Campground Committee
Minutes
Laurel Park Campground Draft Minutes of Meeting - 8/6/11
The meeting was called to order at 9:15am by Don DiBello, chairman.
Attending: John Ellicott, Don Di Bello,
Joan Di Bello
Representing the Hideout:
Sari Lang, Recreation Director
Old Business:
1. Bath House – Cob webs are prolific throughout the men’s room section. In the men’s room a privacy curtain is needed between the commode and shower areas.
2. Roads – The wash outs have not been addressed. The ruts on the roads may cause damage to vehicles.
3. The problem of electricity distribution at each site has not been addressed nor any restoration of the storage area.
4. The committee has not been advised if a system has been developed between Security and the Recreation Department. Both departments must know who is officially registered within the camping area.
New Business:
1. Barbecue is scheduled for Sept 3rd at 4:00pm.
2. Security problem – On July 23rd at approx. 1:30pm a white sports car with a black hood or trunk went racing through the camping area. It traveled at a high speed throughout the camping area; “fishtailing”all over the roads as it sprayed gravel and dust throughout the area. The incident was immediately reported to Security. Security never came to Laurel Park to investigate the situation. To date, the committee has not had any response from Security.
This weekend, the patrol through the Camping Area was almost none existent.
A motion to adjourn the meeting was made at 10:00am by John Ellicott and seconded by Don Di Bello.
Respectfully submitted
Joan Di Bello, Secretary

Laurel Park Campground Draft Minutes of Meeting - 7/2/11
The meeting was called to order at 9:15am by Don DiBello, Chairman
Attending: Connie Richard, John Ellicott, Wayne Balanovich, Jean Carven, John Carven, Don O’Connor, Maryanne Sparkowski, Craig Sanberg, Patti Sanberg, Joan Di Bello, Don Di Bello.
Representing the Hideout:
Joe Kozuch, Security Director
Old Business:
1. Security-
1. The security camera’s have been installed and are operational. The cameras will be able to monitor the bathroom doors and the entrance to Laurel Park.
2. Security will try and develop a plan with Recreation in order to track daily site renters. Hopefully a new coordinated system between recreation and security will alleviate the problem of individuals “squatting” on sites without registering.
2. Maintenance –
1. Road – It has totally fallen apart. It needs regular maintenance with screening. The least expensive plan for the future would be to tar and chip the road.
2. Bathhouse – Prior to the start of the week-end the bath house did not appear clean. Large amounts of webs and dust were present.
3. Electricity – the electric face plates at some of the sites need to be addressed. The sites with 50 amp receptacles can only have one trailer hook-up. The face plates need to have two (2) 30 amp outlets on each face plates.
4. Restorations- The area along the top part of the main road in front of the storage sites need to be stabilized.
5. All the problems noted from 2010 at the last meeting still needs to be addressed.
New Business:
1. Garbage Cans- request that on Holiday weekends an extra can be placed at the building. More members are using the facility and a can fills up quickly. Extra trash left near the can is unsightly and may draw unwanted visitors.
John Ellicott motioned that the meeting be adjourned at 9:55am. John Carven seconded the motion.
Respectfully submitted,
Joan Di Bello, Secretary
Laurel Park Complex Committee Draft Minutes of Meting - 5/28/11
The meeting was called to order by Don Di Bello, co-chairman at 9:15am. The following were in attendance: Bertie Keels, John Keels, John Ellicott, Edward J. Sparkowski, Connie Richards, Domingo Perez, John Carven, Joe Staum, Barbara Staum, Don Di Bello, Joan Di Bello, Jean Carven. Guests: Ralph Graf, Joe Kozuch, Nicole Jorgenson, Bill Brenner
Old Business:
1. Security – It appears that we did not have any vandalism in the new boat storage area or Campgrounds this winter. The Board will be placing cameras in the boat storage and bath house areas within the next week.
2. Registration- To date, there has not been any problems with the registration process. The Recreation Department has made a very uneventful transition of the registration procedure from the Registration department.
3. Maintenance Dept. – Over the winter the final section of the water loop was completed in the Campgrounds. A water line was also extended up to the Dog Park for their use. Going forward, it was suggested that an alternate traffic pattern be developed for the Laurel Park Complex. The sites have all been re-numbered and the numbers have been placed on the posts at each site.
New Business:
1. The Committee was informed of Nicole’s recent resignation. We are all very sorry to see her go, but we all wish her well in her future endeavors.
2. Ralph requested until a new director is hired, that the committee forward to him any requests for the future budgets, plans or problems.
3. Problems from 2010 not yet addressed.
1. No water at John Carven’s pop-up
site (28B).
2. The sites that requested base
stoning was not done. (John
Carven-#28 & Craig Sanberg-#1).
3. Each electric site can only hold one
30 amp receptacle. The face plates
at each electric sites need to be
changed so that two trailers can be
plugged into each site
simultaneously.
4. No additional tables have been
placed in the Campgrounds for daily
guests.
4. We requested that again additional garbage cans be placed throughout the Campgrounds. This will prevent a large amount of garbage from being left near the bath house. On busy week-ends and Holidays, the trash can pile up looking very unsightly. In the future, it would be very appropriate if a re-cycling receptacle could be placed at the bath house. This would reduce the amount of garbage that is collected.
5. Restoration of the area dug up for the completion of the water line is needed. The area needs to be stoned. It is now
soft and vehicles can get stuck in the soft material
6. Last week a trailer pulled into a site and pulled out the electricity - site #17. The owner of the trailer lost meat in the
freezer. Nicole & Joe are going to find out who rented the site for restitution of the loss. (No one should pull out anyone’s electric line).
7. Maintenance problems-door lock in the women’s room is not working properly.
Site #20- numbers missing from the pole.
8. Nicole did not advise us if coordination between Registration and Security had been arranged. Patrol does not appear to
know (except for long term sites) when other guests are renting sites. Security should know this for the safety of anyone who uses this facility.
John Ellicott motioned that the meeting be adjourned at 10:25pm. Don DiBello, second the motion
Respectfully submitted,
Joan Di Bello, Secretary
