Lake Health: Chris Neff from AIS was here to discuss lake health. She is also on the FOCLA board. They have submitted a grant application for a $4,000 Clean Boats Clean Waters grant (CBCW). They will provide training for volunteer inspectors. We will have to provide matching funds or volunteer hours for this grant. Hopefully the hours can be split between Island and Breakfast Lake. Grant applications have been submitted for Breakfast Lake for a management plant for the milfoil infestation and George Lake for a planning survey. A biologist will survey all of the plants in Breakfast Lake. The milfoil beds will be mapped, and a plant management plan will be submitted to the DNR in 2026. If the application is accepted the grant for treatment of Breakfast Lake will be ready for 2027. We will have to provide funds or volunteer hours for all of the grants. There will be a clean boat clean water and plant id training at the town hall on April 24 from 9-12. It is very important that members from PPOA attend this. We have to have trained volunteers to provide hours to get the grant money. Once the training is done hand pulling of the milfoil can be done on Breakfast Lake. Mechanical harvesting cannot be done without a management plan form the DNR. Shaun figures that the BAIS boat would have to be on Breakfast Lake for 3 weeks at $2,100 a week. (This is just his estimate.) The boat landing cannot be closed. Shaun will look into limiting motor size on the lake. He is also looking into wash stations.
Common Facilities: The plumber has drained the water in all of the buildings. The electricity is also off. Health department concerns: The health department has a calculation for the number of beds/bathrooms. We have more beds than baths so there will be an issue with opening Cedarwood and Cabins 1 & 2. There is also a problem with no sink in the same room as the toilet in the shower houses. There is hand sanitizer in the toilet room. This is a temporary fix.
Administrator report, website, rentals: The website will open for rentals on April 1st.
Treasurer’s Report: The savings account balance is $11,000 and the savings balance is $104,452.06. There $1,000 discrepancy between Quick books and the bank statement. Rick thinks he will be able to find the problem. Hunt Electric still owes $3,000 for the campground rental and we will be receiving $4,800 from Firewise. The late assessment notices will be sent out with the 2006 assessments. Shaun made a motion and Bob seconded to accept the financial report. Motion passed. Shaun made a motion, and Rick seconded a motion to have Chrissy Johnson, Shaun Waggoner, Rick Tello and Nancy Collyard be signers on the savings account.
Firewise: The Firewise grant was for $7,000. We only used $4,800 for chipping. This will probably be reflected in our next year grant. The December meeting will be at Rick’s house and will coincide with the envelope stuffing for assessments. The date and time will be announced. There will be no January or February meeting.
Comments: When Ed buys what he needs to make repairs, he will keep receipts and submit them for reimbursement. Rick would like to Kinetico come out this spring and test our water.
Adjournment: Shawn made a motion, and Kevin seconded it to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 12:00 pm.
Respectfully submitted by Nancy Collyard
