2025 JUST ADD WATER - 1/9 Meeting notes

SCCWSC MONTHLY MEETING 20250109.  7:05PM

POND STATUS (Sully)

• On 2/25/25 County Parks has a meeting to go over the deed easement for Valley Water need of PG&E power pole for Coyote Perc Pond Dam Control building. If board approves then Valley water can get it on PG&E's schedule for installation. For now, the plan is to put water down Coyote Creek past Coyote Perc dam for recharge so you will see the creek wet for the winter unless plans change.

• The Club is planning as if this project completes in spring and Water will be maintained at a level we can ski once again.

• Do your Winter exercises!

SARGENT AT ARMS - (Gordon Jensen)

·         INSURANCE:

o    Valid insurance is required.  All policies will be checked to confirm they are valid prior to the pond being open.  If we don’t have a current copy, you will be notified to have your insurance company send one in.

·         INSPECTIONS

o    All must be inspected, a tag must be requested at time of inspection, and a picture of it must be sent to Gordon Jensen before you can launch at the pond.  It is good for one year ONLY if you only launch at the pond.  Launching it at any other body of water voids the inspection and you will have to get reinspected before you go back to the pond.
