2025 - August Beacon

· A bidet has been installed in the handicap bathroom.

· A loose pipe coupling was identified and addressed in the septic system. This may reduce the “false alarms” that have been triggering recently and a new wifi access point for the harbor has been purchased (but is not yet installed). The intent is to improve coverage specific to B and A docks. Finally, often getting work done for the clubhouse requires vendors and contractors to visit the island. I’d like to thank the weekday managers and their teams for supporting getting folks on the island, doing work on the island, and being the smart hands when needed to provide remote support.

Harbor & Grounds

John O’Leary

Good day from Harbor & Grounds.

Where did the time go. We are at the halfway point of the boating season!!

After an assessment of the wells and docks we have identified and prioritized some safety initiatives. It is apparent that there needs to be a yearly maintenance and replacement plan for pilings. Given the extraordinary investment and improvement this year on battle hip row, we are starting with the first replacement of aging pilings. It was clear to me during the visit by the Pride of Michigan, that there are damaged and deteriorating pilings out there and our largest boats are moored there. This dock also takes the brunt of the ice flow, so we need to protect the sea wall, so we’ve set a budget for annual maintenance at least through next year over some of the more aesthetic or social thoughts we originally targeted.

Lighting for long term solution is the next urgent planning initiative and weekly aesthetic, and general maintenance will continue.

There have been many members sharing their wishes and concerns and the H&G team remains appreciative and ready to serve the membership.

Regards, Your H&G crew.
