As requested at the Annual Meeting May 8 th , 2004, Mann Properties sent a letter (June 2 nd , 2004) to the Mayor and City Council requesting continued use of the Little Salisbury boat ramp for the Casa Del Sol Condominium Association. To-date there has been no response.

New Business:

•  Anne Giannelli requested that meeting dates be included in next months meeting agenda. Anne has some conflicts with our current second Tuesday schedule.

•  Electric outlets on the dock lights circuit:

It was observed that many of the dock lights have had electrical outlets appended to them. This is a serious safety issue for two reasons; 1) the dock light circuit is not ground fault protected and 2) an overload could cause the main breaker to trip and all dock lights would be affected. Secondly, the electricity for these circuits is paid for by the Association not by the individual users.
Motion:
A motion to have ALL outlets removed from the dock light circuit was made by Gene Miesse and seconded.
The motion passed unanimously. Margie Rus (Mann Properties) will contact Patchet Electric to have the work done. Patchet will also repair or replace any defective dock lights in the process. Work will begin on the 700 Building but all buildings (600 & 770) will be serviced.

Next Board Meeting:
