and conversations with our team, that will enable
them to produce a document showing the next 20
years of asset repair and replacements. This study
ultimately only looks at the top 200 or less items.
Currently, B. Rogers does not have an anticipated
date that the study will be delivered in draft form.
8. Geese Issues at Beach.
• B. Rogers stated currently, any member or guest
that uses the Lake Geneva Beach, will notice large
amounts of geese droppings. Earlier in the year, and
continually throughout the year, Brian has been in
contact with the DNR and US Fish and Wildlife
Agencies trying to come up with additional solutions
for our geese issues. Actions already attempted
include coyote decoys, grape cool aid spraying, loud
noises, dogs, blank caps. Brain asked about the
agencies relocating the geese and this is not an option.
Geese ultimately will keep returning to their nesting
areas each year. In talking the with the DNR,
harvesting these animals by our team members in
the early goose season would be the best choice. Brian
has received direction from the DNR on how to take
these animals and would like to have the Board of
Directors permission to harvest these geese safely
during the first week of September. Brian would like
permission for the team to shoot these geese and
asked for permission to be exempt from Rule 5.01 for
the first week of September.
Motion by T. Chambers, supported by N. Schulz to
approve the CCR Team to harvest the geese within the
cabin area during the first week of the State of Michigan
Early Goose Season annually. Motion Approved
Unanimously 8 – 0.
• B. Rogers has also received multiple quotes for
beach sand cleaning equipment. The equipment that
Brian was looking at will scoop the sand into a
conveyor belt sifter, shacking out the sand back to
the ground, and then at the top of the equipment
dump any large items such as goose dropping, pine
cones and stones, into a hopper. The hopper is then
disposed of at a location or in the garbage. Brian
received pricing from different companies, and the
prices range from $13,000 to $25,000 depending on
the piece of equipment, the size and more. Knowing
the price is too high, Brian has been approached by
members with possible ways to fund this project and
will keep the Board of Directors up to date.
9. Loader Update.
• B. Rogers stated the front-end loader that was
recently purchased has some mechanical issues
6
within the last month. The loader was picked up by
Michigan CAT and repaired at their facility in
Kalkaska. All the work done was under warranty or
recall. We received the loader back on Monday August
3rd and on August 10th it began having issues again.
Currently, the loader is unable to move. Rick has
called Michigan CAT and we expect a technician here
this week. This again postpones some of the work
that we have been trying to accomplish.
10. Dowsett Trail Road Experiment.
• B. Rogers gave an update of road improvements
that the Maintenance Team has undertaken.
11. Rule 7.01.
• B. Rogers inquired about Rule 7.01 regarding
campers. B. Rogers asked which direction the Board
of Directors would like him to go forward with
regarding campers that are within pickup truck beds.
Currently, he allows them as long as they are still
within the pickup. He asked if he should be treating
this the same as a motorhome or differently? In the
end, the Board of Directors told him to continue as
is. The Board of Directors added this item to the
Open Issue Log.
12. Rifle and Pistol Ranges.
• B. Rogers stated the Maintenance Team and the
Shooting Sports Committee partnered together to
complete some major modifications to the target
holders on the rifle and pistol ranges.
Motion by M. Smith, supported by M. Ames to approve
the Manager’s Report as presented. Motion Approved
Unanimously 8-0.
