New Business:
Lot 56: They have submitted a request to build wall (West) on the edge of the reserve drain field. Gene reports that he checked with Clallam County Health Dept. and this is not approved with the county and State of Washington. Cannot encroach on the drain field, therefore the request is denied.
Audit of Accounts Report: Gene stated he and Roxi reviewed all accounts for every lot in Maple Grove and the results showed either a balance owing or a credit. Going forward Roxi has requested to identify all accounts by lot number, not owner name. This will be easier to track. Gene reported that at this time there is a balance of $10,300.00 back water dues owed by members.
Change in Water Billing: Group discussion regarding the water fees for houses vs. RV lots. Decision that a review of books to determine if an increase or decrease in water dues are needed. Board will revisit this when the accounts reflect actual water expenses vs. income are evaluated. Decision has been made to bill water accounts annually vs. quarterly.

Treasurer: Mike suggests not having the Treasurer and the Bookkeeper as the same person. He suggests having both board positions and having an elected person in each position.

Dock Slide: Gene mentioned that the slide has been ordered and will be onsite by the work party.
