4.                  Identify members of our finance sub-committee

5.                  Review of our finance objectives for 2005/2006

Questions asked by community members at the end of the presentation:

Q.                Does the salary for our park attendant include more hours due to the lake level being up earlier?

A.                Yes

Q.                The park septic field was not originally designed to support a community of this size.  Designed in 1957, there were few houses and the intent was for recreational use only.  With the current repairs will it be sufficient to meet our needs?

A.                Yes, we will monitor and support the drain field with back up Honey Buckets to meet our needs.

Q.                What was done to the drain field?

A.        The drainfield was impacted by roots, which caused the failure.  The roots were cleared and 30 feet of 12-inch tile culvert was replaced with plastic sewage pipe.
