o        Water Usage

§         Starting with a garden hose & plug in the pump manually.

• Fire, Security And Safety

o        Pulsed IR Beam Alarm

§         New quote received by Pat

§         Phillips~$3500 + $255 for second siren and light + $81 permit.

o        Gate replacement proposal – Pat - ~$7800

o        Approximately $11,600 total for both improvements.

§         Steve – see both the beam and the gate as first lines of defense.

§         For some reason slats in the fence throw a curve to the burglars

§         CW – Only wanted to do the beams for now.

§         Steve – if we take the expense of the gate and divide it by 56 slips, it comes to $202 per slip.

§         Walt – The problem with either of these fixes is that it’s not protecting our garages from break-in.

§         Walt – We need to protect our garages by installing alarm systems.

§         Steve – We need to protect our perimeter first.

§         CW – The big picture is that the break-ins start by the thieves entering the moorage, then they break into cars, then they try the garages.

§         Walt – Suggest we offer members the opportunity to have a say in this decision – Gate? – Beams? – Alarm Garages?

§         Lorraine – We need to be proactive by a 2 prong approach.  1. We install beams and pay for it out of reserves.  2.  We also need to actively solicit input from the membership on whether we should expend funds on a new gate.

§         CW – We were elected to make these decisions so let’s not go the route of asking the membership for opinions.

§         Pat – Moved to expend reserves to install outdoor beams and upgrade the existing gate.   Motion seconded.  Motion passed with a vote of 4 yeas and 1 nea.

§         Additional questions – gate plans – how about other pieces – everything will be 6’ or higher – existing operators can still work.

o        Damage to fire extinguishers - Damages and repairs will be billed to the person responsible for damage.

• Architectural Review

o        #15 wants to repaint, new roof and new deck – ARC approved.
