Committee Reports
1. Administration
· Ron Croteau submitted a request to Pay Professional Lake Mgmt $3,277.50 for the invoice submitted for treatment costs - Moved by Dave Koenig and seconded by Al Beck to approve the request. Motion Passed.

· Ron Croteau submitted a request to Pay for additional DNR permit fees (up to $750) for any additional fees that may be required up front for treatment of the West Bay areas. Discussion was held, and although we haven’t seen a definite need for this yet, it was recommended we be proactive and approve this so we could be as responsive as possible when the need arose - Moved by Dave Koenig and seconded by Al Beck to approve the request. Motion Passed.
Discussion was held on the topic carried over from the last meeting for the request from Larry Stanfel to be granted a waiver for his properties CLID lake fees. Dave Koenig made a motion to deny this request. Ron Croteau seconded. Motion passed. Mike Bury had volunteered to convey the Board decision to Larry Stanfel.
2. Lake Plan
It was confirmed that we were awarded a $15,000 grant after treatment of the lake east of the channel with an herbicide to control CLP.
After delineation, the spotter teams will try and get information to Jason to be put on a map. Previously Mike Bury had indicated that when he received the map information, he would file for the permit to treat. We would be looking at Late May or early June for treatment. There are 4 possible grant opportunities we would be going for, based on treatments.
3. Finance / Fundraising
Discussion was held on the proposed CLIA donation letter whereby we would ask CLIA for a $10,000 donation at their annual meeting in May. CLIA’s role on the lake was discussed, and it was agreed that CLIA was in a position to be more flexible and use its funds for a variety of things in benefit of the lake such as water quality, surveys, septic review, the dam ,etc, and that was overall very beneficial. The CLID is by charter more focused in its direction and therefore less responsive to new initiatives. It was acknowledged that CLIA has been very generous to the CLID, both in terms of monies for surveys, etc, and also in the form of volunteers for the lake needs such as spotter teams etc. As a result of this discussion, a motion was made by Dave Koenig not to ask CLIA for additional funds at this time – seconded by Ron Croteau. Motion passed.
4. Communication / Publications
Discussion was held on the topic of sending out a letter to CLID members regarding the annual meeting. It was agreed to pattern the letter after last years and modify. Ron agreed to try and find the letter, and provide postage and mailing labels. It was agreed to send this out by early June. A motion was made by Ron Croteau to schedule a special Board meeting on June 2nd to get this done. The motion was seconded by Al Beck – Motion passed. Al Beck agreed to post the notice to meet public notice requirements.
New Business
Ron Croteau presented a straw model of the budget request for consideration. The model needs to be fleshed out with more content and verification of numbers for present and future treatments. It was agreed that Ron Croteau & Dave Koenig would try and get together and present this at the next board meeting if possible, but to definitely have something prepared for Board approval before the annual meeting.
