Bridgehaven Board Meeting September 5, 2018

President Blake Egenes called the meeting to order at 6:00 P.M.  The meeting was held in the pavilion at the Bridgehaven Marina.

Blake welcomed everyone at the meeting.  Board members in attendance were:  President Blake Egenes, Vice President David Wilson, Secretary Nancy Schulberg, Member at Large Charles Thomas.  Also in attendance were  Cathy Wright, Bruce Jakola, Dave Mathis, Curt Thomson and Tom Moore.

Secretary Nancy Schulberg read the minutes from the last meeting, June 5, 2018.  Blake Egenes moved that the minutes be approved.  Motion was seconded, minutes were approved.

Blake asked Dave Mathis if there was anything new for the water business.

Dave gave a water report. 

He reported a week after our last annual meeting he had to chlorinate our water system because of contamination of bacteria.  The bacteria was traced back to the old water tank.  He stated that a hatch has been deteriorating and should be replaced. He had a contractor come out to replace the hatch.  Dave was able to be there at the time the repair work was done.  The hatch was not replaced.  A larger hatch was installed around the existing one.  Dave was able to reach up into the hatch area and remove a lot of the existing rust.  He also stated that the joint between the walls and the lid are deteriorating.  Suggestions were made to paint the interior of the tank or put in a new liner.  Dave was not in favor of any of these type of fixes.  Dave had divers come and clean the tank.    Dave stated that the tank could be fixed if he could find a qualified person to come out and do what needs to be done.  Dave Wilson suggested we purchase a new water tank.  Dave agreed yes, at some time, the tank will need to be replaced.

In July Bridgehaven signed a contract with NPI to redo the Blue Jay pressure station. 

Nancy Schulberg brought up for discussion that at some point we will also need to replace the boat ramp at the marina.  Members agreed but it was stated that a new ramp is not a high priority at this time.

Nancy was asked by Jan Thomson to get permission to move the firepit and picnic area to the south area of the pavilion and do some landscaping.  Permission was granted.  Jan also asked to have a work party date set to clean out the ditch going down the spit.  A work party date will be set after the blackberry vines and other debris are cut from the sides of the road.  This will be happening on Monday September 10th.  Thank you Dale Flodin for doing this work.

Dave Wilson is working on Bridgehaven purchasing our own dredger for the marina.

Cathy Wright asked about any progress on the revamping of the new covenants.  Blake stated that he has not heard anything from the members on that committee.  Bruce Jako who is on the committee and who was also in attendance stated that the committee has only met once since August.  They are waiting on Don Williams to set the next meeting.

We are still looking for a marina manager.

Blake made a motion to adjourn the meeting.  Nancy seconded the motion.  Meeting was adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
