- Approval of May 10, 2008 Minutes
There being no changes to the minutes, they were approved by acclamation.
- Financial Report – Jim
Jim reviewed the 2008 budget and budget vs. actual report for January-June
2008. Specific line items were considered. Jim explained the savings that
have been realized in landscaping costs. The only projects left to be
completed are the south fence and beach area. All major expense items have
been done and only a few bills are expected to come in.
- Update of Triangle Property Progress
Pete reported that the engineer has proposed drilling 12-15 pilot wells in
order for the samples to be inspected by Lahontan, who will then determine
what is needed to clean the wells. Pete expects the total cleanup to take
about two years once it begins.
- Gate Entry System Progress, Key Cards, Operation, Cost of Replacement
Jim said that the new software program is much better and easier to use. At
this point, Jim is the only one who knows the process for activating and
de-activating keys, but he will teach it to other staff as appropriate.
Bob reminded the Board of the policy which states that each property owner
receives two keys and the replacement fee for a lost key is $50. A brief
discussion followed and there was no change in policy.
- Signage
Beverly suggested that the signage at the beach needs to be more consistent
in color, working, and fonts. She distributed samples of signs used in other
areas and discussion followed. The Board asked that the current signs be
inventoried and Jim and Ben offer recommendations for additional signage.
This item will be considered at the September meeting. Milt asked that the
purchase of any additional signage for this summer be deferred unless it
relates to safety issues. Beverly proposed that an “EXIT” (or “OUT”) sign be
purchased soon for the appropriate gate and suggested a metal design.
It was moved by Beverly and seconded by Pete to purchase a metal “EXIT”
sign for the gate. Motion carried unanimously.
- Kayak/Canoe Storage Policy and Future Expansion
Jim explained the shortage of kayak storage and noted the waiting list for
space. He asked for Board direction on providing additional space for both
owners and renters and on a short-term and seasonal basis. Discussion
followed.It was moved by Bob and seconded by Pete to build two
temporary kayak racks at whatever location staff deems appropriate. One rack
will be available for season-long rentals and one rack will be designated
for weekly rentals. Motion carried unanimously.
- Staffing Changes
Ben reported that the same number of staff people are working as did last
year, but the shifts have been staggered to cover more hours. He has
instigated a sign-in sheet so that when people come to the gate and say that
they are here with “so-and-so” staff can check to see if that property owner
is actually at the beach. Bob noted that there are a lot of new staff
members and encouraged each Board member to introduce themselves. He asked
that if a problem is observed that is not an immediate safety issue, Jim be
contacted. If it presents an immediate safety issue, Ben should be
contacted.
- Park Improvements
Jim reviewed his written report, noting the projects that have been
completed, what is in process, and what is coming up. Future projects will
be discussed at the September meeting. Jim recommended that a golf cart, or
something similar, be purchased for staff to use for trash removal and other
tasks. Discussion followed. Beverly recommended that the playground area be
screened with bushes or trees. It was agreed that the shed area should be
addressed so that the appropriate use can be determined.
- Election of Board members (slate)
Pete, Margaret, Beverly, and Milt agreed to run for re-election.
- Old Business
Milt stated that he received some boxes of historical documents from Rich,
which Milt will review and give to Jim to be inventoried, copied, and
stored.
- New business
It was the consensus of the Board to direct Bob to write a letter to
Caltrans and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) asking for a
crosswalk at Fir.

The next meeting of the Board of Directors of LTPA will be on September 6,
2008 at 9:30 AM.
