Good Morning Tonia and Burr
First of all I wish to thank you for the attractive and well done cerftificate. When framed, it will compliment my other certificates and awards previously received.
Secondly, I wish to thank you for the opportunity to speak at last night's meeting and apologize for rushing through my presentation. I gather it's delivery was perceived as somewhat forceful and chastising. I apologize for that. I was unaware that the meeting was to close by 7:30 PM. (see portion of e-mail insert below).

Subject: HLC Business - Time Change for the next HLC Directors Meeting
Hi Everyone,
Since an important ‘Tax Levy Increase’ meeting for those in the Township of the Lake of Bays is set for the same time as our HLC meeting on Saturday April 4th, Tonia has changed our HLC meeting date to April 17th from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at (as usual) the Robinson Independent Grocer Community Room in Huntsville.
My intentions were to apprise the Council members of a lack of follow-up in past minutes and to have these concerns recorded in the minutes of last night's meeting along with follow-up.
At your request, I list them here for your information and necessary action.
Minutes from September 6, 2008
S. 6 (B) - Navigational hazards on the canal - the Chair asked Peter Van Buskirk and Dan M. to look into this issue and report to the HLC on their findings.
What did they find? Ongoing discussions were presented at the meetings. Like other policy issue discussions that occurred at council meetings pre the strategic planning session, we don't unfortunately have very detailed findings documented on our website. If we have a representative from penn/fairy I will raise it and request an update and ensure it gets included in the Lake report updates in the next minutes. The last update I can share is that I sent contact information for the navigable waters protection program- to Peter Van Busikirk (which he was already in contact with- sept8/08)
S. 7 (A) - Motioned that the HLC donate $100.00 to the Muskoka Heritage Foundation. Passed. Was this done? I will need to confirm with Bruce what was issued.
Minutes from October 4, 2008
S. 5(C) - Mary M. has provided an excellent update on the 'buoys' and Tonia said that she would post that information. Has this been done? Dwayne is posting three attachments to the minutes for October 4th, 2008 re the buoys and their last known status. I will update the council this Saturday with this information.
Minutes from December 5, 2008
S. 8(H) - Pells Lake was put off (again) until February 16th. It is now mid-April. What is the status of this application? Burr is keeping an eye on it, as it states in the minutes. Once updates are available to share I'm sure he'll let the planning and application review committee know as well update the council at the next lake update roundtable discussion.
S. 9 - Second para. - motioned that "we donate $200.00 to Muskoka Heritage in Barb Paterson's name". Passed. What is the status of this motion? Does Muskoka Heritage refer to 'Muskoka Heritage Place - Pioneer Village" in Huntsville or to "Muskoka Heritage Foundation" in Bracebridge? it refers to the foundation in Bracebridge; I will need to confirm with Bruce what was issued..
Minutes from January 31, 2009
S. 9(C) - Buoys: Tonia will present this at our next meeting. Has something regarding 'buoys' been presented? the update was concerns around the buoys stored at Mary's house as well as the status of the Buoys and responsibility going forward for lakes in Huntsville. it has not been presented as we always run out of time.
Suggestion.
On your agenda, prior to "New Business", add the item, "Old Business". Review the business from the past meeting for any updates and/or accomplishments, hopefully eliminating matters that have been overlooked. Remembering that once approved, these minutes are available to the public.
Past Directors
Last night, you recognized Mary, Elaine and me for our service to the HLC. I would ask that you consider similarly acknowledging the following -
Barb Stronach who verbally resigned in August 2008. Jeanne O'Neill has a BBQ apron on which the HLC logo is embroidered. It was intended to be presented to Barb, but was never done.
Bill Jolley who verbally resigned in August 2008.
Kim Small who by letter, resigned in September 2008.
Special Request
As founding members and past executive directors of the HLC who are interested in its future and accomplishments, would you please consider including Mary, Elaine and myself in your e-mailing of future agendas and meeting minutes. We would be pleased to assist the HLC where needed.
Sincerely yours,
Bill Somers.
