Lake Moxie Campers Association

Meeting called to order 9:00 am with approximately 63 in attendance representing 37 camps around the lake.
Secretary minutes read and accepted.
Treasurer's report read and accepted.
Old Business:
Misunderstanding about membership dues, dues are $50.00 for members, $10.00 for associate members and friends of moxie. It is OK for any of those who paid the small amount due to this miss print on dues notice.
The volunteer road toll brought in $202.25. Our thanks go out to Ron & Susan for their time.
Phone Booth: P.I.P. Public Interest Payphone was brought up as a possible fund to help pay this expense. Leon Drowns Vice President said he would look into this state fund program. Motion was made to limit the out of pocket expense by designating any funds donated by the rafting company's toward the phone expense. This new allocation will be added to the treasurer's reports as a new line item so we can keep track of the total expense for the association. Sandy said she will touch base with the rafting company's regarding donations toward the phone expense.
Cell Phone Tower: We are still looking to confirm any true information regarding the proposed tower in the area. There has been a bid reportedly heard of but not confirmed.
ATV's: Still not a lot known regarding allowed travel down the troutdale road by ATV's. There has been a letter sent to the state to find out what the law allows. Howie Barter encouraged people to be mindful of the possible fines that they may be given. He was fined $115.00 last summer for being on a logging road and spotted by a plane. There is an ATV meeting here at the town hall tomorrow, Sunday May 24th at 9:00 am for any one interested in joining or just seeking information. Pat Fizmaurice brought up the idea of possible association member sticker's for ATV's.
New Business:
Thank you to Dean Thompson for his volunteer plowing around the end of the lake this past winter. There are 3 to 5 members who normally spend the winter here on the lake. The expense to keep the roads plowed is significant. Sandy Thompson said even with the extra plowing she still had over $1,400.00 in plowing costs as she is 3 miles in on the troutdale road. Any help with the winter plowing expenses would be greatly appreciated. Sandy can be reached at 207-663-4453 or email
