1. Minutes from May 16, 2021 were accepted with these corrections/clarifications: Sharon Hoover volunteered to head the “clean-up” committee; Don would send the questionnaire- not Tish; There were 2 separate boat committees-motorized and non-motorized.
2. The budget was presented by Kyle and unanimously accepted as presented. 
3. A suggestion was made to have officers serve as regular board members for a year or so before becoming an officer.
4. The Board voted to revise the WIFI question on the questionnaire to state “if financially feasible”. Vote was 7-1.

10. Boats/trailers and docks:  Bowen reported that there are a few (3) spots available on the dock for small boats. The discussion on winter boat storage was tabled for a later meeting. Bowen was going to see if Peter’s boat would fit somewhere…maybe behind Celia.
11. Bowen raised the issue of a member wanting to share his trailer space with another member who does not use his boat on our lake but would like to store it here. The board voted 4-2 not to allow this based on the rule that you need to use your boat on the lake in order to store it for the winter. 2 people abstained.
