Old Business (Board)    
President Sansone reported that fellow board member Joe Hejnal was doing both the building and maintenance for the LTPOA and that the board is looking for an additional member to take over the building projects/permits.  Please let the LTPOA know if you or anyone else you know is interested in volunteering for the building position.  President Sansone has been making calls to property owners within the community and inquiring if anyone would like to volunteer. 
  
New Business (Board) 
1.  Mr. Pikora's Path – Mr. Pikora has a series of lots in a row and asked the LTPOA if he could move a path which is between two of his lots.  At the advice of the attorney, the LTPOA was advised that moving paths should not be permitted and the LTPOA sent Mr. Pikora a letter stating that his path could not be moved.
 
2.  Spaid – Mr. Spaid recently purchased the former O'Dell property.  He applied for a building permit several months ago to improve his property.  His building permit was approved and he put rock and other decorative material down by his dock and did some work higher up on his property to help stop the erosion and make a more useful area.  Several property owners have commented that Mr. Spaid placed some rocks over the path.  Several LTPOA members have examined the path and improvements and observed that most of the path was already impassable and what Mr. Spaid has done improved the path and made it passable.  The only thing Mr. Spaid can't do is obsturct the path.  The biggest complaint has been that an ATV can no longer access the path due to the improvements.  President Sansone stated that he would call Mr. Spaid and just let him know that he cannot create a blockage to the path.   
One homeowner in attendance stated that at dock A36, in the main channel, there is an unused boat lift for a pontoon boat 25 feet out from the shore.  There is a little strip of reflective tape on it but it’s nearly impossible to see.  It sits about a foot and a half out of the water and is a major hazard.  President Sansone stated that he would call the owners of the property and speak with them about the hazard. 
Janet Hirsch reported that Clarue Holland received the water quality test results -- all sites are ok. Below is the actual report data.

     CLEAN WATER COMMISSION CODE OF STATE REGULATIONS -- 10/31/2008 				
Pollutant -- Fecal Coliform  	** 								
    Whole Body Contact = 200 cfu/100 ml 								
    Secondary Contact = 1800/cfu/100 ml 								
										
**  Geometric mean during the receational season in waters designated for recreation 				
or at any time in losing streams.  The recreational season is from April 1 to October 31. 		
										
Changes, both plus and minus, from the August 2008 to May 2009 testing can be attributed 
to several items: 	
   Cooler versus warmer test dates 								
   More water feeding into lake bringing with it pollutants from upstream farm fields 			
   More ducks and geese on the lake 								
										
Test results indicate that there is no issue with the safety of the lake waters. 				
    
Janet Hirsch reported that the Annual Meeting will be held on Saturday, June 20 and brought sample ballots to the meeting.  Janet stated that there are four openings and three candidates and also a question on the ballot about the minimum buildable lot size.  We would like everyone to vote on amending the LTPOA bylaws to include the following:   
"The minimum buildable lot size can only be changed by vote of the Lake Tishomingo Porperty owners.  Such a vote shall be cast on the basis of the front footage of each lot as platted, with each lot owner having one vote for each ten (10) front feet, but no less than five (5) nor more than ten (10) votes per platted lot, and with a simple majority of the votes case being required to carry the measure." 
Janet also had sample opinoin serveys available for all to review.   
Lastly, Janet Hirsch reported that Ed Mitchell volunteered to do some grass cutting and suggested that the LTPOA reimburse him for gas.      
There being no further business, a motion was made by Janet Hirsch and seconded by Marilyn Meyer to adjourn.  Motion passed.  The meeting concluded at 7:25 P.M.    
Respectfully submitted,
