Committee Reports
1) Administration
a) Fees for services have been issued by the county starting in 2011for managing the Lake District property tax assessment. The amount is $100.00 plus $1.00 per property per year.
b) Lake property owner signatures are required by the Mn DNR for chemical treatments within 150’ of the shoreline. A question came up as to how long the signatures on file are good for, 1 or 3 years. Mike will verify whether we can use the form for more than one year. If we are approved for a grant we will only send a notice to those people we don’t have a signature on file for. Ron Croteau showed a sample of a form that Long Lake uses that has multiple years and pages so it can be used into the future.
c) Discussed the Swisher property that has a road right of way in front of it and requested a county restoration project. Mike turned the information over to Coon Lake Beach community. The board will take no further action at this time.
2) Lake Vegetation Plan
a) Discussed GPS coordinates.
b) Planning will start soon for the up coming lake treatment season.
3) Finance / Fundraising
a) Discussed the various price per acre that was submitted by the two vendors that submitted bids.
b) Leon Mager & Steve Olson received notice of a DNR grant program in which the district would pay half of the hourly rate of an employee to be stationed at the boat landings. There is also a cooperative program where the district would pay the entire hourly wage but the employee would receive training from the DNR.
c) Mike Bury submitted a request for a DNR grant for the amount of $30,000.00 for bay-wide CLP treatment. We should hear the results by February 19, 2010.
4) Communication / Publications
CLIA, CLID, and Coon Lake Beach all have calendar pages on their web sites. Mike Bury asked if there could be a way to link all of the groups to the same calendar to avoid duplication and confusion.
