.

The December 8, 2009 Board Meeting Minutes were approved as printed.

Treasurer’s Report:

Rob Webb reported that the current balance in the LID checking account is $29,861.00   A bill for $750.00 was paid to the DNR for a permit. There is one outstanding bill to Hilltop Sports for moving and relocating a huge floating bog from the East end of the lake.

Professional lake Management Recommendations

 Mr. Selter stated that a granular product is used for milfoil control rather than liquid products. Studies have found that herbicide application is more effective if dosage is based upon water depth in treated areas.    The range of water depths that need treatment on Lake Alexander range from 4 feet to 12 feet; the average depth is 7 ½ feet which averages out to be a cost of $563.00 per acre for granular milfoil herbicide.  The Board deemed that the current budget along with the surplus monies makes it financially feasible for treatment of the allowed 112 acres.

A motion was made by Rick, seconded by Rob, to treat the 112 infested milfoil acres as shown on the map provided by PLM.  Motion carried.

MR. Selter stated PLM would like to apply the herbicides for curly leaf in the next few days because lake temperature is reaching optimal temps for spraying.  Rick will call Audrey Kuschinski to ask that the curly leaf permit be issued ASAP.   PLM is targeting the last part of May for milfoil treatment.

Annual Meeting:

The date for the general annual meeting is set for July 17^th. There are three Board positions up for election.  Dr. Bill and Rob indicated a desire to have their names on the ballot at the annual meeting.  Rick will call Gordy to inquire as to his intentions.  A notice will be posted on the Board at the Town Hall and it also will be put in the Morrison County Record.  Ballots for election of Board members will be sent to all property owners three weeks prior to the annual meeting.

The date for the next Board Meeting will be Tuesday, June 15^th at 6:30 P.M.

Meeting adjourned at 7:25 P.M.
