Gang Awareness Seminar Teaches Residents the Facts About Gangs
Photos by Chief Roland Wood
This May, a Gang
Awareness Seminar,
hosted by our Public Safety
Department, was held for
CWL residents. Sergeant
Dammon of the Belvidere
Police Department spoke to
residents about street gang
activity in the Boone County
area. A street gang is a
group of people who form
an allegiance for a common
purpose and engage in violent, unlawful, or criminal
activity. Residents received
information about gang
identification and ways to
work together to limit their
activity.

President’s Prerogative
by Ken Dillenburg, Board President
Hello everyone, and welcome to summer at
Candlewick!
Tom Pinkowski brought up an excellent point regarding our road problems. He has observed some garbage
containers not being taken close enough to the road so
the arms of the garbage trucks can reach them. The trucks
then pull over the edge of the roadway, breaking portions
of the asphalt so the arm can lift the container to empty it.
Excellent point, Tom. We have asked the trucks to remain
on the roadway, but if they can’t reach the containers,
what are they to do? Let’s all join in to solve this. On a
personal note, I had a yellow tag on my container some
time ago asking me to take it out further, so I was no
better.
Continuing with the roads theme, I am sure you are
seeing some of the markings on our roads. There will be
some repairs, but from what I am hearing from the Roads
Commission, we need to address the shouldering quickly.
When water is standing on the road edges, it seeps under
the road, undermining the base, and with the weight of
vehicles, the asphalt “alligators.” This term is from the
asphalt looking like alligator skin when it breaks apart.
The commission is on top of it, and I am sure their final
plan for the year will serve us well. There is a lot of leg
work involved in this project.
Planning for the Outpost rebuild is progressing. All
the ducks have to be in a row, and there has to be a final
Board vote before it actually breaks ground. This type
project leaves no room for “whoops!” when it is underway. We are wanting to get this going, but it is better to
be safe than sorry.
As Dad used to say, “There was a hitch in the gitalong.” Fortunately, some of us made it out Friday
instead of Saturday for the Candlewick clean-up day.
Saturday turned out to be rainy and cold, but a few brave
souls showed up anyway. This year was not as strong as
some in the past but all can see why. Chuck Corso did
a fine job organizing the event, but Mother Nature had
other plans.
Another project that deserves recognition is goose egg
addling. Jim Brefeld and the group of volunteers spent
several Saturday mornings oiling goose eggs in the nests
to keep resident geese from hatching. If the eggs are
removed instead of oiling, the geese will simply re-lay
their eggs. Over fifty potential resident geese were kept
from hatching and making Candlewick their home. When
you use the beach or parks and come home with clean
soles on your shoes, these are the folks to thank!
On an entirely different subject, I have been asked a
few times why we mow our dam. It is difficult and time
consuming. The dam is mowed for multiple reasons.
Ground cover is necessary to stabilize the soil, but tall,
deep-rooted grasses and woody vegetation will actually
destabilize the soil, making pathways for water to seep

Usage
The Rules and Regulations state that a Candlewick Lake
Photo ID Membership Card (Member Card) are required
for use of the amenities (pool, golf course, fitness center,
gymnasium, and boating and fishing facilities). The rules
further state that any Member that is not in good standing
shall have their Membership Card privileges suspended
until said Member rectifies his/her membership standing.
This includes the privileges for all registered Members.
The rules do not say that a Member can’t pay the daily fee
for use of the amenities. The Board of Directors passed
a resolution at the April 21, 2015 Board meeting that any
Owner, Associate Members, Tenant, and any other family
members who reside in a House will not be allowed to
pay the daily fee to use the amenities if their amenity
privileges have been suspended. Additionally any Owner,
Associate Members, Tenant, and any other family members who reside in a House and are not in good standing
they will not be permitted to rent any of the Candlewick
Lake facilities.

However, a Boone County Building permit and inspections are required. Please contact the County Building

but the size does not change, Candlewick Lake approval
isn’t necessary. However, if the size does change or if

Egg Addling 101
By Dale Miedema
This mother goose was very busy with this nest close to the
beach.
Our “posse” for week three: Dale Miedema,Todd Jones,
Chuck Hart, Tom Pinkowski, Marge Olson, Lee Odden, and
Jim Brefeld (behind the camera).
Early spring is the season we have to think about trying
to control the burgeoning goose population on our lake.
While most of us agree that the geese are nice to watch
on the water and beautiful in flight, most everyone can
do without the big mess they leave behind on our piers,
docks, lawns and most all, our park areas. While the bird
is a protected species, the state of Illinois issues permits
for the humane efforts to control reproduction. Egg
addling (or oiling) is by far the most humane way to deal
with the overpopulation of these birds.
Our egg addling team has been led by Jim Brefeld
for the last eight years, and when it comes to locating
nests, Jim is one of the best. About mid-March, Jim asks
for volunteers to begin the program. The first outing is
mainly an exploratory hike around the lake looking for
the nests and documenting their locations. The teams
look for the lone male goose loitering offshore, and if he
swims away as we approach, there’s nothing there, but if
he becomes aggressive, it’s a sure bet that the female and
the nest is nearby. A gentle push from a broom gets the
female off the nest. While two team members keep the
two furious birds at bay, the eggs are oiled with common
cooking oil which will stop their development. If we were
to remove the eggs early in the season, they would just
lay more. Every bird that is not hatched here at our lake
is one less bird that will return each year to raise another
family here. The parents of the failed hatching will probably choose a different lake or pond next year, thinking
that Candlewick might not be the best place to build a
nest, and that’s exactly what we would like to happen!
Many thanks to all our volunteers who participated this
year. We couldn’t have done it without your help! The
program runs about five to six weeks, and since not all of
us can be available every week, we need all the help we
can get!
On the first week, there were 50 eggs located in over
a dozen nests scattered all around the lake, the Savannah
Oaks pond, and the sediment pond just below the dam. As
the program continued, we would find broken egg shells
around some nests indicating that predators, probably raccoons, had made an unwelcome visit. On our final outing
on May 7, the remaining eggs were collected and buried.
All in all, the addling program has been very effective
over the years, with a lot fewer geese than when it all
began. No doubt the program isn’t 100 percent effective,
as I’m sure that in late May we’re sure to see more than
a few of those little fuzzy balls of feathers swimming
around, and all the guys and gals that helped out with the
program will secretly be thinking “I wonder where YOU
were hiding.” Oh well, ya win some, ya lose some.

A Night to Remember
Photos and article by Dale Miedema
Heartland Community Church hosts a “Night to
Remember” for our kids that might not get to attend that
spring ritual, called prom, and I was suprised to hear that
two of our local ladies, Ms. Nicole Leutik and Ms. Tina
Masbruch, were in attendance a few Fridays back, on
April 26th.
The ball gets rolling around mid-March when requests
are placed in the weekly bulletin for donations of formal
clothing (tuxedos, pretty gowns and such) along with
requests for volunteers with expertise in sewing, fitting,
makeup and hairdressing. There is also a program where
a family can choose to sponsor one individual as well.
This was my third year helping with traffic control
on this special night, so I got to see the guests as they
arrived, and also as they emerged from the royal treatment dressed to the nines. The excitement in their eyes as
they come out and get in the stretch limo is something to
behold. After a ride in the limo, they are dropped off at
the main entrance to the church, where a loud and happy
crowd of “paparazzi” are waiting and cheering while
hundreds of flashing cameras record their walk down the
red carpet!
By the time I came in from the parking lot, the dinner
dishes were being picked up, and the dancing was well
under way. I saw many wild and crazy and unique dance
moves out there on the floor, but all the guests were smiling ear to ear! I bet our attendees from Candlewick were
enjoying it all, as it is truly “A Night to Remember.”

Regulations
•
A State Fishing license is required for all persons age
16 and over.
• Your Candlewick Lake Member ID is your Candlewick
fishing permit. You need to carry this with you while
you are fishing on the lake.
• A guest fishing pass is required for each guest. It
may be a non-designated seasonal or a one day, both
can be purchased at the Administration office or at the
Recreation Center. Guest passes must be purchased by

• Guest use of the lake is permitted provided that the property owner is on or within the immediate vicinity of the
lake at all times. The immediate vicinity is defined as
the shoreline or a property owner’s lakefront property.
Exceptions will be made when there are extenuating circumstances, predetermined by Public Safety that would
prevent a property owner from being with their guest.
The property owner is responsible for contacting Public
Safety, in advance, so that the request may be considered and logged. The log will be maintained so that an
individual that has an “approved situation” will not have
to call Public Safety every time their guest wants to use
the lake. If Public Safety Staff members or certified volunteers see any pattern of abuse to this rule exception,
it will result in a withdrawal of the exception privilege
for the remainder of the season/year. When there are
extenuating circumstances that prohibit the property
owner from being on or within the immediate vicinity of the lake, the property owner must still be within
Candlewick Lake. (Policy 09-11)No Minnows allowed

Lake Issues June 2016
Using the lake area for Fun and Recreation with
warmer days finally here, is what we all have been waiting for. The question is, “Will we follow the rules that
apply to the activities we participate in?”
However we choose to use the lake, be it by boat,
personal watercraft, water skis or even enjoying the lake
from the shoreline, we all need to use common sense and
be respectful to others using the space nearby.
Safety * Space * Respectful * Responsible are words
to understand.
Following rules and using common sense example:
• Respect to others by keeping a safe distance
• Fishing hooks cause pain to people and cause damage to property.
• State Laws and Association Rules serve a purpose to
remind us to be SAFE in our actions.
• Know and follow the “Rules of the Water.” Yes,
these rules are just as important as a driver of a car
must know and follow the Rules of the Road.
Reminder: Keep all your water sports equipment clean
and in good working order. Please*DON’T LITTER*(the
lake, the shore, the parks the roadways). Please DON’T
TOSS-THROW ROCKS from shoreline areas. Tthey
have a purpose to keep the soil from falling into the lake.
Note: It was sad to see the lack of participation for the
“Boating Safety” presentation given by Officer Brian Alt
of the Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources.
Please use the lake responsibly and safely.

That the money
from the cans
collected at the
three can bins
(Castaway,
Highland Valley
Green, and
the Recreation
Center
Peninsula) is
used for funding
projects to
benefit both the
lake and the
community. The funds have been used to help pay for
fish stocking, building fish structures, purchase of a
GPS that is used for lake related issues, lake plantings,
waders, laser lights (to chase the geese), and the Kids
Fishing Tournament. If you have aluminum cans
that you are either throwing away or putting in the
recycling bin, please consider bagging them and taking
them to one of the can bins located in Candlewick.
The Friends of Candlewick have recently voted
to use funds from the cans for projects that could
either benefit the lake and/or the community. This
is expanding the scope beyond specific lake use, and
may be used to benefit the entire community where

Public Safety
A
Message from the Chiefboarding
of Public
Safety
and boating. However, with these activities
by Chief Roland Wood
[email protected]
Greetings from Public Safety
Is this not the coldest spring we have seen in quite
some time? The other night, we had near record-setting
low temperatures. I will say though; the daytime afternoon temperatures have been quite nice; cool with low
humidity. It’s always nice to know summer is just around
the corner. School will be letting out soon, and the kids
will be home. Be patient, summer is about here.
With the cool temperatures at night, mild temps during
the day, and frequent rain every week, grass is growing
very quickly. So far this year, the number of warnings
and violations are down from the past several years: but
this can change quickly. Please keep up with your grass
cutting and help your neighbor if you suspect they need
help for whatever reason.
Curfew Enforcement
With our children’s upcoming summer break and the
warm weather, I would like to bring up the subject of
our curfew ordinance and our intentions of enforcing
the curfew. The ordinance states: curfew regulations for
children 17 years of age and younger shall be 11:00 PM
Sunday through Thursday of each week and 12:00 AM
Friday and Saturday of each week. Our enforcement of
the curfew will be strict. As is usually the case, the late
night/early morning hour incidents are frequently handled
mutually by our Public Safety Department and the Boone
County Sheriff’s Office. The main reason is the frequent
evidence of underage consumption of alcohol. If you have
teenage children, please speak to them of our concerns
and help us prevent any incidents which may occur in the
future.
Pet Maintenance
During our weekly reports Public Safety releases the
number of calls for loose and/or barking dogs. Generally,
these numbers are much too high. During every response
to a dog complaint, the thought of enforcing our pet maintenance rules with a warning or citation is considered.
Many times, circumstances dictate this enforcement. On
some occasions, Boone County Animal Control needs to
be summoned. Upon their arrival, the cost due to enforcement goes up substantially.
All of this can be avoided if pet owners are more
considerate of their neighbors and their pets. If your pet
is barking, ask yourself why and go and check on the pet.
If there is an issue, do something about it. Teach your
children how to handle the family pet. Do not leave your
pet outside for an extended period or in foul weather, then
depart your home. This is a good way to have a citation
mailed directly to your home. Our officers cannot discuss
the issue with your pet.
Please keep your pets and their actions in the forefront
of your thoughts. I’m sure your pet would want you to do
the same.
Stay Safe Around Water this Summer
Some of the most popular summertime activities in
Illinois are water activities, such as swimming, paddle
comes the risk for drowning and life changing injuries
that are very preventable.
Drowning occurs with people of all ages, but the highest drowning rates are children ages 1-4. Statistics from
the Centers for Disease Control show that for every child
who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency
treatment care for nonfatal submersion injuries, which can
result in severe brain injury.
The second highest drowning rate occurs among the
ages of 15 to 24 years old. For this age group, the drowning most frequently occurs in natural bodies of water, and
alcohol often is a factor.
In preparing for summer water activities, consider the
following main contributing factors to aquatic deaths and
injuries:
• Lack of Swimming ability: Children as young as 1 year
of age can be enrolled in swimming classes. Everyone
should have basic swimming skills, which include floating, breath control and moving through the water.
• Lack of Close Supervision: Even children with swimming skills need close supervision in or around water.
Drownings happen quickly and silently. Most drowning
victims cannot call out for help and can lose consciousness in the water in as little as 20 seconds. Do not rely
on recreational floating devices such as foam noodles or
water wings instead of supervision. When children are
around any water, designate one adult to be in charge at
all times. Drownings do happen at facilities with lifeguards, so do not rely on lifeguards for total supervision
of young children.
• Failure to Wear Lifejackets: U.S. Coast Guard
statistics show 88 percent of victims who drowned in
boating accidents were not wearing lifejackets.
• Alcohol Use: In the adolescent and adult age groups,
alcohol is associated with up to 70 percent of deaths
involving water activities. Talk to teenagers and
young adults about water safety and in particular
the role that alcohol consumption might play. Avoid
alcohol use during activities in and around the water.
• Lack of Knowledge About Natural Water Hazards:
Know the meaning of and obey warnings by colored
beach flags. Beware of rip currents, which can occur
in large bodies of water (including the Great Lakes).
If you are caught in a rip current, swim parallel
to shore until you are free of the current and then
swim to shore in a diagonal direction. Small rivers
and streams also can be hazardous for canoeing and
kayaking after a heavy rain. When in doubt regarding
stream conditions, check with local park officials.
• Importance of CPR Training: Everyone should be
trained in CPR. Seconds count when responding
to victims of drowning. The more quickly CPR is
performed on drowning victims, the better their
chances of improved outcomes.1
For information on water accident prevention, visit the
American Red Cross at www.redcross.org or the Centers
for Disease Control at www.cdc.gov
Let’s keep Candlewick Lake a beautiful, safe place to
live.

Signs
Please be reminded that the only type of signs that are
allowed in Candlewick Lake are real estate and political
signs. Real estate signs must be placed against the house
or garage and may not be out in the yard. Political signs
are only allowed to be displayed 30 prior and 10 after an
election. Political signs may not be placed in the ditch,
on common ground or any CWL owned property.
Contractors are not permitted to place signs on your
property. These include but are not limited to siders,
roofers, landscapers, remodeling and driveway companies or any other type of construction.
In addition no event or any other type of signs are allowed.
When you are having work done on your house or
yard, please advise your contractor that they may not display their signs. Citations will be issued to the member if
signs are displayed.
Mowing Requirements
It is the responsibility of each property owner to mow
and maintain the ditch area in front of their property.
Please be sure to mow the entire ditch, up to the road
shouldering. This applies to the ditch in front of a vacant
lot or a developed lot (lot with a house on it). If you hire
a contractor to mow your lawn or vacant lot, be sure they
are aware of the rule.
If there is concrete curbing in front of or on the corner
of your vacant or developed lot, the grass must be
trimmed around the curbing. Also, trimming is required
around any trees on a lot (vacant or developed) and sign
posts, mail box posts and utilities boxes that are in the
ditch area in front of or on the corner your property.
When a vacant lot is mowed, it is expected to be
mowed entirely. Rows (strips) of uncut grass is not
acceptable.
New Address or Phone
Number: Contact
Office with Change
If you have recently moved, please take a few minutes
to contact the Administration Office to give us your new
address. Many mailings done by the Association are sent
out bulk mail. Unfortunately, the post office will not
forward bulk mail, but will instead return it at a considerable fee. We are charged about $4.00 to receive the CWL
News back.
If you have disconnected your house phone (land line)
and are only using cell phones chances are the Office
does not have your current number. The Association has
no way of contacting you in an emergency situation. The
same is true if you change your phone number.
Please take a few moments to contact the
Administration Office at 815-339-0500 to be sure we
have your address and phone number(s) on file.
Use of Common Ground
Use of the common ground for personal property is prohibited unless the General Manager grants
permission. This includes gardens, woodpiles, etc.
Trampolines, swing sets, pools, boats, etc. are strictly
prohibited and permission for these type of items will
not be granted. If you would like to use the common
ground, you may pick up an application form in the
office, to be filled out and submitted for approval by the
General Manager.
Vacant Lots for Sale
If you have your unimproved (vacant) lot for sale,
you may keep the selling information on file in the
Candlewick Lake office. This information will be
available to anyone interested in purchasing a lot in
Candlewick Lake.
Forms are available in the Administration Office,
which must be filled out and placed in the book by the
property owner. It is the responsibility of the lot owner
to remove the form when the lot has been sold or is no
longer for sale.
Candlewick Lake Association does not act as a selling
agent for property owners. By signing the form, you are
authorizing Candlewick Lake Association to provide the
information to the general public.
Some of the listings go back to 2009. If you have put
a form in the book, you may want to consider stopping in
the office to review your form to be sure it has updated
information with regards to your address, phone number,
asking price etc.
12 JUNE 2016
Information
There will be no financials in this paper and the next paper will include year-end
audited AND May.
Garbage Proper Disposal
Information
Normal household trash must be put out in sealed containers. Bags set next to the
toter are prohibited and citations will be issued to those violating the rules. If you need
an additional toter, please contact Advanced Disposal at 815-874-8431. If you only
occasionally have an additional bag of garbage that doesn’t fit in your toter, you may put
it in a regular garbage can.
You are required to have your garbage at the curb by 6:00 AM on the day of collection. To avoid being missed, please be sure to have your garbage out by 6:00 AM.
An electronic recycling drop-off site is located at the Boone County Highway
Department.
Hazardous waste materials (paints, paint thinner, oil, etc.) can be taken to the Rock
River Water Reclamation District located at 3333 Kishwaukee Street in Rockford. Their
hours are Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Sundays from noon to 4:00 PM. You
can call 815-387-7510 to get a complete list of what is accepted and what is not. Things
they don’t accept are compressed gas, explosives and radioactive material.
Tires (except tractor tires) may be taken, up to four at a time, to Rock River Water
Reclamation District.
Sharps (used syringes, needles and other medical equipment) should not be disposed
of in your household trash or recycling as this poses a significant health risk to waste
haulers. Anyone working in the trash handling industry can unexpectedly come in
contact with these materials and is in danger of accidentally puncturing themselves and
be at risk of contracting any number of diseases – including Hepatitis B and HIV – from
contaminated syringes. Most pharmacies offer a free sharps collection program. You
can pick up a sharps container at no charge; once your container is full, you can exchange it for a new container. This free service is a simple solution for the safe disposal
of SHARPS.
Garbage Pick Up Holidays
Include:
New Year’s Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
Please remember that pick up will be
pushed back a day following a holiday.
Bulk Garbage Pick Up
Every year, there are two bulk garbage pick up days scheduled. This is normally
scheduled for the Thursday following the garage sales.
This means that Advanced Disposal will pick up unlimited “household items” on that
day only. Please keep in mind that every week, you are allowed to put out one extra
“household item” with your normal garbage.
Please make sure that your garbage is placed off the roadway and shoulder and is
secured.
The following items are not accepted and will not be picked up:
• Electronics
• Appliances
• Car Parts or Tires
• Water Softeners or Heaters
• Any Type of Hazardous Chemicals or Waste Materials
• Paints or Oils
• Batteries of Any Kind
• Construction and Demolition Debris
PAYMENT OPTIONS
Candlewick Lake Association offers several different ways to pay assessments; see below
for details. An account is considered delinquent if payment of dues in full or an ACH is not
processed by May 1st.
ACH – EXISTING SETUP
What do I need to do? If you have a current ACH in place, you consent to the current year’s monthly amount, and there are no changes required then you need to do
nothing! Again, if you had an ACH processed in March, we will process the next payment
in May unless otherwise directed by you. Your Electronic Fund Transfer Authorization
Agreement is for the withdrawal of funds in payment of the current Candlewick Lake
Association Dues Assessments, Road Trust/Long Term Capital Funding, and accumulated
interest. We will begin taking out the upcoming year’s (2016-2017 Fiscal Year) assessments
in May. If you do not consent to continue your ACH and/or would like to pay in full, you
must notify us in writing on or before April 15, 2016. Unless we receive such a request,
your current ACH Agreement will continue with your consent to the new current year’s
monthly assessment. Attach a voided check to a completed Electronic Fund Transfer
Agreement if you want to utilize a new bank account. Forms must be received in the
Candlewick Lake Office on or before April 15, 2016. Your account is automatically debited
on the first business day of each month beginning May 1, 2016.
ACH –NEW SETUP
What do I need to do? If you need to start an ACH for the first time, then complete the
ACH form, attach a voided check and return it to the Candlewick Lake Association Office.
Forms must be received in the Candlewick Lake Office on or before April 15, 2016. Your
account is automatically debited on the first business day of each month beginning May 1,
2016. Return ACH forms to the following address:
Candlewick Lake Association Office
13400 Highway 76

Rich Devries of 674 Candlewick Dr. NE passed out a “June
Fool” (?) paper to the Board. DeVries stated last weekend was
a good weekend and when motorcycles are at stop signs they go
full throttle and it is too loud. DeVries said that the speed limit
is 25 MPH and that is what he drives and people come flying up
behind him on the boulevard. DeVries said he can’t make the
two announcements that Pam gave but wished he could. DeVries
stated two people have street worthy golf carts and wants golf
cart parking spaces here. There was discussion on street worthy
vehicles and CWL rules. DeVries thanked the previous Board
and wished well to the new Board.
Bruce Buck of 225 Candlewick Dr. SE said he is concerned
about bikes being ridden four across in the dark with no lights
and wants the Board to set rules for bikes at night. Buck asked
if kids could get tickets. Buck stated on Sunday he was going
south on 76 and there was a flock of kids climbing over the fence
across from the dollar store and said that Public Safety should be
sitting at those streets to catch people. Buck said at 1:00 AM on
Saturday his doorbell rang and when he went to the door the kids
ran around the bushes; as he went to get a flash light a Public
Safety Officer came by and stopped and patrolled the area. Buck
said when he first moved here the incidents were published in
the paper and since it has been pulled out and thinks crime status
should be in the paper.

people renting rooms before they can proceed with any action.

NEW BUSINESS
1.)The issue of who can have free newspaper ads was
discussed. The following comments were made by various
Board members. Section 2.39 of the Board Policy states that
the General Manager approves free advertising in the paper,
website, etc. Styling for Pink and Judy Rio’s articles have
been in the paper recently. If an article is promoting a charity,
numerous people could want a free article in the paper. The key
is, will this charity benefit the residents of Candlewick. There
was discussion on registered charitable organizations. Some
organizations have to pay for their ads and it isn’t fair that some
do and some don’t. A suggestion was made to allow an article
if space is available. If someone asks for free advertising, it
will be considered. If they don’t ask, the General Manager
doesn’t know who is advertising until the proof comes out. It
was the consensus of the Board to leave Section 2.39 as is.
2.)Discussion was held on Board communication. Discussion
amongst the Board by e-mail is not allowed. One or two
members e-mailing is okay but a quorum of the Board can’t
have discussion via e-mail.
3.)Goals for the year were discussed. One of the goals was
to start the Outpost by the end of the fiscal year. Discussion
was held on the Outpost with the Board’s ideas both pro and
con. The Board listed the following as their goals for the year:
the start of the Outpost; rewrite the Board Policy; work on the
General Manager’s contract; roads; reserve study; and entrance
beautification.
4.)The Board Policy was reviewed and several changes were
made throughout the book.
Balk asked about the children of Board members or employees
working in other Departments. It was the consensus of the
Board that this is okay so that the hiring process may be started
and will be on the agenda for the Board meeting for approval.
Budreau made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:34 PM,
seconded by Parisi. Motion carried unanimously.

into the dam through dead root paths and disturbed
areas of root balls. Mowing also makes our dam much
less inviting to burrowing species of animals. You can
imagine what deep burrows can do to dam stability.
Lastly, we have our dam inspected yearly, and it is very
difficult to see problems on an overgrown dam. Mowing
is a real pain in the neck, but necessary.
