Curt Schnaible called the meeting to order, and Julie Jackson read the minutes from the Board meeting on May 18, 2022.  The minutes were unanimously approved by the Board.

1. WATER SYSTEM UPDATE

Per Joe Schwan:

• Bridgehaven’s water system came back online as designed following a recent power outage.  The system remains healthy with good testing reports.
• A recent discussion with an owner on Linda Lane regarding the interface of a property easement with Bridgehaven’s water system went well.
• Joe will ask Bridgehaven Water Utility Manager Jose Escalara to find out if the County will take partial responsibility/share costs for changes to/maintenance on Linda Lane since County lines run through that street.
• Bridgehaven should assess/consider future needs/failure possibilities on Linda Lane and Peabody to anticipate versus react.
• Bridgehaven Water Utility Commissioner Jess Morris will likely move soon, and Joe and Jose will explore options for his replacement.
• Seattle Drive has been surveyed, and Jose is looking for a new engineer to “connect the dots” regarding adjacent street interface.
• There has been discussion about purchasing a larger generator that monitors itself, comes back on-line automatically, and has the capacity to run both the small and large water pumps (which the existing generator cannot do).
• In response to last meeting’s discussion of increasing storage at the water towers, Carl Scott recommended installation of a container at the location.  Curt thinks a better solution is to use the existing shed at that location with a fence isolating it from the restricted area around the towers.

Per Marilyn Bryant, out of 225 water meters connected to Bridgehaven’s water system, 85 are for properties not part of Bridgehaven’s Community Club Association.

2. MARINA UPDATE

• Matt Maynard will obtain an outside estimate to repair/replace designated finger piers.
• Matt will inquire about the option of installing hinges to counteract a hardpan bump/other issues under the main pier.
• Matt/Carl will talk with other nearby homeowner communities about their approach to dock maintenance/repairs.
• UPCOMING ANNUAL MEETING AND PICNIC

• Curt stated that the date of Bridgehaven’s annual meeting has changed to September 24, 2022, and it will be held in the marina pavilion. 
• Marilyn indicated that organization of Bridgehaven’s summer picnic is on track for Saturday,
  August 20, 2022.

4. UPCOMING BOARD ELECTIONS

Curt indicated that two openings need to be filled by residents from up on the hill.  David Suveges has volunteered for one, so one more candidate is needed. 

5. TREASURER’S REPORT

Marilyn stated there is $75,000 in Bridgehaven’s reserves.  It was agreed that part will be assigned to Officer compensation with the remainder earmarked for dredging ($35K) and “marina expenses” (anticipating replacement of one finger pier each year).

The meeting was adjourned.
