2. Minutes approved from May.
3. Officer Election: Greg nominated Jeff C for President, Pete 2nd , Jeff accepted, approved unanimously. Jeff nominated Jon for VP, Greg 2nd, Jon accepted, approved unanimously.
4. Presidents Report: New hats and t-shirts are at the printer ready to produce, will hand that to new VP. Discussion about weeding and meeting at WB. We will need to notify WB when the weed harvester comes so they can monitor the activity. They have a misconception that the weeding equipment contributes to the erosion of the boat launch. Jon suggested that we video it if they are unable to attend. Sarah requested that we ask the weed harvester to come in close to their beach. They remove the swim area ropes and buoys every year but don’t feel he ever comes in close enough. Jeff wants to work on launch access for both weeding and fireworks for next year. Mike C volunteered to take that on under Government relations. We may want to research the public service contract for Morris Lake in greater depth to see what can be done. We have requested that Mr. Fisher refile our objections to Westacres ZBA variance request. Greg will send email to membership asking them to resend their comments to tbelcher and khines@wbtownship.org with subject line: PV22-0034 and Object to variance approval. Jeff would like info from Carim’s last chemical weed treatment investigation.
