KLPOA Board of Directors Meeting 9/15/25

Meeting called to order 3:04 pm.

Present: Mike Nicomini, Jenny Streeter, Scott Cooper, Bob Pepsis, John Villa, Martin Apryasz, Mike Beahm Sean Power

The Minutes of the August meeting were read and approved.

The Treasurer’s Report was read and accepted. Martin suggested that we consider money to short-term CDs. Discussion followed and it was decided that we wait until LMS’s final bills were received. This could most likely be at the October meeting.

Martin: We have the permit to open the Emergency valve. It is valid starting on October first, but to allow members to utilize the lake and prepare for projects, we should wait until the fifteenth. Jenny suggested that we email all members to give everyone a heads up. Martin noted that we would leave the valve open for about six weeks before closing it and leaving the seasonal valve open until Spring. He also informed the Board that sand is blocking the E Valve. We have two options: open the valve and lose the sand, or hire a contractor to remove and save what’s there. Discussion followed and it was decided that it’s less cost effective to hire a contractor rather than replace the small amount of sand we’d lose. It was also suggested that we look into extending the Mafia Block wall to help prevent further erosion.

Mike N: Wanted to make sure boats are moved from the Big Beach ramp in anticipation of work that needs to be done in the area. Discussion followed. It was decided that we should ask all owners of boats stored at both beaches to remove them for the Winter so that work can be done around the storage racks. Jenny suggested that we should issue numbered stickers for new boats so we can better contact owners. There are several boats that are stored that seemed to have never been used and are simply taking up space for other members. Jenny volunteered to take pictures of un-moved, or unclaimed (orphaned) boats.

Bob P: Since we have new sign / bulletin boards, he will remove any of the redundant signs at both beaches that are mounted on the telephone poles or trees.

Martin: Chris from LMS was out on the lake and expects to do a Copper Sulfate treatment sometime this week. While people have asked for advanced notice of treatments, Martin noted that it’s often difficult, because of weather conditions, to know exactly when these will occur. He’ll let Liz M know we he gets word so an email can go out.

John: Will take in and store the rescue boards from both beaches. The manufacturer suggests removing some air when he does this and then re-inflate them in the Spring when they go back out.

Mike N: didn’t get sand for the Big beach this year but will do so before Winter.

John: Will get Jenny the artwork for the shirts, etc. that we want to sell before Christmas.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:43.

Respectfully submitted

Scott Cooper / Secretary
