Livingston Bay Board Meeting Via Teleconferencing 9/25 at 7 pm

Greetings Community Members,
The Board of Trustees is dedicated to discussing and addressing timely, recently discovered Trustee Election Process and Balloting irregularities, as outlined in a letter to the community from the Board on Monday, September 14th. Since it is difficult on short notice to bring the entire Board group together in one room, the Board group will conduct a Board meeting via Teleconference on Friday September 25th at 7pm. Members, who chose to listen in, will be supplied (as noted below) a teleconference call in number (which can be dialed from a phone at any location) and pass code. Members can dial in and listen to the Board proceedings, but will not be allowed to speak and no questions from members will be fielded during or after the meeting. On conclusion of the Boards deliberation in regard to remediation of the Election process, the Board will furnish a digital transcribed recording of the teleconference to the membership, which will clearly outline a process for moving forward with the Trustee Election process. Instructions for Teleconference Dial in:
 Dial the Call in Number for Members listed below
 You will be prompted to enter your pass code and pound # sign noted below and then state your name.
 A prompt will come on and state you have joined the conference and state how
many current members have joined into the conference call. Place your phone on mute to eliminate background noise and wait for the meeting to begin. Teleconference Call in Number for LBCA Members: 1-712-432-1500 ( This is a toll call unless you have unlimited minutes) Passcode: 495691#

LBCA Water Conservation-Summer 2015

The 2015 summer season is expected to be one of the warmest and driest on record. We urge community members to use good judgement and use our precious water resource as sparingly
as possible.

With the aquifer levels as low as they are this year, we run the risk of well contamination by salt water intrusion, as a result of over water usage.
As a community, we need to revert back to an odd / even conservation method. If your house number is an even number, you can water on even numbered days.

Below are some additional reminders and tips to assist in water conservation:
• Adjust sprinklers so you are only watering the lawn and not sidewalks or streets.
• Water your lawn or garden in the early morning or late evening to minimize evaporation.
• Use sprinklers for large areas of grass. Water small patches of lawn and gardens by hand to avoid waste.
• Consider using a broom vs a hose to clean off driveways and sidewalks.
• Make sure you know how to shut off your automatic watering system in case of mal function.
• Water only when necessary.
• Minimize watering to two times per day and consider letting your lawn go dormant.
• Do not water any vegetation on community property.
• Refrain from washing vehicles.
We want to ensure there is enough water for all members to use for essential needs, during this unusually warm and dry summer season, so your assistance with water conservation is greatly appreciated by the Board and all LBCA members.
