A motion was made by Mike Bury, seconded by Al Beck to approve the Treasurer report for November 2010 as submitted.  Motion Passed.

Old Business

Mike Bury was told by Britney Hummel that the point transect survey that was done in August has not been completed yet.

Mike also had discussions with Brittney about including the west bay in the LVMP for a curly leaf grant next year. 

There are new federally mandated regulations via the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Program that limits the amount of pesticide chemicals that can be used to treat invasive species in lakes.  It relates only to those lakes that want to treat more than 15% of the lake.  This is in addition to what the DNR mandates.  A meeting is scheduled for Wednesday November 17, 2010 in Shoreview.  Lowell Efterfield has volunteered to attend as the CLID’s representative.

Water quality monitoring needs to be provided by the CLID every other year.  Arlan Mercil, Lowell Efterield and Mike Gaynor are the CLID’s representatives to take the samples.  We need to decide if we will do the surveys or we will pay to have the Anoka Conservation District do them as they do in even numbered years on Coon Lake for the Sunrise Watershed Management Organization.  More discussion will take place at the December meeting. 

Mike Bury made a motion seconded by Al Beck that Lowell Efterield be now recognized as CLID treasurer and is authorized to make signatures representing the CLID. This is necessary to transfer the check signatory template for checks issued from Ron Croteau as previous Treasurer, to Lowell Efterfield as new Treasurer. 

Ron presented an e-mail from The Anoka County Finance Department that outlines the procedures for the CLID related to audits.  We need to have one every 5 years.  Ron will follow up with the county and report back to us. 

Committee Reports

1)       Administration

Ron Croteau will contact Peder Otterson at the state for a list of other LID’s in Minnesota.  The list will be used for future reference and contact information when we have questions or want to know what others have done to resolve issues. 

2)       Lake Vegetation Plan

None 

3)       Finance / Fundraising

None

 4)       Communication / Publications

New Business

The culvert between Coon and South Coon Lake has been replaced by a Box Culvert that is 8’ high x 12’ w and is about 10’ longer than the old one.  Mike added that the design of the catch basins allows water runoff to go directly into the lake and will draft a letter of concern about the design to the city of Ham Lake.  Al made a motion and Lowell seconded it to have Mike Bury draft a letter.  Motion Passed.

Adjourn

A motion was made to adjourn by Al Beck, seconded by Lowell Efterield that the meeting be adjourned at 8:20 PM.  Motion passed.
