Exotic Species Committee Report:
Aquatic Plant Management Legislation deferred to DNR Commissioners and they will present their plan to the legislature by April 1, 2008.
Tour and Inspection by committee with Jacquelyn Bacigalupi on June 26th. She approved treating 16 acres this year, in three different areas. These are monoculture milfoil areas with no native plants present. The will not allow treatment of small patches that were noted on this tour. Their reasoning being they do not impact property owners because of their size and location.
Treatment Plan:
Professional Lake Management to treat on or about July 9th at a cost of $150 per acre. DNR approved $6400 for treatment and Meeker Co. Lakes Association have set aside $3000 for treatment on Lake Washington. So, this treatment will be fully paid for by these two sources.
Question by the board, can we sell out surplus chemical to Professional Lake Management, Kim will check on this.
Downloaded information from PLM is too complicated for us to use on our laptop.
Discussion of posting on our website what our month by month agenda would look like. Tabled this for the next meeting.
Jen asked who or what address we have to send the Campground a thank you for their contribution to the milfoil and siren funds.
