President Curt Schnaible called the meeting to order.  Secretary Julie Jackson read the notes from the meeting on February 13, 2023.  The notes were approved with the correction that the pump house is on Bridgehaven’s property versus state land.

RELOCATION OF BRIDGEHAVEN’S STORAGE SHED

Joe Schwan discussed the relocation of Bridgehaven’s storage shed, which is on Jose’s “to do” list.  It was agreed that given the shed’s small size, a survey is not necessary.  Bill Bryant stated there is adequate property available to build the shed at the pump house but not enough by the towers.  It was agreed that the pump house location is the best choice.

Joe inquired what was needed to get the project underway.   Curt stated that Carl planned to pour a slab and build the shed, and that there are no issues with existing property lines. 

Joe suggested two sheds, but Curt indicated one big one would be sufficient to house the contents of the existing shed as well as Bridgehaven’s emergency management materials currently stored elsewhere.  He also stated that building the new shed should be priority #1.

Carl Scott proposed the following erection sequence:  clear the area with a backhoe, level the site, then erect the forms.  It was agreed that pipe storage racks be installed on the side of the shed.

WATER REPORT

Joe Schwan stated that Bridgehaven’s fire hydrants are traditionally flushed once a year and that it had been a while since it was done.  Per Curt, when Steve came on board, he indicated they did not need to be flushed annually but agreed that it is probably needed.

It was noted that a blue reflector should be in the middle of the road indicating the location of each fire hydrant so they can be readily found during an emergency (although they often get ripped off by snowplows).  Per Bill Bryant, there are at least nine fire hydrants in the Bridgehaven community.

FINANCIAL REPORT

In Treasurer Marilyn Bryant’s absence, Bill Bryant read the treasurer’s report.  The HOA currently has $1.148,000 in the bank, the marina spots are all full for an annual income of $11,700, and there has been $13,900 generated by new water hookups.

MARINA CLEANUP

Curt asked if an annual marina cleanup day was needed.  Carl recommended that the boat launch be cleaned and stated he will provide the needed equipment (for scraping and pressure washing). Curt stated that he and Carl will perform the cleanup as soon as the weather allows.  Carl stated he would also build a new fire pit.

There being no further business for discussion, the meeting was adjourned. These meeting minutes summarize discussions to the best of President Schnaible’s recollection.
