Meeting was called to order at 7:05 PM by Art Henry, President. Art opened with a short prayer.

Minutes of Oct 27, 2009 meeting were read. Accepted by Pete, seconded by Joan. All in favor, minutes accepted.

Steve Fournier, County Rep, asked to speak about the reinstatement of the boat patrol. The boat patrol is on Goodyear Lake, Otsego Lake and Canadarago Lake. He asked if the assoc. would donate to the Sheriff to help offset the cost of the patrol, this would give leverage to the Representatives to continue the patrol in future years. The County restored $10,500 this year, last year budget line was $12,000. The County is reimbursed by the State. If there is no cost to the county the board is more likely to approve the patrol. The Sheriff Dept can sponsor a boat safety program for the lake community this spring.

Vince made a motion that the GYLA make a $200 donation toward the boat patrol. Second by Jerry, all in favor, motion carried. Steve will make sure the money goes to the boat patrol and will let Susan know who to send the check to. Art thanked Steve for his diligent as a County Rep.
