Minutes of the regular March meeting were presented.   Motion to approve made by Travis Buxengard, seconded by Dave Schultz. Motion carried. Mark Walters moved to accept the Minutes of the Special Board meeting of April 5 seconded by Travis Buxengard  Motion carried.

Treasurer’s report was read.  Motion made by Ron Schneider to accept the report, subject to audit, seconded by Tom Lozinski. Motion carried.

Club Member Comments: Aaron Repinski asked the board if he could get a different slip as it is difficult for him to get his house boat in and out of his current slip.  Bob Schei said he would see what he could do.

Committee Report: None

Membership: Motion to approve Butch Beier’s boat house #53 and Tim Beier boat slip B-50 as new members was made by Mark Walters, seconded by Dave Schultz.  Motion carried.

Old Business: The board approved the purchase of a pump out station for house boats as required by the Corp of Engineers.  The Chicken  Q committee will pay for the purchase, cost will be about $569.00.

Spud extensions were put on all docks due to the high water.  Our compressor is not working properly so we are going to check on the cost of replacing it and that will determine if and when we can move the bar.

New Business:  Bob Schei’s contract with the club for the 2011-2012 season was approved.  The budget for 2011-2012 was presented and approved.  The caretaker’s trailer house has to come down to its original location as it is in violation of Winona County ordinance and DNR regulations.  Doug will check with Bill Huber from the DNR to see what we have to do with the trailer to make it legal.

Due to the rising costs of running the club and the limited income from dues the Board will ask for input from the membership on dues and work day credits at the annual meeting.  Also discussed was the need for our members to supply the club with their E-mail address as this would cut down on the cost of our mailings. 
 Adjournment:  Motion by Travis Buxengard seconded by Harold Rackow to adjourn the meeting at 9:45 p.m.  Motion carried.

Next meeting will be May 

Respectfully Submitted
Jim Hansen, Secretary
