UNFINISHED BUSINESS

 

Lake Ordinance Enforcement:  Demulling will contact the officer in regards to enforcing the water skipping ordinance.  Discussion was held among the board members and the consensus was to have the officer both explain and distribute the ordinance in writing to the people violating the stated ordinance.  The ordinance was put into effect to conserve and protect the remaining reed beds located near the outlet.

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

Fish Creel Count:  The DNR fish count is to continue through the winter months.  Goodlad and Demulling discussed having talks with Mary Engle who is the DNR fish manager of Cedar Lake.  Demulling is to contact Engle with the future meeting dates to receive a report.

 

Dam Maintenance:  Goodlad brought up a concern involving the safety of school children near the dam on the land acquisition side.  The board discussed installing a gate on this side.  Hayes will contact the Menke family to seek their approval on this matter.

 

Horse Creek Inlet:  Discussion was held regarding the rocks which were placed by Alden Township during the replacement of the culvert on 10th Avenue.  Johnson will verify the final cost and present the bill at the January 2005 meeting.  The board discussed obtaining landowners permission to rock additional frontage of Horse Creek for walleye spawning habitat.  Goodlad will contact the landowners concerned.  Demulling has contacted Mary Engle from the DNR, and he has agreed to help with permits.
