Old Business

Lowell Efterfield spoke about attending the NPDES Meeting held by the MN DNR. It was determined that due to the requirements of the regulation and that the CLID would benefit being able to treat only 15 more acres by complying, the CLID would not enter into the program.

Mike Bury reported that the Annual Report was sent out to all of the required organizations and also to nearly 300 e-ddresses primarily of lake homeowners. After receiving the Annual Report, the City Council of Ham Lake discussed the funding request included in the script and the request was denied.

Committee Reports 

1.        Administration     

A discussion of the odd-numbered year water quality monitoring was held and Mike Bury will get quotes for the cost of lab work to determine if we will have volunteers collect and send samples or receive them from the Anoka Conservation District that collects them for the Sunrise River Watershed Management Organization in even numbered years.

2.        Lake Plan     

The results from the August Point Transect Survey arrived in a partial Word/Jpeg document. It was discussed that we would like the coordinates in an electronic format such as Excel or GIS. Mike Bury will send that request and ask for a date to expect the data. Mike will also submit both the Aquatic Plant Management Permits, one for CLP and one for EWM, in early January with the description of the areas to be treated to be from previous data and will also send in the application for the 2011 Grant request.   

3.      Finance / Fundraising 

Mail from a local Engineering firm was received that prompted some discussion of possible Federal Grant Monies. Mike Bury will investigate. 

4.        Communication / Publications

It was noted that the Fall Update article in “Coon Lake Living” by Mike Bury failed to thank outgoing members, Ron Croteau and Dave Koenig for their assistance and work of setting up and organizing the CLID. An amendment to that oversight was made in the Fall 2010 Update on the website.
