GATE Placement along Aluffo; It appears 3 sites are likely. At the ramp, at the “Y” and at the beginning of Aluffo off Gage Irving.

Various ideas were discussed with pros/cons.
Due to the concerns of the State of California and the potential to close our RDR ramp if the public is found on the lake without Mussel Inspection permits AND they launched from the RDR ramp, Chuck made a motion, was seconded and passed with one dissenting vote by Jesse;
Motion; Install some type of gate at the RDR ramp by the 4th of July using the locks/keys that either open the main RDR gate or the point key. In addition, provide signs in appropriate places as well as information out to our membership. Funding to be provided.
Don suggested we explore the matrix of placing a gate at other places and report back next meeting.
Master Plan; -Discussion on launch ramp barrier; (was noted by both Chuck and Bob that may not be needed), insurance, anchorage, costs etc. -Private/community dock discussion included insurance, relationship with RDR. Enforcement issues discussed. -Regaining lagoon boat parking; Jesse expressed his concerns and circumstances he might permit boat parking again. Don will draw up a proposal to be given Jesse at the next meeting.
Rules/Regs; Chuck suggested we review all our rules/regs to see if all are necessary, being complied with or being enforced. Are there any rules we should have and do not? Leo suggested we combine both the CUP’s and Rules/Regs into one document instead of each time we change one, we must change the other..
4th of July plans; Based on past experience, attendance at the point is small during the 4th and the 4th is mid-week, splitting the two weekends. It was decided to not have security, passes etc.
Request for non-RDR property owners to join; Discussed various issues. We cannot violate our trust, but would like to legally find a way for them to join.
Next Meeting; Aug. 11, 2012 9;00am Don Bullards
Adjournment; 11;05
Respectfully submitted,
Chuck Enterline — RDR Secretary
