for the most efficient plan going forward for pump replacements. The Water Commission is holding funds and reserves in the event of a catastrophe. At present, we do not qualify for federal monies for emergency situations, but the water Commission continues to investigate other funding options.

Joe explained the breakdown of the increases in rates. It was also clarified that the Water Commission is a separate entity from the Bridgehaven Community Club Association. Its capacity is 350 homes, and it is currently providing water to 230 homes.

Members have further questions regarding the Water Commission’s policies and budget. It was clarified that the water commission cannot access Bridgehaven General Funds. The BCCA Board recommended that the Water Commission hold an Open House to answer customer questions and offer further clarifications about improvements to the system and budget/charge updates.

ANY OTHER BUSINESS

Andy Lingle encouraged residents to attend the quarterly BCCA Board meetings, which are open to all property owners. These meetings will be scheduled soon for 2024.

The meeting was adjourned at 12:30.

Respectfully submitted,

Lynne Mackey-Moseley
