Your reporter was not in attendance but Chairman Randall graciously supplied the following.                           

 

Still, no acceptable housekeeping bids have been submitted. MJM has been awarded the contract to pour the cement in front of the bay doors on the north and south sides and will be done in a couple weeks. 

 

State Parks has assigned an individual who is working on the MOU but they call it an Action Plan instead of an MOU.  State Parks want the Action Plan to involve all entities on the lake, but if the fire district feels that it doesn’t cover all of their concerns, Chief Mike will write up a separate MOU.  State Parks are okay with signing both agreements if needed.

 

The BBQ went well and approximately 350 hamburgers and hot dogs were served. The residents were able to see the equipment and had a lot of fun.
