A discussion of any lake shore damage was brought up during the "Public Comments".  Bob G. said his new experimental shore line project to reduce shore line erossion failed in early December.  No other reports were reported.  It is still early in the season and this subject will be discussed again.

 

Doug F. and Bob G. reported that they had reached a final wording on the proposed ordeninces for the Safety and No-Wake marker bouys.  They will present these to both Star Prairie and Alden Township boarde for approval.

 

Don D. reported on the successful trial sinking of on of the cribs on the South end of the lake.  Don also took pictures and these will displayed at the annual meeting.

 

Doug F. reported that he had heard from Gary Lepac, who informed him that he had all of the information he needed to address the flood plain problem. 

 

Bob G reported on the decision of the SPF&G to postpone work on the walleye spawning habitat project on Horse Creek just Nort of the culvert on 10th Avenue, as it is necessary to obtain landowner permission and the ownership of the land selected is uncertain.  A private survey was estimated to cost $10-15,000.  A county wide survey is planned. The postponement was suggested until the county's survey was done.

 

A lengthly discussion of the web site ended with a request that Don D. talk to Dan Michaelis to see if he would/could restructure the web site so that it can be easily edited, added to, linked, and made more user friendly.  John Goodlad has volunteered to act as web master if such a site can be created.  Dennis E. is going to contact pressenter to see if they will host our site with little or no charge as we are a non-profit agency.  Reports are to be given at our next meeting, April 26.

 

The date for the Annual meeting was established as Saturday, August 7, 2004 at 9:00AM at the Cedar Lake School House.

 

A News Letter is going out in April.  Bob G. and Dennis E. are to get the mailing labels for the tax rolls from their respective counties.  It is planned to have a "bounce back" portion on the News Letter that will up date the Cedar Lake Directory.

 

Don D. was elected Secretary.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

 

Bob Goodlad Secretary Pro Temp
