Prior Meeting Minutes
Minutes of the Annual Meeting held on June 28, 2025 were approved.
Financial Review
Secretary/Treasurer Patrick Fisher reviewed the financial statements for the 5-month period ending May 31, 2026. Total operating expense budget for the year is $33,210. This was an increase of only $2.18 for each cabin over 2025. The increase in budget was due to increased insurance costs and increased taxes.
Total year-to-date expenses for 5 months, excluding depreciation, are at 29% of the annual budget.
On a separate note – the income statement shows the full amount of dues collected for the year in the amount of $33,210. This figure is misleading as not all the dues have yet been collected. The accountant advises income is recognized when billed, not when paid. When payment is received, accounts receivable on the balance sheet is reduced and cash is increased. As of 5/30/26 – the financial statements still indicate $9853 in accounts receivable (dues not yet paid).
Members present voted unanimously to accept the financial review as presented.
Old Business
Ratification and Confirmation of Actions of the Officers and Directors for the Past Year. Members voted unanimously to ratify and confirm the actions of the officers and directors for the past year.
Annual Water Report was given to all members present on the back of the agenda for the Water Coop meeting. The last failed tests were in November 2023 and February 2024. The State of Oregon then required monthly testing until November 2024. Though the state dropped the monthly requirement – the Langdon Lake Board of Directors requested the Water Coop to continue with monthly testing. Monthly testing was done until February 2026. With no failures in two years – the Water Coop Board made a request to the Langdon Lake Board to return to quarterly testing – which was approved. The last test before this meeting was in May 2026 with no bacteria detected.
Other Old Business
None
New Business
The State of Oregon conducted an on-site Water System Survey with the Langdon Lake Water Coop on November 13, 2025. The only deficiency cited was no operations and maintenance manual. A one-page manual was later found. However, Brett Schaffer drafted a new 8-page Operations and Maintenance Manual along with a Revised Coliform Sampling Plan – which was accepted by the State.
Election of Directors
The term of the directors for the Langdon Lake Water Cooperative shall expire at each annual meeting. All three current members indicated they were willing to serve another term. The floor was opened for other nominations and there were none. The three were unanimously approved by members present.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 9:38 AM.
Respectfully submitted
Patrick Fisher
Secretary-Treasurer
