Weed treatment – Theresa:
- Tim Ortman asked about the fish kill due to treatment Sandy said it was not a significant “Fish Kill”
o Dave Tabbut said it was due to heat not weed treatment
- Fee is $35 for each household. Cap has been changed to $2,500 from $750.
o If we get milfoil would that be covered from the treatment (Question to be asked)
§ Decide if we charge $10 for each household
- Bill & Joyce. Motion to keep the fee at $10 per household and the lake association pays the rest. The lake association voted and agreed. 100% in favor
PLM milfoil info – Theresa:

o Offered up to do the plant survey to look for Milfoil to see if we have Milfoil up to $1,350, will check 125 points.
o Al would like to know how soon Lake Association will be notified once it is determined. Tereasa to ask that when PLM Brainerd does the survey.
o Dave Tabbut called for a vote and 100% of the association was in favor of doing the lake survey and for it to come out of the lake association budget
New Business/Additional Comments:
- Nancy Haligan asked John Witstine to look into LID, so John presented his findings.
o (Lake Improvement District) - A LID is a local governmental unit, a political subdivision, established by resolution of a county board, city council or by the commissioner of the department of natural resources. A LID allows for greater local involvement in lake management activities.)
o A LID essentially becomes a layer of government and taxing authority. It can assist in getting potential government funding more easily. The main things they deal with are . . .
§ Manage Water Level
§ Manage Water Quality
§ Manage Aquatic Vegetation
o To start potentially get a petition if 50% or more sign then take it to local government and they approve then DNR approves, then you get a LID.
o Unsure if fees are associated with a LID
o Sandy Frump may need to look into closing the access if others are bringing in weeds. Can possibly petition to close the public access
o Potential to help with funding it may be easier with a LID
o Lake Martha association had no interest at this time in pursuing a LID
- Theresa mentioned that Jim wanted to let everyone that corner of Hamilton and 9th Street he recycles aluminum cans and puts the money towards the association.
o Mentioned we should put the lawn care / can recycling / Randy’s benefits on the website
- Miller trucking who provides us with sand gives the lake association members a get a 10% discount and make a $110 donation towards the lake association.
o Bill gave Nate the check for the $110 to provide to Jim Miller
o Bill to contact Randy’s Sanitation about new people to lake
o Anchor Marine will provide a 5% to 10% discount to lake association members
- Dave mentioned if there are any changes or updates to the website please contact him at dtabbut@yahoo.com
