February Board Update

Because our February Board Meeting has been cancelled, we wanted to give everyone a brief update of what the board has been working on. The Board of Directors met via zoom with the Village Planning Commission to discuss areas of the Village Building Code. The current point system of the code was reviewed and it was decided that the Board will need to meet later this month with planning commission member Al Rubosky to further discuss simplifying the point system and the responsibilities of both the village and the RRA.

Bob McClintock updated the board concerning the bathroom renovations at Beach 1 and 2. Final plans should be in place by mid February, so construction can begin in March. We are hoping renovations will be completed by Memorial Day, when pools open for the season.

The Gate at the Marina will be replaced this spring. We have had ongoing problems with the current gate. The new gate will have a much simpler design, but still work with our current fob system. We are also hoping to resurface the asphalt entry by the gate.

The board approved the AquaDoc dockside weed control program for 2022 and will finalize plans for dredging this year with Lake management so they can be communicated to our members soon.

The Polar Bear Club is planning to do repairs and upgrades to goose island to make it more easily accessible (stair replacements and new tie-offs) as well as landscaping. They are also going to be working with the board to develop a plan for upgrading the playground at Beach 1.  We want to thank Mindy Fier, club president, and all of the members for their continued efforts to improve our community and help their neighbors.

Rory Marshall will be working with Police Chief Roskos to see if classes will be available for our officers to be certified to work with our current lake patrol and increase our ability to be sure our lake is safe for our members and their families.

We discussed the need to upgrade the signage in our community. We want to have a uniform recognizable logo on signs that will be easy to reproduce and maintain. Jim Kovats brought this to our attention and we hope to have some concrete plans in the near future. We want to show pride in our community. We also need to replace the for sale signs on the lots that the RRA still has available so they are more visible. They have become damaged over time from mowing and snow.

Rick Brothers will have the information for us at our March meeting about adding vending machines at the pool areas.

Construction of our new Entertainment Pavilion is continuing and it should be ready to host events by June. Three concerts have been scheduled along with local food trucks at the events.
