1. Minutes from March 28, 2021 were accepted.
2. Peter and Sharon Hoover came and summarized their experience with their boat not getting a space on the dock. He moved here in 2018 and did not have a boat at the time. He was on the list to get a spot on the dock in 2019 but has not gotten one yet. He said he was at the top of that list and does not understand why others got a spot before him. Bowen informed us that he has a 20’ pontoon boat that needs to be in a certain spot on the dock because of its size. Those spots did not become available yet. Only spots for small boats became available. Peter said he would be happy to put his boat at the end of the dock in the shallow water and push I the boat out if need be because he does that now with his mooring. There are already 2 pontoon boats on the dock now so there is no room for another. The procedure is that people who have moorings get first pick on dock spots when they open up. Someone asked if we could rearrange the boats to accommodate Peter and Sharon’s boat. The Board will discuss it and do everything possible to get Pater a spot but we cannot promise him a spot. The Board agreed to let Bowen figure out the dock space and will support his decision regarding the pontoon boat.
3. Beach clean-up went really well. Date set to put up the tent and swim ropes May 25^th with May 26^th as a rain date.
4. The Board suggested we form sub-committees to help organize events and get regular members involved, not just Board members. Sharon Hoover volunteered to head up a committee according to Tish
5. The budget was presented and was unanimously accepted.
6. Entrance paving- Done and looks good. Now need to get some areas filled in with hard packed, sand-like material. Kyle will take care of this and get a quote from John.
7. Environmental Police was unable to make it to the meeting they requested and scheduled with Don Meskie. We are not reaching out. Waiting to hear from them.
8. Remotes: The Board reminded Kyle to buy 10 remotes.
9. The Board decided to meet once a month on Wednesday evenings. The next meeting is June 2 at 6:00. The annual meeting is June 23^rd at 6:00 for BOA and 6:30 for members. Then the BOA will meet after the general meeting. Tish will do the new member table and Mary-Lou volunteered to help Bowen with the remotes.
10. People were reimbursed for the food items bought for beach clean-up day.
11. Member questionnaire: Tish is going to send out the questionnaire. 
12. Insurance: Ray said a binder was issued and an application was put in for Directors and Officers Insurance. Insurance will now be roughly $2300 per year for both liability and D&O insurance combined. The D&O is about $1200 and the liability is being reviewed now.
13. Legal: Tish reported that the lawyer’s fees are $250 per hour. It will take about 1.5 hours to review the by-laws. He requires a $1000 retainer and you get. Back what you do not use.
