Don Parisi sent in his resignation letter from the Board due to personal reasons. We are very sorry to see him go but thank him for all he has done for Candlewick Lake and hope to see him back soon.
The Board did appoint two new Directors, Steve Lambright and Chuck Corso to fill the openings due to the resignations of Gary Kurpeski and Don. We are happy to have them and thank them for filling in. Their terms will expire next March.
Public Safety: They have hired a new lake patrol officer to replace our injured officer.
Road Construction: Ken Dillenburg will be heading the committee going forward. The committee has been going to Lisle to see how their roads are being constructed using the full depth reclamation and if they are happy with the process. Some members have also travelled to Lake Summerset to view their chip and seal process using fractured rock rather than pea gravel. They have been very happy with the results and are on a five year resurface cycle.
A motion was carried to spend a maximum of $3,000.00 to do further coring to make sure we are repairing only the road bases that need to be done avoiding unnecessary expense. We are still looking into all processes and will try and get the best roads for the best price.
Legal: CC&R’S and By Laws are a work in progress and they will keep us up to date as they continue. The newly formed legal committee has that at the top of their agenda.
Aqua Illinois commission: It is up and running and members have assignments and will report back with their findings.
Incorporation Survey: This was reported previously in our blog.
Restaurant Update: The latest word is the restaurant will be open by the end of the month.
DVD Rental Machine: There are just a couple more things to work out and hopefully there will be one at Rec Center within a couple months.
Lake management brought forth a proposal to allow larger horsepower motors on the lake but only at no-wake speed, meaning at idle. This would be on a trial basis and any infractions would carry severe penalties of no lake use for a full year.
During the opening half hour of public comment the question was asked about cutting dead trees in the public areas. The trees are being removed as quickly as possible within our budget constraints. Another question was asked regarding the algae bloom in the fingers. The lake quality experts are scheduled to arrive within the next few days to do a second survey and make recommendations for remedies. The lake has had better quality to this point than most years and the hot weather has now been taking it's toll. It will be investigated and reports submitted.
