| The
Burt Lake Preservation Association's goal is the preservation and
improvement of Burt Lake and its watershed for quality use by future
generations. To do this we will unify the lake community to confront
the key issues involving the lake and its watershed. Working in cooperation
with federal, state, and local government entities, educational institutions,
foundations, conservancies and other resources, the Burt Lake Preservation
Association (BLPA) will contribute financial and human resources to
fulfill this goal. While supporting and participating in an array
of activities, we assume responsibility for the following: |
|
|
|
 |
|
| |
|
|
|
- Use
of the lake, its shoreline, and its watershed all impact water
quality, water safety, and water enjoyment.
|
| |
|
|
|
- Good
management and direction are the key to successful Association
operation.
|
| |
|
|
|
- The
BLPA will promote understanding, appreciation, and protection
for the rights and responsibilities of property owners.
|
| |
|
|
|
- Government
decisions and legislation may have important effects on our surrounding
areas.
|
| |
|
|
|
- The
breadth of Association activity is limited only by the depth of
Association resources.
|
| |
|
|
|
- In
the interest of the best possible communications with our membership,
governmental units, other agencies and organizations, we may:
|
|
- Publish
a newsletter a minimum of three times per year
- Publish
a Directory annually listing membership names, addresses, and
phone numbers along with pertinent information regarding the lakes
and its watershed
- Conduct
an annual meeting
|
| |
|
 |
- Support
and use the resources of the Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council,
Little Traverse Bay Conservancy, and other associations deemed
important to our mission. There are some matters that fall beyond
the scope of the Association and/or Trust activity or authority.
Therefore, we will not:
|
| |
- Endorse
political candidates for any office
- Contest
or support local taxes
- Allow
association records, lists, photographs, videos, or books to be
used for commercial purposes without express vote of the Board
of Directors
- Arbitrate
or support or otherwise become involved in negotiation or disputes
of a personal nature between individual Association members and
others
