Thanks to Trustee and Beechwood Resident John King for the new Picnic Table at the lake! $107 from our fund well spent.

Also a huge thank you to Mr. Paul Grippa, long time resident who does such an amazing job keeping the lake’s grass trimmed, and this year also getting wet and cleaning the drain. We really appreciate all you do Paul!

Our annual meeting took place at Beechwood Lake at 7pm on Monday, September 30, 2019, and lasted 45 minutes. In attendance were – Roman Warmke, – Mike and Cathy Small, – Doug Williams, – Nathan Clink, – John and Helen King, – Claudette Stevens, and – Paul Grippa.

Agenda Included:

1. Financed Report: Roman reported so far 21 homes (of 39) have paid their annual dues (of $50) making the total collected so far for 2019 $1,050. (Last year’s total was $1,410, due to some donations and extra fees from rentals.) Roman will send one final reminder via US Mail and wrap up fund raising. We spend about $1300 a year. Our balance last year at this time was $2,278, and now it is $2,528, so there’s a surplus which is good. Expenses include – 3 light poles, – insurance on the lake, and – property taxes on the lake.
2. Picnic Tables: John King noted the poor condition of the lakes picnic tables and offered to spearhead an effort to repair or replace.
3. Activity Report: The Trustees have not met since last years picnic and there was no big news to report in the areas of crime or home sales.
4. Elections: The following individuals were nominated to serve as 2020 Trustees, – Roman Warmke, – Mike Small, – Ed Peterson, – Mark Van Hook, and – John King. What roles these folks will fill (President, etc) will be determined via email. – John Scott volunteered to be an adviser to the group.
5. Sewer Update: Looks like the County is still planning to do the project which is slated to begin in Spring 2020. After some discussion it was determined we were still pretty much in the dark in regards to costs and specifics. Helen King volunteered to go to the next County Commissioners meeting and report back via email.
