Paradise Beach Improvement Association Minutes for the May 11, 2010 meeting Attendees: John Breen (president) Peggy Seaman (treasurer) Bob Seaman Bonnie Dausch Michael Dausch Duane Kaeding Diane Kaeding Meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm by John Breen. Treasurers Report: Peggy read the treasury report, and the balance as of 5/11/10 was $6758.68 Old Business: John stated that he spoke with a representative from National Tree Experts and the estimate that was provided ($1440.00) was not for all of the trees on the Beach property, and it only covered two of the trees on the community property. After reviewing both properties, John and the rep came to an agreement that for $2000.00, all of the trees on both properties would be taken care of. This included removing three trees, cutting away three stumps that were left from a previous tree removal, removing the dead limbs from all trees, and thinning out the biggest trees on both properties. John asked for a vote to spend the additional $500.00, and the motion was approved. It was suggested that we look into fixing the step at the beach entrance. It is a potential hazard to those trying to walk down to the beach. John stated that he would investigate the options. New Business: Duane Kaeding asked if anyone else was having problems with raccoons. There were a few comments about an increase in raccoon sightings, and Duane said that he contacted animal control about the problem. They put him in for a reservation for a trap, but there were none available at the moment. Meeting was adjourned at 7:25 pm. NEXT MEETING: Tuesday June 8th at 7:00pm Location: Kurtz Beach!!
