Gen­er­al Mem­ber­ship meet­ing on Jan­u­ary 8th. Need vote by mem­ber­ship to move for­ward.   Email to be sent to mem­ber­ship, need to make clear that mem­ber­ship will vote. Weed Com­mit­tee to draft and send to Rick. Sand­wich boards to be post­ed in three prime loca­tions around the lake (207 West Main, Cor­ner of Hay­ward and South Street, Pine Island Road).   Will need the meet­ing to be held in an order­ly fash­ion. Keep a log of all atten­dees, make sure they are cur­rent with dues in order to vote. Ques­tions may be asked by sub­mit­ting ques­tions in writ­ing.   There will only be one vote per mem­ber, not household.

Mal­colm and Mike to talk to Don McAdams. After fur­ther review, get town board to be spon­sor of our appli­ca­tion, Park and Rec makes the most sense.

Reduces costs – would have to pay for consultants

ACT would do all the work for the applications.

Would need a change to the cur­rent order of con­di­tions, con­sid­ered a major change.
