A motion was made by Steve Sollenne, seconded by Anne Marie Madison to accept the minutes as written.  The motion was passed unanimously.

The regular agenda items, reports, etc. were deferred, so that they could be presented at the Annual Property Owners Meeting, to take place today at the Main Club House at 10:00 am.

The Board discussed the filling of a vacancy, which will occur when Ed Weidler leaves.

A motion was made by Anne Marie Madison, seconded by Ted Couillou that when a vacancy occurs on the Board of Directors the position be offered to the individual who ran for the Board of Directors and received the highest number of votes of those not elected.

Discussion followed the motion and it was noted that there are provisions in the by-laws to fill a vacancy on the BOD.

            Anne Marie Madison withdrew her motion.

John Carney brought the Board up-to-date on the Lakeville Fire Department Substation.  A meeting was held on Friday, June 8, 2007 with representatives of Lakeville and representing WLE were John Carney, Ed Weidler, Steve Sollenne, and Paula Whitney.  There is a possibility that a substation, when it is constructed, will be located on Goose Pond Road.  There was discussion of ways to raise money for a building.  Lakeville will be purchasing a new truck and will give one of the engines they now have to WLE.  It will be garaged in one of the maintenance garages until a building can be constructed.

The date of the next Board meeting will be set at the first meeting of the newly installed Board, which will immediately follow the Annual Property Owners Meeting.  The newly installed Board will also schedule any Informational Meetings.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:10am in order that the Board be able to return to the Main Club House to attend and conduct the Annual Property Owners Association Meeting.

The minutes from the Annual Property Owners Association Meeting will not be available for several weeks, as we must wait for the professional court stenographer to provide us with a completed copy of the “official” report.  The minutes will be prepared from this report.

Respectfully submitted,
Paula A. Whitney
Secretary

The delay of construction on Kasper Lodge was briefly discussed. Ed Weidler pointed out that problems getting the permit were delaying the project, and, that the permit should be obtained sometime in the next week or so.

The proposed new Fire House Sub-Station was discussed, and John Carney brought us all up to date on what is happening on this issue. The Lakeville Fire Company would like us to sign a letter of intent to build a Fire House Sub-Station. Lakeville Fire Company will assume all upkeep expenses at the Sub-Station, such as electricity, heating cost, etc. Lakeville Fire Company would like to buy a new Fire Truck, and use their old one, at our Fire House Sub-Station. The time frame for the new Fire House Sub-Station would be the fall of 2009. The Fire House Sub-Station will require a membership vote should there be a special assessment or if it is built on a lot independently from a designated common area.  A property on Goose Pond Road, which is a series of lots that can be combined to allow a place for the Fire House Sub-Station, is being considered. Since the Fire house Sub-Station will also serve other areas of Lake Township and near by areas, it would allow the Fire Truck to answer calls outside of Wallenpaupack Lake
