#### Report of Rear Commodore Chester –

- 1) The cameras in the basin have been installed and are in a locking cabinet. The electrical outlet and locking breaker will be installed in the cabinet in the next week or so. I am looking into external hard drive storage options and a backup battery pack for it too.
- 2) The electrician installed motion detector switches in both bathrooms already. He will also be installing dial switches for the stalls and showers. Many members have told me the lights get left on constantly in those areas so this should help eliminate the staying on all night. All of the switches can be turned off manually so when you're done please still try to turn them off on your way out. The main switch has a 15-minute timer. The shower and stalls will have 30-minute dial timers.
- 3) The locks have been changed on the shed. All Of the basin committee members will have keys. If anyone needs to get tools or supplies to maintain the basin call myself or one of them anytime.
- 4) I installed dead bolt locks on the bathroom doors for winter security use only. I used double sided keyed deadbolts to ensure the safety our children.
- 5) The fire extinguishers on the docks have all been replaced. 11 out of 14 needed replacement now and the other 3 were required within 1 year. I had them replace them all together, so they stay on the same cycle for the future. They gave us a deal on each extinguisher plus waved the disposal fee for the old ones saving us over $100.
- 6) Received an estimate for the mil foil removal from Sterling Aquatic. His quote was $1,925.00 to remove it from the entire basin. Being this late in the season I'm not sure if it makes sense to do it this season so we will discuss it at the board and basin levels to make the best decision for the basin)
- 7) The kitchen tent got destroyed in the last storm so we will need to come up with a new plan for the kitchen area. A few of us have talked about adding a permanent roof structure back there like we built over the ice machine. Let me know if anyone has any other ideas. If we can afford it, we can plan that for next spring.
- 8) I made a mistake on the fee charged for a non-member rental at the club, so I made up the difference, so the basin doesn't lose the income. We changed the non-member pricing in the basin rules and I honestly just forgot to charge the new fee.
- 9) Thank you, Matt Wright, for bringing down your tractor to remove the overgrown plants at the entrance and around the sign as well as trying to rake the road to level out the potholes. We will need to bring in material to fill the holes because just raking it didn't fix it completely.
- 10) I want to thank Peter Ferguson for using his wood splitter and donating the racks for the firewood!
- 11) I know some of my emails are stern. Please understand If I send out an email it's because I received a complaint about that issue or one of the members has already broken the club rule. We have a bunch of newer members, so I figure a simple email warning usually helps curb future problems and complaints. We all come here to have fun and get away so the less complaints and conflict the better. They seem to help with that from my perspective.
- 12) Due to numerous complaints we have decided to go back to using outside contractors who
- aren’t members to complete the landscaping and bathroom cleaning at the basin.
