Flag Posting has occurred and is used for:
Flag placement will not be accurate to the lot lines of your property. Treatment is done via GPS navitgation. Flags are also places in regions to be treated and regions to not be treated. For example, 10 lots in a row may only have two flags. Flag color changes are there to help the navigators know boundaries of treat and skip (e.g. moving from a green section to a pink section means that is a boundary or vice versa) . Moving the flags will not cause a change in treatment as it is only used to help orient the navigators and not the GPS location of treatment. If you feel a section is grossly incorrect (ie. an entire area is skipped) please notify the LDCA board to have it corrected ASAP. An example of an error to notify is if there are no signs on your lots or neighbors lots and there is supposed to be a spray and non spray in that area. Another example would be if you see a color change pattern that does not map to the drawing above. Do not notify if your lot is missing a sign – check the signs around you to the map as it may be part of a larger region of multiple lots.

Please ensure your irrigation systems are turned off Monday and follow the posting on your lawn or check back here or with LDCA for restrictions
The LDCA is happy to announce that the permit and logistics for approval for weed treatment has been granted.
The association has been made aware that there are reports of water fowl that have been subject to Avian Flu. This is a harmful virus that can affect humans.
{updated}
Regarding Canada Goose population. We. have elected to continue to pursue nest destruction this year under permit and by trained officials. If you notice a nesting pair, do NOT approach or interrupt their nest. If it very important to manage the nesting a specific way otherwise the birds will re-nest in a more hidden location and avoid population control. Please Notify someone with LDCA with the location of the pair so we can have a trained official assess the nest and condition of any eggs.

Today, Governor Whitmer signed Senate Bill 721 (approved by all Senate and House members) that extends the issue of addressing deed and covenant restrictions until September 2025. The original legislation allowing expiration of rights and covenants after 40 years is still in play, but the grace period to request extension has been moved out to 2025.

The LDCA has been made aware that years ago, the Michigan Legislature passed legislation that will do two things that affect you as a lake resident.
To find out more see the article that Cliff Bloom, representation for Michigan Lakes and Streams, says about how it will affect you and all waterfront property owners below. If you are concerned about this, please contact your Michigan legislature officials.

OLD BUSINESS
LEGAL:
Jerry sent additional requested information to new attorney. Cliff Bloom will provide options of trailer removal and other items. Should know more by September or October meeting
AQUATIC LIFE:
The second spraying of the weeds was done on July 11. The lake looks good and no complaints since that spray.
ROADS:
Jim Watt was contacted about a turnaround by View Drive. When paving the roads, contractors did not blacktop this area. The road is a much larger area and encroachment could be a possibility in that area.
PARKS:
Kevin Mack did a lot of work at the shelter house and game area for the annual picnic that happened right after the meeting. He stated that the old tower at Chickadee Park is rotten. He suggested to remove and possibly burn.
We have park surveys and some show encroachment of personal items on park property. A copy of the survey with letters to adjoining owners will be sent telling them to remove their personal property from park property. This could be done as early as September 30th. Then a possible fence or barrier would be placed on the property line. This is to shown lake owners where the park is they can go on and also to guard and protect both parties. Chris Sellers made a motion to show park area versus private owners lot. Jim Watt seconded. A vote was taken and all are in favor.

*Wine Crawl – September 2nd
*Trunk or Treat – October 27th
*LDCA non-sponsored events
TRAILERS:
Some trailers have been removed.
NEW BUSINESS:
Kevin put up No Wake and Speed Limit signs that Chris ordered. One might be moved to an area with more boat traffic, maybe the entrance of Hidden Lake channel. Kevin was contacted several times by DNR about liking these signs.
If any board members visit a business, ask them if they want to provide a coupon to be put in Welcome Package
Chris Sellers suggested we buy toys to rent out. Great idea but this would be an Association liability. The Halloween Hayride and Winterfest were stopped due to insurance and liability reasons.
Washout of the road on West Diane by Woodbridge was fixed by Hillsdale Road Commission the day after they were contacted.
At 10:11, Jerry made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Jim Watt seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the meeting was adjourned.
