Discussion of handling of mail votes for Board members was reviewed.  Roger and Bill will pick up the votes. No deadline was given for voting, but a notice will be placed on the web site.   The SLA Board will wait until the next meeting to fill a vacancy and will use a (Board) vote to add an individual to the list of Board members.

AIS funding – Investment Options - Huettner reported that the Investment Committee needs to make recommendations concerning who is a signer, what bank will be used and how authority will be invoked.  Informal consensus was that the President and the Secretary should included as members on the Investment Committee.

Report of 2019/2020 Financials to Members – September 30 marks the end of the fiscal year for the SLA.  The Treasurer will wait until September ends and then provide an appropriate report to be placed on the SLA web site.  This report will be in lieu of the Fall Meeting. 

Receiver of Notice Updates/Old Business:  Richard Shelby has sold the Jensen place; the new couple that moved in should be invited to join SLA.  The “log cabin” has been sold; SLA needs to obtain appropriate information on the new owners.

Committee Reports:  

Communications- Website – The committee chairs (Gwynne B and Betsy M.) and SLA will look at the website over the winter.  Changes and additions will be made to the website.  Roger suggested that we highlight selected members on the website; we discussed highlighting one family a month.  Vicky did this in past; this will be discussed with Abby.   Information on AIS should be added to the website.  (See note on adding button under “Water Quality.”

Membership – Consensus was that we need to track members and get the membership up.  SLA should do a second email and/or letter since we need the dues to come in. 

Water Quality – The numbers are down, probably due to a lot of rain.  A floating object was found; Bill H said that it was not a zebra mussel.  Consensus was that Abby should include a button or number for “zebra mussel” on the website. 

Social – There was nothing to report.

Photo contest – SLA will touch base with Abby.  The winner should be determined by an internal vote at the time of the October meeting 

 The meeting adjourned at 10:17 a.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Dora K. (Holly) Hayes

Secretary
