The Winona Boathouse Association

The Winona Boathouse Association maintains this website to provide access to the legal documents involved in mooring boathouses on Latsch Island, Winona MN. The WBA cannot be contacted through this website. It will not host additional links on this website.

PURPOSE OF WINONA BOATHOUSE ASSOCIATION

The WBA enters into an annual mooring site license agreement with Latsch Island boathouse owners in accord with a license agreement with the City of Winona and a Publics Water Permit issued to the city from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The WBA preserves and protects “the rights of individuals to own, upgrade, renovate, rebuild, sell, give away, maintain and use boathouses moored to Latsch Island.” (WBA By-laws #2A). The WBA also provides trash dumpsters, portable toilets and recycling bins for its members.

The WBA serves “as a democratic, self-governing and self-regulating community with a goal of eliminating problems before they become a concern for local, state or federal bodies.” Its Board of Directors include a president, secretary, treasurer, two at-large representatives and area representatives from Upper Latsch Island, Middle Latsch Island and Lower Latsch Island (Wolf Spider Island). (WBA By-laws #7A, 7B).

The WBA is a nonprofit organization that has acted in the above capacities since June 1, 1997. (WBA By-laws #6).
