VVA Board of Directors Call to Order Phil Stockard called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. in the upper level of the clubhouse. Members in attendance were Troy Lesan, Mike Booth, Susan Zalenski and Mike Krehbiel. Flint Hibler and James Funk were unable to attend. Shad Mort led the Pledge of Allegiance. Troy Lesan led in prayer. Approval of Minutes Mike Krehbiel moved to approve the minutes of the Oct. 14, 2018, board meeting. Susan Zalenski seconded; motion passed. Committee Reports Handbook Committee: No report. Finance Committee: Troy Lesan reported on the Finance Meeting. The committee discussed moving some money to different institutions to get better interest rates. They would like to open a new CD for the Deferred Capital Projects funds. Troy also reported that our old ambulance had been sold. Troy Lesan moved that the proceeds of that sale be used to offset the cost of the fire truck purchased this year. Mike Booth seconded the motion; motion passed. At this time the expenses are below budget. They also agreed to put the $10,000 for campground expansion back in the budget for next year. Strategic Planning Committee: Susan Zalenski reported the clubhouse renovation talks continue and the committee is putting a plan together. Susan will elaborate on the plan later in this meeting. Susan also discussed the Nominating Committee and moved to add Jim Miller to that committee. Troy Lesan seconded; motion passed. Activities Committee: No report. Building Committee: No report. Fire Department: Tony Gronniger reported on the Annual Fire Department Chili Cookoff. It was a great success again this year with more than 100 attendees. Of that 100, Tony asked the crowd how many were there for the first time, and he estimated 20-25 were newcomers. Campground: No report. Lake Committee: Mike Krehbiel had no report. Susan Zalenski asked about the Marina’s ad for new boats. They are advertising 25’ lengths and she would like to see a reminder to the members that our maximum length allowed is 24’. Cemetery: Shad Mort reported there were two burials this week. Infraction Committee: No report. Dredge Committee: Shawn Hepinstall had a handout for the board to review. Shawn discussed the “South End Silt Storage Options.” In summary, he gave three options, which include: 1. Recondition and expand existing structure with bids of $368,750 up to $847,500. 2. Build new structure on Fox Road at an approximate cost of $300,000 to $500,000. 3. Build 2nd (new) structure at south end. “The committee is leaning toward reconditioning the existing silt structure and expanding it (possibly double the size) splitting it into two sections so we could alternate dredging and cleaning.” The next issue in Shawn’s report was the financial options to fund any of the above mentioned projects. The financing will have to be presented to the members at an annual meeting.
Next VVA Board Meeting:
Lake Manager Report 1. Dredge: The Pilot / Pirate cove is complete. Shad Mort explained another area that the dredge was working on, the danger area that has had buoys around it for many years. Shad and maintenance took the dredge down there and ran it back and forth through this area with no pipe on it to see if they could blow the silt to a deeper area. Shad believes that it did work and they reached a depth of about 5-6 feet of water. 2. DNR: Our campground lagoons are now in compliance with DNR. 3. The campgrounds and beaches have been shut down for the winter Financials: Troy Lesan moved to approve the financial statements. Mike Krehbiel seconded; motion passed. Guest Time: 1. Mark Leggett wanted to thank the board for supporting his group with the Halloween party. The bus tour and Halloween party raised $12,579 for the clubhouse renovation. Mark also gave an update on the 50th anniversary proceeds, and the final total was $8,065. Mark presented to the board at last month’s board meeting to use the 50th funds to build an amphitheatre behind the clubhouse. He asked the board if they had made a decision of moving forward with this project, but a couple of board members (Mike Krehbiel and Troy Lesan) expressed concerns about the board making that decision. It is their thought to take the proposal to the members in March and let them decide. The board decided to wait until next month to make a decision, but in the meantime would like to see something in the paper for the members to be thinking if this is what they want. 2. Susan Zalenski discussed the current plans for the clubhouse renovation. She first thanked all the people who worked hard raising money to sup-

November 11, 2018 port the renovation, Mark Leggett, Jana Hanson, Mary Hibler for her challenge, and Don and Carolyn Leeper for stepping up and organizing the renovation. With all the money raised so far, we have $27,500 to get started. That money is enough to get the floors done, new cabinets and paint the walls. Susan said they would like to get started around Dec. 8. The first thing is to demo the cabinets, then put down the flooring and paint. This needs to be done by Feb. 23, in time for the Polar Plunge. Other items that were discussed were a new mantle on the fireplace and painting the grout on the fireplace. Susan moved to block off the calendar for rentals from Dec. 8 to Feb. 23. Mike Krehbiel seconded; motion passed; so the clubhouse will not be available for rentals between the above mentioned dates. Tony Southwick offered to get new toilets for the bathrooms. Susan also asked for volunteers to help with whatever they can. Mike Booth moved to allow the Clubhouse Rehab Committee to begin working on the clubhouse, but not to exceed the $27,500 that had been raised through donations. Susan Zalenski seconded; motion passed. Board Action 1. Dissolution of Sub-committees: Phil Stockard moved that, effective immediately, all sub-committees be dissolved and will operate within their parent committee with the exception of the Clubhouse Rehab and Dredge committees. Mike Booth seconded; motion passed. 2. Political Signs: Phil Stockard opened discussion with a new state statute that bars Homeowners Associations from banning political signs, but the bill does allow an HOA the authority to adopt reasonable rules regarding the time, size, place, number and manner the political signs are displayed. A list of rules was put before the board for discussion and vote, and they are: Continued on Page 9
Clubhouse Renovation ... progress! It takes a community … to fund and remodel a clubhouse. We are very fortunate to have a very generous community at Lake Viking to fund and volunteer for help with the clubhouse renovation. While we haven’t reached our fund-raising goal to complete the renovation, we do have the funds to complete some major projects. The Board gave us a big boost by donating the sales proceeds of the airport lot that had been donated back to the association. Many thanks to the Board!!! We also had a very successful Halloween fundraiser and silent and live auction on Oct. 27. Mark Leggett, Jana Hanson and Carolyn and Don Leeper did an awesome job of organizing the Halloween/Fall party and fundraiser. Our community stepped forward with volunteers, donors and generous purchasers to help us raise over $12,000 net toward renovation. A big shout out to sponsors of the Halloween/Fall Party fundraiser: Rekindled Spaces – Leanne Lee, Viking Septic, Viking Dirtworks, Reece Nichols Ide Capital LLC, Weldon Farms, Lake Viking Marine, Rob’s Cycle, State Farm Mike Green, Landmark Realty, Ston-

escapes, Matt Atkinson, Steve Puckett, Missouri Central Title, Lake Viking Sales, R&D Enterprises, and Century 21 Crossroads. We encourage you to thank and support these businesses. We are extremely grateful for the generosity of our community. Through your generosity, we plan to start renovations on the Clubhouse in mid-December. We have the funding to purchase new cabinets, paint the walls and do the floor. We expect work to start on cabinets, floors and painting in December and be completed by the end of February. We would welcome additional cash donations or donated construction materials. We will continue renovations as donations are made. As you know, this is a “pay as you go” project. We do need volunteers to assist with the labor. If you plan to volunteer your labor, please reach out to Carolyn and Don Leeper who are managing the construction project. We may put out calls for help on Facebook and email … so stay tuned. We will keep you informed as the work progresses. Thanks to this generous Lake Viking community for your continued support!

Road District implements changes after scrutiny Reprinted from the Nov. 28, 2018, edition of the Gallatin North Missourian
Daviess County Special Road District #1 at Lake Viking came under scrutiny in March of 2017 when it was discovered how a bid of $55,850 for road improvement blossomed into a $220,177 bill. This was for shoulder and ditch improvements along 165th Street, commonly known as the Altamont entrance road to the lake. Irregularities about the bidding process, work authorization and board oversight prompted speculation that a breach in legalities may have occurred. No charges have been filed in the aftermath of extended investigatiions and, at this point, none are expected. But dramatic changes have since occurred for Daviess County Special Road District #1. Commissioners serving at the time bids were let in 2016 were Jeff Hower, Duane Charles and Jeff Johnson. Since that time when bids were let, there have been eight different commissioners to serve on the 3-seat board. Currently elected commissioners Ron Spidle, Mark E. Leggett, and Troy Knight have been serving on the board since April 2018. A review of the records by the current commissioners showed that previously there was no formal schedule for external audits/reviews of commission proceedings or actions. Records do show that audits were performed in 1999, 2000, and 2010. It appears that past recommendations regarding operational procedures were ignored and not implemented. In contrast to previous ways, the following actions have been taken by the new special road district commissioners: Feb. 6, 2017 — Commission engaged the legal firm of Griffin, Dietrich & Elliott to guide decisions on how to best protect the interest of the taxpaying citizens in the district going forward. Dec. 18, 2017 — Commission representative met with officials from the State Highway Department, Daviess County Sherriff’s office and the Daviess County Prosecuting Attorney to review the findings and recommendations of their investigations. From that meeting, the commission • adopted a consistent meeting schedule to manage the affairs of the district. • agreed to establish a short and long term plan for the roads that will be communicated to the public upon completion of the process. Feb. 22 through April 23, 2018 — A preliminary review by the Missouri [Continued on next page]

Road District makes changes (continued from previous page)
State Auditor’s office was secured which outlined a recommended course of action. Aug. 28, 2018 — Commissioners agreed to hire Westbrook Accounting to conduct an administrative agreed upon procedures process review. This is to examine and review all practices by the road district and make recommendations accordingly. This also includes a detail audit review of all the records as it related to the 165th Street Project. Oct. 12, 2018 — Commission representative met with State Sen. Dan Hegeman to discuss irregularities involving the 165th Street Project. Oct. 25, 2018 — Commission met with representative from the office of the Missouri State Auditor to seek advice in regards to the 160th Street Project. Nov. 7, 2018 — Westbrook Accounting conducts onsite audit procedure. “We have learned a lot over the past year and understand the importance of being transparent to the taxpayers in this road district,” says Commissioner Mark E. Leggett. “It is my opinion that we have taken the various steps to restore integrity required to be an elected official and we have implemented safeguards that will prevent situations like the ones we inherited. In addition we have sought professional advice and have been acting accordingly to insure that a resolution for the 165th Street Project is secured.”

The outcome of this year’s best chili vote was 1st place Lynn Dustman; 2nd place Eric Odette; 3rd place Michael Closterman. Best desserts:1st place Gail Bush; 2nd place Nancy Campbell; 3rd place Mary Hibler. The event raised $1,200 in donations for the Fire Department Fund.

Clubhouse renovation to begin soon
7
By Troy Lean It’s not hard to imagine that the Clubhouse renovation folks were becoming discouraged. Last year at the annual meeting, Don and Carolyn Leeper and Susan Zalenski of the Strategic Planning Committee made it known that they were ready to go to work and were waiting for funding that would be based on donations. The year started off with some nice personal donations, and Mary Hibler and her stalwart Activities Committee did some good fund-raising with social events, but as time marched on, the amount raised was well short of what was needed to begin rehab work for the 50-year-old clubhouse. Then in October, things started to happen. An S-lot that had been donated to the Association was auctioned off and the Board voted to donate the proceeds (minus expenses) of the sale which amounted to $8,500. A couple of weeks later a big day-long Halloween event took place (see photos) that raised another $12,000. Suddenly, the Clubhouse Renovation had money to work with These Halloween revelers may not know it, but consider their merriment to be an advance celebration of to the tune of around $27,000. A good start for Clubhouse Renovation to start soon. sure; enough to do a new floor and cabinets. JESSE A. WHITE - OWNER JOHN A.

Proposed Amphitheater: This diagram is from Mark Leggett and is his proposal for an amphitheater that would be located on the hill west of the clubhouse. It is proposed that construction would be done by Association labor with large limestone rocks costing between $4,200 to $13,400 (depending on the grade of limestone) with the finished product being a small outdoor multi-function amphitheater venue for use by Association Members and for future Association events. Input from readers is welcome at any time. Your thoughts?
What do the members think? It has been proposed by Mark Leggett to use the proceeds of last year’s event to build an Amphitheatre behind the clubhouse. It would be a 3-tiered structure using big flat rock. It could be used for weddings, bands and other activities throughout the year. Sponsorship money was raised to celebrate the Lake’s 50th Birthday and Mark would like to also propose some kind of naming rights for the Amphitheatre. The Board discussed this at the November Board Meeting and it is the thought of some Board Members to let all Association members decide if this is something they want and bring it to the Annual Meeting in March for a vote. We would like to hear your opinion, so plan to attend the December Board Meeting on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 6:30 p.m. if you would like to voice your opinion.

A Doublewide Texas Christmas This production was yet another highly entertaining play put on by the Gallatin Theater League. And every time I go to a GTL production. I see more and more Lake Viking Association members in the audience. The GTL has a long track record of great performances with comedy as their specialty. Over the years, as in this production, the troupe has relied on a strong core of performers and every production yields excellent performances by different individuals. This particular comedic play, with a cast of ten, saw absolutely hilarious performances from Chance Smith (center of picture) as Norwayne “Baby” Crumpler and Tammy Gay (left in picture), who did a stellar cameo as Caprice Crumpler on “Texas TV.” Another great job by the Gallatin Theater League. Can’t wait for their next production. ~ Troy Lesan

Bus excursion, party culminate in GREAT fund-raising effort In late summer Carolyn Leeper reached out to Mark Leggett and Jana Hanson for help in planning a fall fund-raising event in hopes to raise funds for a portion of the clubhouse remodel. Shortly after Mark and Jana met with the Leepers, and the plan started coming together. It was decided that there would be two parts of the fundraiser. The first part would include a bus excursion with a wine tour around the area and then a costume party with live and silent auctions that night. Time was tight. The goal was to have the fund-raiser and begin on some of the remodel project before the end of 2018. The date of Oct. 27 was chosen with hopes that it would not be too late in the year to have a successful event. On the morning of the 27th, 42 lake lovers boarded the KC Night Train for an all-day adventure around NW Missouri visiting local wineries and eateries. The 42 on the bus were granted their boarding passes by jumping on the opportunity to be part of this great cause; they knew it would be a fun day and would be a way they could support Lake Viking. They all arrived at the Lake Viking Clubhouse dressed in costume at 10 a.m. ready to see what fun could be found. The bus departed and headed south to Hamilton with the first stop being Levi Garrison where various beer samples were served. After sampling some delicious brews, the group got their bellies full across the street at Hank and Tank BBQ. With full tummies the adventure continued south through a wonderland of brilliant fall colors to Van Till Winery near Richmond. The bus riders got their
minds challenged with some trivia while waiting their turn for a tasting of delicious Missouri wines. The group had no idea they would experience a petting zoo on this excursion, but at Of The Earth Farm Distillery in Ray County, they got to pet some llamas, learn how alcohol is distilled, and sample an array of libations. Now the late afternoon was quickly approaching and the last stop, Grindstone Winery, was still over 30 minutes away. The group was certain that they needed some additional beverages to last them until they reached Osborn, so a quick pit stop was made in Polo before venturing on. At Grindstone a tasting was also offered. It was a brief stop as the group knew they had a long evening ahead of them, but they rallied as they knew it would mean positive things for the lake. The Halloween Party and Auction started at 6:30 that evening with dinner served by Smoking Gringo. Levi Garrison was also on site providing beverages and numerous auction items were on display.
The guests poured into the clubhouse to enjoy a fun evening. There were well over 145 guests that arrived at the party with nearly all of them in costume! Jocelyn Winter of West Central Auction of Harrisonville donated her time to assist Mark Leggett in making the auction a success. The event was more successful than expected; the fund-raiser generated over $12,000, giving the Leepers and their committee a great start to the remodel project. It was a fabulous fun day for all and an incredible amount of funds was generated, all because a great community stepped up!

November firearms deer harvest ends with 1,718 for Daviess Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that deer hunters in Daviess County harvested 1,718 deer during the November portion of fall firearms deer season, Nov. 10-20. Of the 1,718 deer harvested, 911 were antlered bucks; 169 button bucks; 638 does. Last year Daviess County harvested 1,553 deer during the November portion. Across the state a near-record 199,427 deer were taken. Of the 199,427 deer harvested, 102,930 were antlered bucks, 19,924 were button bucks, and 76,573 were does. Top harvest counties were Franklin with 4,021 deer checked, Howell with 3,858, and Callaway with 3,695. Last year hunters checked 192,797 deer during the 2017 November portion of firearms deer season with 100,161 being antlered bucks, 20,267 being button bucks, and 72,369 being does. The recent-record season was 2012 with 204,668 deer harvested, including 87,368 antlered bucks, 27,143 but-
ton bucks, and 90,157 does. MDC reported eight firearms-related hunting incidents during the November portion of firearms deer season of which three involved fatalities — two of which occurred incidental to hunting while at hunting camps and one self-inflicted incident while in the field. According to Missourinet, one fatality involved a Willard High School coach in southwest Missouri. Justin Atchison, 24, was killed while hunting near Cave Spring in Greene County. The Macon County Sheriff’s Department in northern Missouri is investigating a rifle that allegedly went off accidentally – killing an Illinois hunter Sunday afternoon near Atlanta, MO. According to a press release, Charles Bark, 70, and other hunters were preparing to go hunting when a rifle discharged by another hunter. An eastern Missouri man has also been killed in northeast Missouri while getting ready to go hunting. St. Louis television station KMOV reports that Randell
Reising of Arnold, 52, was shot in the chest by a hunting friend at a cabin near Lewiston. Of the five non-fatal incidents, four were self-inflicted and the fifth occurred when the shooter struck a victim while swinging on game. Deer hunting in Missouri continues with archery deer hunting from Nov. 21 through Jan. 15, 2019. The late youth portion of firearms deer season runs Nov. 2325. The antlerless portion of firearms deer season runs Nov. 30 through Dec. 2. Lastly, the alternative methods portion will run Dec. 22 through Jan. 1, 2019. Learn more about deer hunting in Missouri at huntfish.mdc. mo.gov/hunting-trapping/species/deer. Missouri offers some of the best deer hunting in the country and deer hunting is an important part of many Missourians’ lives and family traditions. Deer hunting is also an important economic driver in Missouri and gives a $1 billion annual boost to the state and local economies.

Wise winter weather tips for your family yard When Old Man Winter comes, calling, homeowners need to keep everyone in the family – including your pets—safe. Follow these wise winter weather tips from the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) and TurfMutt. Bring Pets Inside: Dogs and cats should be kept inside during cold weather months. Wipe their paws and bellies after they’ve been outside, and check for ice
accumulation between paw pads. If you’re using a de-icing agent, remove that salt and other agents, too. Pick up Debris: Before it snows, remove debris and household items from your family yard.

venient way to clear your driveway and sidewalks. It also gives your pet a path to their bathroom area. Trim Trees Carefully: When using a chainsaw, stand with your weight on both feet, adjust your stance so you are angled away from the blade and hold the chainsaw with both hands. Ventilate Portable Generators: If a winter storm knocks out your
power, a generator can be a life-saver, if used properly. Place the generator outside and away from windows, doors and vents that could allow carbon monoxide to come indoors. Watch Where You Throw: Keep kids and pets away from the equipment, and never put your hand in the chute or auger to clear a blockage. Turn the machine off and always use a clean-out tool.
