Letter from the SLC Board President

Hello, I am Tom McBride, your new president of the Sherwood Lake Club. Meef and I have lived at 6724 SW Aylesbury Road for 30 years. I am also in my first year on the Board…go figure!

Thanks to Annette Beck for her service as a board member and the most recent president. Annette has guided the Board through the initial steps of dam and auxiliary spillway restoration, sanitary sewer project, lake environment issues and restoration of the silt ponds. We all appreciate her leadership and patience in dealing with all these issues.

Most of the issues mentioned above will continue to be major projects throughout 2023. The board will keep each of you informed of the progress and, hopefully, the conclusion.

The board, with your help, will continue to increase membership value with another sparkling 4th of July and other membership activities.

Please mark your calendar and join us for Spring Cleanup Day at 10 a.m., Saturday, April 22. Please email office@ sherwoodlakeclub.org or call 785.478.3305 if you and your family can help. We need helpers, please.

I will also need your help and assistance throughout the year… so be expecting a call. Plus, do not hesitate to call with an issue or suggestion.

Thank you,

Tom McBride

Letter from the Lake Manager

Happy belated New Year.

To begin with, I would like to welcome Tom McBride to the Sherwood Lake Club Board of Directors. Mr. McBride will be the new board president. Mr. McBride is recently retired in April 2022 as owner and operator of Title Midwest and has been a Sherwood Lake Club member since 1992. He brings unique skills that will serve the Sherwood Lake Club well into the future.

Sadly, Annette Beck will be stepping down from the SLC Board of Directors and as the board president. I would like to thank her for her years of dedication and service to our lake and community. She has spent countless days working for the best interest of the Sherwood Lake Club. Under her leadership our lake club has prospered. Thank you again, Annette, for your direction, guidance and encouragement over this last year.

This upcoming season the Lake Quality and Environment Committee has made it a 2023 priority that all vessels registered to Lake Sherwood have the Sherwood Lake Club stickers displaying the member’s SLC number. This will help guarantee that the vessel is registered to Lake Sherwood. Ski boats, fishing and pontoons will display two stickers on the rear end of the port and starboard sides of the vessel. Personal watercrafts only need one sticker per vessel. Sherwood Lake Club staff will have SLC stickers and numbers available at the boat ramp this spring. The SLC staff will be required to attached stickers to vessels that do not already display the proper identification. Vessels will not be allowed to launch without SLC stickers and the member’s number. Also, according to the Sherwood Lake Club by-laws an SLC sticker must also be attached to the boat trailer. Once again, these stickers and numbers will be available at the boat ramp.

Remember, personal watercraft (PWCs) that are launched directly from members shorelines and are not inspected for zebra mussels at the boat ramp by the SLC staff, these crafts can easily introduce zebra mussels into our lake. PWCs are probably our greatest threat. So please be mindful to clean, drain and dry these vessels before they are launched on Sherwood.

Once again, thank you to the Lake Quality & Environment Committee, which has worked hard to preserve our lake. I would personally like to thank Dr. Randy McAlister, Warren Schmidgall, Nelson Dean, Kevin Beck, Steve Brewster, Tracy Lynch, Joy Dodd, Steve Dodd and others on the committee that have put in countless hours serving SLC. Watch for the LQEC updates that will be sent out by email to all SLC members.

Furthermore, the Annual Spring Clean Up will be held at the clubhouse on April 22. Rain delay date will be April 29. We intend to spruce up around the clubhouse and beach and will take only three to four hours to complete. We will begin at 10 a.m. Also, the Boater Safety Class will be offered May 3 and 24 at 7 p.m. If you have not taken the class, it is mandatory to be eligible to operate a boat on

Lake Sherwood. Please note that the classes will be held by Zoom. Look for registration reminders that will be sent through email in April.

As spring approaches, please review the boating rules and regulations as you begin the 2023 season. This information also can be found on the SLC website, and they are printed in the Scene. Some highlights are as follows:

1. All boats and PWC must be registered with proper SLC numbers displayed on the hull.

2. Wake Surfing: Please review the wake surfing rules & regulations located under Section I, number #4 of the SLC Boating Rules.

3. The entire lake is a “No Wake Zone” from dusk to dawn. The RED light on the east end of the dam will indicate the beginning of the No Wake Zone at the end of the day.

4. Please use the lake in a counterclockwise direction. Speed Limit is 35 mph.

5. All boaters, skiers and passengers must have a CGA personal floatation device.

6. When a skier or tuber is down, please display the skier

down RED FLAG, while they remain in the water. Once the skier or tuber is back up, the flag should be put away.

7. Remember that guest boats of any kind are not allowed on Lake Sherwood. This includes kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, towables and inflatable islands. The purpose of the rule is to avoid the zebra mussel pandemic that has plagued northeast Kansas. Our lake is one of the few that does not have a zebra mussel infestation. It will be to the profit of all Sherwood members to make this priority number one.

Just a last-minute reminder: When purchasing a new boat, remember that the under SLC rules the boats cannot exceed 25 feet. On Ski or Fishing boats measure from the tip of the bow to the stern not including the swim deck or outboard pontoon or the deck) to the stern of the pontoon not including the outboard motor or permanent extended ladder. FYI: If the pontoon has an extended transit that mounts the outboard motor three or four feet out the back of the vessel, the transit is considered part of the length of the boat.

Have a pleasant & wonderful 2023 recreational season.

Respectfully,

Jeff Handley

Reminders and Updates

Lake Patrol Schedule

The lake patrol probably will go on duty full-time by midApril, weather permitting. Until then, they are on call to put vessels on the lake. Please call 785.221.3248 to make an appointment to meet at the ramp.

Shoreline

Any dock or shoreline additions or improvements must be approved by SLC. KDWR and Shawnee County Planning require a permit for any NEW improvements. Repairs or replacing existing shoreline without changing the layout do not require permits. When in doubt, give the SLC Lake

Manager a call at 785-221-3248. For new docks or lifts contact Rob Seitz at 785-478-1745.

Boater’s Safety Course

• May 3 and 24

• All boat drivers 16+ are required to take this course.

• Sign up at https://forms.gle/N6osu9oHRCeSGn299

Siltation Ponds

One of the two siltation ponds is nearly complete, while the second is on hold. The new plan is to restart that construction in the coming months.

Dam Rehabilitation Project (SLC)

Two town hall meetings were held January 11 and 12 to present and receive feedback on the options developed by our consultant, BG Consultants. We had a good turnout of members and nonmembers, and we greatly appreciate the interest and feedback that was provided. From the meetings, the board decided the final direction for improvements and directed BG to move forward.

At the current time, BG is working feverishly to complete the plans and meet the hard deadline of March 14. There have been several meetings with the state over the last few weeks to steer the plans and make certain that they meet the requirements. On March 14, the plans will be formally submitted to the Kansas Division of Water Resources for the final permitting, as well as to FEMA (through the

Kansas Water Office) for their next grant funding program. The results of the FEMA grant funding will not be known until September of this year. We hope to have selected a contractor by the time the funding is determined so the board can provide additional information on final costs and possible membership assessment amounts.

For those who want to see possible scenarios for funding vs. assessments, we included some basic calculations and comparisons in the presentation that was previously distributed to membership. The presentation is available through the office and on our website at https://www. sherwoodlakeclub.org/docs/SLC_Dam-Spillway_Rehab_ Presentation-final.pdf

Sewer Rehab/Pump Station Replacement (Shawnee County)

The county has officially hired a contractor for the pump station replacement project. They are currently working to secure the new pumps and materials and hope to start construction this summer.

The sanitary sewer rehab project remains on hold while the county determines how to rebid it. The selected contracting company is no longer able to complete the work.

Soil Sampling Project Update

In the early part of 2022, the LQEC surveyed the membership of the Lake Club regarding their lawn fertilization practices. The results of the survey helped guide further research into the best practices for lawn fertilization on lakefront lawns.

In order to determine the current status of the essential lawn nutrients – nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium – the LQEC offered to take soil samples from members’ lawns and submit these to the Kansas State University Soil Testing Lab in Manhattan. Fifty members’ lawns were sampled in November 2022. These samples were analyzed by the lab for the following: soil pH, nitrates (usable nitrogen), phosphorus, potassium and organic matter. Each member who requested soil testing received a comprehensive report from the lab that suggested both a fertilization schedule and which nutrients to supply for a healthy lawn.

In addition, the LQEC received a copy of the report for each sample site. These reports were aggregated and then sorted in a number of ways. The results were compared to KSU Soil Lab recommended levels for each nutrient. The results were separated where possible into vendor-specific graphs looking for trends that might suggest over or under fertilization practices. The KSU Soil Lab recommendations for fertilization practices were reviewed for each sample site. Recommendations were made by the Soil Lab for not only when to fertilize but also how to fertilize and with what suggested nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium ratios. The

Leaf Pollution Update

The LQEC has been researching nutrient pollution – the addition of excess nitrogen and phosphorus to the lake ecosystem resulting in excess algae production and harmful algal blooms (for example, bluegreen algae). There are several significant sources of nutrient pollution:

1. Lawn Fertilization

3. Leaves

Lawn fertilization practices significantly impact the health of the lake. In 2008 the Environmental Protection Agency reported that fully 40 to 60 percent of lawn fertilizer ends up in surface or groundwater and subsequently in waterways. While agricultural operations are not common around Lake Sherwood, where present these can contribute significantly to water pollution also. Forty percent of the nutrient pollution in Chesapeake Bay comes from fertilizer and manure.

The management of waterfowl is problematic. Lake Sherwood provides excellent habitat for resident as well as overwintering waterfowl, especially Canada geese.

recommendations also included when to use quick-release versus water-insoluble (WIN) nitrogen products.

The Soil Sampling Project final draft and recommendations are currently under review by the LQEC before general dissemination to the membership. At this stage, it would be premature to release the final report but one important point stands out and is worth mentioning. Every study, research paper and article regarding lawn fertilization reviewed by the committee began any lawn fertilization program with a soil test to determine what nutrients were needed. Follow up soil testing periodically to monitor the status of nutrients was also recommended. Soil testing is inexpensive. Testing is important to make adjustments to the nutrient mixture being applied based on need and not on estimation.

Applying only the nutrients needed is particularly critical for lakefront lawns as excess nutrients easily enter the lake and contribute to nutrient pollution. Excess phosphorus is highly problematic as one pound of phosphorus stimulates 500 pounds of vegetation growth. In our lake this means 500 pounds of algae! The final report will be released to all members along with the fertilization recommendations. Future activity for this project also will involve the LQEC meeting with lawn care vendors and interested DIY lawn care members to discuss fertilization practices that are cost effective while producing both a healthy lawn and a healthy lake.

Their feces whether deposited directly into the lake or on lakefront yards contribute to the nutrient loading. The management of waterfowl has been mentioned by the LQEC over the last few years but remains complicated. Future updates will discuss management options.

This update on nutrient pollution relates to leaf pollution. When Lake Sherwood was completed and homes were constructed there were specific covenants that required different types of trees. Chief among these was a requirement for a pin oak on each lot. For several decades the residential areas around the lake and in the drainage basin had only small- to medium-sized trees. The amount of leaf drop in the fall did not seem to be a significant problem. However, trees mature. The residential areas are now populated with mature trees that produce a tremendous number of dropped leaves in the fall.

During the latter part of September through early December large quantities of dead leaves accumulate on the lawns and streets as well as in the gutters and storm drains/culverts in the basin. Great effort is expended by

Leaf Pollution Update

continued from page 7

homeowners and by lawn care vendors to remove these leaves from lawns. Despite this effort an enormous amount of dead leaves accumulate in streets, street gutters and catch basins of the storm drain/culverts.

An even greater amount of leaves are gathered up and bagged for removal by entities providing trash services. Each home that bags leaves likely gathers upwards of ten or more bags of leaves. This is likely a gross underestimation. If one assumes that each bag of leaves weight on average 10 pounds, the following amounts of nutrients are prevented from entering the storm drains that feed directly into Lake Sherwood:

• 4.7 pounds of carbon

• 0.1 pounds of nitrogen

• 0.01 pounds of phosphorus

• 0.01 pounds of potassium

• 0.16 pounds of calcium

• 0.02 pounds of magnesium

• 0.01 pounds of sulfur

• And iron, zinc and other micronutrients.

We know that one pound of phosphorus produces 500 pounds of aquatic vegetation including algae. If some type of removal of the leaves does not occur, ALL of these nutrients enter the lake. Multiply the number of residences by ten bags of leaves and that number by the amount of nutrients in each bag and the amount of available nutrients for algae production is staggering.

Assuming that 5,000 homes are contained in the drainage basin with each removing ten bags of leaves each weighing ten pounds, this amounts to 500 pounds of phosphorus kept from entering the lake. That equates to 250,000 pounds of algae NOT being produced in the lake. Unfortunately many leaves do enter the lake through the drainage systems and are blown in by wind. The question is what impact does this have on the lake?

When leaves break down they release phosphorus. Depending on the volume of leaves this may be one of the largest sources of phosphorus pollution in urban waterways. When leaves are not removed from the street gutters they will enter the drop basins of storm drains/ culverts. There the leaves sit until they are washed into the lake. Before that happens, the leaves will be soaked with any precipitation. The phosphorus contained within leaves is readily leached out creating essentially a “phosphorus tea.” This dissolved phosphorus runs directly into the lake. When the leaves themselves wash into the lake two things – both adverse – occur. First, more phosphorus and nitrogen are made available in the lake water due to decomposition. Second, the decomposed leaves add to the organic muck portion of the lake’s sediment load.

In an effort to quantitate the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen loading that occurs from urban leaf drops, the United States Geological Survey service conducted a study in Madison, Wisconsin, in the 2010s. Results were reported in 2019. Two residential areas in Madison were selected for study based on a high degree of similarity to each other. One of these served as a control and the other as the study area. Very aggressive management of fallen leaves in the study area was undertaken. The study conclusions were impressive: fall leaf litter is one of the primary sources of nutrient pollution in stormwater, especially for phosphorus!

There are two types of leaf degradation that occur. The first is the phosphorus tea and the second is particulate matter that remains that still has significant amounts of nutrients to release. By aggressive, active, thorough leaf removal and street cleaning to remove residual particulate leaf matter, total and dissolved phosphorus loads in stormwater runoff were reduced by 84% for total phosphorus and 83% for dissolved phosphorus. For nitrogen, if the fall season when leaves are falling were studied, total and dissolved nitrogen was reduced by 74% and 71% respectively by aggressive leaf management.

In the fall the majority of nutrient pollution occurs from dissolved nutrients (from leaching) which makes keeping leaves from accumulating on streets, in gutters and in piles near the street curb very effective in reducing nutrient pollution in the lake.

While this USGS study underscores that leaf collection is one treatment option available that can significantly reduce the amount of dissolved nutrients (especially phosphorus) in stormwater runoff, other interventions are also available. Leaf pickup and removal is useful and currently employed. The use of a mulcher blade to pulverize downed leaves helps prevent these from blowing into the gutters and returns nutrients to a lawn’s soil. A win-win.

The timing of any intervention is critical. Leaves are highly leachable by nature. Therefore, removal of leaves BEFORE any precipitation event significantly reduces the loads of phosphorus and nitrogen. This prevents both the formation of “nutrient tea” and the washing into the storm drains/ culverts of fallen leaves that contribute to nutrient tea and ultimately wash into the lake creating muck.

The LQEC is currently researching further mitigation strategies and more information will be forthcoming.

Flushable Wipes

The Shawnee County Public Works Department is experiencing issues at the water treatment plant due to the increased use of “flushable” wipes within our community. They are asking that residents consider discontinuing the disposal of these wipes through flushing them down the toilet.

These wipes make their way into the sanitary sewer mains, pump stations and to the wastewater treatment plant.

Even though these wipes are marketed as flushable, they do not break down as easily as toilet paper and create clogging and backups in sewer systems and pump stations.

Additionally, the county is starting to experience negative effects at the treatment plant as these wipes affect the mechanical equipment that treat the flows.

This will lead to increased maintenance and repair costs across the entire sanitary sewer system, which creates potential for higher mill levies, taxes, etc.

Please consider the effects that these “flushable” wipes are having on the collection and treatment system as well as our community. If you continue to use the wipes, please dispose of them in the trash instead.

Get great service & great rates.

You know I’m always here with Good Neighbor service. But I’m also here with surprisingly great rates for everyone. Call me for a quote to see how much you can save. You might be surprised.

Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.®

Wattle Update

The winter of 2022-2023 marks the third time that the LQEC has deployed wattles on the streets of the Sherwood drainage basin with the support of the Sherwood Improvement District and Mission Township. These green, straw-filled structures are designed to capture sand and sediment BEFORE these enter the lake. This reduces the sediment loading of the lake and in the long run will allow for greater intervals between dredging. As dredging is very expensive, financially the use of wattles makes economic sense for the Sherwood Lake Club.

Wattles function very simply. Moving water carries sediment. The faster the water moves the more sediment is carried. If the water is slowed down, significant portions of the sediment being carried will fall out of the water. Wattles slow the flow of water at the culverts/storm drains on the streets. The water still percolates through the straw barriers but this slows the flow leading to the accumulation of sediment at that point. What sediment does not enter the lake does not need to be dredged out later.

How effective are the wattles? Here is a picture of one wattle on Falcon (out of approximately 160-170 that are deployed annually) with the sediment it has trapped midway through the winter season.

Not every wattle traps as much sediment as this one does. However, imagine that on average each wattle traps even one third to one half as much and multiply this by 160-170 culverts/storm drains and then multiply the result by 60 years! The quantity of sediment that has entered the lake and contributed to the need for dredging is enormous. In fairness, the entire basin has not been developed residentially for all of the 60 years, but even adjusting the

total for that still yields an astounding amount of sediment entering the lake!

The LQEC and Mission Township are continuing to explore alternatives to sanding and salting the roadways during ice and snow events as well as limiting the overall amounts of sand and salt being applied. We appreciate very much the willingness of Mission Township to work toward a solution that preserves the safety of winter travel and protects the lake from excess sedimentation.

Remembering Ron Hein

Ron Hein, a pillar in state politics, relentless advocate for the people of Kansas, but most importantly, a man who loved and was loved by his family, passed away peacefully in the early hours of December 21 surrounded by his wife and two children.

Ron was born in Seneca, Kansas, on November 7, 1949, to Evelyn (Price) and Allan Hein. He grew up in Topeka, graduating from Topeka West High School in 1967. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Washburn University in 1971, summa cum laude, with departmental honors; and his Juris Doctorate from Washburn Law School, 1974, with honors, including course work sponsored by Washburn University at Brunel University, Uxbridge, England in the summer, 1974.

Ron was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 14 years old. Doctors believed Ron wouldn’t live to see his mid-30s. So, he had a lot to accomplish in a short period of time. He began to live his life as though each day might be his last.

This drive led Ron into politics. He served in the Kansas House of Representatives from 1975-1977 and the state Senate from 1977-1984, representing southwest Topeka. In 1978, Ron unsuccessfully ran for U.S. Congress in the 2nd District in Kansas. Thereafter, Ron established Hein Law Firm, Chartered (later Hein Governmental Consulting, LLC). He provided legal and governmental affairs services to clients with a wide range of issues, always representing each with honesty, integrity, and passion.

On October 21, 1989, he married the love of his life, Julie Hein. Those that knew Ron and Julie know that there was no Ron without Julie and there was no Julie without Ron— they were truly inseparable. The love they shared was without parallel, and over 33 years Ron never ceased in his efforts to romance her—including regularly sending flowers for no reason at all.

By 1996, the diabetes had caused kidney failure. Ron was in need of a new kidney; it turned out Julie was a match. Her courageous gift would be the first of three kidney transplants over the course of Ron’s life. The second was given by Lyndi Curphy, who lost her life in a tragic accident and generously donated Ron both a kidney and pancreas; the pancreas “cured” Ron’s diabetes. The third was given by Matt Medling, a close friend—and our family’s angel— who subsequently lost his battle with cancer in June 2020. Ron and Julie remained strong advocates for organ donation and have had countless conversations over the years with individuals who are considering giving the gift of life.

Ron remained a well-respected figure across political parties for nearly 50 years, as well as in the community. He was an active and impactful supporter of many institu-

tions and served as Kansas Private Sector Co-Chair of the American Legislative Exchange Council in Kansas. While in the legislature, he served on the Capitol Area Plaza Authority. He was a member of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Industry; Topeka Chamber of Commerce; Kansas Bar Association; Phi Alpha Delta Legal Fraternity; Phi Delta Theta Alumni Association; and life member of the Washburn Law School Alumni Association. He was a former member of the National Kidney Foundation of Kansas/Western Missouri Board of Directors; the Washburn University Alumni Association Board of Directors; American Diabetes Association-Kansas Affiliate Board of Directors; and the Kansas State Nurses Foundation Board of Trustees.

Ron has been recognized several times over for his work, with awards and recognitions from Phi Kappa Phi Honorary Society; Tau Delta Pi Honorary Society; Sagamore Senior Men’s Honorary Society; Outstanding Sophomore Award, Washburn University; Outstanding Young Men of America Award; Topeka Jaycees Distinguished Service Award; Kansas Association of Public Employees Distinguished Service Award; and selected “Major Earthmover” by Hawver’s Capitol Report more than a few times.

Ron was preceded in death by his parents, Evelyn and Allan Hein. He is survived by his wife, Julie Hein; his two children, Derek Hein and Jennifer (Paul) Tims; his five grandchildren, Jackson, Sadie, and Silas Hein, and Porter and Crew Tims; his brother, Larry (Kathleen) Hein; and Linda Davis, mother of Derek and Jennifer, and lifelong friend.

October 2022 Meeting Minutes

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE SHERWOOD LAKE CLUB, INC. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

October 24, 2022

The regular meeting of the Sherwood Lake Club, Inc. Board of Directors was held Monday, October 24, 2022 at the Sherwood Lake Clubhouse President Annette Beck called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Annette Beck, Kerry O’Neal, Megan Clay, Kurt Bossert, Rob Seitz, Jo Hunt, and Mike Morse STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Jeff Handley, Joe Anderson

1. MEMBERS/PUBLIC COMMENT: Members present: Joy Dodd, Steve Dodd, Randy McAllister

2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Board approved the minutes as presented of the September 26, 2022 Regular Board Meeting. Motion made by Jo Hunt, seconded by Mike Morse. Motion carried.

3. REPORTS:

(a) PRESIDENT’S REPORT: Annette Beck made the presentation. It was noted that there was an additional member of the nominating committee that was not included in the list of members who would sit on the committee this year when the motion was passed at the prior month’s meeting. Laura Harrison is also a member of SLC that has agreed to serve on the committee. In Aline’s absence, Annette indicated that the committee has nominated the following members to be listed on the ballot that is sent out to membership for the upcoming vote for SLC board members starting their term in February, 2023: Tom McBride, Jo Hunt, and Kurt Bossert. There will be a portion of the upcoming Scene that will include biographies of each of these individuals. Additionally, there is some re-working of the ballot that Aline and her are working on prior to sending out the ballots to membership later on this year. The members of the Dock/Lift Compliance Committee have compiled the pertinent information that needs to be available to all members should they want to make any improvements to the shoreline/waterfront area of their property. A packet of information will be made available to all members through the SLC website as part of this program being rolled out. In addition, the members of the committee will be assessing the lake-front properties and will make a determination on which properties are not in compliance with the current regulations. Information will be sent out to these members before the end of the calendar year with the timeline of events that must happen in order for the member to regain the compliance status of this matter in terms of their SLC membership. Annette then asked if the SLC Board as a whole will be in agreement with this proposed schedule and terms of the agreement that the committee is asking each member to abide by. It is important that the board as a whole be in agreement with these recommendations in case there is a question from the membership. Rob made a motion that the SLC Board (as a whole) will endorse the recommendations coming out of the dock compliance committee. Kerry seconded. Motion carried.

(b) MEMBERSHIP REPORT: Joe Anderson gave the report. He indicated that there were the following changes to the membership roster for Sherwood Lake Club over the last month:

• Joyce Martin “B” Membership retirement – 6621 SW 40th Street

It was also noted that there are currently 18 people on the waiting list for a Class B membership. Mike made a motion to approve the changes in membership as presented above. Megan seconded. Motion carried.

It was discussed at length the information that was discovered about the property that was sold at 7537 SW Robinhood Ct earlier in the year. Upon information that was relayed to Joe from the real estate agent that was involved in the sale, the ownership of the property, as it currently is titled, is not able to apply for a membership w/ SLC that accompanied the residence when it changed ownership. After discussion by all in attendance, it was decided that a letter will be drafted by Joe giving the current ownership of the property to get in contact with the Lake Club (through Joe) a deadline of November 30, 2022. This letter will be shared w/ Aline prior to sending it to the property owner. Information will be included in the letter pertaining to the by-law matters that are in play here and what they need to do in order for the property to be eligible for a SLC membership.

(c) OFFICE MANAGER’S REPORT:

• See attached calendar for events scheduled for clubhouse and shelter.

(d) SHERWOOD SCENE: Will be sent out in the next few weeks.

(d) TREASURER’S REPORT: Jo Hunt made the presentation SLC currently has a cash balance of $325,142. The amount of outstanding A/R is $2,128, most of that being insurance assessments that have still yet to be paid. It was indicated that the invoice outstanding for Kurt Walker of $750 is the invoice for a new boat he launched this past summer and has yet to pay the invoice. Annette indicated that she would reach out to him to get it paid. Additionally, it was discovered by the Budget Committee that when the prepared budget for 2022 was presented to the Board last year, the total expenditures for the annual budget was not an accurate number. This was due to the budget being prepared in MS Excel and when new line items were added to the expense section, their $ amounts were not included in the total of all expenditures that were being budgeted for. This has caused the actual budget that was approved to be a budget deficit instead of a budget surplus. Additionally noted, the budget to actual reports included in the monthly financial packets that have been sent out this year show the correct budget that does encompass all expenditure accounts and their totals. The Budget Committee is scheduled to meet on 11/2/22 to go over the budget and to prepare a draft of the budget to bring to the board next month for review and approval. The members of the Budget Committee are Pam Leinwetter, Aaron Elwell, Travis Stryker, Randy McAllister, Jo Hunt (chair), and Joe Anderson (staff).

CHECKS FOR APPROVAL: Tod Longstaff in the amount of $2,860 for mowing services. Mike made the motion to approve the check approval, Kurt seconded. Motion carried.

Mike Morse made the motion to approve the treasurer’s report Kurt Bossert seconded. Motion carried. The treasurer’s report was accepted as presented.

(e) MANAGER’S REPORT: Jeff Handley presented the report. Boat ramp improvement discussion – Quote that Jeff is recommending is from Reece Construction. Cost to the club would be $57,552.86. it was relayed to us this week that they can start work as soon as next week if we are ready for them Jeff has put in for a permit with the State. If we are okay with them starting work next week, they would start dropping off their equipment at the beach later on this week, but work would not start until Monday, October 31st. After discussion about what communication needs to be relayed to membership given all of the boats that are still on the water, a communication plan was finalized and will be sent out via the Email blast to all membership. During the meeting, Jeff stepped out to call the contractor to get a firm timeline on the work so this information can be communicated to all members. It was then relayed to the Board that worst case scenario is the work will take 2 ½ weeks to complete. Best case scenario is it will be done in under 2 weeks time. After all discussion subsided, Mike made a motion for work to start on 10/31/22, unless for some other reason, the contractor is unable to delay that long, then we will re-convene and discuss an earlier start date. Kurt seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Jeff indicated that the contractor we used earlier in the year to spray the weeds on the dam, Bruce Rinkes, may still do another spray this fall. He will assess the need later on this fall and reach out to Jeff with his recommendations. Jeff indicated that if there is room in the budget to incorporate the fence repairs/replacement project at the clubhouse into the ’23 budget, he thinks we should get this need addressed given our non-compliance for current code guidelines.

Finally, he mentioned that he has the materials to do the soil sampling collections for the members that have signed up for the service. This will begin later on next month once the deadline to sign up, which has been set as 11/7/22, has passed.

(f) DIRECTORS’ REPORT:

Kevin: (In his absence, Joe Anderson read an email sent earlier that day from Kevin highlighting a few topics)

Dam Maintenance Project: BG Consultants started their survey efforts two weeks ago and may be complete or close to complete with the field work. Concept designs will be under way in the next week or so

Sanitary Sewer/ Pump Station Rehab Project: The sanitary sewer rehabilitation portion is awaiting some legal items as the selected contractor went belly up. They had been looking for a replacement, but the paperwork is now with legal to sort out how it will be handled. This work is really only around the treatment plant and up to Fountaindale Rd. so really minimal impacts on SLC.

The Pump Station Replacement project was out for bids and the bidding was extended an additional two weeks (I believe the bids are now due this Friday (10/28/22)). The County would like to accelerate the construction with potential of using two contractors (one subcontracting to the other). I reminded Jeff Hunt at the County that we do not want impacts on boating season to residents.

He did ask if it would be possible to lay the bypass line on the shoreline instead of floating it within the lake. I sent out an email that a few responded to last week (I attached the email, latest response, and my original email with attachment for you). If the board is in favor of this direction, I will let Jeff know we don’t have an issue with it provided they agree to include verti-slicing and seeding where the pipe is laid. I don’t think it will cause a lot of damage as it is only a 3-4” pipe but agree that they should be on the hook to repair the grass that they lay the pipe on. Let me know and I will reply to Jeff Hunt.

October 2022 Meeting Minutes

continued from page 13

Wattles: Steve Dodd and I attended the October SID Meeting and discussed the wattle program with them. They had received Annette’s letter and we discussed the need to keep the program. After discussion, the SID board voted to hold another meeting with Mission Township and SLC to discuss splitting the cost 3ways. That meeting was to be set by SID and Annette is going to help with Mission Township. I have not heard of a date for the meeting yet.

Lawn Fertilization (Soil Sampling project): I know there was an email received at the office from Brent Boles discussing the lawn fertilization/lake nutrient loading information. I have not forwarded that email to the LQEC committee yet but will today. It is interesting that it contradicts the science and what has been seen at other larger lakes around the country. LQEC will have to evaluate the approach Brent notes from Lake Javaro (MUCH smaller lake and watershed) and see how it plays into the SLC recommendations.

Jo Hunt made the motion to be supportive of the county’s change in laying the pipe on the grass on the backyards of those affected homes. Kerry Seconded. Motion carried.

LQEC: Update provided by Randy McAllister

Budget recommendations – 1 sediment basin has been budgeted for in both ’21 and ’22. LQEC is recommending that we not budget for another sediment basin in ’23; He just wants to make sure that the accrual is made for the ’22 expense

He is asking for approval to purchase 100 wattles that need to be purchased prior to them being placed throughout the community in early December. Jo Hunt made a motion to approve the expense. Mike seconded the motion. Motion carried.

LQEC is working on an upcoming email blast to send out to members regarding the Invasive Species education component. This will be one of many email blasts sent out to members over the winter months to help educate them on the importance of this program. The first component will help highlight the changes that have been made to the rules and the addition of any new rules surrounding this program so that all members are made aware of these changes before we get into the new year. He finally indicated that we have 20 people signed up for the Soil Testing Sample. He is asking that all members of the Board of Directors and the LQEC sign up as an act of good faith to show all members that this is a good exercise for all members to participate in.

They will provide us with a summary report for each location so that we can then take the pertinent information to the members specifically and also analyze from a communitywide perspective, how we need to move forward given this information that they will be able to supply to us. He has encountered some significant issues with our irrigation system throughout the year. There are talks of being able to put in some sensor devices so the landscape company can get notified if an issue arises throughout the year that may be due to a leak in our pipes. This could save significant $$$ if they are able to catch the issue early, which they would have the ability to do. He will gather more information and bring it back to the board over the next couple of months.

(f) DIRECTORS’ REPORT:

Kevin: Dam Maintenance Project: They have completed their surveys. Preliminary strategies of what options they have for us to consider; they should get these to us prior to Christmas – move forward w/ townhall meetings after the 1st of the year

What are Those Stripes on the Road?

Sherwood Lake Club (SLC) has battled lake sedimentation for many years. It was believed that sand was a huge contributor. As a first step to start the remediation process, in 2020 the Lake Quality Environmental Committee (LQEC) recommended wattles on the storm drains prior to winter road treatments. See the Wattles Update article in this Scene for more information.

Last year, Mission Township adjusted their sand/ salt composition from 4:1 to 2:1, which is significant. Additionally, Mission Township has built and tested a pretreatment process. This is a proactive approach to winter storms. It is an anti-icing practice of applying brine before precipitation to prevent the development of bonded snow and ice on the road surface. Salt brine is effective to -6 degrees Fahrenheit and is a proven anti-icing agent.

Once applied, it appears as stripes on the roads.

December 2022 Meeting Minutes

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE SHERWOOD LAKE CLUB, INC. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

December 27, 2022

The regular meeting of the Sherwood Lake Club, Inc. Board of Directors was held Tuesday, December 27, 2022 at the Sherwood Lake Clubhouse President Annette Beck called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Annette Beck, Kerry O’Neal, Kurt Bossert, Kevin Beck, Aline Barrett, Megan Clay (via Zoom), Jo Hunt (via Zoom) and Rob Seitz STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Jeff Handley, Joe Anderson

1. MEMBERS/PUBLIC COMMENT: Public present: Jason Hoskinson – BG Consultants; Members present: Joy Dodd, Mark Wittenburg, Dave Orr

2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Board approved the minutes as presented of the November 28, 2022 Regular Board Meeting. Motion made by Kurt Bossert, seconded by Kerry O’Neal. Motion carried.

3. REPORTS:

(a) DIRECTORS’ REPORT:

Kevin: Dam Maintenance Project: Presentation made by Jason Hoskinson w/ BG Consultants. Kevin turned the floor over to Jason to present the options that we have to decide upon for rehabilitation work on the primary and auxiliary spillways in order to regain compliance with the KS Water Office, Division of Water Resources and insurance carriers.

There are 3 options to modify the Primary Spillway that range in cost from $380k to $1.3M. There is a rehab option, modify option, and replace option. The work that would be required with the Replace option would require the lake water to go down 10-15 feet prior to starting work. Aside from this component, there would be little to no disruption in the lake activities for our members.

There are 2 options to modify the Auxiliary Spillway that range in cost from $350k to $650k. There are little to no disruptions in lake access for our members with either of these options. It was discussed and decided upon that due to the dock configuration around the current auxiliary spillway and in order to regain compliance with KWO, there would probably need to be extensive work done on 3 members property in order for the project deliverable to check all the boxes we have been told are required by outside governing bodies. Discussion will be had with these members in the next few days to alert them of this project scope IF it is decided to go with this option to modify the current auxiliary spillway.

There are significant FEMA funds that are available to us if we adhere to a very limited timeline that was shared by Mr. Hoskinson. This requires the Board to make a decision as to what direction they want to go by the 3rd week of January, 2023. It was decided that in order to make membership aware of these options and to get their input, we would hold 2 town hall meetings within the next 2 weeks to provide this information and get feedback on all of it from our members. More information to come on these townhall meetings (location, time, # of meetings) to be determined in next 48 hours and start email blasts to membership notifying them of the schedule.

LQEC: Update provided by Kevin Beck on behalf of Randy McAllister - Recommendation from the committee that each member has to review and take an exam (and pass) on an annual basis confirming that all members are made aware of issues associated with AIS and how they can be transferred from all types of watercraft that can be brought into the lake. This will be discussed in greater length at another board meeting in the 1st quarter of 2023. Aline made a suggestion for an alternative of using a standard form that they initial indicating they will be in compliance with the guidelines and regulations in an effort to streamline the process of getting this completed on an annual basis.

January 2023 Special Meeting Minutes

MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SHERWOOD LAKE CLUB, INC. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

January 18, 2022

The special meeting of the Sherwood Lake Club, Inc. Board of Directors was held Wednesday, January 18, 2023 at the Sherwood Lake Clubhouse. President Annette Beck called the meeting to order at 7:03 p.m. BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Annette Beck (via zoom), Aline Barrett, Kevin Beck, Kurt Bossert, Megan Clay, Jo Hunt, Kerry O’Neal, and Rob Seitz. STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Jeff Handley

The special meeting was called to decide which options to move forward with to rehabilitate our dam/spillway and meet new regulatory requirements.

Options were presented to the board on December 27, 2022 by BG Consultants and presented at membership meetings on January 11 and 12, 2023 at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. Feedback from the two membership meetings was discussed with additional comments from members in attendance at this special meeting.

Primary Spillway Option 1 replaces the spillway pipe north of the dam. Primary Spillway Option 2 (PS2) replaces the entire intake tower and spillway pipe but at a much higher cost. PS2 would require the dam to be dug down 40 feet and would require the lake to be lowered 10’-15’ with no idea how quickly the lake would fill back up. A possible benefit of PS2 and a lowered lake is the potential to dredge without water. There are numerous questions to be answered before we know if that is a viable option. Any dredging work would be in addition to the PS2 cost and would not be covered by FEMA grant funds. Dredging is an issue that needs to be addressed at some point but the dam and spillway is an immediate issue that must be decided now. It was stated that delaying a decision would jeopardize our current grant for engineering services and some construction costs. The result would require SLC to pay 100% of the engineering services cost and we would lose those construction dollars.

Auxiliary Spillway Option 1 reconfigures and lowers the auxiliary spillway. It was discussed that we do not want negative impacts to properties downstream or lower normal lake levels.

Kurt made a motion to approve Auxiliary Spillway Option 1 with the requirement that it does not negatively impact property downstream. Keven seconded. Motion was approved.

Kerry made a motion to approve Primary Spillway Option 1. Jo seconded. Motion was approved.

Potential cost allocations were discussed. Feedback from meetings and members indicated the correct allocation is between a 60% A members/40% B members split and an 80% A members/20% B members split. It was stated that 70% A members/30% B members split has been used in the past. A cost allocation will not be decided until we know the exact costs. It was noted that our bylaws require a membership vote before a special assessment of over $500 annually can be assessed to members.

There being no further business to discuss, the spe cial board meeting was adjourned.

The amount of outstanding A/R is $187,680, mostly made up of 2023 dues and boat registration fees She highlighted that the large amount in unearned income is additional money we have received from payroll tax credits associated with Covid Credits that we can apply to future expenses that are not budgeted for.

Annette: Scene: See update above

Social: Nothing additionally to report at this time

Aline: By-laws: Stan Oyler has expressed an issue with CF&S starting work on his property and didn’t know they were coming. He was not made aware of any work being done on the property regarding the sediment basin construction that is on the easement adjacent to his property. Aline asked about whether or not we should have a committee to monitor these projects? There wasn’t much discussion on this concept after it was mentioned. After much discussion, it was decided that going forward, a letter that comes from the Board to the affected SLC members as projects start will be sent out. This will help keep the interests of our members and making sure members are informed about the project and how it will affect their property for the duration of the project is provided to the members up front so we don’t have issues like this arise again.

5. NEW BUSINESS: Pledge Form Reminders – Joe is asking for direction on when to send reminders out to members who have not turned in their pledge form. Technically, the form isn’t due until the dues invoice that it was sent out with. A reminder will be sent to just members who have not turned in their form with the form as a “fillable pdf” in an email blast later on this week. This should generate an easier option to get the pledge forms from the members without having to print and get the completed form back to SLC. Once the deadline passes for the invoice due date, an additional email will go out to anyone who has yet to complete the form with information that indicates they will not get access to the lake club amenities until the pledge form has been signed and returned to the lake club.

IV. Financial Reports

Jo Hunt presented the Sherwood Lake Club financial report for Fiscal Year End 2022

Thank you to Joe Anderson, the lake club office manager, who handles the day-to-day financial operations, plus much more.

Balance Sheet – Highlights

- Cash Balance increased by $76,853. Balance at December 31, 2022 was $273,384 as compared to $196,531 at the previous year end.

- Accounts Receivable at the end of the year was $5,521 with 99% of receivables being current Non-current invoices are expected to be paid with 2023 dues.

- Fixed Assets increased $45,014 this past year due to installation of the new boat ramp. The increase was offset by depreciation of our assets and the sale of the dredging equipment.

- The Line of Credit, held at Kaw Valley Bank, remained at a $0 during all of 2022. We did not have a need to draw on those funds. The line of credit expires in July, 2023 and is expected to be renewed to provide financial flexibility

- Current liabilities increased $20,285 from 2021’s balance. The increase is due to Covid funds received after the insurance/dam assessment had been determined. These funds are held in unearned income to be used in 2023.

Income Statement – Highlights

- Our Revenue for 2022 was $360,410, a decrease of $28,930, mainly due to lower turnover of houses and new member fees .

- Total Expenses were $341,876, a decrease of $13,320, mainly due to lower depreciation, capital items, and lake and dam maintenance. The decrease was offset by increased payroll costs.

- Net Income for Fiscal Year 2022 was $78,322. This is higher than normal due to gain on the sale of the dredging equipment.

Invoices for 2023

- Invoices were sent out earlier in the month. They are due by 2/21/23. Late fees will be assessed to outstanding invoices after 2/21/23

- Paying online through QuickBooks is easy and convenient and has resulted in lower accounts receivable and late fees assessed. Thank you for that. However, SLC pays fees on these transactions so, if it is convenient for you, we encourage members to pay by check or Venmo to avoid these fees.

2023 Budget

-The 2023 Budget was approved by the board at the November 2022 meeting.

Revenues are budgeted at $363,400

Expenses are budgeted at 360,150

For a budgeted Net Income of $3,250

This concludes my report.

Aline Barrett made a motion to approve the 2022 Treasurer’s Report Kerry O’Neal seconded. Motion carried.

Director’s Reports

• Kevin Beck - Dam/Lake Environment/Fishery

It has been a pleasure to serve the Sherwood Lake Club members and residents over the last year. There was a lot of activity on and around the lake in 2021 outside of the recreational activities we all enjoy. Please see my summary of activities below.

Sherwood Dam Rehabilitation Project

At the beginning of 2022, the Kansas Water Office provided and the board executed a Cost Share Agreement for the 35% match amount SLC owed for preliminary engineering (field work, analysis, plan development and permitting). By August, the KWO and BG consultants completed final contract execution for the preliminary engineering efforts. Field work was completed and preliminary design options were presented to the board by BG Consultants on Dec. 27. The board arranged for two “town hall” meetings to occur in early January, 2023. In accordance with the FEMA Grant program, the preliminary engineering is to be completed no later than March 14, 2023.

Fishery

As a continued effort to adjust the lake fishery based on the findings of the 2021 Midwest Lake Management survey, the lake was stocked with approximately 1500 wipers which prey on small crappie and carp. These were released on May 13.

The LQEC also developed an angler survey to assess the demographics of the anglers fishing Lake Sherwood, what needs and desires the anglers see for the lake, the amount of fishing occurring, targeted species of fish, the angler experience assessment, concerns and expectations. Several items identified include:

•Habitat restoration is important to respondents

•Crappie are the most targeted species (efforts to thin the population of stunted white crappie are necessary to produce a quality fishery)

•Walleyes are a desired species for anglers (stocking will be required to support the population as little natural reproduction occurs)

•Access to the lake is a concern for some anglers (most likely B members) who are interested in early access hours at the boat ramp, shoreline facilities (fishing pier, which could be a handicap access), and improved shoreline access.

Water Quality (Provided by Dr. Randy McAllister, LQEC Committee)

Water samples were collected at four sites on four dates this summer. Sampling occurred on May 23rd, June 14th, July 13th and September 1st. All samples were collected in a standardized manner and analyzed by Midwest Laboratories, Omaha, NB.

The 2022 summer season was marked by increasingly dry conditions with elevated air temperatures. These conditions lead to the stratification of the water with cooler water near the bottom of the lake. In the absence of rain or mixing due to wind and wave action, the bottom layers can become deficient in oxygen. This can lead to the release of phosphorus bound to iron and aluminum in the sediment. When this occurs algal blooms, especially blue-green algae, can be triggered. We were fortunate to receive a significant amount of rainfall at the right time to avert such a bloom.

The overall water quality is very good. Throughout the summer season an abundance of phytoplankton was noticed. This accounted for the greenish tinge to the lake water. At no time did any sample reveal any significant amounts of microcystins, the toxins produced by blue-green algae. As little fertilization occurs during the summer season, no significant amounts of nitrate/nitrite nitrogen or phosphorus were detected. The lake is slightly alkaline with a pH in the upper 7 to lower 8 range. This is consistent with the pH of most freshwater lakes – 6-8. The presence of limestone contributes to the slight elevation of the pH above neutral. Though some elevated levels of E. coli and fecal coliforms were detected, at no time did the readings indicate unsafe recreational conditions.

SUMMARY: The water quality remains high in Lake Sherwood and no limitations currently exist to recreational use with the possible exception of the West End at the end of the season. The persistent greenish tinge to the watercolor indicates the

presence of phytoplankton, a form of algae. Though we remain at risk for harmful algal blooms, none were observed this season.

Lake Quality and Environmental Committee

The LQEC continued work through 2022 to maintain, implement and develop initiatives to help ensure the lake water quality remains healthy and help reduce future maintenance costs (i.e. dredging and sediment basins).

•The Clean-Drain-Dry, Don’t Move a Mussel Campaign was developed with logo to raise awareness of the prevention of zebra mussel infestation of the lake. The logo is now part of the yearly stickers for membership watercraft.

Part of the campaign involved including a pledge form for members to sign at the time of boat registration renewal that acknowledges the importance of personal responsibility in preventing aquatic invasive species from being introduced into the lake. Rules and Regulations for the Club were amended to include personal watercraft in the prevention campaign.

•Two sediment basins were constructed by the Sherwood Improvement District and LQEC saw two additional sediment basins started in the latter part of 2022. Once the two LQEC basins are complete, we will have four of the seven locations identified armored to help lower sediment transport into Lake Sherwood.

•Thank you to the Sherwood Improvement District for their willingness to fund the construction of the two sediment basins. We appreciate your partnership.

•The wattle program (green tubes around inlets during the winter months) completed its second installment last spring and began year three in November.

•Thank you to the Sherwood Improvement District and Mission Township Board for participating in the funding of this program. Another appreciated partnership.

•The LQEC committee and SLC board provided an opportunity for the lakefront members to participate in a soil sampling program. Volunteers collected samples from 49 member yards and sent them to the Shawnee County KSU extension office for analysis. The results are back and were distributed to the participating members. These results will assist the LQEC in developing some recommendations for soil amendment and fertilization practices for lakefront members. It is expected that this effort will greatly assist in reducing the noticeable greenish tint to the water in the prime fertilizing seasons as well as help reduce the risk of blue-green algae blooms.

•Thank you to those that participated.

•Through a collaborative effort, Mission Township agreed to reduce the sand to salt ratio used for roadway treatment in the winter from 4:1 to 2:1. This had a noticeable impact on the amount of sand remaining in the streets after larger snow and ice events. Thank you to Mission Township for your partnership in this area.

A big thank you to the LQEC members for their hard work and dedication to maintaining and improving the Lake Sherwood ecological environment. They invest many hours in research, discussing, developing, meeting and presenting quality information and requests/suggestions to the board. The LQEC consists of Dr. Randy McAllister, Warren Schmidgall, Steve Dodd, Joy Dodd, Nelson Dean, Tracy Lynch, Jeff Handley and Steve Brewster.

The 2023 year is shaping up to be a very busy year with the completion of the dam rehabilitation plans and permitting, bidding and start of construction prior to the end of the year. I look forward to helping achieve at objective and continue progress in the other areas as well.

For me this past year has been the most accomplished year for the Lake Club since I moved onto the lake in 2015. I wish to compliment the Board, committee members and the Lake Club membership for their help and service. We had great attendance on April 23rd from the membership on our annual Clean-up Day, thank you to all those that helped. Also, I want thank Teresa Oyler for another year of selecting and planting flowers at the marina, club house and beach area, they stood out in the beatification of our Lake Club.

I again worked with our insurance agent to get us a competitive insurance package covering our insurance needs and at a price very close to last year and finally coordinating the coverage dates to all renew at the same time.

I meet with Mr. Handley, our lake manager, to walk our properties and discuss maintenance issues needing addressing, we outlined various items and Mr. Handley obtained bids and with board approval entered into agreements to make repairs. This is an ongoing process and I wish to thank him for his continued efforts in maintaining our club’s properties. This past fall our lawn service was changed and Tracy Lynch was hired to maintain our lawns, the appearance of Lake Club properties are looking great.

Aline Barrett - Legal/ Rules/ By-Laws

During the past year, it was my honor to serve as Secretary on the Sherwood Lake Club Board of Directors. In addition to the required duty of co-signing checks, I was able to help the President finalize our updated copy of the By-Laws and current Rules and Regulations. Additionally, I provided research and legal review for various issues that arose during Lake Club business. This might have included reviewing the By-Laws to see what the policy should be for dealing with Club real property, rental agreements, purchasing agreements, and various other aspects of daily business. Additionally, I served as chair of the nominating committee for the Board of Directors election slate and prepared the ballot for this year’s election. The entire Board worked hard to meet the requirements for obtaining funds and making decisions concerning the dam and spillway repairs and I was glad to be a part of that effort.

It has been a busy year at Lake Sherwood. It’s been a privilege serving on this board. The dam has dominated a lot of our time, but it had to be done. My focus will be on more recreational things at the lake next year.

I would like to have a grass carp round up this spring. We have too many and we need to remove a large portion. I will be asking for help in organizing that.

I would also like to see some improvement on the tennis courts with the addition of some pickle ball courts. We can get some firm cost assessment for this.

Lastly, we all on the board will be focusing on dredging. We hopefully will get some

• Kerry - Safety/Security

realistic solutions that we can move forward on quickly.

• Jo - Website

Work to be done on the website will be done this year.

• Mike - Club Liaison

Having fun on the water, getting more people in the engage if they are looking to get more active ON the water (ski, surf, wakeboard)

If you have an interest in creating a club, please reach out to Mike to get it up and running

• Megan - 4th of July (presented by Jo Hunt)

For my first year serving on the board of directors, I was asked to oversee the July 4th festivities. While this is a big responsibility to take on, I enjoyed doing it and am excited to see what improvements we can make for this upcoming year. Thank all the volunteers that helped make this event possible and successful once again.

• Rob - Dock Improvements/ Construction (presented by Joe Anderson)

This past year as a Board member, I supported the recommendations from the Lake Quality Environmental Committee and we voted to create rules and regulations that would require all Sherwood Lake Club members to do their part to prevent zebra mussels from getting in our lake as well as to sign an annual pledge each year to be submitted with their membership dues. Further, I supported the recommendations from the Sherwood Lake Club Board to make repairs and improvements to the dam in 2023 that will also result in fee assessments to all Sherwood Lake Club members.

Consequently, my primary responsibility this past year as a Board member was to work with a committee to establish a dock/lift compliance plan that all Sherwood Lake Club members would be expected to abide by each year. The committee included Annette Beck, Kurt Bossert, Jeff Handley, and myself. It is important to note that while all Sherwood Lake Club A members own their land all the way to the shoreline of their property, all docks and lifts that go beyond the shoreline are governed by the Sherwood Lake Club Board as the lake is not part of a homeowner’s property.

The dock/lift compliance plan was finalized and published in the Sherwood Scene so all members would be aware of the new requirements. The expectation is that all Sherwood Lake Club A members maintain their docks and lifts in a satisfactory condition. If a dock or lift is deemed to be in disrepair, the expectation will be to make the appropriate repairs or remove the dock and/or lift from the lake. At the end of the year (2022), Annette Beck, Jeff Handley, and Kurt Bossert toured the lake by boat and identified all docks and lifts that were in disrepair. The members affected have all been contacted by Rob Seitz and a letter will be sent out to reinforce the expectation to make the appropriate repairs or remove the dock and/or lift from the lake. Refusal to comply could result in sanctions to the member.

Finally, Kurt Bossert put together a packet of information for all Lake Sherwood Club A members who intend to make improvements to the shoreline. All members who plan on making improvements to their shoreline should contact the Lake Sherwood Club Board prior to carrying out any of the work. Depending on the scope of work, permits may be required and federal, state, or local regulations may dictate what can be done
