Lake Improvement Committee Meeting Minutes – 4 May 2010

Committee Attendees: Shawn McCann, Tom Johnson, Frank Harwood, Phil Gallmeier

Other Attendees: Dan White

Discussion

Repeated information discussed at the 4 May 2010 HOA Board meeting. The excerpt from the minutes is shown below:

A down payment of $1000 has been made to Gator Dredging for the dredging engineering services and permitting process. $3000 + $100 application fee will be due when the dredging permit application is submitted to Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and $3000 will be due when the final permit is issued.

Santa Rosa County or Northwest Florida Water Management do not need to be involved in the permitting process.

So far Gator Engineering estimates that 15,000 cubic yards of muck need to be removed. This would be sediment type material to be removed down to hardpan. This was referenced against Shawn’s original estimate of 27,000 cubic yards to be removed which included an average of 1 foot of material to be removed throughout the lakes.

A discussion the status of the McKenzie’s approval for the disposal of dredging spoil on their property at the North end of the lakes. To date the HOA has had a verbal OK to dispose material on the referenced site. However for the permitting process it is desired to have this approval in writing. The McKenzies have been provided a letter drafted by Gator Engineering that Gator would like signed for disposal permission. Frank Harwood has been working this issue and said that the McKenzies would meet the weekend of May 1^st to discuss. As of the meeting on May 4 we have not heard back from the McKenzies.

Priorities

Will have to set any dredging contractors priorities based on time on the jobsiste which equates to dollars.

The overall priority is to dredge the lakes in front of property owners: Lake 3, 4, and part of 5. Then work on further priorities such as Lake 1 and 2.

McKenzie Access

Ski Watch does have a verbal ok to use the McKenzie property at the north end of Ski Watch estates for a spoils area.

Trenches

There is a desire to fill in the trenches. However it would be hard to direct a dredging contractor for these specifics.
