A JAC meeting will be held on Oct 7 @ 10am at the Park, weather permitting (backup location will be at 5206 Gallagher if raining).  The Meeting Agenda will be as follows:

1. Porta-Potty:  Finalize plans/next steps for the porta-potty enclosure replacement project.
2. Shoreline Restoration Project:  Hear recommendations from the sub-team and finalize a plan/next steps.

A big “THANK YOU” to the JAC Committee members for stepping up, volunteering their time, and getting the ball rolling on several projects to improve our community!  Volunteers are always welcome, even if your time is limited.  You do not have to be a member of the JAC in order to help on a project.

This Shoreline Erosion Mitigation Proposal will be reviewed at the upcoming Sept 23 JAC meeting at the Park from 10am-11am after we elect new officers.

We have lost a significant amount of shoreline again this year due to ice, flooding, pontoon slip usage, wave action, and lack of adequate root system protection.  We will discuss the approach, cost, and timeline of the project and make a determination if we will move forward with this natural shoreline restoration project.  If we decide to move forward with the project, we will draft the appropriate MDEQ project paperwork, submit to both Association Boards for approval and signature, then submit to MDEQ for approval.  MDEQ approval could take 60-90 days from the submission date.   If you are interested in participating in maintenance of the Park or joining the JAC, please attend this important meeting.

We will be having a JAC (Joint Access Committee) meeting at the park on Sunday Sept 23 from 10:00-11:00am.  The current agenda for the meeting is to elect new officers for the committee and discuss park maintenance, including the shoreline erosion project status.  For those that will not be in town and would like to attend the meeting remotely via phone, we will try to arrange an audio conference to call into.  If you would like to call into the audio conference line for the meeting, please RSVP by 6pm Friday Sept 21 by emailing “thepark@strawberryhillestates.org” with a short note letting us know you are interested in the audio conference line option and we will email you details.

Due to park maintenance work Saturday from 8-11am, you may experience delays if you are planning to launch your boat during this time. It would be best if you launched it before 730am or later in the afternoon.
