Collings Lakes Civic Association records dam repairs and fencing measurements, plans bid specification
Summary
Minutes from the Collings Lakes Civic Association on March 1, 2025, record planned repairs to the dam — including grinding about 12 ACBs and concrete work — and detailed measurements for permanent fencing; a bid specification will be prepared and sent out (responsible party not specified).
The Collings Lakes Civic Association recorded a series of dam maintenance needs and fencing measurements at its March 1, 2025, dam meeting, according to the minutes submitted by Secretary David Blair.
The minutes list maintenance items including grinding "approximately 12 ACBs" between both sides of the dam, concrete repairs where ACBs were turned on the East Collings Avenue side, and adjustment of rocks between the water and the ACBs. The document also notes that measurements for permanent fencing on both sides of the dam were taken and that a bid specification will be written and sent out; the minutes do not specify who will draft or issue the bid specification.
The recorded fencing measurements facing the dam from the road were detailed as follows. On the Fenimore Avenue side: 60 feet from the edge of the rocks on the left side to the start of the ACVs; 45 feet from in front of the ACVs to the water's‑edge access area for boats with a 10‑foot double gate; and 10 feet from the boat access area to the water's edge. On the East Collings Drive side: 45 feet coming from the water's edge on the left side to just in front of a telephone pole; about 10 feet from the telephone pole across the front ACVs to inside the wood line; and a 75‑foot section with a double gate access totaling 10 feet (as recorded in the minutes).
The minutes identify attendees — President Steve Slimm, Vice‑President Donovan Saunders, Treasurer Donald Watson, Secretary David Blair and Dam Committee members Bob Kauffman and Bob Sutts — but do not attribute individual statements beyond the submitted minutes document. The minutes use the term "ACBs" without defining the acronym or abbreviation.
The document closes with the meeting completion time of 9:40 AM and the signature line "Respectfully Submitted, Secretary David Blair." The minutes do not record any formal motions or votes; they record planned maintenance, measurements, and the intent to prepare a fencing bid specification as next steps.
