.
FINANCE:
Barbara Myers stated that the information for the Oversight Committee has been sent to all members of the committee and three members attended the meeting last month. The first six months of the year have been distributed; from now on the committee will get only the month in review.

Barbara Myers submitted her written report as follows:

All activities and expenditures are within the normal budget expenditures although there have been increased costs dealing with new state requirements for water testing. These are being tracked and will be taken into consideration for next year’s budget. Most of the effort for last month was in response to the motion passed at the April 17th AGM. The Financial Chair, Barbara Myers has acted to help establish a Member Financial Over Site Committee per member request. The committee was formed of members who wished to serve and is independent of the Board and its functions. Any questions regarding information provided the committee should be directed to the Financial Chair and every effort will be made to answer them in a timely manner. This is being done to simplify the process and be sure that all members are given the same information and to keep from increasing accounting and administrative costs for LISECC.
Three members of the Over Site Committee met after the board meeting on June 16th with the Financial Chair and requested that records be sent via e-mail for their review. In addition to these members I have spoken or met with three other individual who are to serve as members and one alternate on the Over Site Committee. I decided to be fair and accurate that all members will receive printed versions of the Over Site Records, which are maintained by the Financial Chair to monitor all deposits, EFT and all checks written on the LISECC checking account. E-mail versions, where applicable, will also be sent for their review. All committee members have been supplied with printed versions of the first 6 months of 2002 so they can review all information related to the cost of running LISECC and our water system for the entire year that the motion passed is related to. In addition all members will be supplied with printed and/or e-mailed copies of each month’s records for the rest of the year and until the next AGM for their review.
The Committee Members are: Victor Armfield, Ron Bain, Jackie Kehoe, Chuck Ortego, Louise Weber (Alternate Member), and Scott Wills.
Jackie Granger submitted her written report:
LIENS – Currently there are 18 active liens on 11 properties. No change. 
No unusual bills were received.
At 50 % of the year complete LISE has expended 48 % of the budget.
Jackie Granger stated that a meeting was held with a consultant from Merrill Lynch regarding the situation of our reserves. He will present some written recommendations for investments; these will be distributed to the Board prior to the next meeting for discussion.

ADMINISTRATION:
Lucy Bain stated that a meeting has not been held but will hopefully prior to next month. Committee members are: Neva Buechner, Grace Briskey, Mike Wardell, and Sandra Peterson.

Bob Bowman stated that the conduct of the Annual Meeting needs to have rules established. Discussion followed. 

MARINE:
Bob Bowman stated that Marge Warner is not here. The new rules were posted and so far this year it appears that there is not as much traffic at the marina as in previous years.

NATURAL DISASTER:

Bob Bowman stated August 5 & 7, 6 to 9 pm at the Grange there is a presentation by DNR regarding making properties and homes more fire wise. It may be that the Department of Natural Resources will make appointments to look at your property at that time.

SOCIAL:
Leslie Quento submitted a written report:

What a turnout we had!  It was the largest gathering for the potluck dinner we've had in quite a few years!  Thank you all for coming.  There was wonderful food for all......the Club provided Bar-b-q hot dogs, macaroni salad, baked beans and chips, and members provided the rest.........quite a feast! Thank you once again to all members who brought food to share. A great big thank you goes to my daughter Chelsea and her friend Meagan for an outstanding job of helping me decorate.  Their smiles and eagerness made the job go so much faster.  We were done before we knew it!  Thanks to Alex Mech for jumping right in with whatever help I needed.  No job was too big or too small for that young man!  Thank you also to Mark Mech and Bill (I remembered your first name, but unfortunately not your last!) for the great job of handling the feisty bar-b-q...the hot dogs were done to perfection. A big thank you goes to Kevin Southworth and Steve Lawson for their wonderful pyrotechnic bravado!  They did an outstanding job.  The fireworks were outstanding as usual.  I really hope this wasn't our final year.  I'll know more after the new year rolls around and the new law goes into effect. 
Now on to a sad note........we had some Members and Guests that decided that the decorations were there to take for their own enjoyment.  Due to that fact, I am now really short on decorations for the next 4th of July Social.  When I spend so much of my time in decorating the Clubhouse, it is for the benefit and enjoyment of all members and their guests who attend.  I don't do it for the sole purpose of supplying others with decorations or giving their children something to play with........and yes, we know who took them.  I'm not sure they realize that to replace them not only comes out of my budget, (which ultimately lessens each subsequent Social), but it also comes out of everyone's dues. 
Please don't forget the Salmon Barbecue on August 17th.  Salmon and corn on the cob will be for sale......(same price as in prior years)  bring your favorite side dish or dessert and whatever you want to drink.  (The Club only provides coffee or hot tea). There will also be raffle prizes at this Social.  Mark your calendars for the best Salmon dinner you ever ate!!!  See you all in August!
Discussion followed. 
 

QUARRY:
Ricardo Camarillo stated that no complaints or inquiries regarding noise have been received. Ricardo met with Mr. Bride and conveyed that message.
Ricardo applied to the Whatcom County Surface Mining Advisory Committee and has been accepted.
 
 

OLD BUSINESS: 
Laura Mork asked about the sign being posted. Bob Bowman stated that the sign will be going up in the next week or so.

NEW BUSINESS:
Ricardo Camarillo asked about the survey and why it was under Planning. Jackie Granger stated that the title was the same as the survey last year as that was under the same format. Ricardo stated that Planning Survey questions should be referred to Jackie Granger. 

 
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 11:05 am.
 
 



Next meeting will be August 18, 2002 at 9:30 a.m.
