INDEMNIFICATION-

Linda Brabant moved that we accept the wording in the “indemnification “ statement. Seconded by Jay Farr. Motion passed unanimously.

STORAGE FEE-

A $25,00 storage fee had already been established a few years ago but had been waived as the area was in need of cleaning, upgrading and the removal of abandoned trailers. These problems have been cleared up. Re-establishing this fee would generate $2,000.00 a year for upkeep of the storage area. More expansion and a fence are planned for the future. Linda Brabant moved to reinstate the $25.00 fee at the storage area and earmark those funds to go to the upkeep of that area. Jay Farr seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

CAMPGROUND WINTER STORAGE FEE-

The manager would like to see the $75.00 fee increased to store a trailer at the campground and at the same time discontinue the electric hookup fee for winter. The board needed to know how much more money this would generate for White Birch and if an increase would be worthwhile The manager will research this and come back to the next board meeting with some figures for discussion.
