New business

The club boat ramp situation was discussed. Two problems were identified, one being traction in the sand for rear wheel drive vehicles trying to launch at our ramp; the other the depth of water at the ramp which makes it necessary for vehicles using the ramp to back down further into the water.

After some discussion Bill Vokac made a motion that we go ahead with Josh Sigmon's plan for the ramp and have Woody Chenault continue to search for another material to use for traction. Gerry Christman seconded the motion. The motion carried 4-2 with Joe Karbarz and Woody Chenault voting no.

A beach clean up and ramp maintenance day was scheduled for July 11, work to be done includes the removal of vegetation around the beach area and the leveling of the ramp area. The rain date for this work is July 17.

Bill Vokac will handle a mass e-mailing for the beach work party.
