   New Business

   1. Guest Cato Township Supervisor, Brandi Clark-Hubbard, reported on a number of subjects pertaining to Honeymoon Heights.

   a) Honeymoon Heights roads are “owned” by Montcalm County, who gets funding from the State of Michigan. Townships are expected to contribute. The Road Commission rates all the roads in Cato Township, then determines which need attention. A Cato Township road mileage could be requested for additional funds.

   b) A five person Planning Commission has rezoned Honeymoon Heights as “Lake Residential”, reflecting the actual use of the land.

   c) Short-term rentals (Air BNB, etc.) are currently subject to the rules of Cato Township.

   d) Camping follows the guidelines of Cato Township: Permits are issued for 14 days in calendar year. The guidelines for Honeymoon Heights can be more restrictive if needed. We will evaluate after one year. Ben made a motion to keep Bylaws the same on camping, Debra Calcutt seconded. Motion carried.

   e) Blight: Brandi reported that of the 11 properties deemed with “blight” in HH, two are still unresolved. Some are repeat offenders. The process is complaint based. Ben motioned to update the Bylaws; Rascal Calcutt seconded. Motion carried to change Bylaws to sending one certified/registered letter to offenders instead of two. After 14 days, the blight is reported to Cato Township, who then send a notice. The Bylaw change needs to be recorded at the courthouse.

   2. There is a rodent problem in the clubhouse. Stuart Hazle motioned to hire an exterminator, Ben seconded. Motion approved. Ceiling tiles will be replaced when the problem is eliminated.

   3. The terms for board members Susie Zwingman and Curt Becker expire in 2025. Susie has committed to another term of two years; Curt has elected not to commit to another term. Another "member at large” is needed to fill this vacancy. The Board of Governors will determine the positions for each Board member.
