Stormy Lake Association

2008 Annual General Meeting
10 a.m. Sunday, October 12, 2008
Gooderham Community Centre
Minutes

Due to the absence of most members of the executive the meeting could not be convened for lack of Quorum. 

Minutes of the last meeting were distributed and reviewed, noting that they have been published on stormylake.ca since May 9, 2007. 

Treasurer tabled the financial report for the SLA's second fiscal period ended March 2008. 

Treasurer also tabled an updated financial report for the first fiscal period ended March 2007.

Treasurer tabled a third report showing year to date and projected revenues and expenses for the current fiscal year ending in March 2009. Bank balance is now about $200. Projected balance is about $600 provided we mount a membership campaign to get renewals from owners who are not members of the two participating road associations. 

The meeting then became a general discussion about the role of the SLA. 

One of the topics suggested to be addressed by the SLA is the dam. Here are some of the issues:

  • water loss due to seepage under the dam
  • adjusting the height to maintain a skiming flow

  • (one attendee brought pictures of oil slicks after a calm period)
  • finding some way stop people from tampering
One member volunteered to research MNR policies regarding such dams. Another member remembers a letter from MNR and will try to find a copy if it. 

A brief discussion about renewing the SLA's insurance confirmed the conclusion that we must be in force in order to attract executive and volunteers.

The meeting closed with a discussion about the best weekend to hold the AGM, obviously not Thanksgiving! Consensus is Canada Day weekend.
