Items of Discussion:

1. Irrigation in the neighborhood is apparently on two different systems. 24 zones make up the whole neighborhood with two controllers. One controller resides on the north side of Rob Phillips 16xxx, so Jason will check on a rental/lease agreement to have this controller mounted and power supplied by their residence. According to TPC, the amount of power that is provided to the controller is less than $1 per month. Jason to complete rental/lease agreement before October’s meeting. 10/12: Document has been drafted and will add in the electricity statement before being sent out to the Phillips’. 11/21: Document has been drafted and Jason will get out before year’s end.
2. Agreed to proceed with attaining a domain name for SLE. This domain will be procured through Marc Skinner. Springlakeestates.org Marc’s company will also do the hosting for $10/month and we should be able to make updates to the website. Domain registration is complete. Now the work on the website is to get started by Marc Skinner and Sean Reagan. 10/12: Sean will start on the web content and maybe come to the next board meeting to discuss how we can add/approve content that will be uploaded. 11/21: Brian to advise from Sean on what is next. Marc Skinner to get the site up and live by the end of the year 2011.

Install this year, Brian to locate with a paint can. 11/26: Located and ready for install.
4. Jason to review the boat slips agreement and modify it for a “Jet Ski with Lift Seasonal lease agreement”.

To be completed by year’s end. 11/21: Jason still working on this agreement.
5. Chad to quote the cost of a Fence for the docks area Portable Toilet/Garbage Receptacle location. It was agreed that it should be in the rocks area of the third set of docks to the east. Chad provided a quote to include six footings. Discussion still needed on when this will be installed. Fall completion to be done by Chad. 10/12: Chad to let us know when the Fence will be installed and completed. Goal is to get it done in October if possible. Two footings to be drilled at the same time for the canoe rack as well. 11/21: Spring Install per Chad.
6. Chad to find out if the asphalt sidewalk down to the lake is within our domain or is it Prior Lake’s responsibility. There is a large sinkhole down by the large retaining wall.

Thought was that it was $45 for a pre-lien and then $100 more for the lien. Chad to advise. 10/12: Chad to investigate the cost and advise. All members agree that this should be completed to recoup the delinquent dues from 16281 Stemmer. This should include their boat slip dues as well. 11/21: Chad to put a lien on the property.
