Discussion/Business:

• We talked about the electrical upgrade that is being worked on in Campground 1. We have decided to hold off on purchasing the additional materials needed until money is in the account from the special assessment that was voted on during the Yearly Board Meeting. It makes sense to get the water back on and let the campers use the campground for this summer without power disruption or construction going on. We will look at the finances during the next few meetings to see what a good date will be to start back up with the upgrade. The water should be back on next week and will be tested at that point.

• We talked about buying material now while prices have lowered a little bit, but we are going to wait until the next Campground Committee Meeting to look at the budget and what those costs will be. At this point, we will know more about the occupancy in the campgrounds as well as what funds are available from the special assessment. We have room to store the products if we decide to move forward with that plan.

• We currently have 23 open spots in Campground 1 and 12 open spots in Campground 2. We are going to put some ads in the paper to create some excitement around getting a spot in the campground now for the 2023 Camping Season. We are thinking about an open house type event to tour through the campgrounds to get some additional campers in both campgrounds.

• There is a small RV Port that was given to Campground 1 that we are going to use for shelter over some picnic tables to have as a central meeting point for campers. The Committee will decide the location during the next meeting.

• During the Electrical Upgrade construc- tion, there are some trenches that were dug close to the campsites. The Committee is looking at purchasing some base rock to put at the campsites for the campers to use filling in any muddy areas. Most of those will have to be spread by hand by the campers, but we can look at a volunteer day to help with campers that need assistance.

• We have some fencing available to put around the dumpster at Campground 1 to try and control that area better. This will be done on 4/29 as a volunteer day and will include a safety check of the playground equipment to ensure it is safe for people to use. We will also create a list of what needs to be done to address any maintenance issues that are at both of the campgrounds. We will have another volunteer day in May to get those items completed at both Campgrounds.

• Flint is going to work with the contractors at Campground 1 to produce a map of the water lines and the electrical lines.

• We are working on a Campground Mission Statement as well as a Strategic Plan to present to the Board of Directors. We are going to cover the options at the 5/7/23 Campground Committee Meeting.

We currently have been doing Zoom Meetings but will do in-person meetings Starting 5/7/23 for the next 6 months. We will reassess at that point to see if we resume the Zoom meetings then.

We are working on the Sewer upgrade costs to look at what the next steps are and timing around those upgrades. The bath house at Campground 2 was rotting on the outside and we spent funds to make the outside maintenance free going forward. We will address the bath house at Campground 1 after the Electrical and Sewer opportunities are addressed.

We talked about the Committee Members being nominated to be Officers of the Campground Committee. We selected James Funk as the Chairman, Randall Davidson as the Secretary, Michelle Sullivan as Co-Treasurer and Kathy Price as Co-Treasurer.

We have set the next meetings for 5/7/23, 6/10/23, 7/8/23, 8/12/23, 9/9/23, 10/14/23.

The meeting adjourned at 8:15 pm

We will be doing chip and seal for 6.1 to 6.3 miles of roads around the lake. The stockpile of material will be at the silt ponds on the south end of the lake. We will need 30 loads of material and we will begin seeing this come in in the next week.

Jeff reported we have trimmed trees in Campground 2 and the pool has been drained and cleaned in preparation for a Memorial Day opening. We will need to do some painting before the pool opens.

Jeff also reported we are working on anchoring the needed buoys and the swim zone buoys. Cassie is finishing the Wake buoys and they will be installed. Jeff stated we will set the buoys and then take a GPS reading so we will know exactly where they should be located if they shift.

Approval Of Financial Statements

Doug Winter made a motion that the Financial Statements be approved as presented. Seconded by Terry Nibarger; motion passed unanimously.

Guest Time

Three guests were on the agenda for this meeting. These included: Brett Bush, Lot 324 who presented the want and need to establish a Fishing Management Committee to help with monitoring stocking of fish in the lake as well as review and standardize the length limits etc. Motion was made by George Eshenaur and seconded by Tony Gronniger to establish a Fishing committee. Members of this committee will be Shawn Hepinstall, Gary Buck, Troy Knight and Jim Powers are suggested by Brett Bush and approved by the motion. Motion passed unanimously.

Second Guest was Beckett Depriest Lot 58 who was following up on a Ripple Bin glass recycling project he had presented as part of his Eagle Scout project. A free ripple glass collection bin is very small and would not work well. Beckett presented the cost of going with a bigger bin. This would be a $5000+ outlay for VVA which is not budgeted at this time. President Doug Winter let membership know this would have to be voted on and the expense would need to be budgeted. Doug offered to put Beckett in touch with a person he knows who does both glass and aluminum recycling. Doug also suggested that a Survey be done to see what the level of interest in participation is with VVA owners.

Third Guest was Jackie Leslie Lot 2087 who was seeking clarification for what kind of shed could be put on a lot. They are experiencing a lot of upkeep time and cost with their storage shed. Jackie presented information from a manufacturer she was interested in using. This will be looked at by the Building Committee.

Board Discussion

Allan Slavin, brought up discussion of a handbook change to page 21 of the current handbook. He suggested a change in verbiage from Hard Surface Driveways to All Driveways.

Also discussed was the timing of the change in number of watercrafts allowed with a lot purchase. After 9/22 a new lot owner is limited to 2 watercraft. A motion was made to change the verbiage in the handbook by Tom Rice and was seconded by Jeremy Lillig. Motion passed unanimously.

Adjourn

Tony Gronniger moved to adjourn to Executive Session at 4:00pm to discuss legal, personnel, and Board organizational matters. Allan Slavin seconded and the motion passed by all board members. Meeting was adjourned at 4:00 pm.
