a possible error in the county records for the lots next to the dock area –
Bob Bremser will contact the records office to get direction on how to
correct
- Boat Ramp is uneven and needs to be added to the list
of items that need to be updated
- There are common areas that are legally owned by
Navonod that SLOA maintains and pays taxes on. Are we able to get these
legally changed to SLOA ownership? Was noted that Jim Craft had looked into
this in the past. Not sure of the outcome. Will ask Jim at the next
meeting.
- When the Donovan Circle ditch is fixed there is an
association member requesting to have the rock that is currently there.
Dennis Baron suggested that a letter of this request be submitted to the
board. Rock must remain until repairs have been made.

no action had been taken until the books were corrected and up to date. Bob
Bremser will start making contacts to find out the best way for the repairs to
be made.

owners that the roads now infringe on their property to come to an agreement

- The fence by the Johnson’s house had been bent over,
but Dennis fixed it. Mrs. Johnson said that they only wanted
acknowledgement that the road is on her property and that SLOA makes no
