Joe brought up the possibility of doing further testing on the lakes for water quality since it has been 10 years since the last more comprehensive testing was done.
Trash/Dumpster Removal: Josh spoke with Tony and Nick regarding a possible Trash Day. Initially looking at a dumpster, it was decided that if we sponsored this activity, we could have multiple trucks during the day available for members to discard items. We would reimburse the drivers by the hour and pay for dump fees, with a possible budget of around $700. Josh is checking to see if a date can be worked out in July.
