There were no corrections to the minutes.
The committee also requested signs warning of Poison Ivy at various areas. It was
decided that those signs would be made "in house" by laminating 8 U2 x 11 sheets and
installing them on wooden stakes. The laminated sheets would be turned over to the
SWNA members to install at appropriate locations.
Dumping Location
Illegal dumping continues to be a problem at one particular location on Toronto Road.
The location invites this activity because there is gravel access leading in fiom the road.
The gravel access will be removed as part of the fall tree planting in this area.
In addition the Operations Department will install a no dumping sign.
6. Other Business
Trials
It was suggested that woodchips could be added to keep people on a designated route on
the barrier beach. It was deternlined that it would be very difficult to keep the chips at
that location because of the lake affects.
Weeds around Toronto Street si~,n
Large weeds are growing around the sign at Toronto Street. The Maintenance committee
will work on removing them. The sign should also be removed in the future because the
road access on Toronto Street has been changed and the sign is now only seen by users of
the new asphalt trail.
Pot Holes
The Operations Department will be notified about the large potholes in the Cobbledick
Parkilig lot and access road.
Fundraising
To be discussed at the next meeting.
