Johan reminded us that a Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) had been formed and we needed to post all of our meetings and sub-committee meetings at Dunes City and the Westlake Post Office.

Working together we formed a short list of the most important items to be addressed.

    * John Stead will continue working on the list with Jerry Wasserburg and Johan Hogervorst and have it ready to send to Denise Walters next Wednesday, June 21st.

After the list is presented to LCOG they will make an estimate of the cost to Dunes City. Then it will go to the Planning Commission and on to the City Council.

Johan thinks we would get the DLCD grant for the full amount of $12,500.

At the last Council meeting he told the Council we would be using the existing code and the Model Cities Code.

The CCI along with LCOG would be plugging in new language to strengthen the City Ordinances.

Peter Howison talked with Joanne Hickey about the City’s website and how they could proceed to get more information to the site.

*Johan Hogervorst will contact Mike Casinksi Kucinski for the Inspectors status of Wally’s Septic.

Susie Navetta gave a report on Priority #4 – Education. The committee is working towards an educational flier for June, a newsletter for July, and “Festival of the Lakes” for August.

David Bellemore, Ralph Farnsworth, Peter Howison, Bob Mohler, and John Stead attended a meeting in Eugene with Mark Chernaik, Gary Darnielle and Denise Kalakay of LCOG, the engineer from EGR, and Lombardo Associates of Boston.

Pio Lombardo says he has the only system on the market that will actually reduce the phosphorus to a minimum by use of a conventional system and some additional alterations added on. Mark Chernaik agreed this could be done. It’s all about performance standards and zero phosphates. Pio will be meeting with DEQ to get approval of his product. A discussion of phosphates followed.

*Jerry Wasserburg and Mark Chernaik will continue their discussion on Performance Based Systems. Pio said, “We have passed the point…” on Woahink Lake.

Oregon Shores Coalition would like to know what they could do for Dunes City. After discussion we came to the conclusion they should review the BMP’s put into the ordinances by LCOG.

*Johan will make that request.

*Richard Koehler will be hoofing it to Eugene to get the data from the Lane County Sanitarian.

*Everyone should send an Email of list to John Stead for improved BMP’s by Tuesday.

No meeting next week.

*John Stead will be sending these on to LCOG on Wednesday, June 28th.

*Next meeting – Wednesday, June 28th at 7:00 P.M. at Dunes City.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 P.M.

Respectfully submitted,  Susie Navetta
