electrical upgrades are complete, with the exception of a couple of spaces that just put in their request for 50 amp upgrades. Mike Booth reported that one of the dumpsters has rusted out on the bottom. Lake Committee: The first inspections of the year have been completed for the roadside and lakeside. There are a few letters to send, but not many. The next inspection will be in the fall. Cemetery Committee: Shad Mort asked if you have loved ones in the Lake Viking Cemetery, to please not put flowers on the ground. Hangers or on top of stones is fine, but on the ground makes it hard to mow and keep everything trimmed. Infraction Committee: Roger Lankford reported 11 tickets were reviewed by the committee. Eight of those tickets were issued fines and three were dismissed. Dredge Committee: Shawn Hepinstall reported the dredge repairs are complete. We have been working on stream bank stabilization in the three tubes area. The plan was to start dredging in three tubes, but now we believe we will hit the Pilot/Pirate area first as there are less docks to move. There are only six in this area, but there are 18 in the three tubes cove that will need to be moved. We are hoping to be able to move to three tubes by September. Shad Mort commented we have hired a new dredge operator, who will be starting next week. Training of the new operator is tentatively scheduled for the 26th of this month. Lake Manager’s Report Campground: As reported earlier in the meeting, the campground electrical upgrade is complete for the most part. There are a couple of 50 amps yet to do. Roads: The maintenance crew has been working on patching the roads. We have laid 50 tons of material so far. Campground lagoons: The lagoons have been dipped out and an inspection was scheduled this week, but has to be rescheduled.
