1. Permit Status: Review letters received from the DEC and Corp of Engineers and Responses sent.

2. DEC Permit will need to be filed; they will need a copy of Insurance Liability from the Dredge contractor before issue of TRP permit. Need to contact Tom McCloud, for Piping Plover survey to be done 1 week before dredging.

Cranesvilles quote from last year on dredging. The association could lease the equipment for 32,000 for 2 weeks with a minimum 40 hours per week and we pay all expenses of fuel, pipe and dredge transportation, lodging for one operator and a volunteer to operate equipment. We transport piping and dredge to work site, and bring back. Greg Breslin is checking into Maryland dredge for a Dredge to lease this year.

Waggoner’s dredging, I called and left a message 3/20/09 & 4/15/09, Ralph was to come and estimate the channel to dredge, only where needed.

Bills Against the Association: D&O Policy Due June 1,000.00

Old Business: Status of Public Launch Ramp, Chris called from the fisheries coalition 4/23 and the money is still there, it isn’t a grant, it is a settlement fund that will be used for a public launch ramp on Sandy Pond. The money can also be used for the purchase of the property. There is still money set aside for a launch and we are awaiting a decision from the DEC as to the location of the ramp.

Settlement Payment Due in August $8350.00
