KLPOA Board of Directors Meeting 8/4/25
Meeting called to order 7:08 pm.
Present: Mike Nicomini, Bob Fox, Tony Krucinski, Maureen Newman, Jenny Streeter, Fred Malone, Scott Cooper. Absent: Robin Carr, Martin Apryasz, John Villa, Bob Pepsis.
The Minutes of the July meeting were read and approved.
The Treasurer’s Report was read and accepted.
Bob F: asked if we’d received a bill from LMS. Discussion followed. While we’d paid a retainer it was believed that there should be a balance due. This can be verified by either Martin or Robin at the next meeting. Bob also suggested that we talk to Chris from LMS and find out what he thinks about hydro-raking this season. Fred agreed that this would be a proactive, rather than a reactive move. However, Bob noted that work would have to be done before lowering occurred. Further, if we do this, lake front owners should be given the option to pay for any additional work that they want done on their waterfront. Mike will talk to Martin and ask him to discuss the option with Chris.
Mike: was contacted by a realtor regarding a couple purchasing a home outside the KLPOA subdivision on Forest. They were interested in joining the association so Mike suggested there was a lot for sale on Lakeview. They will be purchasing it.
Tony: There were two teenaged boys on the Little beach swearing so loud he could hear them from the Big Beach. He went to confront them. When he got there, he found two State Troopers questioning them. The boys were not members of the lake and had come to the beach on a quad. The troopers wouldn’t allow them to leave on the quad telling them it had to be trailered home. Tony was able to handle the situation, so the troopers left. He spoke to the boys’ father, who was at first defensive, until he was informed of their behavior. Tony noted that John had checked these boys before, but they had badges then. John is also doing some evening / night patrols, there have been no further incidents. Tony suggested that we consider changing our rules to require guests to be accompanied by members. At this time, there is no recourse if someone gives out a badge and their “guest” causes problems. Scott recounted having a problem in the past when a member gave out a badge and their unaccompanied adult “guest,” unbeknownst to the member, was bringing groups of his friends to the beach. They were rowdy and foul mouthed.
Jenny: reported that there were sand wasps at the Little Beach. She had called an exterminator but cancelled his services because the wasps had disappeared before his scheduled visit. Tony suggested that we use “soda bottle” traps. Fred related that he had wasp issues and had hung a balloon in a paper which simulates a hive and discourages other bees from nesting close by.
Some general discussion occurred regarding Fred’s retirement from the board. There are a couple of KLPOA members interested in taking his place. These include Mike Beahm and Sean Power.
Jenny: is waiting for the art work / logos needed for the shirts etc.
Bob F: reminded the board that we need to include the nominating / ballot form in the newsletter.
Scott: will reserve the Baleville Church Hall for our Fall meeting on September 13th. He also noted that we passed our beach inspections. Since we don’t have lifeguards, the county requires us to have 911 phones. These were in poor shape and had to be replaced at a cost of $170 apiece for the two.
Mike: wants the boats along the Big Beach ramp to be moved so we can do work in the area. He also reminded the board to get any items they want included in the newsletter to Liz.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Scott Cooper Trustee / Secretary
