UNFINISHED BUSINESS

GYPSY MOTH APPROVAL-

Manager Fall explained the bid by “Earls”, what it included and how it compared with other bids. The total cost would be about $17,000.00. That is 1700 acres at $10.00 an acre. Linda Brabant moved that we accept the bid of $10.00 an acre. Seconded by Don Kuester. All in favor. Carried.

COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR

Frank Zakalowski, lot 1305, questioned the beaver situation.

Joni Farr, lot 931, would like to see the “private property” signs reinstated at the entrance. Manager Fall stated that new ones are in the process of being made.

Steve Bryant, lot 1, stated that we are getting a lot of “outside” snowmobile traffic in White Birch.

Don Kuester, lot 656, questioned the “Automated Gate Entry” topic. Much discussion ensued.

NEW BUSINESS

PROPANE TANKS-

Discussed the bid from Level Propane. The bid is for us to buy the tanks and we would get 44.9 cents a gallon until 2001. The purchase of the 4 tanks we need would be an expenditure of $4,000.00 of which we would save $3,000.00 a year in propane fees. If we just purchased 3 tanks at $3,000.00 the savings would nullify the cost of the tanks. Steve Bryant moved that we purchase 3 tanks and lease the 4^th and take the Level Propane bid. Seconded By Linda Brabant. All in favor. Motion carried.

ADJOURNMENT

Linda Brabant moved to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Pat Zakalowski. Meeting adjourned at 10:10am. The next board meeting will be April 10^th 1999 at 9:00am at the White Birch Clubhouse.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
