Rose Brisske commented that she is concerned with the number of boaters who do not follow the correct boating rules and lake rangers not doing enough to protect boaters and skiers. Mr. Rodkey recommended reporting complaints regarding unsafe conditions to the Mundelein Park District and the boat ranger on duty.

James Melledy addressed a concern regarding pier use. Questions regarding financial records for maintenance and repairs of piers, and the availability of spaces, and whether or not spaces can be deeded with the sale of a WSPC home had been raised. Pier Rules and Regulations need to be reviewed and revised as necessary for clarification, especially regarding Pier Captain responsibilities regarding financial transactions related to pier management. It was suggested an active document of members who are waiting for a pier space should be created, maintained, and published for members.

WATER

Brett Laureys reported that the Forest Water Main Project is moving along as expected. Phase 1 of the water main project had been delayed due to the need of further investigation of sewer line repair/construction consideration by Fremont Township. Estimated three weeks of construction to the completion of phase 1 and temporary paving of “old” Forest Lane before moving on to Phase 2. Installation of the new water main will necessitate 2-3 days of intermittent outages as the old main is being disconnected and the new main is being connected and testing of the new water main is completed. Some homes may be without water for 2-3 hours at a time. Cloudy water is to be expected as the lines are being flushed. Contact Brett Laureys if cloudy or foul-smelling water does not subside with flushing. Expenses remain as expected.

Fuel Pump on diesel generator went out and required repair.

Rose Brisske expressed concern that Forest Lane intersections will be blocked by construction /equipment and asked if “old” Forest Lane will be connected to “new” Forest Lane to allow access during construction. It was explained that there are no known plans from Fremont Township to connect the two Forest Lane roads and that the road connection is dependent on Fremont Township.

DRAINAGE

John Lohrmann reported he will be meeting with Fremont Township to discuss drainage issues.

MILLER PARK

The Beautification of Miller Park continues. Miller Park Commissioner Stacee Kalmanovsky is hard at work heading this project. If you would like to volunteer time, resources, or to make a donation, please contact Stacee at: [email protected]
