OFFICER REPORTS
MR AGNELLO PROVIDED AN UPDATE ON THE 501(C) 3 STATUS. MARK PODESH, ONE OF OUR MEMBERS WHO IS ALSO A CPA, HAS HELPED TO FILE THE PAPERWORK TO THE IRS. WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO RECEIVING OFFICIAL “NOT FOR PROFIT” STATUS. THE LAST LETTER WAS SENT LAST WEEK TO NYS DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND WE SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO VERY SOON.
HAL BERNARDI-ADDRESSED THE NEED TO RAISE OUR DUES TO $100 AS WE WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY IN THE BANK TO COVER DIGS THIS YEAR AND IN THE FUTURE. THERE WAS MUCH DISCUSSION REGARDING THE EXISITING CONTRACTOR AND IT WAS DECIDED TO OFFICIALLY BID OUT THE WORK FOR 2013 DIGS. THIS WILL BE COORDINATED BY CHRIS LEE EARLY FALL 2012. IT WAS ALSO DECIDED THAT A SPECIAL FUND WILL BE CREATED BY THE RESIDENTS ON THE SOUTHY AND SOUTH EAST SHORELINE TO DO THE EMERGENCY DIGGS IN THE SPRING AND FALL TO KEEP THE BAY FROM VERY HIGH WATER LEVELS THAT CAUSE EROSION OF THEIR PROPERTY AND BREAKWALLS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE $25 TO THIS FUND PLEASE DO SO AND MARK YOUR PAYMENT AS SUCH. IT COSTS ROUGHLY $400 TO DO AN EMERGENCY DIG. A MOTION WAS MADE TO RAISE THE DUES TO $100 FROM THE CURRENT $75 AND IT WAS PASSED AS WELL AS THE MOTION TO CREAT AN EMERGENCY DIG FUND.
A MOTION WAS MADE AND PASSED TO POST A LIST ON THE WEB SITE OF ALL THE NAMES OF THE RESIDENTS ON THE BAY AND THEIR BAY ADDRESSES AND IF THEY HAVE PAID DUES OR NOT.
DIANE BANKS HAS CREATED A BROCHURE FOR 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION THE IDEA WAS WELL RECEIVED
KIM PARK, TOWN OF WOLCOTT SUPERVISOR – UPDATED US ON THE IJC PROPOSED LAKE LEVEL WATER LEVEL AND THE VARIOUS ACTIVITY THAT SHE AND OTHER TOWN SUPERVISORS ALONG THE LAKESHORE IN WAYNE COUNTY HAVE BEEN ACTIVE IN. SHE ALSO UPDATED US ALL ON THE SEWER PROJECT STATUS WITH FUTURE PLANS TO TIE INTO FAIR HAVEN’S SEWER PROJECT. KIM HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION FOR A LOW INTEREST LOAN TO COVER THE ONE TIME CAPITAL COSTS OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE LINES THAT WOULD RIM THE BAY. THIS WOULD BE IN THE FORMOF A LOW INTEREST LOAN. THE PROJECT, IF FUNDED WOULD BE IN THE 2013/14 TIME FRAME AND A NEW WAYNE COUNTY SEWER DISTRICT WOULD NEED TO BE FORMED. IF APPROVED, A ONE TIME COST WOULD BE IN THE $1500 TO $2000 NEIGHBORHOOD AND ANOTHER $500 TO $700 TO DEACTIVIATE YOUR EXISTING SEPTIC. TOTAL ANNUAL COSTS WOULD BE IN THE $1000 TO $1500 PER YEAR TO RETIRE THE DEBT AND MAINTENANCE FOR THE SYSTEM. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS PLEASE EMAIL KIM wolcottsupervisor@rochester.rr.com OR MARTY AT maman@wcwsa.org.
CHRIS LEE- CHANNEL UPDATE- LATER DIG IS WORKING OUT WELL AGAIN. THIS YEARS DIG TOOK TWO DAYS. HEAD DEAD NORTH WHEN LEAVING OR ENTERING THE CHANNEL ONTO THE LAKE AND- DON’T VEER OFF. PERMITS FROM DEC AND ARMY CORP HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AGAIN THROUGH COUNTLESS HOURS OF WORK FROM CHRIS LEE.
