  2. Minutes approved from August (Pete, Bob).
  3. Presidents Report: Spoke with Steve Kaplan, no resolution on Westacres docking. Steve
    Kaplan assured that this is a legal position that they will not lose. Because of this Jeff does not
    think MSLIA should intervene. Beacon may write another article as many complained about
    the blatant one-sided view they presented. Motion by Greg, 2nd by Bob: Engage Gerald Fisher
    to file an intervention on behalf of MSLIA in the Westacres v West Bloomfield Township Board
    of Zoning Appeals, with cost not to exceed $10,000. After discussion the vote was 7,0,2 –
    Motion carried. Motion by
    Jeff, 2nd by Greg: Assess $62.50 per household and $0.50 per beach member effective
    January 2023, Amendment by Sara 2nd by Greg: No assessment will be levied in the event that
    Westacres pays full back dues. Both Motions carried unanimously.
