Mike McLaughlin: Pete Balascio contacted Mike last year that a former member should not be at the lake. It is clear in the bylaws that the former member can be here since he/she is not in the watershed. People outside the watershed can be guests, even if a former member.
Pete Balascio: Wants a guest policy. Guests cannot be a former member. Never allowed anyone who dropped to come back as a guest. No special rights for some than others. It doesn’t matter if the member resigned or was terminated by the Board.
Mike McLaughlin: Mike was contacted four times since last year. We can call police if know someone is trespassing. According to Pete’s version of the bylaws, if grown children move out of member’s home, they would not be able to come back as guests. We need the bylaws committee to make changes.
Mike Moran: Recreational termination of membership is the same as a lapsed membership.
Pete Balascio: When you are terminated you can’t come back.
Mike McLaughlin: Clarified the difference between recreational and regular memberships.
Anne Sambuccini: Recreational vs. regular memberships, how many guests?
Pete Balascio: Terminated members cannot use the property. Only a member and their guest.
Jim Hart: Completely opposes use of facilities.
Pete Balascio: Board says drop out and be permanent guest.
Jim Hart: Multiple people or numerous.
Mike McLaughlin: It happens that terminated members come back as guests. Handle on an individual basis.
Bob Papp: The Lant’s will be coming as their guests for a month to the lake.
Tom Kern: People can come as guest once. Article 5-4.
Peg Harmon: It’s a policy to use the sign-in sheet.
Diane Doggett: Membership was opened to include recreational members following the dredge.
Cynthia Freund will send out an email regarding the Bylaws Committee.
