SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (SAD)
Kevin and Jerry met with the lawyer. He has prior experience and is currently doing this on other lakes. A letter that will be mailed to Amboy Township. This is a FYI to notify them of attempt to pursue SAD for aquatic weed control on Lake Diane. The lawyer provided a petition form for aquatic weed control at Lake Diane that will need to be filled out by owners. Then a committee would be set up for the SAD project. This committee will have 1 or 2 board members but also Lake Diane property owners. Then this committee can start collecting petition signatures.

NEW BUSINESS:
Friends of LD contacted LDCA. Amboy Township Fire Department has ice rescue suits that are dry rotted. Friends is making a $500 donation to replace them and asked if we would consider matching their gift. Because this is Goodwill for a water rescue and we live on a lake, Jerry Agrusa made the following motion:
to match Friends contribution to the hyperthermia suit for the township of Woodbridge Fire Dept in the amount up to $500
Scott seconded it. All agreed and the motion was approved.
The Newsletter form and activity dates were discussed. Some dates are unconfirmed till we hear back from the Community who hosts events outside of the board.
Consumers Energy wants us to grant an easement across park for overhead wire run.
