Doug Whitley commented on the Moultonborough town ordinance which requires a permit from the Moultonboro Land Use Office which documents the existing trees and saplings on the property. Before doing any cutting, one must acquire a permit.
Water Quality Testing - Sandra Kelly reported that the lake water is pristine but there was a tremendous runoff so the clarity is diminished this
year.
John Scudder thanked Doug Whitley for his work on the Newsletter and also Bob McCloud for the use of his beach and the Hospitality Committee for preparing the picnic.
Old Business: There was great participation in the boat parade - 25 boats.
If people have pictures, send them to John Scudder for the website.
There will probably be no loon chicks this year as the level of the lake has covered their nesting sites.
Raft registration - there has been no movement on that as yet.
There will probably be just one meeting each summer and now there is a meeting room available at the Moultonborough Library. John Scudder will check the by-laws re: number of meetings each year.
Laurie Whitley thanked John Scudder for his dedicated work this past year.
There has been no marine patrol presence yet on the lake this summer.
Re: boater certificates will be required by the end of next year for those with boats over 25 horsepower.
The meeting was adjuorned at 12:15 and the picnic on the beach followed.
Respectfully submitted,
Barbara Lauterwasser
