You, Me & The WLIC

Attended the Board of Directors monthly meeting last night along with 14 other WLIC members. Some of the highlights:

• Treasurer Tom Henke gave overview of YTD 09 budget. Handouts provided to members with all the details. (City could take a hint from Tom and replicate this practice)
• There are about 30 to 35 members who have not paid 09 assessments & fees. 2 have not paid since 2005. Henke recommended consideration of liens against property at next Board meeting. Several more 2yrs delinquent. All members delinquent have received several calls and notices.
• The "Ruth property" Lots W10/11 will be sold at public auction on the Platte County courthouse steps on April 28th (You can hang around to participate if you are going to be there for WLIC v P. Gross case). If you buy you'll have to pony up $5,000 to the WLIC, that's the amount of assessments and attorney fees due WLIC.
  
• Bottom line, if you don't pay your assessments the title company will be notified when they do the title search.
• Peret Property Update: Long discussion by President Ennett. Short version is this. The construction of the spill way on the property did not meet specs and will have to be removed and replaced with proper construction. Cost to members=$0. The construction company and supervising contractor will pick up the bill. Ouch. This will cause the KCMO permit @$200 a month to be extended.
• Zebra Mussell Update: New policy to go into effect 1May or soon after. Ramps will have all weather locks with keys that cannot be duplicated. About 15 to 20 members have picked up the sets. Member John Bugg in a comment during a related discussion said the contamination of the lake with the Zebra mussell was "inevitable".

More to follow.
