Bob Bowman asked John Graham to explain the one unsatisfactory sample. John Graham stated that the sample is taken out of the tap and we usually take any filters off. We didn’t. Additional samples were taken from the houses around where the unsatisfactory sample was found, and all came back satisfactory. John continued that it is a good idea to sterilize your strainer or buy a new one occasionally. 

Darlene Stoffer stated that new members should go up to treatment plant and John will show you around; it is interesting and you will discover a lot of useful information.

Bob Bowman asked John Graham if he felt the conference was worth his while. John stated that it was a good conference and there was almost too much information.

Jackie Granger stated that the financials are not ready for presentation at this meeting, but will be ready at the regular meeting on April 21.

ADMINISTRATION:
Lucy Bain stated that the committee met shortly after the last board meeting. The recommendations were reviewed and a final set is ready. Thank you to committee members, this certainly shows that participation from members at large makes the process more meaningful.

Lucy stated that regarding the nomination for board members for the Annual General Meeting there are currently four on the list. Anyone interested contact Lucy or Jackie; more is better. Jackie Granger stated that ballots will be printed on Wednesday so anyone that wishes to go on the ballot must contact the office by Tuesday.

Robert Seckinger asked who is running. Lucy Bain stated the three incumbents and Ricardo Camarillo. There are still nominations from the floor so long as the person agrees to the nomination; if the nominee is not at the meeting then there should be some agreement in writing. Ricardo Camarillo stated that he would like your vote; he is interested in the community and would like to become involved.

MARINE:
Marge Warner stated that there will be a meeting after the general meeting for new members on the committee.
 

NATURAL DISASTER:
Bob Bowman read Frankie Small’s written report:

I have been in contact with the DNR in Sedro Wooley this past week. Marc Titus is the Fire Prevention Coordinator with Washington State Department of Natural Resources, North West Region. He has in the mail for me a publication I asked him to send, so it can be passed out at the Annual meeting. “Living with Fire” has all the information needed to understand the severity of risk of homes without giving ratings. Rating publications will be given out at the workshop at a later date. A meeting has been arranged with Marc and another DNR member, also Warner Webb from Bellingham and his assistant, also attending would be Duncan McLane, Lummi Island Fire Chief and I, on the 18th of April .They want to tour Scenic Estates and 2 homes are to be evaluated at this time, also they will tour the whole Island as well. I have volunteered my home as I know I have a fire hazard, where a tree grows through my deck and also living on a sloping lot. As a result of this meeting on the 18th we hope to make plans to set up a 1-day workshop for the whole Island. After seeing what damage can be done in a wild fire and knowing that DNR makes decisions on whose house to save and those not to [due to whether the owners have firewised or not,] I feel it is very important for Scenic Estates members to be informed. This workshop was so inspiring and I’m so pleased I went. Now I know that Scenic Estates was right in doing the tree trimming up at the lake for our members safety as well as the protection of our Cabana. 

SOCIAL:
Darlene Stoffer stated that lunch will be served at the Annual General Meeting and volunteers are needed for supplying sandwiches and desserts. Call Leslie Quento at (360) 758-7011. Volunteers were forthcoming from guests and the Board.

QUARRY:
Bowman stated that Denise Ranney is chair but there is no report.

PROPERTY COMPLIANCE: 
Barbara Myers stated that the county is becoming upset with some of the contact. The committee has not passed any new laws or require anything more. Everyone needs to be calm about this and thoughtful about what they are doing, some people are creating more problems than they know. Barbara stated that she gave the committee members an opportunity to close the committee but the members disagreed and wish to continue the committee and do their job.

Kate Underwood asked for clarification. Barbara Myers stated that the worksheet which was not meant for distribution has been passed to the county and the county is now stating that they may use this list for compliance. Barbara suggested that everyone be calm, talk to the board or another member to fix these problems. This needs to be worked out calmly. Rob Seckinger stated that a letter on LISECC letterhead started this problem with the county. Barb stated she is willing to talk to anyone after the meeting about specifics but the Board never performed any action. Discussion followed. 
 

OLD BUSINESS: 
Bob Bowman asked if there was any old business. None was stated
 

NEW BUSINESS:
Bob Bowman stated that there is some information in new business that needs to be taken care of.

Bob Bowman stated that the format of the annual meeting is under discussion. Jackie Granger stated that if Robert’s Rules are to be followed a motion needs to be made at the beginning of the meeting. Lucy Bain stated that the Robert’s Rules of Order gives meetings some semblance of order and it seems that it would be a good idea that the meeting be run using Robert’s Rules. Discussion followed.
