Committee Reports
Administration
CLID assessments have been charged for the last 2 years for a property that is unbuildable and that has no address. Discussion took place about what should be done. Mike Bury made a motion to exempt this property from assessment, there was no second. Motion failed. After more discussion the board decided that we would send the property owner a letter outlining our exemption policy.
Lake Vegetation Plan
The aerator has not been turned on as yet because the state DNR has not checked the oxygen levels in the lake.
When Mike Bury sends out RFP’s for lake vegetation treatments he will specify that a newly developed chemical “Renovate Max G”, a granular product that combines two selective herbicides to target EWM, will also be quoted.
Mike is going to send a request for grant in the amount of $30,000.00 to the DNR. We may have to update the LVMP if the grant is executed in order to receive the funds, as it would include more treatment than the 16% total treatment currently allowed.
Leon Mager handed out a document that shows data from 2008 to present of water quality. It will be used as part of the supporting documentation for grant requests.
Finance / Fundraising
Mike Bury tried to contact the person with Bonestroo, Inc. that is in charge of requesting federal grants to look further for financial assistance.
Communication / Publications
Mike Bury talked to Patrick Selter from PLM about the AIS Forum that was planned by MN Waters and we had not heard of any action on the subject. CLIA donated $500.00 toward the project as Patrick was to be working with Mn Waters to bring a focus group to work at bringing attention to the lack of cooperation with the MN DNR pertaining to treatments, scheduling, etc. There is an organization called Minnesota Seasonal Recreational Property Owners, www.mspro.orgthat will be hosting the Tri County Aquatics Species Legislative Summit on Saturday that is interested in taking action toward dealing with the DNR and their policy for lake treatments. He also said that the meeting that was to be held by Minnesota Watersmight not occur.
New Business
None

A motion was made by Lowell Efterfield, seconded by Al Beck that the meeting be adjourned at 8:10 PM. Motion passed.
