1. The Annual Meeting was called to order at the Ike Walton's Lodge, Yellow Lake, WI at 10:01 a.m.,
pursuant to the notice sent to all Association members in accordance with the bylaws.
2. A Financial Report was presented by Brad, and will be included with the minutes. Costs for the previous
year were lower due to lower snow fall and plowing. Road grading was also lower than 2014/15. Current
dues for 2016/17 are $150.00 per lot and are currently due for this season. Current balance is $1,770, with
projected expenditures of $2,465 for the coming season. Due dates for payment is on or before the Annual
Meeting date for the upcoming season. Unpaid properties should submit $150 to Treasurer, Brad Champlin.
3. Discussion of the gas line installation occurred, running from the RLMA entry down King Arthurs
Court and capped at lot 15. The line is currently staked and does not interfere with existing plantings,
according to Alan. The line will cut across the road for service several times and go through several
driveways, which will be brought back to existing condition. It was stated that the pipe is being placed using
directional boring, and will occur 18-23 October 2016.
4. The sides of the roads are continued to be mowed by Pat, Kim, Byron, Greg H., and Terry. It was noted
that there continue to be washouts on Pot-o-gold road, with additional sand showing throughout the road.
All other roads appear to be in fair or excellent condition. It was noted that additional gravel should be
placed upon Pot-o-gold Road this season and next in order to service the six properties.
5. Wildlife- bears, otters, beavers, wild turkeys, deer, and snapping turtles have all been seen in the
association in the last year.
6. Pat mentioned his stolen firewood from last year, but no others had reports of thefts.
7. Terry mentioned that oak wilt will take out all white and red oaks in the next ten years according to
naturalists.
8. Maykao noted that by Burnett County Ordinance, Rainbow Lake is now classified a Class 1 (or A) lake
(note Fremstadt is listed as a class 2 lake which requires a 75 setback), and only requires a 75 setback (down
from the 100 setback), and now allows 30 of cleared view per 100 of shoreline. Additional resources
should be identified as Rainbow Lake still does not show as a named lake within Burnett County. Some
