Hello Summer! We fi nally made it past the dark days of our second win-ter, had about a half week of spring and bam…it got hot. So hot in fact we were in the water before Memorial weekend and not just the kids.

Regardless of the weather, rain or shine, we have had a busy year at the clubhouse. We would like to thank all of our current and new members for their support. If you are new to the lake, one of the benefi ts of join-ing the LTIA is being able to rent the clubhouse or the pavilion. The in-come generated from rentals plays an important role in allowing us to not just maintain, but also improve the clubhouse.

We had multiple rentals in April, May, almost every weekend in June and July, and dates are booked in September.

Somehow in between we managed to have the large window wall, ceiling, beams and duct work painted. It really is amazing what a diff erence a coat of toasted almond and linen truffl e paint can do. This couldn’t have been accomplished without your support,

including rentals, membership and just volunteering.

We have a few people to thank who really helped to make this project come together…Al and Rosie Fer-rell worked to get bids, met with the contractors. And with the help of Gail Lents, folded and moved all of the tables and chairs to prep. This also wasn’t their fi rst paint rodeo. Along with help from Gail and Rick Lip-pi last fall, they cleaned and white-washed the brick fi replace. Every li le bit helps and makes a huge diff er-ence…all in between rentals.

Special thanks also need to go to Ed Hill for taking the bull by the horns or should we say taking the mop and running with it. Ed volunteers whenever needed to help us keep the clubhouse clean and ready for every-one to enjoy.

If you are looking for an opportu-nity to see the improvements, join us on Sunday, July 1st at 3:30 pm. We are hosting the Ice Cream Social and Cor-

onation for the Mr. and Miss Tisho-mingo candidates. All lake residents are welcome. The candidates will turn in their fi reworks collections and the winner will be crowned. Immediately following the coronation we will have ice cream for everyone.

We still have raffl e tickets avail-able for $25. These can be purchased from any of the candidates collecting or by contacting one of the LTIA board members. The winning tickets will not be drawn until all tickets are sold. All proceeds will go towards the fi re-works fund for this year or next year.

After the fun on the 4th our next event will be the Lake Tishomingo Boat Poker Run. In years past we would be asking for volunteers for dock hosts at this point. However, it seems the players have seen how much fun the hosts have and all of our dock host locations were booked at the last poker run. If you are interested in hosting join us at the upcoming run

Lake Tishomingo Boat Poker Run Saturday, August 25th

$10 per hand – Cash Prize for Highest and Lowest Hands

There will be 5 docks along the shore line marked and set up to stop and receive your cards.

Gazebo Construction

The new 12-foot octagonal ga-zebo on the lake front recreation area was donated by the Lakeside Gardeners. The Gardeners paid for materials and provided all the labor.

Work began May 16 with the pouring of the concrete base and fi nished June 8 with the instal-lation of the hand railings and balusters.

The project was headed by Frances Hovis. She and Robert Hovis, Sheila Frauenfelder, and Rich Hirsch created a beautiful new addition to the lakefront.

President Steve Blaha asked for a moment of silence for Char-lie Lents and Mike Jones, lake residents who had recently passed.

President Steve Blaha asked the board members if they read last month’s minutes and if they had any additions, corrections or deletions. With nothing new to correct or add, Steve Blaha asked for a motion to dispense with the reading of the minutes and approve them as printed. Shelby Reneski made a motion to ap-prove the minutes and it was seconded by Mike Steeno. MOTION PASSED.Treasurer’s Report

Shelby Reneski read the fi nancial report for April 2018. There was a cash infl ow total of $703.07 which included $615 from as-sessments, $55 from gate cards, $20 from pontoon trailer rental and $13.07 from interest. Cash outfl ow consisted of $188.45 to Ken Stojeba for Bobcat ba ery and truck tags, $59.99 to Charter, $18.43 to Phone.com, $123.90 to Ameren, $500 to Mark Stubits for clearing from the gate to the 4 way stop and $6,250 to Shelton Landscape for a down payment on the clubhouse landscaping; for a total of $7,140.77. The new checking account balance was $102,614.66.

The Major Projects Fund has an account balance of $203,542.64 as of February 28 2018. Interest accrued in the amount of $86.44, leaving a balance of $203,629.08 as of March 31, 2018. Roy Hummel made a motion to accept the fi nancial report and it was seconded by Doug Leeker. MOTION PASSED.

Shelby Reneski asked for approval to pay bills totaling $27,907.42, which included Holloran Contracting for patio, sidewalk and BBQ area ($18,400) and concrete driveway ($8,400), Charter ($59.99), Phone.com ($18.43), Shelby Reneski for Stamps ($10), Ameren Utilities ($124), and to Mark Stubits for irrigation at the clubhouse ($875) and for plow truck cleaning supplies ($20). Ken Stojeba made a motion to approve paying the bills and it was seconded by Doug Leeker. MOTION PASSED.

Ma Holloran’s bill for the patio, sidewalk and BBQ area was originally $30,300. Ma included a donation of $11,900, reducing the bill to $18,400. A round of applause was given in thanks.Building

Ken Droege sr, lot M26 has requested to repair/replace the existing dock and add a boat lift to the West side. Doug recom-mended approval. Jon Riche made a motion to approve and it was seconded by Roy Hummel. MOTION PASSED.

Doug reported the lot with the “gro o” is for sale as a poten-tially build-able lot. Doug plans to inform agent that the property is smaller than the required 40,000 square feet for new construc-tion.Security

Roy reported on a piggy backing (tail gating) incident at the gate. The individual was confronted by residents at the gate.

Roy also spoke with the individual who was apologetic.ATV signage was added around the gate as well as other

areas. ATV use through these areas causes erosion, which causes the need for increased maintenance.Gate

Rich Hirsch reported the most used code in March was by Ma Holloran at 5.8 uses per day. Rich noted Jeremy Christo-

pher’s code was previously used along with Triple C. This code use appeared high for the month. Therefore, Rich recommended a new code be issued for Triple C and the Christopher code be canceled.Maintenance

Ken reported he was in the process of obtaining bids for grass cu ing. Also, he has explored the possibility of obtaining asphalt millings which are left over from the I-55 project. The millings would be used to re-surface the community parking lot.Old Business

Doug discussed some researching he has been doing regard-ing chain dredging as an alternative to excavation for silt removal. The dredging would remove silt from low lying areas near the inlet and disperse the material to the channel in the deeper end of the lake. This process does not remove the material from the lake. However, the impact is thought to be minimal and the cost may be substantially lower than fully excavating and removing the silt. Doug has consulted with Brian Stephens regarding the impact on fi sh and other wildlife. The dredging could also be done without lowering the lake. Doug discussed having a representative from the company come and give a presentation to the board in order to answer questions and get more information.

Steve obtained an electrical bid for the new irrigation at the clubhouse. The board discussed ge ing the irrigation up and run-ning before the summer heat. The electrician was recommended by a lake resident. Mark Stubits was asked to do the trenching prior to the electrical work. Mike Steeno made a motion to hire the electrician and it was seconded by Roy Hummel. MOTION PASSED.New Business

Mike Steeno provided a summary of research he has com-pleted of our historical documents, restrictions and bylaws. Mike has organized the documents and decisions of the lake in order to clarify and be er organize the information for the board and all residents. In the future, the board intends to use Mike’s work to update the website with a more consolidated version of the rules, regulations and bylaws.

Shelby asked for approval to place liens on properties whose assessments have not been paid. Jon Riche made a motion to fi le the necessary liens. Ken Stojeba seconded the motion. MOTION PASSED.

***NO GLASS IN THE RECYLING AREA******CANS ONLY PLEASE!!!***

adjourn and it was seconded by Jon. The meeting adjourned at 8:39 pm.

Mike Steeno had recently a ended a local meeting to orga-nize opposition to the proposed 259 acre quarry on Tishomingo Rd. Many residents of Lake Tishomingo were present and the meeting was fully a ended. Numerous adverse issues were dis-cussed including: blasting, silica dust in the air, decreasing prop-erty values, noise pollution, and potential damage to our dam and lake water quality. There is a public planning and zoning meeting on June 14, 2018 regarding the potential zoning change to allow the quarry. The board plans on a ending this meeting and discussed gaining as much support from lake residents as possible. Doug brought up that quarries are typically eventually used as landfi lls after they are excavated. Mike will put together a le er to send to all residents to inform them of the situation and urge them to a end the June 14th meeting. Mike Steeno made a motion for the LTPOA and Lake Tishomingo to offi cially oppose the quarry and do anything possible, with in our means, to aide in the opposition of the quarry. The motion was seconded by Ken Stojeba. MOTION PASSED.

You have probably seen the signs on Tishomingo Rd, and Hwy 21, opposing the proposed quarry. Minnesota’s St Peter Sand Co wants to blast, grind, and haul silica sand.

The Planning & Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing June 14 for Condi-tional Use Permit CU18046. The meeting was a ended by hundreds of people. At the hear-ing the P&Z professional staff recommended denial of the permit.

The Commission then voted unanimously to deny the permit -- partly based on the staff recommendation but also because there were so many people present. The meeting room was packed. Every chair was taken. People were si ing on the fl oor completely fi lling every empty space between chairs. Around the perimeter of the room they stood three-deep and hundreds more fi lled the hallway and vestibule.

The Fight Is Not OverEven though the Planning & Zoning Com-mission denied the permit, it must still be considered by the Jeff erson County Council. They meet at 6:30pm on alternate Mondays. They do not have to post their agenda any more than 36 hours in advance, so we won’t know until the Friday before the meeting when the quarry will be voted on.

The most eff ective argument against the quarry is politi-cal: hundreds of us again have to show our opposition. We have to a end the meeting when the permit will be voted on.

Watch your email and signs at the entrance to the lake for information about the Jeff erson County Council Meeting. Plan to a end and show your opposition to the quarry.

Council Meeting DatesJune 28July 9July 23August 6and so on

CU18046 6:30 pm Monday (possible dates listed above) 729 Maple St Hillsboro MO 63050 More information is available online at jeff como.org. The

Planning and Zoning permit is posted and the county coun-cil agenda are there also.

Jefferson County Preservation Task ForceThe commi ee organizing the opposition to the quarry is being led by our own LTPOA VP Mike Steeno. The JCPTF meets 7 pm every Monday in our Community House. They hired a orney Kathleen Henry of the Great Rivers Environ-mental Law Center. Soon the task force will be asking for donations and having fund raisers (fi rst one is Sept 8, Meth-odist Church hall on HWY B) to help cover all the expenses of this fi ght.

Attend the County Council MeetingThere are many reasons to object to the issuance of the permit: • the substance to be mined is silica sand, a known

carcinogen of micron size particles.• the property borders both new and old Hwys

21 -- it will deter any desirable development, residential and commercial, along the Hwy 21 corridor.

• there are about 2000 people in a 5-mile radius that will be subjected to air, ground water, and noise pollution

• they plan to operate two shifts and have 150 trucks per day hauling sand out. That means 150 empty trucks coming in and 150 full trucks going out.

• Tishomingo Rd is a very long road that is the only access to many properties

• slow and heavy truck traffi c will damage our county roads and seriously impede access for hundreds of people

• obstruction of Tishomingo Rd endangers anyone who needs Big River Ambulance or Goldman Fire assistance

• everyone on Tishomingo Rd, including Lake Tishomingo will be aff ected

• residential property values in the area will suff er
